Hi all. I just wanted to pass this information along. Some of you may have heard about this before, some not. I don't know if it has any relevance, but I think certainly worth looking into.
Like Lyme disease, morg is not cured with antibiotics. Sometimes it goes away for a bit with antibiotics, but returns, or so I have read.
My sister sent me this article on Morgellons which I found interesting. Here is the article: I will post what I found interesting below.

In the article: Biofilms Increase Antibiotic Resistance
Further complicating Morgellons treatment is the biofilm potential of microorganisms. According to leading research, when bacteria are organized in biofilms, they produce highly effective biochemical substances which individual bacteria are unable to produce alone.
Because the dense extracellular matrix and the outer layer of cells in a biofilm protect the interior of the community, antibiotic resistance can be reportedly be increased 1000 fold. It has recently been shown that biofilms are present on the removed tissue of 80% of patients undergoing surgery for chronic sinusitis.
Another website explained biofilm kind of like a ziplock bag. When you take antibiotics, the bacteria hides inside the ziplock bag (biofilm).
Sooooooo, I did research on how to break through the biofilm, so that if I do take antibiotics or oregano oil, I can actually get to the offender. This is what I found:

and
goodbyelyme.com/free-articles/biofilm/how-to-keep-recurring-lyme-symptoms-away-with-these-biofilm-busting-herbs
There is also an Ayuvedic Chinese herb called terminalia chebula which does this.

Anyone have any information on this or personal experience with any of these herbs?
I have also read that raw garlic breaks through biofilm. I am eating 2-3 garlic cloves a day. I am chopping them up and swallowing them like pills. You can't chew raw garlic, it will burn your mouth.
I follow it with Oregano oil, Olive leaf, Grapefruit seed extract, and Ginger caps.
Just thought this was interesting. Would like to hear all your thoughts about this.
Thanks,
Kat
