Who compromised the integrity of the Mayo Clinic?
Who compromised scientific method and accuracy?
"Delusional parasitosis" is a label that
only fits patients who are convinced that their condition is caused by
parasites - i.e. patients who refuse to consider the presence of
any other causative agent.Out of a Morgellons population that in general is totally bewildered and looking for causes, explanations and cures everywhere, I cannot believe that the Mayo Clinic has succeeded in attracting
a) only the Morgellons sufferers who have fixed their minds on parasites
b) only the Morgellons sufferers who do not want to try whatever it takes including anti
depressants to get well (or at least better)
for their research project.
I'm pretty sure the test group was not pure in any of the above respects, and in the name of scientific method and accuracy, my questions are the following:
When will the diagnoses of delusional GM-foodosis, delusional pesticidosis, delusional nanotechnosis, delusional DNA-mutationosis, etc. (I can go on - and on - and on) be presented?
When will a project be started to see if antidepressants may represent a cure?
The only thing the Mayo Clinic may be believed in having found out at this point is that there were no parasites of the skin to be found, at least not in any scientifically significant numbers or patterns in the tests and biopsies taken.
The latter is good news in an elimination process, but to jump from a somatic to a psychiatric diagnose on the basis of this kind of "evidence", is the result of another mental condition:
Delusional scientistosis.
And may I add just for good measure: The accurate medical term for people who believe they are sick, but aren't, is hypochondria - if that is what the Mayo Clinic is trying to convey.
To all my fellow sufferers: Avoid swallowing this particular Mayo. Hazardous stuff.
