Hi PhredE, please allow me to speculate.

because....as a liberal senator, he is subservient to
The Trilateral Commission and/or
The Council on Foreign Relations and/or
The Illuminati

His loyality to one or more of these organizations transcends his obligation (either expressed or implied) to obey The Hippocratic Oath.

Shame, shame!

COTO,

You've convinced me. I don't like even reading this stuff. I'm afraid of catching something. I feel ill

OUTBREAK!
Yet another disease,
BOUGHT TO YOU BY ILLEGALS

Folks, you don't EVEN want to catch this...

Morgellons Disease is particularly bad news.

Border mystery disease: Is huge scare even real?
Symptoms include persistent lesions, fibers popping out of skin, brain fog

A nonprofit foundation is working to drum up awareness of a border-area mystery disease that's been described as something out of a horror film, but which most mainstream doctors refuse to admit exists.

The Morgellons Research Foundation hopes to inform lawmakers and public-health officials of the disease to try to work toward an eventual cure.

As WorldNetDaily reported, Morgellons disease, a mysterious infection seemingly similar to one documented 300 years ago, is spreading throughout South Texas. While the disease has not been known to kill and doesn't appear to be contagious, it's the horrible symptoms that have some working feverishly to find an effective treatment.

The South Texas outbreak's proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border comes at a time when the issues of illegal immigration, border security and possible amnesty for over 12 million illegal aliens are being debated in the U.S.

According to the foundation's website, symptoms include skin lesions that do not heal, a crawling sensation on the surface of the skin, fatigue, cognitive difficulties and, perhaps the most disturbing, fibers popping out of the skin.

States the site: "[The fibers] are generally described by patients as white, but clinicians also report seeing blue, green, red, and black fibers, that fluoresce when viewed under ultraviolet light (Wood's lamp)."

Travis Wilson, a Morgellons sufferer for over a year, once called his mother in to see a fiber coming out of a lesion in his chest.

"It looked like a piece of spaghetti was sticking out about a quarter to an eighth of an inch long and it was sticking out of his chest," Lisa Wilson told the San Antonio Express-News. "I tried to pull it as hard as I could out and I could not pull it out.

"He'd have attacks and fibers would come out of his hands and fingers, white, black and sometimes red. Very, very painful," said Wilson.

A variety of other symptoms range from neurological and gastrointestinal problems to changes in skin pigment. Some people have also reported black, tarry beads of sweat.

While it's impossible to know how many Americans – who appear to be concentrated in California, Texas and Florida – suffer with the disease, the foundation says thousands with one or more symptom have registered with it.

Even so, most of the medical community don't see the disease as real, with some doctors telling patients it's all in their head.


"They (doctors) told me I was just doing this to myself, that I was nuts. So basically I stopped going to doctors because I was afraid they were going to lock me up," said sufferer Stephanie Bailey.

A big question medical professionals are wrestling with is how victims come down with the disease.

"It is difficult to say whether Morgellons is contagious," states the FAQ page on the foundation's site. "Many of our group have family members who exhibit no symptoms whatever. On the other hand, many entire families have reported becoming infected at or near the same time. At this juncture, it remains unclear if these households with multiple infected members reflect contagion, due to human-to-human transmission, or some type of mutual exposure."

The name for the disease comes from a condition involving "black hairs" emerging from the skin of children, which was documented in France in the 1600s. While experts say it is doubtful the modern-day disease is linked to the 17th century occurrences, the name was chosen, says the Morgellons Foundation, to provide "a consistent label when addressing politicians, physicians and health departments."

Mary Leitao is executive director of the Morgellons Foundation. She became involved several years ago when her 2-year-old son began exhibiting symptoms.

"The goal of the foundation is to find a cure for Morgellons disease," Leitao told WND. "The other goal is to determine the cause."

Leitao explained that Randy Wymore, Ph.D., of Oklahoma State University is working on getting research work started at the school.

"His goal is to see patients and to investigate it medically and scientifically," Leitao said.

One obstacle, she explained, is that there is not a diagnostic test for Morgellons disease. Even so, Leitao stressed that the skin lesions with fibers appears to be a symptom that links nearly all victims.

"If a physician is able to view these skin lesions under magnification, they may see these fibers," Leitao said.

Since the disease is hard to pin down, treatments vary widely.

Said Leitao: "Some physicians are treating it with pretty high-dose antibiotics. Others are using other meds, including pain medications. It can be a very uncomfortable disease for people."

Leitao said officials at the Centers for Disease Control are "not sure there's a situation going on here" so are reticent to take action.

"I don't think the CDC has heard from enough physicians, because many physicians don't recognize the illness," she said. "They just think the illness is psychosomatic."

Leitao stressed she is committed to finding a cure because of the devastation she has seen in the lives of victims. Many no longer work because of the brain fog that often accompanies the disorder.

"They can't mentally focus on tasks," she said. "They're extremely fatigued and severely depressed – in addition to the skin symptoms."

Indeed, Travis Wilson committed suicide three weeks ago.

"I knew he was going to kill himself, and there was nothing I could do to stop him," his mother said.

Dr. Adelaide Hebert of the University of Texas Health Science Center Houston is unconvinced Morgellons is an actual medical disorder.

"I think if we look at what is truly evidence-based medicine, what has been proven based on scientific fact we know we don't have a means to substantiate [Morgellons]," Hebert told KVUE-TV.

Hebert believes Morgellons exists only in the patient's mind.

"Many of these patients do have delusion of parasitosis," Hebert is quoted as saying. "It is actually not uncommon to have patients come in and describe the sensation that something is crawling on their skin."

Ginger Savely is a nurse practitioner in Austin, Texas, who has documented over 100 incidents of Morgellons.

"[Sufferers] can't get anybody to help them in the medical profession. It's just a nightmare, a living nightmare. I can't imagine any worse disease," she told the TV station.

Some doctors who do recognize the disorder as a medical disease sit on the Medical Advisory Board of the Morgellons Research Foundation.

Says Gregory V. Smith, M.D., a member of the board: "This disorder is much more common than anyone suspects. … During the course of my practice activity, I have seen numerous children … a minimum of three children daily in my office with suspicious skin lesions."

Adds another board member, William T. Harvey, M.D.: "The Morgellon's phenomenon is real. It is also clearly devastating, life-shortening and infectious. I have observed the herald lesions microscopically with their central fibers in dozens of patients."

Leitao remains hopeful for a cure – not only for her own son but countless others.

"It's a bizarre disease; I will admit to that," Leitao said. "But it's a real disease and the people need real help."

WHOOPING COUGH

Just want to add this to the Communicable Disease Scoreboard.
Thanks, and hats off to JohnB2012 for finding out about it.

Here's the link

Remember that spinach scare where a lot of people got sick? I was talking with someone who is familiar with farming, and they felt pretty confident that the illness was due to the illegals. He said that illegals go to the bathroom in the field, and just cover it up! I never thought about that before.

Thanks, and hats off to Moosetracks, for finding out about
this new anti-American weapon in the illegals' arsenal.

Hi Moosetracks,

Coupled with the annual movement of another 12 million refugees and immigrants. Immigration to the United States just from Africa -- the original source of the majority of new and re-emerging zoonoses, including chikungunya -- increased a staggering 670 percent from the 1980s to the 1990s..

Moosetracks, I did some checking around on the illegals' latest weapon,
and there is NO CURE for chikungunya,

VECTOR is the Aedes Aegypti mosquito.

Although not considered fatal, there have been 77 known deaths attributed to this disease.

One more small point.
Globalist politicians, such as Hillary and John McCain, are immune
to this and other illegals borne diseases.

This reminds me of an anecdote posted a few years back by someone commenting on his H-1b replacements. One of them had visible jaundice and no one seemed alarmed or concerned .... Wish I still had the link. If I showed up for work with jaundice, I'd be sent home or transported by ambulance.

These articles are not factual - there are many reasons for controlling illegals, but these are not.
1. TB - Many third world nations - including Mexico - administer the BCG vaccine to all their children, a vaccine against TB. America doesn't use it - but it really seems to work. England uses it - but our CDC - just doesn't.
The BCG will cause Mexican children to produce false positive PPD results.
2. Mexico in fact far surpasses America in vaccine coverage of children at this time because they do not require parental consent. The country is divided into sectors - and the assigned "nurses" will administer on site - whether it is at school, on the streets or where ever.
3. Mexican children receive multiple polio vaccines - sometimes 10-15 vaccines.
4. TB proliferates in America because of HIV, regardless of the nationality of the host - the compromised immune systems become cesspools of disease - #1 - is TB - often drug resistant.
5. Mexicans are affected by worms that are found in undercooked meat- but they are not contagious person to person. \
6. Mexicans biggest health plague is Diabetes - now that is where their diseases hurt Americans. Diabetes and the associated disease processes drain the medical dollars of the American taxpayer. If they are going to come to this country- we must devise a plan to make them pay for healthcare.

Hi gr8ncrn,

There appear to be contradictions between what you posted and the documented research published by Dr. Cosman, and by other medical writers far smarter than I am.
