  • Morgellons: an Exercise in Medical Validation Introduction
    Harry Quinn Schone Morgellons: an exercise in medical validation Introduction Morgellons may or may not be a modern affliction, but the circumstances in which it exists are distinctly specific to the 21st century.1 The existing literature is both sparse and voluminous. Medical journal work is lacking, whilst patient­written material stretches all over the internet.2 Almost totally absent is an academic effort which tries to document what has happened from a social constructivist position, taking account of both accredited literature and otherwise. In the following piece I hope to go some way towards filling this gap, and so I will now briefly outline my point of view. I do not believe it is necessary to engage in complex and often circular debates about aetiology. Remove this dangerous temptation and what is left is the processes: who is made to feel how and by what means; what makes a ‘disease’, what is ‘medical authority’ and how does it exercise said authority? These are the questions I hope to answer. Neutrality is impossible, but hopefully by aiming towards it I can achieve something close to meaningful analysis as a byproduct of such efforts. To this end I have attempted to regard both academic and non­academic sources as valuable. ‘Sticking to the literature’ in this case would I believe prove myopic and do a disservice to the heterogeneity of the actors involved. In short, I am not concerned so much with the symptoms and the various causal debates, but rather with the way that Morgellons illustrates power structures between patients and the medical community.

  • Healing with Magnets by Gary Null, Ph.D
    Healing With Magnets By Gary Null, Ph.D. With Vicki Riba Koestler Biomagnetic therapy is not a new to everyone. Many veterinarians have been aware of biomagnetic benefits for years, and use magnets to heal fractures quickly, thereby saving the lives of racehorses and other animals. Doctors treating professional athletes commonly recommend magnets to speed up recovery from painful injuries. And other physicians in a variety of specialties, including dermatologists, internists, pediatricians, and surgeons, are seeing excellent results as well That magnetic healing is nothing new can be seen by looking at early records of scientifically advanced civilizations, which tell us that magnetic forces have long been prized for their restorative properties. Ancient Greece discovered the very first natural magnet in the form of the lodestone, said Hippocrates, the father of medicine, noted its healing power. The Egyptians, too, described the divine powers of the magnet in their writings, and Cleopatra frequently adorned herself with magnetic jewelry to preserve her youthfulness. Chinese manuscripts dating back thousands of years describe the Eastern belief that the life force, termed qi , is generated by the earth’s magnetic field. Today, many believe that certain places on earth, such as Lourdes, France, and Sedona, Arizona, owe their healing powers to naturally high levels of this qi , or biomagnetic energy. Finally, no one claims that magnetic therapy is going to work for everyone. However, ample clinical and personal evidence suggests that people experience a beneficial effect. One is led to ponder whether when Hippocrates wrote, “The natural force within each of us is that greatest healer of all,” he did not have magnetic energy in mind.

    TRIALS AND TRENDS IN CARING FOR PATIENTS WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC HYPERSENSITIVITY AT ONTARIO’S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH CLINIC WSF MONTREAL, AUGUST 13TH, 2016 Dr. Riina I. Bray BASc MSc MD FCFP MHSc Medical Director, Women’s College Hospital, Environmental Health Clinic Assistant professor, Department of Family and Community Medicine and Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto. Environmental Health Clinic The Environmental Health Clinic is a unique multidisciplinary clinic, and the only one of its kind in Ontario. It was established in 1996 by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to be a provincial resource in promoting environmental health, and to improve health care for people with environment-linked conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and environmental sensitivities (CMI – Chronic Multisystem Illnesses). The Environmental Health Clinic is a program run through Women's College Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto. BACKGROUND • Patient demographics – mean age approximately 50 years old and 80% are women. Women seem to be statistically more sensitive to EMF than men, as they are to chemicals. • Gaps in knowledge and understanding in the medical community and the general public about how this technology works and the health impacts. • Large gaps in research in this area, especially in North America.

  • Morgellons by Mary Leitao, Who Had a Son Who’M Suffered from This Condition
    To the Lyme inquiry Panel. About three years ago I got an itchy sore that would not heal, then suddenly the sores spread over the bottom half of my legs and I also had sores on my hands and arms. I felt fatigued and had mysterious pains shooting through my nerves and bones I went to a local doctor who had no idea what was going on. To make a long story shorter I got treated for staph with antibiotics, and have had to take antibiotics for kidney and urinary tract infections three times in the past three years and once for lung infection. My partner looked at my sores with a magnifying glass and saw strange fibers in my skin, so I researched and found I had all the symptoms of what has been named morgellons by Mary Leitao, Who had a son who’m suffered from this condition. As I could not work and was very ill, I did attempt to see expensive private doctors as well as spending about $200 a fortnight on natural antibiotics, so given my research I gave up on asking for anything else from any doctor than monitoring of my blood to make sure all my vitamin and other levels were good, I do not.blame them for suggesting I am delusional, I know however how much pain I have been through and it amazes me how a delusion can manifest real sore and ulcers that will not heal. This is the description doctors see on wikipedia Morgellons From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Morgellons disease Classification and external resources Specialty Psychiatry MeSH D055535 [edit on Wikidata] Morgellons (/mɔː(ɹ)ˈdʒɛlənz/), also called Morgellons disease or Morgellons syndrome, is a condition in which people have the delusional belief that they are infested with disease-causing agents described as things like insects, parasites, hairs or fibers, while in reality no such things are present.[1] People with the condition may exhibit a range of cutaneous symptoms such as crawling, biting, and stinging sensations (formication), unusual fibers in the skin, and persistent skin lesions (e.g., rashes or sores).
