The New Morgellons Order

On a new Spring Saturday in Austin, Texas, over 100 people, from 22 states and 3 countries,

gathered at Westoak Woods Baptist Church to discuss, as a concerned

community, the mysterious affliction known as Morgellons.

There were NO known representatives in attendance from

the Center for Disease Control

OR their task force agency: Kaiser Permanente One would think that with 75-80% of the people there experiencing Morgellons symptoms,

and a group of credentialed, experienced, independent researchers present; the aforementioned

organizations would be grateful for the opportunity to gather pertinent information from those

who have spent years on the topic...if only to rule out what has been found that Morgellons is not.

IF nothing else, spend a little of that less than $400,000 budgeted to the task force to actually

meet and maybe even examine a couple patients and possibly reassure them that

their government is indeed interested in helping them identify the cause of their suffering

and get them some help .

One would think....

The morning session was ended with "Morgellons Music: A Tribute to Charles E. Holman"

Special Guest: Lee Mounger, Texas Musician

Morgellons and Lyme disease information was presented by various interested and active groups.

Funds, of course, are always needed for continued education and research into these devastating disorders.

Hopefully, when this group, and others who care, join together for the second annual event,

more progress will have been made.

This gathering was overall very positive

considering the obstacles the attendees and their families and care providers are facing.
