The link between GMOs and Morgellons is pretty flimsy at best. The "link" that supposedly links GMO and Morgellons is the bacterium Agrobacterium that is used to make genetically modified crops. The thing is that this bacterium is found on ALL crops and plants and you get just as much Agrobacterium on the purest, most organic foods as you do on GMO foods.

I guess everyone will have to put away their tinfoil hats until the CDC comes back with some legitimate, experimentally verifiable evidence as to what the cause of Morgellons might be.

We were supposed to be using tin foil? All this time, I've been using a trash can lid!

Cause? You mean until they have some evidence that it is real. Thus far all "samples" that have been sent to reputable labs have been scabs, fibers from clothing, etc. Trust me, if someone presents to a hospital and there's something legitimate the physicians would be fighting over who gets to publish. I'm not beyond convincing, but thus far there's just been no evidence that this is anything beyond psychiatric.

Like "Gulf-war" syndrome then.

If it really did afflict anyone then the MSM would jump on it. Those who 'suffer' and die from it's symptoms must all be making it up.

don't worry..that works just as well...better in fact.

I prefer tinfoil (excuse me, aluminum foil)....its lighter than the trash can lid and a bit more form-fitting!

But then you have to worry about aluminum and Alzheimer's Disease (another often cited myth)...you just can't win!!!!

I do believe that Morgellon's disease is real. I also know that Gulf War Syndrome is real (I live with someone who was there).

It's easy for people to think that "it's all in someone's head" until it actually happens to them or someone close to them.

I still say they are just folks with too much time on their hands. There are hypochondriacs who will claim they have anything new or mysterious they hear about.

Now the Gulf War Syndrome...I know that is not imaginary. But I think if I wanted to find an actual Morgellon's sufferer, someone with real symptoms that could be viewed, I'd be walking a long, long time.
