Morgellons - The Disease Doctors Refuse To Treat

Imagine being so sick you're unable to work, but can't find a doctor

who will help you.

 

Mainstream medical professionals don't believe Morgellons is real.

 

KHOU discovered that is exactly what is happening to a growing number

of people in Texas, Florida and California.

 

Morgellons disease is an illness first documented more than 300 years

ago, yet it is still considered a mystery.

 

Cheryall Spiller moves slower than she once did around her Rosharon

farm. The 59-year-old suffers from what she believes is a mystery disease.

 

" Small white worms that come out of my ears, you can feel them itching

in there. You can get a Q-tip and dig them out, " she explained.

 

Spiller is not alone.

 

" The sores come up and these fuzzy things come out, " said Stephanie

Bailey, Austin resident. " It's almost like spores or something like that. "

 

Lesions and scars cover Stephanie Bailey's arms and legs.

 

Travis Wilson is a victim too.

 

" Feeling like bugs are crawling all over you. You can't sleep. It's

freaky. So he'd go days without sleep, " said Lisa Wilson, patient's

mother.

 

According to nurse practitioner Ginger Savely, all three may have an

emerging sickness called Morgellons disease.

 

" it just looks you know like somebody picked at something and it got a

little infected, " Savely said.

 

When magnified 60 times the sores take on a different look.

 

" So you focus a little more you can see the black fibers the white

fibers, " Savely said.

 

Savely admitted the idea of creatures living inside our bodies seems

more like science fiction than science.

 

" I don't think a person can believe it until they see it with their

own eyes, " she said. " The problem is people aren't looking hard

enough, most practitioners are not looking because they are not taking

them seriously. "

 

Mainstream medical professionals don't believe Morgellons is real.

 

" 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 her observations, " said Dr. Adelaide Hebert, U.T. Health

Science Center Houston.

 

Dr. Adelaide Hebert said Morgellons exists only in the patient's mind.

 

" Many of these patients do have delusion of parasitosis, " Dr. Hebert

said. " It is actually not uncommon to have patients come in and

describe the sensation that something is crawling on their skin. "

 

11 News could not locate any Houston doctor who believes in or treats

Morgellons. At Oklahoma State University research is underway on a

volunteer basis.

 

Ginger Savely has documented 100 cases and treats her patients with

oral and topical antibiotics.

 

" They 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 said.

 

Lisa Wilson's son became so distraught about his condition he took his

own life two weeks ago.

 

" He would tell me he'd rather have cancer because then he'd know what

he was up against, " Lisa Wilson said.

 

" They're worried about the bird flu coming, you've got something here

right now that's spreadable and it's being hush-hushed, " Spiller said.

 

" They told me I was doing it to myself and that I was nuts, " Bailey

explained. " I stopped going to doctors because I was afraid they were

going to lock me up. "

 

The scars are more than skin deep.
