Megan's Nightmare

In 2006, my daughter, boyfriend and I contracted a medically undiagnosed skin infection that would nearly destroy our lives.After great persistence and much research, we would later learn that our common, nightmarish symptoms were caused by a genetically modified plant fungus crossed with a virus that infected our hair follicles and nervous system and attracted a microscopic insect, Collembola, to our skin. I believe it may have started with my daughter who one day she showed me a rash she had on her upper back. It looked like a combination of mosquito bites and pimples with white centers. Being a preventative health consultant for over 40 years, I ruled out her healthy diet as the cause and suspected that it might be something in her environment. As her rash didn’t itch or bother her at the time, neither of us were all that concerned about it. Then about a month later, my daughter came to my house to help me and my boyfriend rip up some old carpeting. It was hot that day, and the three of us were sweating from the work. We took a break together on my sofa and soon afterward my boyfriend, and I were both itchy in almost the exact same spot where our upper backs had pressed against the sofa where she also had sat. Within days my boyfriend and I were in hell with a burning itch and sensations of biting and crawling on our skin. Though we believe my daughter contracted the fungus first, she would not experience these symptoms until months later. Now looking back, we suspect that my daughter was first exposed to the fungus months before when she and her boyfriend moved houses. We learned that the prior tenant had a serious skin condition and must have somehow infected the house. Though my daughter contracted the fungus and suffered all the symptoms, her boyfriend did not, which is evidence that not everyone is susceptible. As our symptoms became worse and our lives a living hell, we sought the help of multiple doctors and specialists. In the end, no one had an explanation for what caused our suffering or why the three of us had had the same symptoms. We tried numerous medications, but nothing worked (See what “Doesn’t Work”). The doctors we consulted sent skin scrapings and biopsies for testing, but nothing showed up. They did not test for a fungus on the skin, and even if they had, did a test even exist for what we had? Much later, with a powerful microscope, we would discover the fibrous strands of the infecting fungus. Eventually, we accepted the grim fact that if there was a way out of the hell, it was up to us to find it. I couldn’t work as I was suffering so much and was afraid of spreading whatever I had to others. Researching possible cures, explanations and solutions became my full-time job. Being on my computer was particularly agonizing because my symptoms became worse and I felt like something was attacking me. Burning incense or candles kept whatever it was away until they burnt out. It was clear that this "thing" did not like strong smells and involved a bug since all insects avoid smoke and fire. I was determined to find out what was biting and crawling on us. I created my own traps using clear packing tape and sent multiple samples to the Hawaii State Health Department.The lab positively identified the samples as Collembola, a common microscopic insect. The technicians were surprised that I had collected the samples from inside my house. Collembola, they said, are rarely found in clean environments, are not parasitic and rarely ever bother humans. They explained that these insects are attracted to and feed upon decaying organic matter like leaves and fungus and that they lack the physical anatomy to “bite.” Though discovering the Collembola didn’t explain what was “biting” us, it was nevertheless progress and would lead me in the right direction. We studied Collembola and bought a special microscope to view our samples. We learned that these insects are incredibly prolific, are more resilient than cockroaches and can be found in the harshest of environments such as the Arctic and active volcanic lava tubes. That was bad news as it explained why extreme temperature changes didn’t kill them off.My boyfriend and I tried everything we could get our hands on since we could not live with the torture. If you think of something, I have more than likely tried it in the 2 ½ years of this nightmare. In all, we spent over $15,000, but nothing worked. We tried different pest control companies and all conceivable types of fumigation sprays, powders and steamers. Some companies told us that nothing worked for this kind of problem. One company told me that they had run across it in two other homes. In one house, just the babies were being attacked and in the other, just one out of a family of five were affected.In 2008, I created a website to share my story and warn others about this condition. I hoped that I could save fellow sufferers from wasting their time and money on all the things that I tried that did nothing but hurt my immune system. Soon after, someone read my site and contacted me to tell me about CeadarCide, the manufacturer of two products that would prove a critical part of clearing Collembola and fungus from one’s environment. At this point, I started to believe that this condition was a deviation from the natural order of life. Why would Collembola, an insect that is attracted to fungi and decaying matter and helps break down human corpses, attack a living person? It was baffling. Was this condition the accidental byproduct of genetic modification gone wrong? Or worse, was it created for darker purposes? Some of my suspicions were affirmed when I read that CedarCide had been created for the military’s use in killing pesticide resistant mites in the Middle East. Later, after collecting hundreds of surveys and after speaking with thousands, I learned that healthier people with clean internal systems are more susceptible than people who live on red meat and junk food. That this attacks healthy people is highly strange since diseases in nature usually prune out the weakest members of a species. I also know that females and older men are more prone to get this. To date, very few young men have ever contacted me. I believe if a person is susceptible, that once exposed they will contract the fungus and eventually attract the fungus loving insects to their skin, thereby worsening their condition. I also know that a strong immune system is critical to getting over this. See my book Don't Pollute Your Own Stream re-published under You're Not Fat You're Swollen on Amazon. It will teach you how to build a healthy and strong immune system to help fight this. There is a happy ending to this story! After 2-1/2 years of suffering and tireless experimentation on myself at great expense, I finally developed the protocol on this site that lead to my full recovery and way out of hell. My daughter and boyfriend were also cleared and have been well ever since. I now have a normal life. Never did I think there would be so much joy in simple things like using the same towel and sheets for a week. I even wear the same clothes for days on end just to celebrate that I can do that. When my toddler granddaughter stayed at my house for 10-days, I was so grateful that she was not in any danger of getting the plague I had suffered with for so long. To take hot bubble baths with her and cuddle her in my arms was something I could not imagine during my struggle. I am in gratitude even being able to type this letter unmolested by any irritating menace since it had been excruciating to be at my computer for all those years of torture. The turning point came at a time when I had reached the limit. I could no longer go on suffering. I am strong of spirit, but I had been worn down to the degree that I wanted to end my life. I was sleeping naked in the bathtub with no blankets or pillow trying to get some sleep and burning my skin with a magnifying glass in the sun during the day trying to get some relief from the burning itch. I bargained with God that if I was cured, I promised to help others overcome this nightmare as well. My prayer was answered. Shortly after, I was in Wal-Mart when a woman I had known 20 years earlier walked up to me out of the blue and told me that Cats Claw was good for skin infections. I was completely covered with clothing from head to toe so how she would know I had any skin problem was a mystery. Then another person I had just met gave me the body wash to try saying my skin looked damaged so maybe this mild soap would help. These and the cedar products for the environment turned out to be what saved my life. My prayer is that you, who by the grace of God have found me, will follow the protocol I have sacrificed so much of my life energy to create and lead yourself back into a peaceful life as well. Once out of harm's way, I hope you too will care enough to contribute in some way to helping those still out there suffering from this nightmare. Until we are all free from this, we must reach out to those still in need. If we do not reach back then, did we deserve the help we received? If I did not try to help others after I was safe, did I deserve the help that came from sincere prayers to God for help to heal this in myself and others? The answer is why I am still here doing this…. Peace to You,Megan

FAQ

How long will it take for me to get over this? What I have witnessed is that protocol works like mathematics but how thoroughly you do the required steps is a huge factor. It also depends on how long you and your environment have been infected without doing anything that works to stop it. The reinfection part of this is the biggest factor. The longer you have been suffering, the more there is in your environment to reinfect you. You could get over this in a week if you have just had symptoms for a week. If you have had symptoms for months, then you could still get over this in a week or two IF you are not reinfected by something you are still living with IE person, upholstery, car, etc. If you take time off work and concentrate your efforts and treat EVERY time you feel a symptom immediately, you will get clear faster. Doing the protocol halfway means it may take months to get clear since everytime you feel a symptom and do not treat the fungus is progressing. What is the difference between this and skin mites? Skin mites live under the skin, and the mites in this condition are foragers and only come to feed on fungus on the surface of the skin. No skin mites ever showed up in my scrapings or biopsies, nor for anyone else, in the last 11 years, I have been consulting on this. *There have been many scrapies that show positive for an “unidentifiable” fungus. Skin mites are easy to get rid of with standard treatments. Scabies infects the creases of the body and this fungus condition predominately over larger areas like back, chest, arms, etc. Even bird mites and their bites are easy to treat. Most people, including myself, treated for bird mite bites and then scabies as a first attempt which of course does not work. What is sad is that all creams prescribed for those conditions make the fungus worse even if symptoms are subdued for a short while. For myself and most people, the bugs end up crawling into the eyes, ears, and other orifices but not to live; they are just after the fungus that consistently infects the edge of mucous membranes. Both the fungus and the Collembola seek moisture, so the bugs crawl further into orifices attracted to the moisture there but not to live or reproduce. What is the difference between the bug symptoms and the fungus symptoms? Bugs do not land and never move again. It is assumed they burrowed into the skin, but this is not what the sensation of something landing on me was. As it turned out, it was my own hairs moving and touching due to inflammation of the hair follicles; something I never felt before. The only true bug symptom is something crawling from point A to point B across your skin. Everything else turned out to be a fungus symptom, IE pinpricking, biting, stinging, tickling, something landing and not moving, tingling, feather brushing, and burning itch. Do my pets get infected, spread or carry this? This is a question on the data surveys and intakes I have been collecting for the last 12 years, and I would have to say no correlation from the 1,000’s of answers I have received. From the research of these surveys, the fungus does not infect the pets probably due to the difference of their body chemistry. I do believe the pets are bothered if there are large numbers of Collembola bugs in the house but the Collembola are not after the pet since the bug is not a parasite they are only fungus loving insects after the fungus which so far does not infect pets. Why don’t others I live with feel anything? Only those with certain body chemistry are vulnerable to the fungus infecting their skin, so the bugs are not on them. Predominately those who are susceptible are all females, next in line are babies and children and then men over 50. Cases of young men between the age of 19-40 are almost non-existent. Is this contagious? YES, it is VERY contagious! From what I have witnessed from my own and everyone else's stories, it is spread through skin to skin contact and infected upholstery, clothing, and linens. What started in California, Texas, and Florida is now in almost every state in the US. I have now consulted with countries all over Europe and Asia. England, Ireland, India, Canada, Australia, Japan, just to name a few. It is what the infected person has been “intimate” with that is likely now infected. Unless this is on your hands, not everything you have touched is infected but what you have sat or laid on or worn most likely is. Is there a doctor I can see? Unfortunately no. I have written hundreds of letters even to doctors specializing in GMO caused illnesses. I saw nine doctors myself with no help. No one so far has helped anyone that I know of and nothing anyone has been prescribed internally or topically has worked. I was told that in most cases what was prescribed made the person worse by either weakening their immune system or proliferating the fungus with cream. One specialist told me that I knew the most about this condition; not the answer I was looking for when I was still suffering looking for help. Does a mite mattress cover work? NO, a fungus can pass right through this. Does an air purifier work? NO, this is not an airborne infestation Does tenting my house work? NO, this is a question on my intakes. No pest control company treatments have been effective. Why do I feel bugs everywhere I go? Collembola is one of the most common and prolific fungi and mold loving insects in the world. Found in every pile of decaying leaves and also anywhere where a water leak in a structure has caused mold. You would never know these bugs are there in your yard or structure because they are only after a fungus, not humans. They are not a parasite; only a fungus foraging insect with no apparatus to bite or sting. This is the first time in the history of the human race that fungus loving bugs (which can also include fungus flies) have been attracted to a person with a fungus infection. Jocky itch, athletes foot, wring worm, yeast infection, etc have NEVER attracted fungus loving insects although they are all fungus infections. That is why I firmly believe this is a genetically modified fungus.
