- Dear Jeff,
-
- Here is a doctor, Jeffrey Maffert, MD, who has done
absolutely zero clinical research on Morgellons Disease and yet can diagnose
what this disease IS NOT, and do it sight unseen. It appears that he
is an experienced doctor with the great gift of being able to judge and
dismiss what things are by merely looking at photos. No real medical
research needed, I guess. Must be nice to be omnipotent. Sadly, for
Morgellons victims, this is a pervasive medical attitude we are dealing
with every day. I am adding the comparative photos he sent me to my research
findings below.
-
- He must think I am the villiage idiot to buy into his
immediate dismissal of my data. This, again, is how the average 'medical
mind' works and the world needs to understand it clearly. By the way,
Meffert is a former Air Force doctor. He is also not saying that all
Morgies are DOP, but he is certainly calling all of those who believe
that Morgellons is related to nanotechnology or chemtrails, charlatans.
In some ways, he is worse than a flat-out naysayer because he wants to
gain the approval of the public by playing the caring physician. Another
wolf in sheep's clothing.
-
- In any case, interacting with him has been just another
discouraging foray into the orthodox medical mind and 'professional'
health industry. As you will see, he read what I had to say in my letters
and discounted all of it on the spot...

- Note - It seems the good Doctor will only open his welded-shut,
arrogant mind when he starts picking fibers, gristle and goo out of lesions
on his own body or that of his family. - ed

- Jan's first letter:
-
- Dear Dr Meffert,
-
- I am yet another of " those people" with Morgellons
Disease. I can assure you that I only wish that this disease was restricted
to colored fibers. I hope you will take the time to read the recent paper
I wrote that was sent to congress as a small part of a 200 page document
that was written by researchers in the medical profession. Those researchers
include toxicologists, neurologists (yes, people are getting brain lesions
associated with this disease) pathologists and internal disease specialists.
-
- I hope you will take a look at my portion of this paper
and the over 55 photos of various manifestations of this disease. I know
of no doctor who has actually studied this disease that is still saying
that people have Delusions of Parasitosis. I feel that in order for you
to make public statements condemning people with this disease that you
owe it us to do the research before you make your judgments. If I thought
that filling myself with piperazine laden psychotropic drugs was the answer
I could have done that long ago. If you can explain to me why I have
silicosis and that hairs on my body are coated in silicon when I have
never had any silicone/silicon of any nature in my body, that would be
interesting. All I can say is please do the research on actual afflicted
victims before casting out harmful and denigrating opinions of people
who are all ready suffering, largely due to the arrogance of the medical
community and its refusal to accept the fact that this IS a new disease
that you are not able to diagnose.
-
- All of the photos in this paper were taken on an inexpensive
digital microscopic camera and are not retouched or staged in any way.
All I ask if for you to keep an open mind and take a look. http://www.nanotechdisease.com/JanSmithLetter.htm
- I am well known in the Morgellons circles and do many
radio broadcasts. I hope to hear from you.

-
- I will take a look at your link/paper but I take issue
with several of your confrontational statements in this letter even though
I have never met you nor been one of the doctors who let you down.
-
- "still saying that people have Delusions of Parasitosis":
Over and over again, I have been saying that DoP is the small minority
of patients who feel they have that which is called morgellon's disease.
Most patients have chronic, frustrating itchy skin problems and if DoP
becomes part of the problem, it does so much later.
- "condemning people with this disease ": Never
have I condemned the patients. I have expressed frustration at the MRF
who want everything their way. And I have condemned the charlatans who
want to sell you biosensor realignment devices, "medical grade diatomaceous
earth" to eat, and such nonsense, or just want you to send them money
so they can look into the problem more..
-
- By the way, your "claw nanotube" picture shows
the legs and thorax of a demodex mite. It's a pretty crisp picture, though.
-
- Typcial Demodex mite...
-
-
-
-
- Jan Smith's Morgellons sample with 'claws'...
-
-
-
- Demodex lives in all adult facial hair follicles and
can occasionally cause inflammation but aren't otherwise dangerous and
cannot burrow in the skin. Several of your other pictures also show
demodex. If you put a drop of superglue on your nose, let it dry, and
pull it off for examination under the microscope, you will find a lot
of these tube like mites stuck to it. I'll take a look at other parts
of your site later.

- Dr Jeffrey Meffert's 3rd email: another addendum
-
- Me again. I looked at your site and it's not clear to
me how you are determining that some of these things are silicon based.
Some of the photos are textile fibers stuck in scabs. Others I would
need some info on the context. Other than the demodex, plant parts, and
hair, I don't see anything I would identify as alive. Perhaps the CDC
can help.

- As for the nano machine it could be a bit of quartz or
a paint chip but is most likely a piece of glass
-
- (Top row: Jan Smith's amazing photos of three different,
bizarre 'machines.' Note the fluorescent colored 'triangles' inside on
the upper left. Now notice the image on the
- right..it has been opened with a pin, and the center
then touched with the pin tip. The center immediately LIT UP and began
glowing a bright yellow color. Dr. Maffert dismissed the top three images...and
suggested they are just pieces of 'glass' (his center photo) or 'quartz'
or a 'paint chip' (bottom 2 images). We fail to find his explanation
plausible in any way, or see any similarity in his photos and Jan's top
three. -ed)
-
-
-
-
- You say a machine. What have you seen it do?

-
- PS: Re: "please do the research on the actual people.
" I do real patient care on real people. I don't know why they all
itch and freely admit that. I do know, however, what sort of things work
and what things don't. There is more and more known science regarding
the chemical changes that go on in the skin that make things itch and
ooze. We don't have all the answers yet but it is becoming much clearer
and that is using the traditional scientific method to study it. A dollar
spent chasing known things such as fibers stuck to scabs and normal body
mites is a dollar not spent on the unknown part of it. Sorry, that's the
way I feel. I hope you feel better soon.
-
-
- Dr Meffert 4th email: addendum
-
- Watched your video. Those are thin textile fibers swaying
with ambient air currents (includes your breathing). The melt test confirms
that they are synthetic fibers, probably polyester. Tease out a thread
from a polyester shirt or jacket and you will see that they melt with
the same black lump on the end. You get the same thing on a bigger scale
if you set fire to a bigger piece of plastic (like a plastic toothpick).
-
- Sorry. Just not that mysterious and nothing nanotech
about it. I won't bug you again about it though and I really do hope you
get some relief.

- Jan's second letter:
-
- Dear Dr. Meffert,
-
- Thank you for your response, I do appreciate that you
took the time to read my paper.
-
- The statements about silicon and silicone in my letter
were a result of independent lab tests done at four separate labs including
Lambda Labs, and MIT/Woodshole labs. These two labs in particular concluded
that the material was nanotechnology as reported to Dr Hildegarde Staninger.
-
- The samples went to the labs as unknowns and no hint
of what the samples were was given to any of the labs. Other findings
included polyethylene fibers. You are correct about the melting since
these self-replicating polymer fibers are used as a nuclear envelope for
pathogenic materials of both a biological and chemical nature. I can
tell you that this research has been done and confirmed by reliable and
unbiased sources. Needless to say, these labs were able to see the materials
at a particle level and the larger formations are combined nanoparticles
which puts them at a macro level.
-
- Here is a paper by one of the researchers.
-
- There is a radio program that was done in conjunction
with showing this paper which fill in the gaps.
- http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_morgellons01.htm
-
- The radio program is available at this web address:
- http://rense.gsradio.net:8080/rense/special/rensemorgellons7.mp3
-
- I am currently working with scientists at a university
who are all ready finding convincing evidence with their Fournier and
Raman testing of Morgellon's samples.
-
- I realize that this is a bizarre and unnatural disease
but I do not have demodex mites. In my case I am not even bothered by
itching.
-
- The claw formation is spot-on for nanotechnology as seen
in this paper. http://www.nanotechdisease.com/PDF/00_AM_2[1].pdf.
-
- The communications array in my paper is also part of
this company's research and is shown within. I can only hope that the
medical community will be open to something entirely novel and take a
second look.
-
- Stating this disease as Nanotechnology was not something
chosen out of thin air. It was stated by two reputable labs without any
coaxing. I only hope that the medical community can realize with this
new emergent and potentially dangerous technology there problems are
possible.
-
- Many young children have this disease. It is not much
of a future for them to look forward to. When children are only two or
three years old and suffering they are not able to comprehend why no
one will help them and it is heartbreaking. Once again, thank you for
taking the time to reply to me. I do hope this disease can be properly
diagnosed soon.
-
- Thank you,
-

-
- Dr Jeffrey Meffert's 5th email...
-
- There's a problem here. You showed me a picture of a
demodex mite. I told you what that picture is and you say it's not. You
say you don't have demodex when, in fact, all adults do in their noses
and upper cheeks (where you got this specimen). I'm not saying it's the
whole problem and certainly doesn't explain everything you have going
on but if you won't even accept this one little point, it really doesn't
matter what I say about anything else, does it?

-
- Dear Dr Meffert,
-
- I am sorry that my last email regarding the demodex
mites upset you. I have no doubt that you are a fine Doctor. My information
is not based on my trying to prove I know more than professional medical
people. The information I stated was from Dr Rahim Karjoo who did the
pathology and took the photo of the claw-like skin sample. I have included
his resume at the bottom of the page. I am only taking his word as to
what he saw since he had the original tissue sample and not just a photo.
I am enclosing some other photos of what the crust-like residue on
my face looks like and another photo of the crystalline array complete
with the remainder of the same type of projection coming out of the
center of the material. I will be happy to discuss the demodex mite
theory with Dr Karjoo to see if it is something he didn't consider.
-
- I like to think of myself as open-minded and would never
discount anything I am told due to a preconceived opinion. I am living
in a nightmare of a life based on preconceived opinions and I would never
repeat that mistake. I do appreciate that you have been kind enough
to take the time to respond . ...

- Dr Jeffrey Meffert's Final Reply....
-
- Your email did not upset me. I'm quite used to it. It's
frustrating that I get all these pleas to have an open mind (I'm married
to an acupuncturist...I have an open mind) but if I try to unmuddy the
very muddy waters with some hard facts about what is making "morgonites"
miserable, it gets shot down. I've gone through this with Wymore, Letao,
and any number of suffering individuals such as yourself. It seems that
for those of us who wish to help while keeping a foot firmly planted in
verifiable science, that we are supposed to accept part and parcel of
everything we are told and not offer any dissenting opinions (or facts).
- One of the other pictures you sent shows what one gets
when you scrape a flake off one's nose with demodex stuck to it although
the more impressive manuver is to do the drop of superglue as I said
and examine the underside. If you look quickly, they will still be alive.
Do it first thing in the morning before you wash your face. As it is their
tails which will be stuck to the glue, you should be able to find plenty
of claws. I'm sure Dr. Karjoo is a nice guy but I won't be sending him
any path specimens. On the other hand, to him demodex look like this:

-
-
- Addendum
-
- More on Maffert's 'demodex mite' explanation...
-
- Hi Jeff,
-
- There is a vague similarity to the demodex mites pushed
by Dr. Maffert but the placement of the "claws" on that piece
of material was NOT bilateral symmetry as are the legs of an actual demodex
mite.
-
- The crusts I have are transparent between the nano formations
. The demodex mite also has two distinct joints on the legs before the
claw formation. My sample was sent to Dr Staninger and Dr Karjoo...which
took 3 weeks by mail to get to them. When I mailed the sample from the
east coast, NONE of these 'claw' or other formations had developed or
were visible. My sample had only protrusions like this...
-
-
-
-
- Nano Array note comparison to tissue in preceding
photo.
-
-
- All of development happened IN TRANSIT. I do not believe
that the mites can live out the human body in cool temperatures. This
particular piece of tissue was fairly large and the remainder of the
piece is shown in the other photos on this page http://www.rense.com/ general74/morg6-5.htm
The claws were just one of many forms on this piece of tissue.
-
- If I had mites, I would imagine the itching would be
unbearable. I had no itching. The demodex mites live in the hair follicles.
-
- Believe me, the hairs that I am pulling out of my body
are mutated and have been proven to have silicon and polymers (and goo)
taking up all of the space in the hair follicle itself. I don't think
a demodex mite would fare very well in my seeping goo-filled hair follicles
since their diet consists of dead skin cells.
-
- The inset photo of the claw on the nanotechnology paper
had a distinguishing mark of a dark spot above the claw formation. Both
of my specimens had the matching dark spot. The dark spot is explained
in the Advanced Technology paper as an agglomeration of silicon crystals
which forms the claw-like structure. In that small inset photo I used
with my photos you will notice this dark spot marked with Si marking
that spot. I don't believe that the legs of a mite would have such a
dark spot.
-
- With all of the "goo" I have in my pores, it
would make a poor place for mites to live. All I can say is that both
Dr. Staninger and Dr. Karjoo did the pathology in his lab with his specialty
microscope that immerses the sample in oil for a 3D image. After 40 YEARS
of pathology, I should think Karjoo knows a mite when he sees one.
-
- Once again Dr Meffert is allowing his prior knowledge
to influence what he sees by making an assumption. That was my entire
argument with him.. He is arrogantly making his determinations without
ever allowing himself to study the actual structures and materials or
do any research. He is the old dog who doesn't want to learn a new trick.
His is apparently not able to get past his preconceived notions since
if he did that he would find that he has made mistakes.
