The following is in response to a friend's recent email.  
It has been excerpted below along with response:

Question:  What do you know of morgellons parasite therapy. I picked up an insect infestation on a trip to Tulsa brought it home gave it to my family and know we have fibers coming out of our skin. I thought Lyme was bad this is worse... Any ideas would be appreciated. 

Answer:  This is from private citizen researchers with scientific backgrounds - and Morgellons. The Morgellons, or "fibers", parasite infection appears to have as at least one component a strain of oomycetes. This is a protist that looks deceptively like a fungus or mold. The result of sampling under a scope shows many hollow, cellulose, fluorescent fibers of unexplained origin. There are residues of some protein material in the center of these hollow fibers. It appears the "biofiber" is hollow, sometimes fluorescent due to the use of cells from luciferase and Green fluorescent protein. 

Engineered pesticides are a positive source of oomycetes. The mosquito larvacide lagenidium giganteum was engineered and sprayed extensively especially in Texas, Florida and California. For the first time ever dogs in these areas got very ill with a new disease. It was the oomycetes pathogen lagenidium giganteum (brand name Laginex). There may be more than one microorganism involved, one researcher reported seeing spirochetes emerge from striated strands, resembling Borrelia, but larger.

It is stubborn, and I agree can be more so than Lyme, as the oomycetes is close to the fungus/mold family. Topical treatment doesn't work much because it is systemic in nature.

However, good news!  The salt/C protocol is effective toward it (see Angela's post at the bottom of this note). It is lethal to the parasites. The protocol is followed exactly as per the "Scale-Up" method in the Links section of the Lyme Strategies board.

Additionally, an adjunct regimen that seems to help 'shorten the runway' and alleviate pain/lesions, is the following:

1. Myco-xan. Holistic blend of Mangosteen, cats claw, Lipoic acid and olive leaf extract. The Mangosteen goes intracellular. Dose per directions.

2. Water Oz extra-strength ionic copper water, up to 1 tbsp/day (natural oomycetes/parasites remedy and can address the peripheral insect infestation that can accompany oomycetes).

3. Good Cellulase enzyme (Candex or Yeast Away), as all fungus/molds and some parasites have cellulose as part of their cell walls and this enzyme degrades the walls to where the microorganism dies and body scavenges it naturally. http://www.stayleaner.com/pureessencelabs.html 

4. Oregano Oil (OregaMax wild-crafted)

Optional, but good: 
5. Pomegranate Extract (w/ Ellagic Acid - anti-parasite)

6. Rain Forest A-P (anti-microbial/anti-parasite)

Onward & upward!

"Hey, People with Morgellons seem to all have one thing in common.. Most of them test positive for lyme disease... Doctor Harvey talked to me a lot about the weird sores that would just never heal.. and about the strange things that I had on my stomach that looked like hairs, but were not... they would move... He told me that I had Morgellons... He said there was really no cure... The good news is... They went away completely around my third month of salt c... Doc H. was so interested by them he had a little hand held microscope and would just watch them.. Well, the ones on this weird sore on the inside of my knee... It is now a dark cavern like place... So, what ever Morgelons are.... Salt C.. seems to give them their walking papers.. so to speak.. 
Take care, Angela"
