according to this he believes that the fundamental MORGELLONS organism thrives on eating iron. It knocks iron out of ionic solution in the blood and consumes it

he suggest using iron chelators to treat MORGELLONS, such as lactoferrin

In summary, I now see five major challenges before us with the "Morgellons" issue based upon the research that I have conducted to date:

1. The iron within the blood, to a partial degree, is being changed in a way that it no longer binds with oxygen at the normal levels that are expected. This same iron is being used by the organism to sustain its own existence and growth. Diminished oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is therefore expected to occur in coincidence with the severity of the condition.

2. The presence of free radicals are likely to increase in number and extent as a result of the oxidation process mentioned immediately above. Free radicals are known to "wreak havoc in the living system", as has been mentioned earlier.

3. The altered iron (Fe3+ vs Fe2+) now binds to other molecules, many of them toxic or harmful to health, instead of oxygen as is expected. Several of these alternative ligands are known respiratory inhibitors, and therefore further exacerbate the failures in respiration.

4. The bacteria-like form, which appears to be at the origin of the pathogen, itself binds to oxygen to support its own existence. This is in addition to the consumption of iron already identified. This combination further increases the severity of consequence to human health.

5. The presence of the organism, as encountered, appears to be extensive within the body. It appears to occur within the circulatory, digestive and urinary systems as a minimum.

A few, and only a few, suggestions have been given about how these problems can be approached. These strategies are by no means intended to encompass all needs before us. The will hopefully, however, provide a stepping stone to the further research that exists before us. These problems will never be solved with ignorance or apathy. I encourage you to participate in the process of resolution and accountability, and to support those who act on that same behalf.

Sincerely,
