Now your headed it the right direction. Real Science

I took the liberty of copying and pasting your post.  I think it is important enough to highlight some of your professor friend's statements.  I put my comments in pararinthesis and underlined them

Finally got in touch with old college professor. He is no longer in the scientific research field...an unfortunate loss. Also had to stop the Conspiracy thing...son is with the U.S. Intelligence Agency now and reports regularily to Pres. Obama. Nothing like having to bite my tongue for help, but this guy comes severely connected to the Science field. So here's what he had to say about the Morgellons delema. Said the only thing that can produce fibers that would be in various colors is FUNGUS!!!!! (I agree. some bacteria are capable of producing fibers, don't know about colors though)   Not to say there aren't underlying bacteria involved or something parasitic. (There is no doubt something most would discribe as "parasitic". A parasitic worm that isn't a helminth or a known pathogen in humans or other mammals.  Fungus and bacteria are also present and involved.  fungihomeworlds KOH test are proof of that).  He told me Kaiser Permente was useless to determine anything about this disease. He said the only research they would take part in would be to find numbers infected and investigate the costs of medical expenses involved (how ironic they would be the first involved).   (Kaiser Pernente's involvement is about as suspicies as it gets)  He said the Military Institute of Pathologist is exceptional in disease research and should have been able to find the cause and cure fairly quickly.   (I got the same story from the pathologist I talked to)  Basically, he told me something is bad wrong that nothing is being done regarding the CDC.  (Send him the pdf that talks about the "Stakeholder")  He also said it is not logical for a physician to diagnose delusional or any other mental condition for someone who has chronic lesions that don't heal. He said lesions are connected to things like diabetes, cancers, and more serious illnesses especially when they don't heal over long lengths of time. That it is a sign of serious infection and he is baffled that we are not getting anyone to issue further and more in-depth testing. In other words....again....something is not right about this situation. (I still can't figure this one out I agree with your friend it is baffleing)  He suggested bringing in a microscope or magnifier with you on the appointment to force the physicians to look at your skin.  (not a good Idea.  instead use a microscope to take pictures and ask him to look at the pictures)  Reason for this...he said 99.9% of medical doctors don't even probably have a microscope in their office.  (most send to a pathology lab.  a few have one for quick blood counts)  He said the delusional diagnoses is saying, "Your doctor doesn't believe you!"  (No kidding!!)  He advised me to look into a faculty member at a University for further assistance in testing skin, soil, water, etc.   He said no private lab will do anything without huge funds for research, but a University may take it on out of curiosity. He said they also, if from a prominent school may also give us the reinforcement we need to pursue things legally to change the way the disease is viewed.  (I'm looking for some of these guys)  Another suggestion was to form a National organization which would allow us more media coverage contacts and allow us personal meeting with governmental officials. In other words, we would be taken more seriously rather than a single individual just whining...(there are several of these out there already  Morgellons.org and the Charles E. Holman Foundation are a couple They haven't done much except get the CDC to investagate (Kaiser Permente) and fight with each other)  which is what he said we are probably all being viewed as when we call the local health agencies and CDC as of now. He said grouping would pay off over time. Those intested in participating in the formation of a National organization please email me.
