Morgellons Stages Clues
from More Morgellons · host Crystal Clear
A guy walks into a hardware store with vinegar, borax, copper mesh, a propane torch, and tweezers. If you have Morgellons, you know exactly what he’s building — and exactly why he can’t tell the kid in the orange vest. This episode opens with that scene, then goes somewhere most coverage of Morgellons disease refuses to go: the staged, recognizable progression of what people think they have before they arrive at Morgellons. Scabies. Worms. Springtails. Collembola. Lyme. Nanobots. Smart dust. The Oklahoma study at 2 AM on PubMed.Crystal Clear lays out why that sequence itself is data — not delusion. Diseases have stages of symptoms. Morgellons has stages of misidentification, marched through in roughly the same order by thousands of strangers across continents who’ve never spoken. That pattern requires an explanation. “Mass delusion” isn’t one.Plus two records updates worth your attention: • A new Oklahoma Open Records Act request submitted to the State Department of Health regarding the 2000 Collembola study (Altschuler, Crutcher, et al.) — the one with the manipulated photographs. • An IRS 4506-A request for the Morgellons Research Foundation’s final 990 filings (2009, 2010, 2011) came back denied with three stacked, internally inconsistent reasons — while the Pennsylvania Department of State has a complete eight-year paper trail for the same organization, including the dissolution filing. Schedule N would document where the money went on the way out. Schedule N is what’s missing.You are not crazy. What you have is.Keywords / tags:Morgellons, Morgellons disease, Crystal Clear, More Morgellons podcast, Morgellons fibers, Morgellons stages, Morgellons symptoms, Collembola Oklahoma study, Morgellons Research Foundation, MRF 990, IRS 4506-A, Schedule N, nonprofit dissolution, Altschuler Crutcher, springtails Morgellons, Lyme Morgellons, nanobots smart dust, CDC Morgellons 2012, Mick West, contested illness, medical gaslighting, patient communities, investigative podcast
