Skin Wars with Richard L Kuhns B.S.Ch.E., and co-host, Robin O'Herron Comprehensive Strategies for Invisible Skin Parasites and Lyme Disease On this episode of Skin Wars featuring Richard Kunes, focuses on holistic recovery protocols for skin parasites. The discussion outlines a rigorous multi-pronged approach involving dietary discipline, environmental cleaning, and skin debriding. Defining Morgellons and its Co-factors Morgellons is primarily identified by the presence of filaments or fibers emerging from the skin, which may be microscopic, multi-colored, or fluorescent. Participants noted that these fibers sometimes exhibit movement, leading to the hypothesis that they serve as protective environments for microscopic parasites. While often associated with Lyme disease, the experts suggest that Lyme is frequently a co-factor rather than the primary cause, with other organisms like springtails (Collembola), mites, and fungal pathogens playing more significant roles in the "plethora" of symptoms experienced by patients. The "King Diet" as the Foundation The "King Diet" is described as the most critical element of the recovery program; without it, other interventions are unlikely to succeed. This diet is significantly more restrictive than standard Paleo or Mediterranean diets, excluding items like carrots, peas, asparagus, and even certain breath mints or salts containing sugar. The goal is to eliminate the internal biological support for the parasites, which can react aggressively to even minor dietary slips, such as the consumption of ice cream or non-compliant stevia. Skin Debriding and Environmental Hygiene External management involves "debriding" the skin using specialized soaps—such as Nature's Gift, charcoal, or silver soaps—to physically remove fibers and organisms. Simultaneously, the environment must be aggressively managed. This includes using ammonia or hypochlorous acid for disinfecting living spaces and vehicles, and employing specific laundry protocols to prevent re-infestation. Participants emphasized that because these organisms are molecular and highly contagious, even sitting in a chair can leave behind infectious material for the next person. Addressing Specific Sensitivities and Myths The call addressed sensitive issues, including infestations in private areas and the scalp. For sensitive skin, the experts recommend diluted Nature's Gift or specific gels rather than harsh vinegars. They also debunked the efficacy of standard cleaners like Windex, advocating for stronger, targeted disinfectants. A recurring theme was the lack of recognition from traditional medical practitioners, who often misdiagnose these conditions as "delusional parasitosis" due to a lack of training in molecular parasites. Recovery from Morgellons and skin parasites requires an uncompromising commitment to a "structured" lifestyle. Success is found in the synergy of the King Diet, aggressive environmental hygiene, and consistent skin debriding. As emphasized by the coaches, "nothing will work if you don't get the diet to work" and maintain a clean environment simultaneously.
