Skin Wars, May 30, 2026

Skin Wars with Richard L Kuhns B.S.Ch.E., and co-host, Robin O'Herron Morgellons, Skin Parasites, Diet Protocols, and the Skin Wars Think Tank Richard Kuhns and Robin O’Herron Welcome Listeners to Skin Wars In this episode of Skin Wars, also framed during the program as the Morgellons Think Tank, host Richard Kuhns and co-host Robin O’Herron welcome listeners who are struggling with itching, biting sensations, skin irritation, and what they describe as unknown tiny critters or parasites. The episode is presented as a support-focused “think tank” for people seeking practical tools, community, and hope. The program begins with required disclaimers read by coach Sharon, explaining that listeners should consult their medical doctors before beginning Richard’s diet or following recommendations, and that the program does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Disclaimers, Personal Experience, and the King Diet Sharon shares her personal experience, saying she was once diagnosed with delusional parasitosis by doctors but later found help through Richard’s program. She describes the group as a family that educates people about diet, disinfecting the home, deep-cleaning the skin through bathing or showering protocols, and using supplements that are compatible with the diet. She emphasizes that if one method does not work, listeners should not give up, but should continue examining diet, environment, bathing routines, skin cleaning, and supplements. Robin O’Herron on Symptoms and Possible Co-Factors Robin then discusses what she identifies as possible signs of Morgellons and related co-factors, including fibers or filaments, itching, biting sensations, lesions, burning skin, unusual material emerging from the skin, biofilm, mites, springtails or columbola, and fungal issues. She recommends a lint-roller test after bathing and using Nature’s Gift to check for small hairs or fibers on the skin. Robin explains that she believes biofilm and skin fungus can play a role in helping organisms survive and says that improvement may come through diet, skin cleaning, and careful attention to co-factors. Richard Kuhns on Facebook, Conflicting Advice, and the Need for Hope Richard criticizes the despair he sees in online Morgellons and skin-parasite groups, where people often post frightening images, conflicting theories, or single-supplement “solutions.” He argues that documentaries and social media groups can leave people feeling hopeless, while his program aims to offer a structured path forward. He discusses theories involving Lyme disease, spirochetes, Candida, worms, fungal organisms, nanobots, cloud seeding, and chemtrails, but emphasizes that his priority is not proving the origin of Morgellons. Instead, he focuses on what he says helps people reduce symptoms and regain quality of life. Diet, Co-Factors, and Individual Investigation The central teaching is Richard’s view that diet is the most important tool for managing symptoms. He explains that the diet has different stages, with stage one being the strictest, and that people may need to investigate details such as grains, carbohydrates, rice, millet, spelt, supplements, medications, capsules, fillers, and even how foods are heated. Richard repeatedly says the diet must be personalized because what works for one person may not work for another. He also cautions that people should review ingredients carefully, including salts, walnuts, bacon, deli meats, preservatives, and hidden additives. Listener Q&A: Medication, Fungus, Bites, and Skin Care During the Q&A, listeners ask about sleep medication, toenail fungus, bites on the back, biofilm, mites, columbola, and skin reactions. Richard and Robin suggest possible approaches such as checking medication fillers, discussing alternatives with a doctor, soaking feet with vinegar and Nature’s Gift, considering hydrogen peroxide for toenail fungus based on one listener’s report, and using lotions or sulfur products for skin irritation. They also remind participants that bites on the back could involve mites or columbola, and that enzymes may help some people with environmental issues. Stage Two Diet Challenges and Environmental Cleaning Several participants discuss the difficulty of moving into stage two of the diet. One caller explains that she accidentally ate walnuts containing rosemary and later experienced rashes, prompting discussion about delayed reactions, spring weather, mites, columbola, and environmental reinfestation. Another participant shares a warning that keeping bleach in a refrigerator may damage newer refrigerator coils because fumes can circulate through the system. The group discusses possible alternatives, including diatomaceous earth mixed with water, wiping surfaces gently, and avoiding corrosive fumes around appliances. Household Protocols, Ride Sharing, and Sprays Listeners also ask practical questions about disinfecting cars, using rideshare services, and treating indoor environments. Richard suggests that a light spray of Nature’s Gift on a rideshare seat could be framed as cleaning rather than as something inappropriate. Participants also discuss electrostatic sprayers, clean-up enzymes, fungicide products, ammonia, ductwork, and glue boards for identifying jumping insects or organisms. Richard emphasizes that different environmental approaches may be needed depending on whether someone is dealing with mites, columbola, or other organisms. Supplements, Parasite Stop, and Ongoing Experimentation Later questions address fulvic acid, tick-recovery herbal products, Parasite Stop, berberine, blood sugar, collagen for weight maintenance, and ways to avoid excessive weight loss on the diet. Richard says he is unfamiliar with some products and often redirects people toward protocols he has seen work within the group. He also explains that the think tank continues because new information keeps emerging, causing the book and program to evolve over time. He says the group has learned from participants’ experiences with weight loss, rice bran oil, salads, carbohydrates, Morgellons, columbola, and chronic Lyme-related issues. A Community Built Around Shared Learning The episode closes with Richard, Robin, and Sharon thanking participants and emphasizing that the call covered a great deal of information. Richard describes the group as an open community and a continuing think tank where people share what they are learning so others can benefit. The overall message is that those dealing with Morgellons or related skin-parasite experiences should consult medical professionals, avoid despair, be careful with ingredients and environmental exposures, and use community knowledge to keep refining what works for their individual situation.
