maybe some of the things we get imported from overseas are tainted and cause this skin disease. If they don’t mind killing our cats and dogs what do they care if we get skin conditions.

It sounds like a new disease—the thread like moving substance living in these sores is bizarre

Although we differ politically, Joni Mitchell is a very talented person and I always enjoyed watching her perform.

I used to see her in the mid-1960’s when I was studying Electrical Engineering at Wayne State University in Detroit and she was married to Chuck (?) Mitchell who was also studying something (not EE) at WSU. Before her days of fame, I would see her at occasional free performances at the WSU Student Center.

Here it is, 45 years later and we’re both in our 60’s.

Morgellons in our food supply?

Now there's a scary thought...and nowadays, anything's possible.

I don’t know the cause, I only know the horror.

I'm so sorry for your suffering. I hope the CDC,or SOMEONE, finds a breakthrough soon.Prayers for you and your family.

Yes, we sufferers have done so much of our own research, look at this page:

Have you tried taking a daily sauna? That might sweat out any toxins that could be causing the disease. Plus the heat creates an artificial fever that would help kill any germs causing the disease.

Sounds like a great idea! I commented earlier about acupuncture/chiro, and I forgot to mention I'm also taking Chinese herbs. The one herb is almost completely taking the place of a chemical drug I take for Graves Disease. (My standard doc can't believe it.) The other herbs I'm taking are Kidney DTX and Liver DTX. I also am receiving a "cupping" treatment for detoxing the body. Detoxing is where it's at. That's why we all have dis-ease at one time or another.

Dylan doesn’t love Stalin. He wouldn’t even admit if he thought the Vietnam war was wrong or not. He never showed up to any “peace protests”. Dylan had many fans that no doubt were commie scum, but he refused to be used by them, and they and the media were too stupid to realize that.
You are right about Seeger and the Boss.

She was the archetypal hippie love goddess to many in my age group in the 60’s.

Not as politically vocal as some back in the day..her pro-peace and environmental stances don’t diminish her musical talents...I always thought of her as a hugely underrated/appreciated musician...Guitar Player magazine rated her in the top twenty all time for her use of unorthodox tunings....

Due to her smoking ( which she still does )her voice changed so she couldn’t hold the high notes any longer..but her mellower tone was well suited to Jazz...

And to think she believed her musical ability was just a means to support her art career!

A multi-talented woman...regardless of her politics.

I recommend the DVD of her life and music..” A Woman of Heart and Mind “...great stuff.

Also I believe there was a Fatwah issued against Joni, because she was photographed wearing an Israeli military uniform.

Joni has more class than Mick Jaggar, Richard Nixon and Gomer Pyle combined

“Pro-Abortion”?
Maybe so..but as a poor, young twenty-something she chose to have her baby and give it up for adoption...they were just re-united a couple of years back....quite a story.....

Wasn’t that a line blurted out by someone in the audience on her live “Miles of Aisles” LP?

“the archetypal hippie love goddess

No kiddin’! My older brother and card carrying SDS member absolutely ADORED her. That’s actually how I got hip to her via his record collection. He got me “Blue” as a Christmas gift and a guitar song book of the album. The tunings were indeed peculiar, and I never did get the hang of most of them!
I appreciated her songs more than her “art”, btw.
