Skin Wars with Richard L Kuhns B.S.Ch.E., and co-host, Robin O'Herron Recovery, Identification and Diagnosis of Morgellons and Internal Management This podcast session, hosted by Richard Kuhns and Robin, explores holistic and environmental protocols for individuals struggling with Morgellons disease and skin parasite infestations. The discussion emphasizes the critical role of a specific "Stage 1" diet, the identification of environmental vectors like Collembola, and practical household disinfection techniques. The experts provide a "think-tank" environment to address complex cases, including those with medical complications like feeding tubes. Identification and Diagnosis of Morgellons Morgellons is often misunderstood by the medical community, frequently misdiagnosed as "psychotic parasitosis." A primary symptom is the presence of fibers that the organisms use to create "houses" within the skin. A reliable home-diagnostic method involves taking a debriding bath (using apple cider vinegar, Epsom salts, and specialized soaps), allowing the skin to dry, and then using a lint roller. If Morgellons is present, tiny hair-like threads will typically appear on the roller. These organisms are often carried by vectors such as fleas, ticks, mites, and bed bugs. The Dietary Protocol and Internal Management The "Stage 1" diet is the cornerstone of recovery, designed to quiet parasite activity by removing specific triggers. Success requires extreme strictness; for example, hidden sugars in health-store Stevia can prevent the diet from working. Richard Kuhns highlights that certain medications like Orap (Pimozide), Abilify, and Wellbutrin—often classified as antipsychotics—actually work by reducing dopamine uptake in the brain, which helps manage symptoms. A natural alternative, the "Herbal Parasite Stop Formula," has been developed to achieve similar neurological effects without pharmaceutical side effects. Environmental Vectors: Collembola and Water Systems Collembola (springtails) are significant environmental cofactors that often infest homes alongside Morgellons. They are moisture-seeking organisms roughly 300 microns in size (the size of a dust particle) and can jump using a spring-like tail. Listeners reported potential infestations in whole-house water filtration systems, specifically in brine tanks and carbon filters. While black specks in water might be carbon breakdown, Collembola can survive in saltwater and may require fine-micron filtration (below 300 microns) to be removed from the water supply. Advanced Cleaning and Household Maintenance Maintaining a parasite-free environment involves rigorous laundry and surface protocols. Ammonia is a primary disinfectant for laundry and ductwork, though it can cause fabric shredding over time. Alternatives include Borax, Cedarcide PCO, and specialized laundry additives. For furniture, the use of an electrostatic sprayer is recommended to reach deep into tufts and crevices where organisms hide. When traveling, using a blacklight to inspect hotel beds and keeping luggage in Ziploc bags with menthol crystals can prevent re-infestation. Managing Morgellons and associated skin parasites requires a dual-track approach: internal biological control through a strict Stage 1 diet and external environmental eradication through targeted cleaning. While the journey is challenging and often ignored by mainstream medicine, the "Skin Wars" community emphasizes that recovery is possible through persistence, proper identification of cofactors, and a supportive network
