Skin Wars with Richard L Kuhns B.S.Ch.E., and co-host, Robin O'Herron Skin Parasite Q&A: Diet Protocols, Environmental Cleaning, and Stress Support Introducing the Skin Parasite Wars Community In this episode of Morgellons Skin Parasite Wars, host Robin opens the weekly think tank call by welcoming listeners who are dealing with Morgellons, springtails, Lyme disease, mites, itching, bites, lesions, and related skin-parasite concerns. She frames the show as a caring support community built around protocols based on Richard Kuhns’ book, How to Get Your Life Back from Morgellons, Lyme and Other Skin Parasites. Richard begins by giving regulatory disclaimers, emphasizing that participants should consult their medical doctors before starting his diet or recommendations, and clarifying that the group is offering education rather than medical diagnosis or treatment. Richard Kuhns’ Background and the Role of Diet Richard explains how his own experience began after pulling a vine from a tree and developing intense itching that did not resolve through early medical attempts. He describes spending years trying to identify what organisms might be involved, including mites, springtails, Strongyloides, fungal issues, and Morgellons-like symptoms. A major part of his account is the discovery that food seemed connected to itching, biting, lesions, and symptom flare-ups. He describes developing what he calls the “Kuhns diet,” saying it took about two years to refine and that different organisms or symptom patterns may require slightly different diet adjustments. Identifying Possible Organisms and Symptoms The episode includes a detailed explanation of how Richard uses a questionnaire to educate callers about which organisms they may be dealing with, while emphasizing that this is not a formal diagnosis. He discusses Morgellons in terms of abnormal filaments or fibers from the skin, springtails or Collembola in relation to itching and biting that may begin around the ankles or lower legs, skin fungus in connection with burning and redness, and Strongyloides as a parasite that can be checked through a blood test. He also mentions complications such as Lyme disease, rashes, coughing, digestive issues, biofilm, and other co-infections that callers may be trying to understand. Environmental Cleaning and Product Questions Much of the call is devoted to practical questions from listeners about cleaning, spraying, and household management. Robin discusses using Garden Safe Fungicide 3 or similar products containing neem oil and labeled as fungicide, miticide, and insecticide, especially for springtail-related concerns. She describes using it in spray bottles, on furniture, rooms, floors, clothing, and sometimes in combination with enzyme cleaner, while also explaining how she rinses an electrostatic sprayer with hot soapy water and clear hot water afterward to prevent clogs. Callers also ask about ammonia dilution, diatomaceous earth, cedar oil alternatives, Bayer insecticide, ozone, DEET, and treating clothing during tick season. Callers Discuss Progress, Hair, Diet, and Supplements Several callers share progress updates and ask about specific challenges. One caller reports removing carpet and installing solid flooring to make cleaning easier, while another discusses possible sensitivity to capsules, rice, toothpaste, medications, and other small details that may affect how the diet works for them. A caller from Arizona describes suspected mites, Collembola, possible scabies, bird exposure, hair infestation concerns, and the difficulty of cutting long hair to make scalp treatment more effective. The group also discusses products such as Nature’s Gift, Claudia’s Dream Cream, herbal parasite products, amino acids, enzymes for biofilm, and ordering supplements from related websites. Stress Management and Deep Breathing The episode closes with a stress-management exercise focused on deep breathing and affirmations. Robin explains that deep breathing can calm the nervous system, reduce stress, support immune function, and improve mental clarity. She guides listeners through box breathing, encouraging them to breathe in hope, expectancy, joy, strength, clarity, happiness, and new beginnings, while breathing out anxiety, fear, discouragement, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by parasites. The closing exercise shifts the tone from symptom management to emotional resilience, giving listeners a moment of calm and encouragement after a long technical Q&A.
