Morgellons and GMO – the Link

There is relatively little information regarding research correlating Morgellons with GMO foods. This is suspicious right off the bat, because it would seem that there would be a natural curiosity regarding a link between Genetically Modified Organisms that people ingest regularly and inorganic fibers that protrude from a person's skin. This would be right up a geneticist's alley, and quite worthy of intensive research. So, why aren't there a ton of published studies? Why did I have a tough time finding anything related to this? Could it be that companies such as Monsanto have enough clout to effectively squash these stories? If they have enough clout to ruin countries by deceiving impoverished farmers into purchasing patented GMO seeds, then end up forcing these poor people to purchase these seeds year after year instead of harvesting their own, then I am sure they have enough clout to ask our more than willing corporate government to manipulate the press...again.  

According to Mike Stagman, PhD, "Genetic Engineering is a nightmare technology that has already caused MANY disease epidemics -- documented but unpublicized" 

(http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/08/344305.shtml). 

Well Monsanto, you let at least one study slip through. With the help of a couple of search engines, I found an article by Whitley Strieber published on October 12, 2007, titled "Skin Disease May Be Linked to GM Food," which concludes that the fibers taken from a Morgellons sufferer contain the same substance that is "used commercially to produce genetically-modified plants." Here is the article: 

Skin Disease May Be Linked to GM Food

12-Oct-2007 Many people-and most physicians-have written off Morgellons disease as either a hoax or hypochondria. But now there is evidence that this mysterious disease may be REAL and related to GENETICALLY MODIFIED food!

The skin of Morgellons victims oozes mysterious strands that have been identified as cellulose (which cannot be manufactured by the human body), and people have the sensation of things crawling beneath their skin. The first known case of Morgellons occurred in 2001, when Mary Leitao created a web site describing the disease, which had infected her young son. She named it Morgellons after a 17th century medical study in France that described the same symptoms.
