Phase 1:   Recovery of Morgellons-Related Particles from Water Samples

Background

The descriptive information below is a phase I summary report presenting the findings of an investigative research study.  This work is supported through a grant from the Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF).  Phase I is the first of three phases proposed in this research project.  Phase I is a "look-see" initial study to determine what, if any, organisms, pathogens and/or materials in household water samples may be associated with Morgellons Disease.  Phase I is only a findings presentation and no conclusions as to association and/or cause of Morgellons Disease are drawn.  This initial phase lays the ground work for phases II and III as well as future research projects.

It is hoped that this information will encourage other researchers and scholars with knowledge in this field, to contribute to the present information base by becoming  involved in this and additional research studies related to Morgellons disease.                                                                                                       -MRF
