Morgellons Landmark Case Victory
We won a Landmark Case yesterday in Court, in the 5th Judicial Circuit Court, of the State of Florida. Dragonfly got her
I submitted a Letter from Ginny Waite Brown to the CDC, all Documentation, Deborah Auschullers Collembola study and even Joes research. THANK YOU JOE KELEHER, BECAUSE JOE DOESN’T WRITE SLOW, HE MAKES SENSE.
It took 4 years of work and the judge rendered the verdict in 8 minutes and 50 seconds. He said Morgellons three times. People have got to save every medical record and any information calling them delusional, take photographs and save them. The Judge just happened to be here on assignment from Tulsa and her file was 5 inches thick.
WE WON….WE WON.
Our Attorney knew more about this disease than any attorney and his brief was impeccable, sensible, no conspiracy theories. HE WAS A SAINT sent from God. After our win I stood in the parking lot and cried for a half an hour and just hugged the Attorney. It appears he asked to take the case because Dragonfly was a local personality and he had seen her during her well years on TV. His comment, when I asked him what he thought was, "The way these people have been treated is horrific and it is appalling."
We have a conference with a nationwide law firm next Tuesday and I will be able to ascertain how many other cases they can take on. Now that we have set a Florida precedence on a non existent (according to many Doctors) disease, we just trumped the CDC. We had photos, Raman graphs, disks documenting her progressive deterioration, the Body Bugs Films (thank you Patrick Fraser) and every lab and also doctors notes where she was called DOP. Dragonfly was exceptional, honest, and exhausted, a win for one, we hope will be a win for all.
Sincerely,
Trisha
Trish, you and people like Deborah, and Joe and so many others deserve so much credit. I am so proud of you, let me just say that you are no quitter, and I know you’ve been through living hell. If they’re ever going to pull the plug on me I want you in my corner.
My favorite comment in your post is this:
That really struck home, my heart breaks for those who are so bad off and who have lost everything, not just monetary, but family, marriages, and this is still going on large scale even to this day.
God bless you and DragonFly both. And for this attorney (who should probably rename nameless for now lest he be overwhelmed by calls) my hat is off to you sir, honestly.

I thought my easy day of subbing for the Jr. High Social Studies teacher would make my day…but this did it! The tides are shifting!
I couldn’t agree more with the need to document everything along the way (with photos, bills, etc…but especially words). This may be useful in many ways.
Trish, thanks for the compliment. I’m glad I was part of such a landmark case (if only in words). The foundation of the diagnosis of DOP has been permanently cracked!!!
Dragonfly…it’s time for you to soar! You deserved the help…as all do!!!!!!!

A small victory for mankind. Some sanity in a sea of “aggreement” for the wrong thing.
Can we please have some kind lawyers to take this to the next level?
Many people have lost everything..particularly their health, due to doctors denial and neglect..in direct contravention of the “do no harm” philosphy, and the hypocratic oath to help people… they are supposed to learn in medical school.
A lot of harm, loss of life and productivity has happened..for what.. when we said “the emperor has no clothes”..we were ridiculed. Thanks goodness some people in the country still have courage and honesty.
Thank you so much to them.

Very well said….I believe we need some kind pit bull lawyers for this task.I was thinking now should be the time or when the weather is warmer for us all afflicted with the skin lesions to wipe off our make up and cover ups,and to stand at the White house and have them witness the day of the living dead,maybe then we will get the medical attention we need.either way the job is getting done,bit by bit.

I am so glad that you won your case. I too was very lucky to have a positive decision made on my case. I was able to get benefits retroactive from 2005 when my ordeal began. On my claim it too lists Morgellons as well as depression as my disability. I know exactly how you felt when that judgment was made. I felt so victorious, because I knew that I was not delusional and that what I had was in fact very real. I did not get an attorney though. I do agree that its important to keep all of your medical files and always take photos. I had seen over 23 doctors and none gave me a diagnosis of delusional, but they werent able to give me the right treatment. I was lucky enough to come in contact with Dr. Hildy who has given me my life back and help me with treatment that I responded well too.

Dora, not sure if you remember me as “Grady” from LymeBusters but I remember when you went from so sick to symptom free and you coming on and telling everyone, it was then I did consult with Dr. Staninger and learned a ton of good stuff from her, I have often wondered how you were doing. Stick around if you can and help when you feel you can.
Mr. Common Sense

Doraisabel,
I am so glad you won your case. Would you share the details so that others can be helped.
Getting a lawfirm to represent all is in order at this time. The attorneys in this case charged nothing until the settlement.
This firm doesn’t want to do a Class Action but on a case by case basis.
There are many roads to the truth and one size does not fit all, although I am so glad you are well.
The raman spectograph in this case confirmed Cellulose.
Here are the diagnoses she recieved:
eczema, psoriasis, you are too pretty to have Morgellons, SARS, Community Aquired MRSA, staph from across the room, We have to cancel your appointment, heavy metal toxicity, Fungus, Body Bugs.
There are much cheaper ways to treat this disease on the records.
I think we need to work together rather than apart.
If you recieved SSI and Medicare from this that is wonderful, but why did no one share this with the Morgellons Community.
This woman who fought for her rights and did it for all, not just herself, I believe that we need a bit of altrusim in this.
Everyone who has been devistated by this disease should get compensation and help.

If I am not mistaken I believe I did share it on the lymebusters website. As well as with many of my close friends also afflicted with this disease who are also members of many morgellons communities. I stopped posting regularly on these websites because there is too much confusion and I do not want any part of it. I stand behind Dr. Hildy and have a lot of respect for her research but certain people on these websites spend too much time trying to smear her credadibility. I chose to back off because that was just not fair to her. She spend years working on identifying this. When I presented my case I included all her findings related to me that included analysis of specimens done through raman technology as well as a comprehensive toxicological analysis report and of course all of the records from all 23 other doctors. Most of their diagnoses were related to fungal or bacterial infections and the treatment was for such. I dont get medicare because I have insurance thru my husband. The only type of insurance most of the specialized doctors accepted was ppo. I have an HMO, so a lot of the costs were out of pocket. I saw doctors at most of the University Hospitals in my area and this is true for most of them. I do believe that we all need to work together so that everyone can be treated fairly. When you present this type of case one needs to be very careful in the manner in which it is presented and I know that documentation is very important. I keep a paper trail of every emergency room visit, every doctor visit, every lab test and all diagnostics. I dont ever tell them I have morgellons, I only tell them what my complaint is. When I went before the Judge I told her what I had and presented her with all this documentation and she came to her own conclusion.

Mr. Common sense and Trisha. Is it posible to make a link or area on your webs to permanantly post case nombers so others can copy the material needed when going to court. A member of my moms church has Morgellons for two years. He is pennieless with a checker pass and he just found out from me this past month what it is that he has been slowly going down hill with. Those whom have won court cases please help provide case nombers and date??? Thank you. I could use them to help the homeless AZ man. He has a motel room via the church helping him and the clothes on his back. That is all he has. He needs to be on disability. He has Morgellons with fibers and mites and bugs that fly out of his skin.

Dear Lynn,
Give me until Wednesday so that I can talk to the lawfirm we will know more on a plan of attack then.
They are a US lawfirm with offices all over the country.
Pull Joes info off, the Barbara Minton articles from the website, Deb Auschullers collembola study is very helpful also.
Pull anything you can off the list and help him pull his Medical Records together.
I will be in touch after speaking to my Lawfirm.
GET PHOTOS

Trisha, even if you could provide the court docket number(s) and such that others could call the court and pay to have the documents faxed or mailed to them. It’s all public information now. I think it would be very useful if you could provide that.
I’ve been very busy these past few days and watching the comments, have much to say, will post later, all is good.

Thank you very much Sister to Common.
I will talk to AZ man on Monday or Tuesday. I live in CA. So I am helping him through my mother in Az. I will go to the suggested site.
He is so greatful after two years of not knowing anything about what he had and no one believing him. And finally getting some info on enviromental products to use to cut down his bug numbers and heal his skin through all the bug attacks.
I am almost well from my Morgellons by using the 3 points plan from http://www.herbalhealer.com Plus a fallow up of other herbs afterwards. This AZ man wants to get well like me and so eventually I will get him on the 3 points plan and all that follows afterwards.

Dear Sister to Common Sense
I was not exspecting this info so quickly. You are so wonderful and this may help this fellow get disability. Also help members of the church whom are helping him with rent to understand why he is to sick to work. That gets their goat that he is not working because they do not believe he is that sick. The guy just found out 2 weeks ago a real name for his condition and someone to talk to about it. Poor guy.

Hi
Sorry to bother you again. Yesterday I found a page and at the bottom was a list of Drs. across the US that treat Morgellons. I thought I had saved the page, but can not find it. Want to post that part of it at Birdmites for newbys and on facebook for family and friends whom do not believe. I want them to see names of real Drs. whom do treat this dease so they know I am not crazy. Thank you.

Dear Lynn,
Give me a couple of days to catch my breath, I am going with Dragonfly to a Doctor for intractiable joint pain.
I do know that Dr Susan Kolb MD who works with Dr Barry Gould MD in Atlanta treats this.
Dr Barry Maron MD and Orthopaedic Surgeon in New Mexico treats this.
I am also looking for MDs and Naturopaths, darkfield Doctors to treat these patients.
There is a wonderful Doctor in Texas Dr Marley who we are working with who will do telephone consults.
Sincerely,
Trisha
We are looking for Doctors who do not use conventional drugs in the treatment of this disease.

Hi Grady, yes of course I wil try to stick around,Just for the record this is a long hill battle and with the right treatment you will find relief. This is such a complicated ailment and in my case it has taken years for me to peel what feels like layers off of my body. The key thing for me was to detox and what has worked for me is the far infrared the heat that it emits makes it possible for me to sweat those layers much quicker, I also try to eat as natural as possible and I stay away from any plastics that are added to our food. I use all of Dr. Hildy’s products such as her baci mi line.

Are there any lawfirms working on a class-action lawsuit concerning Morgellons disease? If so, who are they? If not, is anyone interested in forming a class?
chris hansen
February 26, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Chris,
I have an appointment with the Legal Eagles next week, I am still awaiting some important papers from them.
The Lawfirm is Crowe and Parody in Mass.
We do not want to do a class action and want to work on a case by case basis.They do not charge money up front and only if you win.
Class actions only win monies for the firm, taking it case by case the individuals and families is the best way to go.
Be patient they are woring on a plan for Morg patients and have offices all over the US.
So, do not contact them ntil I get the decision and the breif and photos.
Keep good records and photos on your disease, without this you could get turned down.
I can not express enough to be your own advocate and keep all documentation and paper work on your illness.
This is what helped us won the lawsuit.
Iam going to bed to collapse now and will email any new news it the next few weeks.

Chris and Sister to Common Sense – I was wondering about the class action thing as well. What Sister said is usually correct, a lot of times class action suits win a lot of money for the firm and very small payout for individual members of the class. However, they can be important in setting precedent for future rulings, and in attracting large scale media attention. So I think it could be beneficial if a class action suit was brought at some point, in the sense of helping the ‘greater good’.
Sister, is this law firm you’re working with only filing cases for SSI disability claims? I’m interested more in suing the CDC/Dept of HHS… I’m glad for those who are getting disability for Morgellons, however, I personally am not eligible because I’m 22 and about to graduate from college, and have not yet held a full time job.
Hope things are continuing to move forward!

Hi all
I am trying to help a homeless man. He is in AZ. I am in central CA. Some of the church members at my moms church do not think he is sick. They think he is crazy. A few of those men no longer want to pay for his motel room. He will be out on the streets soon if I don’t find a way to change their minds. I sent links to researchers, Drs., and Nurses, and labs. I have collected posts from others on this subject that I request that people e-mail me about their position in life and ask the church to keep helping Doug.
I put down. Hi my name is Lynn. I am a 50 year old disabled women. I have had Morgellons less than a year. I believe Doug is sick with Morgellons and needs your help. I gave my Dr. bug samples and he thought I had Scabbies. After 2 treatments he stoped helping me. I had to find out for myself what was wroung. I am almost cured of this dease Morgellons and I have people sending products to Doug to try and help him, but can not help him if he lives in the streets.
I have 3 others statments sent me like this to forward to the preacher at my moms church. Could anyone add to my list so to show these unbelieving men that we are real people of different ages and differnt areas and in different positions in life.

I am sorry I haven’t been blogging much. We are still waiting on Dragonflys final paper work and things are not moving quickly enough lately. It is is Gods time and I am realizing this more every day.
Google the Lawfirm Crowe and Parodis in MASS. When you call have all your information in front of you anything, photos, records ect. Ask for Yelinda in the Mass office.
Keep it simple and let her ask the questions, she can tell you what they will need from you.
I think they have been slammed and I am still awaiting a conference call from our Attorneys, but I know they are very concerned about this, it is SSDI that is slowing us up with the final paper work.
I just recommend getting in the system as soon as you can.
