The Charles E. Holman Foundation sponsors the annual Morgellons Disease conference. The inside scoop is that they will be video recording all sessions and making them available online. I'm looking forward to a few things -
(1) Middleveen (veterinary microbiologist) has been making huge strides in looking at related infections in non-human animal populations. I'd like to see if she's made any progress in identifying genetic interactions in infected bovine.
(2) McElroy (NP with practice in Morgellons Disease treatment) will present a systematic approach to disease progression and continue building on a results-based treatment approach incorporating the most recent discoveries.
(3) Kilbane (psychiatrist at Stanford University) is essentially bringing his baller status as a physician to helping Morgellons Disease awareness. This is from his conference bio: "His specific interests include the psychiatric issues in cancer care, working with patients and families dealing with end of life issues, psychiatric manifestations in neurological disease, and understanding how individuals and groups understand illness and access health care. Dr. Kilbane’s background in psychosomatic disorders will help to dispel the myth that Morgellons disease is a delusional disorder. Dr. Kilbane is eager to help bring this condition to light in the medical community allowing for Morgellons patients to be treated with respect and dignity while scientific research is being done to better understand the pathophysiology."
Stay tuned, I'll be sure to post future video.
From the Conference Website:
The 2-day conference will cover key topics and latest findings in research, laboratory and clinical aspects of Morgellons Disease. Our ultimate goal is to provide physicians and other medical practitioners with insight into recent developments in the understanding of Morgellons disease as well as bring researchers, medical professionals and patients together to exchange information, ideas, scientific data, and to develop networks for medical management and continued learning.

Objectiv:
The Charles E. Holman Foundation is pleased to announce the 8th Annual Medical - Scientific Conference on Morgellons Disease March 28th and 29th, 2015The 2-day conference will cover key topics and latest findings in research, laboratory and clinical aspects of Morgellons Disease. Our ultimate goal is to provide physicians and other medical practitioners with insight into recent developments in the understanding of Morgellons disease as well as bring researchers, medical professionals and patients together to exchange information, ideas, scientific data, and to develop networks for medical management and continued learning.
Conference Goals:
- To provide a historical perspective on scientific progress in Morgellons disease;
- To review the current state and options for medical management;
- To present case studies and provide opportunities for discussion;
- To explore current thinking on the pathophysiological mechanisms behind chronic diseases that may be relevant to Morgellons disease;
- To explore less recognized manifestations of Morgellons disease (MD);
- To enhance knowledge-sharing between researchers and front-line practitioners of care for MD patients.
