		<title>Research for Unknown Skin Disease - Skin Lesions a...</title>
		<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/skinlesionsandfibers/</link>
		<description>This site is for the sufferers of an unknown skin disease that may manifest itself as non-healing skin lesions; lesions with fibers; black specks; lesions due to resistant bacterial infection; biting, itching and crawling sensations; track marks on skin; &amp;quot;fiber balls&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;glitter&amp;quot; emerging from lesions; on face, scalp and/or body.

Skin symptoms are commonly accompanied by symptoms unrelated to skin, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia (ME), joint pain, and significant problems with concentration and memory (brain fog).    Candida, and other fungal infections, are common among these suffers.

Several independent foundations, or organizations are currently researching this disease.  Some theories currently, and previously researched / discussed are:   infestation of the skin by Collembola (springtails), co-infections of certain auto-immune diseases (i.e., Lyme Disease), severe gram-negative bacteria infection (Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia), co-infections of systemic fungal infections, nematode infestations and unknown drug resistant pathogens.

No one knows what&amp;#39;s causing this.  It seems a medical mystery.  Many who suffer from this disease are called crazy and labeled DOP (Deusions of Parasitosis).   Once labeled as DOP, procuring further physical treatment is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

 There are many that have been ravaged by this disease, that know it is VERY REAL.   Doctors are unable, and unwilling, to find the cause or effective treatment.   Lack of treatment sends the sufferer into a debilitating spiral of declining health, and finances, until lives and relationships are destroyed.

WE NEED RESEARCH AND RECOGNITION THIS IS A REAL DISEASE.  

SIGN OUR PETITION IF YOU, OR A LOVED ONE, IS SUFFERING FROM THIS DISEASE NEEDLESSLY.

			<description>I support this petition 100%!!!  My mom is suffering from some strange skin ailment and she cannot get any help.  She lives in Placer County, California and every doctor at Kaiser Permanente says they cannot help.  One called her delusional.  My mom made the choice to shut herself off from the rest of the family to avoid \&amp;quot;contaminating\&amp;quot; us.  We couldn\'t get her to see us.  My sister forced her way in to see her yesterday and was shocked.  Whatever is going on has left her with lesions all over her body and she has lost about 25 lbs.  She looks like death walking. Apparently the lesions have black flecks in them and my mom says she is itchy all over.  She thinks they are mites, but that doesn\'t make sense.  It saddens me to think that she may die from this, and doctors who make tons of money cannot even assist.  Please help those who suffers!</description>

			<description>I have prayed and ask God to help me in my petition to you, to give me the words to say that might make a difference. You hold a position that the people have either voted on you for, or you were appointed by someone that was voted into their position. It should be an honor for you to represent the people that you have sworn to represent in a manner that upholds the value of human life. We are sick and suffering, and this is not a mental illness. It does cause severe mental stress, as we have most all been labeled delusional. I pray that God will touch your heart and you will do what\'s right. Everyone that is signing this petition has left their name and email address. You should be able to get in touch with anyone on the list, except of course for those that have passed away. I pray that you never have to face the tradgedy that the people who have signed this petition have been dealing with for so long. Please feel free to contact me in person, and I will get you as much information as it takes to make you understand our urgency for some help from our powers that be. The only government grant that has beed deligated to this disease is to the CDC. This was announced on the 16th day of January of 2008. There have been no updates since that time. It is an insult to us as sufferers that the contract was awarded to an HMO, instead of a reputible research facility. I pray your hearts will be broken to some compassion for your fellow human beings.</description>

			<description>What a shame that our goverment is as crooked and EVIL as the poor people we kill at war. This goes to show that we have no right to judge others. Our goverment is hiding the facts about this disease and we all know it! If it was addressed long ago so many people would have been spared. Money hungry drug companies, doctors and goverment are all behind this. Are they trying to kill us off? The poor and the weakened ones? Do they think we will all go away? No chance! We are banded together in truth and love, goodness will prevail! Take up your Spirits everyone, say prayers everyday for the unity of our souls and we will triumph over this illness. My body may be weak but my Spirit isnt! We arent going away, as a matter of fact its YOU, government, that will go away!! Sooner or later you will be seen for what you really are. Liars and theives. All the freaks and scumm will be brought out into the Light for all to see. Peace, love and truth to all my sisiters and brothers who who suffer, love Natalie</description>
