Thanks for bumping heads with me. I am verry interested in especially your observation and evidence. What I find odd is how you mis-represent the cause of a Virus to spread through one's cell bodies as incorporated to new functions (metabolic changes, division changes). As well, what other symptoms is she to present to an examiner other than that she has painful fibers of mis-colored thread coming out of her skin and are you saying to me and others reading that there is a premeditated disposition to treat any such evidence as being from a "crazy" subject? Psychology has no basis on the body, nowhere does she have mental psoriasys that you suggest. Perhaps you can point me to the books that you have read other than the typical psychologist default of "hallucination" or "delusion", where in law what you realy intend is a mis-representation of fact no less than incomplete comprehension of the matter; not some Dungeons'n'Dragons hallucination of a spell-caster that you elude to every behest that correlates from a non-injured spectator as yourself.
I'm going to overlook the presentation of how you responded and look just at the facts. I met her, not you; You just saw a YouTube video of a sickly lady. What she and many others are suffering from is moreso a diminished immune system if anything. What you overlook in the quackery department is the origin of its foundations being misapplied at random to perhaps unrelated diseases caused from perhaps undisclosed lifestyle difficulties. I'll tread lightly on your behalf and reason to your favor; Not judging you in any way, I believe we both know the dopamine receptor of the mind to be assured through a positive conjecture that even if it is a "placebo" then that would still be an effect of the mind: what is the body responding to, not the mind? Colloidal (ionic) silver was originally an absolute remedy for hereditary arthritis and a fix for arthritis caused by certain virus that actually deposit calcium in the joints. Sure, she can only endorse a certain product because it's likely her return service in essence of it being effectual. If NutriSilver was recommended to her and even a "placebo" as I believed you to justifiedly say, then that is for her to reason its effects. Again I ask, what is the body doing? If there ever was a conflict of interest then it would be nothing more than that of an inexpensive oil change, and not a weekly grocery bill or even higher-cost a pharmaceutical prescription without end; ionic silver generated and assimilated by one's self is not costly.
I don't "take sides" on any issue, but when someone starts accusing someone of hallucinating to a remedy or allegedly delusional without any reservation referenced to an authority of Wundt or Freud, and yet whomever standing as accused has no spirit of violence and with circumstances that are not out of their hand to fix whatever damages they may have caused or never caused that would inhibit their estate, then I must respectively disagree with your methods as I find them to be delusional and hallucinatory.
If it isn't hurting you, don't insult the mentally ill; mental illness isn't contagous as we both know, however if it were a bodily illness then you should still have nothing to fear because from what you said prior that the body and mind are one and the same illusion of the nervous systems' conception.
I guess it's somthing you have to see for yourself to verified accounts, not the side of quackery you may attest to have met that I would agree may be the consultancy of a Folie'a'Deux aspect of schizzofrenia working its way through to Morgellon's Disease sysmptoms. I find that quite revealing.
My pen is fading, so I hope I don't sound too abrash towards you. I'm a more calming effect talking in person than what tends to be met here as though a mis-mannered viking hacking at every thought, and I do appreciate your oberservations over the contrite people suffering from what is alleged mere hallucinations and delusions; perhaps psoriasis or acne, some bugged-out eyes, loss of hair, weak joints, digestive problems, fatigue, and a pale gaze. Those are symptoms of the endocrine system more likely. I know Abbot Laboratories is selling a Meal Replacement Nutrition Supplement(R), titled ENSURE(tm), chock full of the L-DOPA enhancing dihydroxyl phenylalanine that would masque many of those properties to whomever doesn't have an immune system to react to it, but that is not addressing the root cause. Most people that attest to some degree of Morgellon's Disease all find the same remedy: better quality and organic food, get away from the industrialization centers of populated cities, get lots of exercise to counter hypoxia of any degree. That's not insane, that's just a lifestyle change; you know what happens when you eat an imbalanced diet; it hits you later on in life.
