Americans have become more and more addicted to escapism in all of its forms. If you don’t believe me, just take a minute to think about how you spend your free time. How much of your time is spent in front of the tv, watching a movie, shopping, or playing video games? Do you possibly drink too much, smoke too much, or abuse drugs? There are so many options for escapism in America, it is hard to resist them. They offer the appeal of what appears to be a quick fix from life’s problems. To make matters worse, advertisers are focused almost solely on preaching the virtues of retail therapy, or the concept that buying something, be it a movie ticket or a new pair of pants, will instantly transform your life into a glamorous, exciting existence.

Of course watching TV, movies, or even shopping aren’t all bad, but when done in excess, they limit your opportunities to learn and grow. I won’t even get into abusing alcohol or drugs to escape because the negative effect of these addictions on the life of a substance abuser are very obvious and very well documented. If you are struggling at all in this area, please watch the show “Intervention” on A&E. This is the best show on the affects of addiction.

You need to sit down and think about how you may have been affected by advertisers if you want to get down to your true desires and start developing your own talents. You may be surprised when you realize that you are actually very persuaded to think that a new Gucci bag instantly makes you a better person. The reality is, what makes you a better person is so much more about how you interact with people every day–how you show your character, how you become a true friend to someone.

These are all valid reasons for escapism, and there are many more. But when escaping starts to become your reality, you are in for trouble. You should take time to reflect on how you use your time, and if you’re trying to escape instead of developing your own talents and pursuing healthy goals to better your own life, living vicariously through someone else in the tabloids or on the movie screen will never make you happy.

Rare skin parasites, causing relentless itchy skin, suffered by thousands of people world wide are becoming more common. The itching is so intense and relentless that the only relief is to take near scalding baths several times a day to keep the vermin at bay.

How are the itchy skin parasites contracted? One lady contracted them from a bird nest she knocked down from a window. Another lady along with her husband contracted them from furniture they rented while their furniture was in transit. One fellow contracted them from a dust cloud while cutting down a dead tree. Another woman removed a nest of mice from a comforter stored in her garage and contracted them. Exchanging dresses at a wedding with another bridesmaid was the downfall of another lady. One woman even says she contracted it from a fellow sitting across from her at a meeting at work. She claims to have seen droplets coming from his mouth as he spoke. My own personal hell started when I had a cloud of dust descend upon me as I pulled a strangulating vine from a tree in my back yard.

Onset of symptoms usually starts approximately twenty-four to thirty-six hours after exposure. The initial symptoms are an itching of the skin driving the individual to a hot bath to relieve the symptoms. Unfortunately within several hours the intense itching returns. Anti itch creams only provide respite for a few hours.

Their desperation and panic results in all kinds of de-wormers, herbal remedies, chelation therapy and or removal of amalgam from filings in their teeth to remove mercury, medications from Mexico, faith healing, rifing… most to no avail.

The offending parasites are generally one or more of several skin parasites:
1. Collembola (spring tails)
2. Strongyloides stercoralis
3. Morgellons
Unfortunately the fact is that nearly all physicians are totally inexperienced with the treatment of these pathogens and for two of them there are no diagnostic tests available. And ironically the one that can be identified (the strongyloides) is a rare nematode requiring a wormer which again physicians are inexperienced in its treatment.
