Unknown illness. New horror of the 21st century! Gulf War Syndrome

A recent study published in the Royal Medical Journal insists that great sculptor, Renaissance artist and architect Michelangelo suffered from osteoarthritis, which caused him terrible pain. Such a posthumous diagnosis forces us to re-evaluate the achievements of the great master, who did not stop working on sculpture until last days life. However, Michelangelo is far from the only significant historical figure, whose posthumous diagnosis told us what illnesses, unknown at the time, were plaguing her.

Michelangelo - arthritis

One of greatest masters Renaissance, Michelangelo Buonarroti worked on works of art until his death, which befell the sculptor at the age of 88. It is amazing that in an era when average duration life was much lower, the master managed not only to live to a respectable age, but also not to stop creating all this time.

What's even more surprising is that Michelangelo suffered from severe osteoarthritis, which greatly affected the artist's hands. But just like Michelangelo managed to complete the painting of the ceiling almost independently in a few years Sistine Chapel With an incredible effort of will, he continued to carve, write and draw even when the pain in his hands did not allow him to answer letters.

Scientists suspect that his insatiable desire to work to the detriment of his own health led to early development osteoarthritis. In later portraits of the master, he is depicted with a drooping left arm, which is additional evidence of the scientists' theory, as well as a poem written by the artist himself about the painting of the famous Vatican ceiling. However, it was probably the famous stubbornness of the great genius that allowed him to fight the disease until his death. We will never know what the cost of this struggle was, but Michelangelo undoubtedly emerged victorious.

Julius Caesar - epilepsy or microstrokes

IN historical descriptions The great Roman general, ruler and dictator, there is a wealth of evidence indicating that Caesar suffered from regular disorders. Plutarch described regular seizures, during which the commander’s body trembled and he dropped objects he was holding in his hands. Suetonius describes a similar state in which Caesar was several times during military campaigns. Both historians blame epilepsy, a condition well known to Roman medicine. At that time, it was called the “falling disease” and it was believed that epilepsy was an indicator of God’s grace.

In 2015, scientists, after re-reading the description of symptoms, which included frequent dizziness, depression, and paroxysms, suggested that Julius Caesar could have suffered from a series of transient ischemic attacks, known in the world as micro-strokes.

King George III - porphyria

George III rules Great Britain for more than fifty years, and his royal age included such important historical events like the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution. However, throughout his life the king suffered from constant bouts of madness, which often left him weakened or even bedridden.

In the 1960s, researchers carefully studied medical history His Majesty discovered that his symptoms - muscle and stomach pain, anxiety and hallucinations - indicated that the king was suffering from porphyrin disease. Porphyria is a genetic disease that affects the composition of the blood and the nervous system.

A 2005 analysis of George III's hair revealed that the condition was greatly aggravated by high levels of arsenic in the king's body. The poison was prescribed by a doctor for a “therapeutic and prophylactic” effect.

Harriet Tubman - narcolepsy

The woman, who during her lifetime was called Moses, freed and led hundreds of southern black slaves along the underground route to the North. Fearless and freedom-loving, Harriet suffered from narcolepsy from the age of thirteen, a disorder nervous system affecting sleep.

At age 13, Harriet, a young slave, stood in the way of a white overseer, preventing him from beating a runaway slave. A two-kilogram copper weight, intended for the fugitive, instead hit the girl’s head. For many months Harriet was between life and death. When she got out of bed, she was never well again. In addition to constant seizures and headaches, Tubman suffered from narcolepsy - the woman could suddenly fall asleep and, upon waking up, resume interrupted activities.

Samuel Johnson - Tourette's Syndrome

One of the greatest English writers XVIII century, Samuel Johnson was one of those rare cases when Tourette syndrome manifests itself throughout life. The writer's close friends noticed some "oddities" in him - tics, constant unconscious gestures and sounds - all symptoms indicating a nervous disorder. Despite the fact that Tourette syndrome is a relatively harmless disorder that does not affect life expectancy or intelligence, Johnson often faced ridicule from strangers who noticed his “oddities.”

Jane Austen - Addison's disease

In 1816, the author of the novels Emma, ​​Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion began to notice unusual, inexplicable symptoms - fatigue, back pain, fever, nausea and skin pigmentation. Jane Austen died a year later at 41. The description of the symptoms helped modern specialists identify the disease from which she suffered. English writer. Austin was stricken with Addison's disease, an endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce certain hormones. The condition became known to medicine just a few years after Jane Austen's death.

The disease usually develops very slowly and causes spots on the skin, which partly explains the information from the writer’s letters. However, some experts call the symptoms too sudden and explain Austen's painful condition as tuberculosis, lymphoma, or even arsenic poisoning, which at that time girls and women often took in small doses in order to achieve aristocratic pallor.

Abraham Lincoln - depression

For most of the life of the sixteenth President of the United States, he was plagued by an inexplicable melancholy, sadness and despair, which Lincoln called “the condition” from childhood. In his youth, Lincoln had thoughts of suicide, and he tried to combat attacks of the “condition” with the help of a sense of humor.

Stay at the White House Civil War and death youngest son only worsened the president's condition. Many of Lincoln's associates noted his deep sadness. According to a close friend of the president, no trait of Lincoln's character describes him more completely and clearly than his mysterious and constant melancholy. Lincoln's condition is still controversial among experts, but most believe that the president suffered from clinical depression.

Medicine in Russia is faced with a previously unknown disease, its symptoms reminiscent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is observed in carriers of HIV infection, writes Planet Today. The disease is of a fungal nature, according to infected citizens.

Doctors are unable to make a correct diagnosis for such patients, as well as prescribe appropriate treatment, since there are no specialists in the country who could diagnose the disease.

Those who are sick are forced to become real outcasts from society. The Zvezda TV channel dedicated a report to an unknown disease, in which one of the infected, Nizhnevartovsk resident Vera Morozova, talks about her mysterious illness.

According to the testimony of a woman susceptible to the disease, the illness first manifested itself as the flu, but over time, instead of the expected relief, the symptoms became more and more severe. High temperature, pain throughout the body, inflammation of the mucous membranes and the appearance of thread-like formations resembling mushrooms - this is an incomplete list of manifestations of this terrible disease. The doctors who contacted the patient could not detect any fungal infection.

Vera Morozova is not the only Russian resident facing this problem. There are entire forums on the Internet where patients like her try to self-medicate because they cannot receive qualified medical care.

Scientists believe that this disease is caused by a fungus unknown to science. Researchers have begun working to determine the causes of this mysterious disease. Only after this will it be possible to move on to developing methods for its treatment.

Earlier, Chinese media wrote that a disease with similar symptoms was also observed in China. Several thousand people died from this mysterious disease. In China, this disease was called AIDS phobia.

you are as naive as children! =)) did you get tetanus and influenza vaccinations?? here is your answer!!! everything came to us through vaccinations! I also had a fever all over my body, you go to bed freezing, but wake up from the fact that it is incredibly hot! all wet! you're all burning... I'm dressed in anger, and I'm all burning... sorry everyone, I'm sleeping today! This verse was born in the fall of last year this year, just during the period of exacerbation, familiar symptoms??, inexplicable rage and anger... so it’s all simple!! It's nanites! nano robots, collective mind!=)) if you agree with them, they don’t kill! vice versa! help cleanse the body! talk to them! they will answer you! you are just scared of an unknown alien who is rummaging around your body... that's all! fear defines this creature as a disease! how you perceive it will be!

www.03.ru/section/spid/3936394#m3968281. here is a link to a story with a guy named Eugene who died 8 years after infection; he no longer had any strength. There are many of us with such symptoms. But it’s not a fungus, but rather a viral infection. Based on the blood test and immunogram, doctors say it’s a viral infection. my mail [email protected] I’m ready for research if necessary. I live in St. Petersburg. I had all the acute symptoms as in Pokrovsky’s book and a serious condition for a month. A pen pal with his wife with the same symptoms and test results. We all have HIV minus. Nobody knows what’s wrong with us. We are waiting for help from medicine!

Angelina, hello! I really need your help - give me links to these forums! I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it!(

Nature is limitless and amazing in all its manifestations, including those that are not the most pleasant and safe for humans. For example, even the best of doctors cannot comprehend all the diseases to which people are susceptible. Many are sure that healthy image life and regular preventive procedures provide one hundred percent protection from various problems with health, but sometimes people “catch” diseases that they have never even heard of. Here are some of the exotic ailments.

1. “Stone Man” Syndrome

This congenital hereditary pathology, also known as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive, or Munheimer's disease, occurs due to a mutation in one of the genes and is one of the rare diseases in the world.

The bottom line is that inflammatory processes occurring in ligaments, muscles, tendons and other connective tissues lead to calcification and ossification of matter, which can lead to serious problems with the musculoskeletal system. This disease is also called “disease of the second skeleton”, since there is active growth of bone tissue in the human body.

On this moment 800 cases of fibrodysplasia have been registered in the world, and so far doctors have not found effective methods treatment or prevention of this disease - only painkillers are used to alleviate the plight of patients. It must be said that there is hope for correcting the situation, since in 2006 scientists were able to discover which genetic abnormality leads to the formation of a “second skeleton,” and active clinical trials are currently underway to develop ways to combat this terrible disease.

2. Progressive lipodystrophy

People suffering from this unusual condition appear much older than their age, which is why it is sometimes called “reverse Benjamin Button syndrome.” For example, in one of known cases With this type of lipodystrophy, 15-year-old Zara Hartshorn is often mistaken for the mother of her older 16-year-old sister. What is the reason for such rapid aging?

Due to an inherited genetic mutation, and sometimes as a result of the use of certain medications, autoimmune mechanisms in the body are disrupted, which leads to rapid loss of subcutaneous fat reserves. Most often, the fatty tissue of the face, neck, upper limbs and torso is affected, resulting in wrinkles and folds. So far, only 200 cases of progressive lipodystrophy have been confirmed, and it mainly develops in women. In treatment, doctors use insulin, facelifts and collagen injections, but this gives only a temporary effect.

3. Geographical language

Interesting name for a disease, isn't it? However, there is also scientific term to designate this “sore” - desquamative glossitis.

Geographic tongue occurs in approximately 2.58% of people, and most often the disease has chronic properties and worsens after eating, during stress or hormonal stress.

Symptoms manifest themselves in the appearance of discolored smooth spots on the tongue, reminiscent of islands, which is why the disease received such an unusual nickname, and over time, some “islands” change their shape and location, depending on which of the taste buds located on the tongue heal, and some, on the contrary, get irritated.

Geographic tongue is practically harmless, if you do not take into account increased sensitivity to spicy foods or some discomfort that it can cause. Medicine does not know the causes of this disease, but there is evidence of a genetic predisposition to its development.

4. Gastroschisis

This somewhat funny name hides a terrible birth defect in which intestinal loops and other internal organs fall out of the body through a cleft in the anterior wall of the abdominal cavity.

According to statistics from American doctors, gastroschisis occurs on average in 373 out of 1 million newborns, and young mothers have a slightly higher risk of having a child with this disorder. Previously, approximately 50% of infants with gastroschisis died, but thanks to the development of surgery, mortality has been reduced to 30%, and in the best clinics in the world, approximately nine out of ten babies can be saved.

5. Xeroderma pigmentosum

This hereditary skin disease manifests itself in a person's increased sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. It occurs due to mutations in proteins responsible for correcting DNA damage that occurs when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The first symptoms usually appear in early childhood(up to 3 years): when a child is in the sun, he or she develops serious burns after just a few minutes of exposure sun rays. The disease is also characterized by the appearance of freckles, dry skin and uneven discoloration of the skin.

According to statistics, people with xeroderma pigmentosum are more at risk of developing cancer than others: in the absence of proper preventive measures, approximately half of children suffering from xeroderma will develop some kind of cancer by the age of ten. There are eight types of this disease of varying severity and symptoms. According to European and American doctors, the disease occurs in approximately four people out of a million.

6. Arnold-Chiari malformation

Speaking in simple language, the essence of this disease is that due to the rapid growth of the brain in the slowly developing bones of the skull, the cerebellar tonsils are immersed in the foramen magnum with compression of the medulla oblongata.

Previously, it was believed that the deviation was exclusively congenital, but recent studies prove that this is not so. The incidence of this anomaly ranges from 33 to 82 cases per million, and it is diagnosed in both children and adults.

There are several types of Arnold-Chiari malformation: from the most common and least severe first, to the very rare and dangerous fourth. Symptoms may appear in at different ages and most often begin with severe headaches. One of the recognized methods of helping with the disease is surgical decompression of the skull.

7. Alopecia areata

The reasons for the development of this disease lie at the cellular level - the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, which leads to baldness. One of the most severe and rare forms of this disease, alopecia totalis, can lead to complete loss of hair on the head, eyelashes, eyebrows and leg hair, while in some cases the follicles are capable of self-healing.

The disease affects about 2% of the population globe, and methods are currently being developed for the treatment and prevention of the disease, however, the fight against alopecia areata is complicated by the fact that in the initial stages the deviation is characterized only by itching and increased sensitivity of the skin.

8. Nail-patella syndrome (nail-patella syndrome)

This disease in mild form manifests itself in the absence or abnormal growth of nails (with depressions and growths), but its symptoms can be quite varied - up to more serious skeletal abnormalities such as severe deformation or absence of the kneecap. In some cases, visible growths on the posterior surface of the ilium, scoliosis and patellar luxation are noted.

A rare hereditary disorder occurs due to a mutation in the LMX1B gene, which plays a role in important role in the development of limbs and kidneys. The syndrome occurs in 1 person out of 50 thousand, but the symptoms are so varied that sometimes the disease can be detected by initial stage incredibly difficult.

9. Hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1

One of the rarest diseases in the world, this type of neuropathy is diagnosed in two out of a million people. The anomaly occurs due to damage to the peripheral nervous system resulting from an excess of the PMP22 gene.

The main sign of the development of hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1 is loss of sensation in the arms and legs. A person stops experiencing pain and feeling a change in temperature, which can lead to tissue necrosis, for example, if a fracture or other injury is not recognized in time. Pain is one of the body’s reactions that signal any “problems”, so loss of pain sensitivity is fraught with too late detection dangerous diseases, be it infections or ulcers.

10. Congenital myotonia

If you've ever heard of goat faint, then you know roughly what congenital myotonia looks like - due to muscle spasms, a person seems to freeze for a while.

The cause of congenital (congenital) myotonia is a genetic deviation: due to a mutation, the functioning of the chloride channels of skeletal muscles is disrupted. The muscle tissue becomes “confused”, voluntary contractions and relaxations occur, and the pathology can affect the muscles of the legs, arms, jaws and diaphragm.

Now there are no doctors effective way solutions to this problem, except for radical drug treatment (with the use of anticonvulsants) in the most severe cases. Doctors recommend that almost everyone suffering from this disease alternate regular physical exercise with smooth muscle-relaxing movements. I must say, despite some inconveniences, people with this disease can easily live a long and happy life.

One day in 2003, Mary Leitao pulled some kind of fiber from a wound under the lip of her two-year-old son Drew. The fiber was weightless, like dandelion, but not the only one.

Mary began taking her Drew to doctors. And after 3 pediatricians, 3 allergists, 2 dermatologists and other doctors were unable to diagnose the disease, Mary panicked: she realized that she was faced with a serious problem. And more and more non-healing wounds appeared on Drew’s body, from which some kind of fibers grew - white, black, red or blue. The boy insisted that there were some boogers crawling under his skin - for example, he pointed to his lips and said “bugs.”

It was not eczema, not an allergy, but something very strange.

In desperation, in March 2004, Mary Leitao began reading medical literature and in the article XVII century on French I found something similar in symptoms - black hairs appear from the skin. And it was called Morgellons disease. There was clearly something different about baby Drew. But the name stuck.

Mary turned to Internet readers - she hoped to receive news from scientists or doctors. Instead, there are thousands of messages from other sufferers. And everyone described wounds and fibers and, in addition, listed a variety of other symptoms: “brain fog,” fatigue, muscle cramps, joint pain, loss of hair and nails, temporary memory lapses, decreased performance, communication difficulties, alienation from family , depressive states, thoughts of suicide.

In general, the description of this disease is only suitable for science fiction. “A person has the feeling that something is crawling on and under the skin,” says Judy Johnson, “and the multi-colored fibers emerging from the skin seem to be living creatures, and intelligent ones at that.” These are some very thin threads, cobwebs, sometimes something like a granule, seed or bug. Some people see insects flying out of the body and flying into the skin. All this is accompanied by a feeling of tingling, burning and, most importantly, unbearable itching. Physical suffering is especially terrible. “It’s such pain that, if it were possible, I would go for amputation of my legs, just to get rid of all this,” says Judy.

Crowd of versions

One of the “fashionable” versions says that genetically modified agricultural products are to blame for Morgellons disease. After all, scientists have more than once inserted animal genes into plants. For example, a jellyfish or a spider. So some spider bugs, or seeds, or plant fibers appear in a person’s body.

Dr. Raphael Stricker from San Francisco believes that a bacterium characteristic of plants is to blame. This means that people picked it up from the soil or dirt. Let's say, through ticks, which can carry up to 40 different diseases.

Another sensational version is that these are textile fibers that got into wounds from clothing and “took root” in human flesh. But maybe it’s not even fabric, but... plastic?

Daniel Elkan in the journal New Science described one patient who for years discovered “fibers like flexible plastic, some writhing in a zigzag pattern. They are thin, like the silk of spider webs, but strong enough to even break the skin if you pull on them.”

Again just bewilderment

The first scientist who began to seriously research mysterious illness, became Professor Randy Wymore, director research program Morgellons Research Foundation. The first results of his work refuted the version of hallucinations. “But these are not textile fibers,” said the scientist, “and not worms, not insects, not fragments human skin or hair. In general, these threads do not appear from the outside - they materialize inside the body.”

It was not until January 2008 that a grant was awarded for the study of Morgellons disease. In the meantime, strange fibers were sent to laboratories, in particular to the University of Oklahoma, where they were examined under the leadership of Dr. Wymore. And what? It turned out that fibers from different patients are very similar to each other, but nevertheless they are not similar to any of the known to science fiber!

In another study, Vitaly Tsitovsky, a professor of biochemistry and cell biology at New York University, discovered that the fibers contain a genus of gram-negative bacteria that can genetically transform not only plants but also human cells! According to Professor Tsitovsky, this does not at all mean that Morgellons disease is caused by these bacteria or that it is an infectious disease. We still need to accumulate statistics and work with laboratory animals.

Is it really from the chemtrails?!

Now another, most exotic version has appeared - that Morgellons disease appears from the so-called. “chemtrails” (chemical traces) left in the sky by some mysterious aircraft. In general, chemtrails are one of the mysteries recent years. People exposed to aerosol sprays suffer from headaches, nausea, fever, skin rashes, asthma, etc. Either someone is deliberately spraying some kind of chemicals, or the new kind weapons (for example, weather), or even the machinations of aliens. But there is also such a nightmare version: tiny sensors made on the principle of nanotechnology are sprayed from the sky, falling into the air, water and food, and with them into the human body.

Recently, three scientists collected samples of these and other fibers (from chemtrails and victims of Morgellons disease) and sent them for examination to four different laboratories. The result was stunning. It turned out that the chemtrails over Texas and, say, over Italy are almost identical in composition. But - and this is especially important - the fibers sprayed from airplanes are, as it were, an “infant” version of those that grow from the body of patients, i.e. this is like their “pre-Morgellons stage.” In victims of Morgellons disease, these fibers are more developed and resemble the finest nanowires.

Shocking statement

And now Jeff Rance, the owner of the website, radio host and winner of the prestigious Peabody Journalism Award, comes out with a new definition of Morgellons disease. Most likely, this is an external invasion of human tissue caused by nanotechnology, manifested in the form of self-replicating tubes, wires and colored fibers, with many sensors or “antennas” and objects of other visible configurations, some of which carry what may be genetically altered and/or spliced ​​DNA/RNA. These (nanomodeled) “machines” survive well in an alkaline environment and use bioelectric energy for their vital functions. human body, its minerals and other elements. In addition, tiny nanomachines have their own internal “batteries” that can respond to specifically tuned microwaves, electromagnetic fields and other signals. Those. these nanomachines can receive information from the outside and have a kind of group intelligence, or “hive mind”.

But can nanofibers scattered in chemtrails disintegrate and turn into nanoparticles? It's possible, says Dr. Staninger. And nanoparticles can penetrate through the bloodstream into the lungs, brain and any other parts of the body. There they copy the DNA of the microbes or cells they come into contact with, producing even more bacteria, more cells, and - by self-assembly - turn into full-size nanowires, pseudohair and/or pseudoskin.

You can't hide anywhere!

According to Dr. Castle, at least a million Americans, and maybe even twenty million, already carry in their bodies these sensors, antennas, wires, probes, matrices, grids, gratings, etc. - all in nanoscale parameters. Morgellons disease is spreading at a rate of approximately 1,000 victims per day. These rates will increase every year.

By spraying from above, biological nanosensors “thinner than a human hair” can be secretly implanted into people. And what can be done with the “tagged” ones is clear to anyone. Not only to read thoughts, intentions, emotions, but also to conduct remote psychotronic processing of the population. Microscopic sensors can penetrate anywhere, this is called “smart dust”, and it is programmed chemically - for example, to penetrate only into a specific substance, to self-replicate, to attach to clothing, etc. Other sensors dropped from above are capable of “sniffing” a specific molecule in the air or “licking” it on a surface - they are equipped, as it were, with “nanonoses” or “nanotongues”. Their readings can be scanned using rays (ultraviolet, x-ray and others) and then processed. Now experts are already developing sensors that track a specific person by his individual smell. In other words, the emphasis is shifting to nanosensors capable of hearing, smelling and touching.

What does the coming day have in store for us?

Unmanned aircrafts for collecting data from “ground-based sensors” (including those located in the human body) can be very diverse - from space platforms and spy satellites to tiny devices in the form of, for example, a dragonfly or a fly. And there are already technologies capable of shielding and covering them in such a way that no radar or satellite can see them. A more economical option - with the help of space mirrors, sensor data can be reflected and sent to a tracking station. In a word, the wildest ideas of science fiction writers are already becoming reality. Some have been developed and implemented, while others the military plans to implement before 2025. But Morgellons disease, or more precisely, a nanotechnological epidemic spread through chemtrails, is an undoubted nightmare reality of our days.
