CARNICOM INSTITUTE NEWSLETTER
OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2018
CARNICOM INSTITUTE MOVING FORWARD
After
returning from the summer journey, work began in the lab again. While
traveling, the greatest focus was on the Carnicom Legacy Project.
Redacting and indexing a portion of the lab notes from the last twenty
years was a large part of the summer’s accomplishments. This work will
continue for quite some time. Another summer project was acquiring
animation software that will allow presentation of some of the work of
CI and research papers in a more interactive sort of way.

CARNICOM INSTITUTE LEGACY PROJECT
Long-term
benefits for the public are being developed through the Carnicom
Institute Legacy Project (CILP). The Carnicom Institute Legacy Project
and the WikiCI.org site
have been created to preserve, protect, and distribute the extensive
body of work and ongoing research conducted by CI at an international
level. Our goal is to provide full access to the entire body of work of
CI, including a voluminous set of hand-written laboratory notebooks, in a manner that is freely accessible. Planning
for the CI Legacy project continues, including the longer term
transition from an innovation research organization to a broader
educational organization that sponsors and promotes more controlled and
sophisticated research to take place in future years. Carnicom Institute
encourages you to use and share this information for the benefit of
all. You may stay abreast of changes in the Legacy Project by checking into www.carnicominstitute.org.
CURRENT RESEARCH
-
Current research is focused on numerous and particular samples of interest that have been received in the lab from citizens. These include properly collected and well documented samples, such as control HEPA filters (air filters), for instance.
-
A recent study was the examination of aerial contamination of an organic farm.
-
Culturing techniques of the specific micro-orgranism causal to the Morgellons condition continue to be advanced and improved upon. This work provides an impetus for controlled health and clinical studies in the future.
RECENT RESEARCH PAPERS
A Toxicology Study

This
paper demonstrates the impact that the microbiology of the Morgellons
condition, as determined by CI research, is likely to have upon life.
The videos included show that there are serious toxic and mortality
effects upon a protozoan culture chosen for a first trial. The
paramecium here were subjected to a protein solution that originates
from this very same microbiology, i.e., that which is know to be causal
to the Morgellons condition. Carnicom Institute continues to emphasize
that serious and elevated resources are now required to address the
serious issues disclosed by this research.

Another Marker for Examination

This
research paper presents a comparison between the microbiology causal to
the Morgellons condition with a human sputum sample. There is a
profound equivalency between the two. Once again, the severity of the
health issues before us is brought to the fore in a stark and direct
fashion. There are chronic health conditions that are now much more
easily understood and interpreted from the results of this poignant
study.
This
representative research by CI demonstrates the imperative to escalate
the support and resources for continued research at a much higher level;
serious and unreasonable constraints continue to exist at this time.

COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
CI
continues to put forward and advance potentially helpful and
significant health improvement strategies. The value of this work can
only be realized with the direct involvement of the health professional
community in the Morgellons issue. The Community Health Professional
Network (CHPN)
exists as one innovative and ambitious project to solicit this
involvement. Plans are to increase promotion of the CHPN. There has
already been some progress in the attraction of health professionals who
are aware of the significance of the Morgellons condition. With the
proper support, there is no reason whatsoever that clinical trials
cannot begin now.
FUTURE DIRECTION OF CI
Carnicom Institute is
reaching out to professional support for fund-raising assistance and
for promoting awareness of the mission and goals of CI. We expect to
begin reaching a wider audience in the upcoming months. Fundraising will
become more broad-based and hopefully more constructive to the many
needs of CI. Please take a look at the SUPPORT button at the lower right
of any of our web pages to see the changes underway.
There
are difficulties and challenges in the allocation of time and effort
between multiple serious needs that are currently being handled by
Clifford alone: active research, CI Legacy note preparation, CHPN
development, and longer-term planning for CI. Each of these areas is a
full-time vocation in itself. A broad-based fund-raising effort could
enable some of this work to be shared by volunteers and paid assistants,
as well as acquiring additional lab equipment and the maintenance of
both the lab and the mobile study facility.
DONATIONS TO CARNICOM INSTITUTE
An
update as to how donations are being used: We are pleased to note that
the infrared spectrometer, a highly important and prized instrument used
on thousands of trials and sample analysis, was repaired and is back at
work in the lab. A new microscope with advanced digital and phrase
contrast capabilities has been acquired, as well as modern smaller and
portable instruments that allow research to continue even when we
travel.
A
tremendous advancement in instrumentation has recently been put in
place due to Mr. Gary Sundby, a long-time colleague of the Institute.
Gary has restored an abandoned and neglected osmometer to a fully
working condition. This osmometer, in its original condition, is a
costly instrument and Gary has succeeded at an absolute fraction of this
cost. An osmometer is an instrument that can be used in several
important ways; the current projects are devoted toward the
determination of (with certain specific knowledge) molecular weights of
proteins. The molecular weight of a protein is a critical and defining
feature of its nature. The particular proteins under examination here
are those that are derived, once again, from the microbiology causal to
the Morgellons condition. This instrument has been a sought after
resource by the Institute for many years. The highest kudos are
expressed to Gary for his wonderful accomplishments here!
CI
aspires to gain compact Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) capability.
NMR is the next level of instrumentation that allows for structural
molecular determinations; although very helpful, infrared spectroscopy
does have significant limitations with regard to molecular details.
Molecular structure determination is at the heart of understanding how
chemistry affects biology, ours included. A modern introductory benchtop
NMR instrument is on the order of $50K.
Along
with the ongoing research, IT management of the website and the CI
Legacy Project are priorities that require funding. In addition, there
is a need for repair and maintenance of laboratory equipment, as well as
basic upkeep of the lab itself. Our thanks to donors whose
contributions serve the current and future generations.
We
ask you to consider a donation to CI, either with a one-time donation
or by becoming a subscription donor. Carnicom Institute is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization. Please communicate the importance of the work
of CI to your friends and peers to help us increase our subscriber base.
IN CLOSING
We
at Carnicom Institute thank you for your interest in and your support
of the work of CI relating to the environmental and health issues of our
times. We wish you the best of health and a return to true blue skies
and rain where it is needed.
MAY YOUR HOLIDAYS BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY!
