Livestream event with Special Guest, Gregory Smith M.D. FAAP

Joining us live from the 11th Annual Morgellons Disease Conference, Dr. Smith was one of the founders of The New Morgellons Order, which became The Charles Holman Foundation after Charles’ untimely death.

Dr. Smith first became sick with Morgellons skin lesions in May, 2004. Neurological symptoms started in December, 2004 which progressed to a debilitating movement disorder. Additionally, he also developed overwhelming fatigue, brain fog, and significant cognitive difficulties. He had to quit work in May, 2005, and formally retired a year later.

Dr. Smith started antibiotics in December, 2005, took IV ceftriaxone for 4 months, then oral antibiotics for 12 additional months and finally took antibiotics for about 5 years after that to feel fairly normal again.

Currently he is the Associate Director of the Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation, and also serves on the Medical Advisory Panel.
