Dietary Protocol Offers Hope to Morgellons Sufferers Amid Ongoing Medical Debate

Despite more than two decades of research, Morgellons disease remains one of modern medicine’s most perplexing and controversial conditions. For many sufferers, 22 years of scientific inquiry have brought little in the way of relief. But outside the spotlight of clinical trials and academic journals, one unconventional approach has been quietly transforming lives since the late 1990s.

Richard Kuhns, author of How to Get Your Life Back from Morgellons and Other Skin Parasites with over 250 four and five star reviews developed the King Diet Protocol after his own experience with skin parasites. Since then, his nutritional program has helped hundreds of individuals manage symptoms that mainstream medicine often struggles to explain, let alone treat.

Morgellons is characterized by sensations of crawling, biting, and stinging on the skin, along with lesions and the appearance of fibers emerging from the body. While some in the medical community classify it as a psychiatric condition known as delusional parasitosis, others argue that the symptoms are real and potentially linked to unidentified pathogens or environmental factors.

Kuhns’ approach is rooted in diet. The King Diet eliminates foods that feed parasites and promotes anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich alternatives. Though not a cure, Kuhns describes it as a powerful tool for symptom management. Many followers report total elimination of symptoms with their skin returned to normal. 

Unlike pharmaceutical treatments, which have largely failed to produce consistent results, the King Diet has quietly built a reputation through word of mouth and online testimonials. Kuhns free program and YouTube channel feature dozens of personal stories from individuals who say they’ve tried everything from antibiotics to psychiatric medications only to find lasting relief through dietary change.

The contrast is striking. While formal research into Morgellons has yet to yield a definitive cause or effective treatment, Kuhns protocol has been delivering tangible benefits for over 25 years. This grassroots success has led some to question whether the medical establishment has overlooked a crucial piece of the puzzle.

Adding urgency to the conversation is emerging data suggesting Morgellons may be more prevalent than previously believed, potentially even more common than Lyme disease. If accurate, this raises serious concerns about misdiagnosis and the need for broader investigation into skin parasites and their treatment.

For now, Kuhns continues to advocate for dietary intervention as a first step toward healing. While the scientific community remains divided on the nature of Morgellons, those living with its symptoms are increasingly turning to what’s on their plate and finding results in the process.

Richard Kuhns, B.S.Ch.E. is the author of How to Get Your Life Back from Morgellons and Other Skin Parasites and the creator of the King Diet Protocol which is a very strict diet that has helped hundreds reclaim their health from debilitating skin parasites. After developing the King Diet in the mid-1990s to overcome his own battle with skin parasites, Kuhns has become widely recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on the condition.

Unlike conventional perspectives that isolate Morgellons as a standalone issue or dismiss it as psychological, Kuhns takes a holistic view. His research and experience suggest that Morgellons acts as a trigger, awakening dormant organisms in the body. Organisms such as nematodes, fungi, mites, Lyme disease, Strongyloides, and others that collectively contribute to the complex symptom profile. Through his free online program and extensive library of educational resources, Kuhns empowers sufferers to take control of their health by addressing the root causes through diet.

With a background in chemical engineering and decades of hands-on experience, Kuhns blends scientific insight with practical guidance. His work continues to inspire a growing community of individuals seeking answers beyond the limitations of conventional medicine.

Hi there,

I have a topic suggestion that I think your listeners would find very interesting.

I’m a seasoned Executive and Leadership Development Coach, and in today’s climate, I keep hearing the same concerns from mid-level and senior leaders:

This cycle of unpredictability isn’t just stressful—it impacts culture, focus, and results. Leaders tell me:

They don’t have enough personal or staff capacity to deliver what is expected of them within ridiculous timeframes, and usually with unreasonable expectations of unrealistic  results.

In addition to being an Executive and Leadership Development Coach (Corporate Coach U Certified Graduate) for more than 20 years, I am an executive advisor, author, trainer, and workshop facilitator. I help develop and advise leaders that grow into ones that people want to work for and follow. In 2004 I founded Loretta Stagnitto Leadership Associates and in 2011 launched my Assess. Act. Achieve. Methodology and The “I Know” System ™ for Personal and Team Leadership Development. I created this unique coaching methodology after years of interpreting how good managers become great leaders and how productive individuals evolve into high-performing ones.

Here is a link to one of my recent podcast appearances on “The STaR Coach Show with Meg Rentschler” Podcast. https://youtu.be/3aM9UbTunr0?si=3jR0iIPIpMH4I-j2 

Please let me know if this sparks any ideas for an episode! I’m happy to hop on a call and brainstorm more. Your show provides so much value—I would be thrilled to contribute. Looking forward to hopefully working together soon!

Warm Wishes,

Thank you for considering Eva as a guest on your show.  

From a young age, Eva was looking for something that made her feel fulfilled and gave her a purpose in life. When she thought she had found it, for example, in her law degree, sports, a good job, traveling, etc., she discovered it wasn’t actually what she was looking for - there had to be something more. So, even though she had a good life, there was always a feeling that something was missing, a sense of emptiness and lack, which caused her to experience a lot of emotional suffering, sadness, and hopelessness.

About six years ago, Eva became interested in meditation and had a very significant experience right away that made her curious. Through listening to a guided meditation, she fell into such a deep state where nothing existed anymore: no Eva, no thoughts, no emotions, no worldly problems, just a deep sense of peace and quiet, clarity, and absolute freedom. From that moment on, she wanted to experience more of that.

Over years of dedicated spiritual practice, Eva experienced various levels of consciousness, such as Self-Realization, God Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, Brahman Consciousness (the Absolute), and beyond. With that development, she became a conduit for high-vibrational Divine energies. Healing abilities started to develop, along with other spiritual abilities and a broader understanding of optimizing and transforming the human system.

Since then, Eva has helped thousands of people from all over the world, guiding them on their path to spiritual awakening and healing.
