How to Make Vegan Yogurt for Morgellons Disease

If you’ve read this, then you already know why homemade yogurt is so good for treating Morgellons disease. And if this is news to you then you’d better start reading this first! But just in case, here’s a little recap.

Morgellons disease is caused by bacteria. Basically, you have an imbalance of bad bacteria in your gut. This bad bacteria in your then spreads to your skin via the gut-skin-axis. To fix this bacterial imbalance you need lots of good, gut-friendly probiotics. Homemade yogurt is a great and inexpensive way to get the probiotics you need. Remember – probiotics, diet, and antimicrobials, are the foundation of the No More Morgellons Program that I and several other people have now used to successfully treat their Morgellons disease. And I’ve now had numerous people ask about a vegan or vegetarian option for yogurt, so without further ado here it is!

But first – what is yogurt?

Yogurt is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with specific strains of bacteria, typically lactic acid bacteria. During the fermentation process,  these bacteria convert lactose, the natural sugar found in milk, into lactic acid. This causes the milk to thicken and develop a tangy flavor.

Yogurt is rich in probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help improve digestion and boost the immune system. Additionally, yogurt can be eaten plain or flavored!

Why is it good for you?

Yogurt is considered healthy for these reasons:

  • Probiotics: Yogurt contains live and active cultures of beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics. These bacteria can improve gut health, boost the immune system, and help prevent certain illnesses and infections.
  • Digestive health: The probiotics in yogurt can help improve digestion and eliminate symptoms of digestive disorders.
  • It helps to treat Morgellons disease! Not only is yogurt great for treating numerous skin conditions such as eczema, it also helps to rebalance the gut microbiome for the treatment of Morgellons disease.

Why is homemade yogurt better for you?

Homemade yogurt is better for you than store-bought yogurt for several reasons:

  • Control over ingredients: When you make yogurt at home, you have control over the ingredients that go into it. You can choose high-quality, organic ingredients and avoid added sugars, artificial flavors, and other additives that may be present in some store-bought yogurts.
  • Probiotic content: The amount and type of probiotics in yogurt can vary depending on the fermentation process and the strains of bacteria used. When you make yogurt at home, you can choose to use specific strains of bacteria that are beneficial for your health and ferment the yogurt for a longer period of time to increase the probiotic content.
  • Freshness: Homemade yogurt is fresher than store-bought yogurt, which may have been sitting on the shelf for several days or weeks. Fresher yogurt may contain more active cultures and nutrients.
  • Cost savings: Making yogurt at home can be far more cost-effective than buying it at the grocery store.

What are the ingredients?

Coconut milk and probiotics, that’s it!

How do you make it?

Making vegan coconut yogurt at home is a relatively easy process. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started.

Ingredients and needed items:

  • 2 – 16 oz. cans of full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 capsules of lactic acid probiotics
  • Two – 16 oz jars
  • One cooking thermometer
  • One heating pad without an auto shut off

How to make it

  • Heat one – 16 oz container of coconut milk in the microwave. Depending on the microwave this could take about three to six minutes. You want to heat the coconut milk up to about 180 degrees Fahrenheit (83 degrees Celsius). You will be heating the milk until it almost begins to boil but not quite. You are heating up the milk to kill any additional bacteria that may be present and to create a better environment  for the bacteria that you will be adding. For some reason heated milk seems to make better yogurt.
  • After heating up the coconut milk, now you will let it cool until it is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).
  • Once the coconut milk is at the correct temperature you can add one probiotic capsule and place the jar of milk on the heating pad or in a yogurt maker. Simply twist the probiotic capsule to open it and empty the probiotic powder into the milk. I personally use a heating pad to make my yogurt. It is easy to use, and I can travel with my heating pad. Use low heat to make your yogurt, you do not want the temperature to exceed 115 degrees Fahrenheit (47 degrees Celsius) since higher temperatures will kill off the probiotics. Try to maintain a temperature between 100- and 110-degrees Fahrenheit (37-44 degrees Celsius).
  • Place the jars containing the warm milk and probiotics on the heating pad. Turn the heating pad on low, cover the jars and the heating pad with a towel, and let it incubate for about seven to ten hours.
  • You want the yogurt to be almost solid, it should have the consistency of firm Jell-O and be surrounded by a clear liquid (whey). Once the yogurt has thickened, put it in the fridge and you are ready to begin the NMM Program.

To make yogurt on the stove top you would simply follow the same temperature guidelines for heating the milk and then use either method to incubate the yogurt once you have added the probiotics. Remember to pay attention to your temperatures.

The longer you let the yogurt incubate and the thicker it is, the more probiotics it will contain. But be careful to avoid the law of diminishing returns. If you heat it for too long, at a certain point the bacteria will begin to die off. The yogurt will thicken further as it cools in the fridge, so don’t worry if it seems too thin at first. You can also experiment with different flavors and toppings to suit your taste.

There you have it! Delicious and healthy vegan yogurt! Remember, probiotics are vital to treating your Morgellons disease. And as always, if you have a question, reach out!

  1. Thank you so much for this article. I was wondering if different strains of probiotics were needed to make optimal vegan kefir, but it sounds like it’s primarily sugar content that matters. Do you suggest adding additional sugars before fermentation, would that increase the CFUs? Are there better strains for vegan kefir? (Does it make sense to just use a commercial vegan kefir to seed one’s own production?)

    I would like to mention that I purchased/consumed commercial vegan kefir and noticed an immediate improvment of symptoms, ie a reduction of fibers/specks exiting skin. I did consume a large volume of vegan coconut kefir because it was delicious.

    However, I went out to a party on the weekend, with predictable actions and consequences – and a rapid relapse in conditions. Very interesting how rapidly (< 24 hours) symptoms return. There must be a fairly large reservoir in the guts or elsewhere in the body that is ready to colonize when conditions are right.

    I have been taking various natural antimicrobials (oregano oil, coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract, tumeric) over the past year along with being on a carnivore diet and am hoping that addition of probiotics will finally defeat it. It seems to me the carnivore diet (0 carb) must not support morgellons very well, but even with the addition of antimicrobials and supplements (NAC, ALA, glutathione, garlic oil) it was not enough to kick it out, although symptoms were greatly reduced.

    Are there (selective) antimicrobials that do not harm the probiotics but do kill morgellons?
    Has there been any comparison of efficacy of specific antimicrobials w/ morgellons? I am aware of studies comparing in vitro essential oils vs borellia, where oregano and mint essential oils perform well. What do you think about drinking mint tea? Is this likely to help?

    1. Thank you for your comment! These are all great questions. I just need a day or two and I’ll address everything that you asked. But, one thing I want to say is that diet and antimicrobials alone are not enough to beat Morgellons disease. You MUST include probiotics! I’ll have more info for you in a couple of days. Thank you for your patience!

    2. Sorry for the delay! I don’t really recommend kefir for most people unless you really know what you’re doing, although it is extremely high in probiotics! But, kefir is far more labor intensive and you would need to maintain kefir grains. I settled on yogurt because it is high in probiotics and easy to make!

      Commercial kefir and yogurt is helpful but it’s most likely not going to have enough probiotics. By making yogurt yourself you can drastically increase the CFUs.

      “Very interesting how rapidly (< 24 hours) symptoms return”. Once you have been taking in enough probiotics for an extended period of time you will not have this issue. You will be able to go days at a time without consuming probiotics and still not have your usual symptoms. “it was not enough to kick it out, although symptoms were greatly reduced.” Yes carnivore and keto are great diets for Morgellons! However, neither are enough to effectively treat MD alone. You must consume massive amounts of probiotics! At least in the beginning stage... “Are there (selective) antimicrobials that do not harm the probiotics but do kill morgellons?” Morgellons is already so controversial that I don’t foresee any studies like this happening any time soon, unfortunately! As for mint tea, it’s okay but it was not nearly as effective as ginger tea made with real/fresh ginger! Thank you for your comment! Please feel free to contact me with any other questions!
