Toxoplasmosis Gondii
Posted by Andreea (Grimsby, On, Canada) on 06/17/2011
Hello
I have been told that I am infected with Toxoplasma gondii, which is a microscopical parasite. I have also been told that there is no cure for this. This parasite causes me much grief at times, when it flares up and I am convinced my digestive problems are related to it. I would also like to have another child, but being pregnant and having toxoplasmosis is not a good combination, as a toxoplasma activation during pregnancy can lead to pregnancy loss and severe fetal abnormalities. I was lucky once, during my first pregnancy, but I would prefer not to risk it again.
So, any suggestions on this? Thank you so much! Everyone here is simply wonderful!

You could try a strict primal diet. Seems to work for nearly everything. The symptoms of this bugger seem eerily familiar to me but have fallen right back since I've been 'primal'. No diagnosis though. It certainly won't hurt and you'll probably find a whole host of other issues sorting themselves out too.
Best to you, and humanity too frankly. : )
Threadworms
Posted by Ashflea (Brisbane, Qld/australia) on 05/08/2011
Please help!
Our family gets threadworms often. We use tablets from the chemist (mebendazole) This helps but they come back even when we take again after around three weeks due to the cycle of worms. We go through this maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Is there something in our diet contributing to this. Is there another way to treat it. We have six children ranging from 12 years to 8 months. I don't think the baby has them but don't really know. The next youngest is 3. I need the simplest way of dealing with this due to getting all the children treated. I am also breast feeding the baby.

Black Walnut, Artemesia, Cloves

★★★★☆WORKED TEMPORARILY
Hello everyone, I just tried the advice of somebody here to take the black walnut, artemisia and cloves. This remedy did help me for about a week. However, I feel that the protozoa has developed a resistance because I'm feeling the symptoms back. Is there anything else that works good against protozoa? The problem with my doctor is that he doesn't believe me. He says that this protozoa is non-pathogenic and yet me and my wife are having the same problem from it. God bless you.

Reply to worms in hair: I am dealing with the same thing! I am ready to commit myself. My family thinks Im nuts or stressed out! Certain hairstrands will move all about, especially at night. What is this??? I really feel helpless. This is not a joke. I cannot sleep I am so freaked out! Also, see worms in my stool. Just recovered from c diff, was recently diagnosed with anemia, and white blood cells in stool. Getting further testing but I am pretty sure traditional doctors will be of no help dealing with the parasite. My family doctor advised me to see a shrink. I was furious! Help!

Take a garlic clove and dice it up and take it like pills. Swallow it with water. Also buy cloves or you can buy it as a spice. If you get it in powder, mix it with water. Do this every day for a while and see if it helps.

The scalp movement is from demodex mites. They live in the hair follicles. Everyone has them but some people get a proliferate. I know because I fight them myself. What seems to work is ivermectin. ACV hair rinse helps. After I dye my hair it also feels better. Currently I have changed my diet to exclude wheat, sugar and any and all junk food. I am eating a LOT of garlic.

Has anyone tried Mayonnaise? Put mayonnaise in your hair and on your eyebrows. Let it sit a while then wash it out. Should help kill the demodex mites.
Hookworms
Posted by Rob (Manhattan, New York) on 09/08/2009
fascinating story on WNYC, RadioLab (do a google search) about Parasites.. about one positive case, where a man cured his allergies & asthma by deliberately infecting himself with a hookworm. The theory is that hookworms evolved in harmony with humans having a modulatory effect on the immune system in exchange for food. He went to Africa solely for this purpose, to walk around in feces until he was infected...Upon returning no longer has asthma or allergies....too many hookworms will cause anemia however.. have a listen....

The doctors suspect hydatid because my sister had toured the outback of Australia. Her symptoms began with watery discharge from genitor-urinary tract and for the last ten years have included abdominal and peritoneum pain, leg's spasms and mobility impairment. She is anxious to know:
What symptoms made u think it was hydatid? Where did the hydatid give u pains?

Syptoms are fatigue and loose bowels to name a few. My understanding is that the syptoms will vary from which organs the parasites are in, therefore no two people will have the exact same syptoms. Having lab work done is the best way to determine the presents of parasites since syptoms can be like other diseases. I usually take things for parasites on a regular basis.

Hi this is S's sister, to Lori from Orlando, and to PR from Houston, thanks for all your help and advice on hydatid. You've been great! This is the first time I am using the computer to talk to people about my health and I am overwhelmed at how helpful everyone is to each other in sharing information and advice.
I had a hair analysis by a Naturopath and the results showed a high level of parasites in my system. But when I told this to an orthodox doctor he said parasites cannot be tested by hair analysis. Do you, or anyone else reading this, have any views, knowledge or experience of this? - Thanks again.
Hydatid Tapeworm
Posted by PR (Houston, TEXAs) on 05/26/2009
Hi E., I have had my hair tested also and as far as I know you can only tell levels of minerals, heavy metals and certain toxins in your hair. If your hair test showed heavy metals and toxins you probably have parasites, and maybe fungus, because theses are the elements the parasites need to stay in your body. So even though the hair test doesn't show parasites the heavy metal load I think is where this doctor may be coming from. The only way I know to test for parasites are fecal samples or blood work depending on which parasites the doctor is looking for. Maybe someone else will comment as I know I don't know everything. Hope this helps you some.

I have constant abdominal pain so I can only use the computer every few days. I think you are right about the toxins as my chemical and hydrocarbon toxin level was very high at 96, and my fungus level was 54, the parasite level was 95, and I also had a post viral level of 75. I have had the Hydatid blood test which was negative and ditto for the fecal tests but I will carry on investigating it. Thanks a lot for all your useful information you have been really helpful.

Hydatid Tapeworm
Posted by Tricia (Elmont, New York) on 08/12/2009 8 posts
This is for S. and Helen. I just read on another site that you can take Diatomateous Earth. This fossil flour just tears the parasites to pieces and you expel them through bowel movements. If you can find this earth, take a heaping tablespoon three times a day before any meals for 30 days. You cannot miss any day or you have to start over again. You will need to search for more information on the web. I live in the U.S. and there are many companies that sell this stuff. I just ordered some from Nebraska and I will be receiving it in a few days. I am going to try this therapy for myself and I will post again on my experience. I have not been diagnosed with parasites but the symptoms are all there. I have given up bread, anything with sugar, gave up eating out and cooking all my meals myself. Have started a regiment of eating most of my food raw or slightly steamed. I love soupa trahana with haloumi but that is not happening in my kitchen yet because wheat is not recommended.
Wish you luck. Peace.

Hi Tricia
Thanks for all your advice it is really appreciated. I too have not been diagnosed with parasites although I am convinced I have them. I'm not sure that the parasites are actually in my intestines. I feel the pain in my abdomen which is very swollen and I have cysts in lots of sites including the pancreas and liver. But I appreciate the info about Diatomateous Earth and will see if I can find it in our local health shop. It would be great to hear how you get on. Incidentally, if you hear of any Greek remedies i.e. certain foods that are useful it would be great to hear. Take care, Lots of love, E.

The Greeks cooked with all the right spices. Garlic powder, rosemary or oregano, salt and pepper. Put this on chicken, pork chops, fish or lamb. Garlic, rosemary and oregano are anti-parasitic. They also used olive oil and lemon juice. The olive oil is also anti-parasitic.

Flagyl saved my life. I had Giardia. After 3 courses of medication, Flagyl combined with Albendazole finally cleared it. I thank God for this medication. Yes, it was awful to take, should not be taken lightly and always under a doctor's supervision, alcohol definitely needs to be avoided while taking, and it does have nasty side effects. For me, the side effects passed and I was able to finally recover from the horrible nightmare of Giardia.

Hello again. I just wanted to say thanks for the fast respond. For the last couple of days the sesame oil has worked wonderfully, but i still have the sensation of worms crawling in my head, and i can also feel them in my neck. Yesturday i couldn't take anymore and went to the doctor. I told them about how i was having constipation and how everytime i went to the bathroom this tiny white round balls or whatever you wanna call it appeared in my stools, and how i often crave sweets, I lost wait so fast i think i've become anemic, I feel weak and tired and these headaches just keep getting worse. i can feel this things around my eyes, and my eyes are sensitive to light, i feel this terrible pain in my knees, but what bothers me most is the crawling worms in my head. I told the doctor about all these, and i asked about T. solium, he told me that we don't have such a thing in the U.S. He looked at me like i was crazy and told me to go see a doctor for depression. I feel worse everyday and i don't know what to do. i am loosing weight fast, and nothing that i eat fills me up. I go to the bathroom every three days, or every week. I feel miserable and i really don't know what to do. My parents are concern and i really don't know what to tell them. Does anyone know a natural cure for this, without the awful side-effects of epilepsy. PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS!!!!

Find a specialized parasite ND or Chinese Medicine they know that parasites hide and move from organ to organ, Trust me your MD may never ever find the parasites There are many ways to kill parasites first you have to make the terrain unpleasant for them you have to disrupt the entire life cycle and that can take over a year. I used strong Chinese formulas may act a fumigation to the body to kill them. Wormwood, and clove tinctures are important to attacking life cycle,
3/4 tsp Sea salt in glass of water take this four times may cause parasite to die from dehydration, Get micro- current or RIFE treatment it kills parasites. Ozone or sterile hydrogen peroxide IV's. Stop all sugar, sodas coffee dairy or flour, Stop eating food you may be allergic this decreases body inflammation so the body absords nutrition and immunity get stronger so it can fight. Take zinc, Vitamin B , selenuim and tons of vitamin C Eat things like cloves, cinnamon garlic raw Drink tons of kyolic liguie garlic drops in water helps

Dr. Hulda Clark's Formula for Pinworms

Hi everybody, I just wonder if the zapper is really dangerous for health? Does anybody have evidence of the side effects of the zapper to the health? I'm asking this question because I want to give it a try. Thank you very much.
Dr. Hulda Clark's Formula for Pinworms
Posted by Labes (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) on 07/24/2010
Still no answers about the side effect from the zapper? My grandfather who is 98 years old now was tortured by The French army using a high electric current on his both ears during the Algerian revolution in 1954 when he was 22 years old and he never had any problems after that except the pain during the torture. He is healthy like a young guy. So if a huge electric current used in the torture rooms had no side effect in my grandfather's health, I don't think a small zapper will be dangerous. I appreciate any information regarding the side effect of the zapper. Thank you very much.

Well I'll tell a little about my experience with the zapper. I bought the terminator II from Don Croft, it uses a low current. I bought it for, I guess a quick fix because it said while using it candida symptoms quickly disappear. I have been using it for almost two months and the only thing I really noticed was better sleep and waking up more refreshed. Then again I'm only 21 with no real serious health concerns so that's all I can say. I don't really have anything bad to say about it.

Posted by Labes (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) on 07/31/2010
Hi Rob, You are right about the false claims. I just gave a look about how much money did Dr Hulda Clark make is incredible. There is also alot of AIDS patients almost died from her remedies and false claims. The other reason I believe that Dr Hulda Clark was a charlatan because of the zapper which was invented by Dr Bob Beck and gained success with Hulda Clark marketing. Me I'm in the middle, I believe that some pharmaceutical drugs are extremely important as well as some holistic approach. However, just recently I read a scientific article from a Polish University where it says that Zapping kills Candida in vitro. And that's why I asked if any body used the Zapper against Fungus infection. As I did mention before Candida doesn't have any cellulose membrane and yet a lot of companies are selling enzymes claimed to destroy the cellulose of Candida. Also, I'm very skeptical about the Alkaline theory because there is 0 proof that the blood can become alkaline. It's just a myth but people do believe in those myths. The Blood PH can not change more that 7. 4. Any change means death ( Alkaline or acidic).

Dear Mary, Ppinworms can be controled easily by fresh garlic. The problem with pinworms is that they can be a vector to Dientamoeba. fragilis that can causes Dientaoebiasis which is a very bad disease, usually mistaken for Crohn's disease or IBS or Colitis.
2 g of secnidazol or 1500 mg of humatin can work better.

Hi Alice,
I just ordered Humaworm and am iterested in hearing more about your experiences with it. I'm curious about what your conditions were before the cleanse, how you felt during the cleanse, if you felt much different after the cleanse, and any other notable info. I would be appreciative of any info as I embark on this month long cleanse.
I've never done a parasite cleanse and will be doing a Humaworm cleanse because I have always had very poor digestion, and a naturopath suspects I have celiacs disease. This may be far fetched but after some research I thought the damaged and calloused villi in celiacs disease looks a lot like a possible intestinal parasite attacking, and biting the intestinal wall.
Thanks,
Maria
