Recently did parasite testing via ParaWellness.

Results showed Endolimax nana (protozoa), Giardia intestinalis (protozoa), Iodamoeba butschii (protozoa)
Yeast organisms (fungi).

Planning to do a parasite cleanse with the microbe formulas products. Curious if there's something else I should add.

The microbe formulas binders have really helped since starting them about a month ago.

I'm maybe like 65-70% now on a good day. Main issues left are gut (general uncomfortable feeling, bloating, nausea), fatigue/PEM and some lingering neuro inflammation. Really optimistic this might be the last piece to my chronic illness puzzle.

Oh wow glad you found the test helpful!

I had yeast and blasto. I took 1 day worth of tindimax, 2g, which I've been told is enough for protozoa. I'm sure it isnt. I didnt have a flare from it. Would like to retest and see if I need more. My naturopath told me she's had the best results, and least flares, using wormwood, blackwalnut and neem, which seems like theyre in the microbe formulas product. They def flared me, as all herbs do, so I stopped, but neuropathy is a bit of a different beast.

Would you consider tindi? Will you treat the yeast?

Keep us posted!

I'm going to see what my Doc recommends as far as prescription vs herbal. Either way I'm starting the microbe formulas products until then.

I imagine the yeast is something that would be treated after the parasites as they can harbor it. Which makes sense to me because I've done so many anti fungal herbals.

Will definitely keep this updated. Thanks for the input smile

Update: I’m 5ish days into the microbe formulas products and I passed some sort of worm. about 5 in long (may have been longer and broke apart). I can’t really identify it but I feel strongly it’s not a rope worm as I’ve seen those from coffee enemas.

Definitely noticed increase in fatigue/mood swings the first few days. Increased GI symptoms as well.

Wow! Do you have a pic?

Also which supplements exactly, I know they have a few, are you doing I’ve been considering doing one

I've had Giardia and had metronidazole works great, but I know it can become extremely resistant (the metronidazole) also the doc put me on albenza and god knows what's living in my gut because I experienced burning sensations in my stomach and chest while on the albenza and having babesia/bartonella I was thinking it was actually killing something off in their it's a strong possibility we never know what we're herxing from lol it was a nightmare. What I was thinking was babesia is a parasitic infection and albenza is prescribed for parasitic infections of the gut like ( tapeworms, and different stomach parasites) so since they're both parasitic infections I'm thinking it had some effect. Metro is usually used for protozoa infections, and oregano oil or the oregano capsules works really great. Also cilantro/basil/carrots and papaya kills off protozoa and also have some antiprotozoal properties

Probiotics also fixed my bacteria levels. Bifidobacterium keep away bad bacteria, help digest food, lowers bloating and gas, and keeps inflammation away. Make sure to take probiotics that have bifidobacterium in it.also lactobacillus, and u can have too much, like I had 99.9% lactobacillus found in my gut which is obviously way too much, these things are hard to balance and all the times I've been on metronidazole (it produces even more lactobacillus) or so I read

Sorry for the late reply. So I'm taking the mimosa pudica and the formula 1. I've been told mimosa pudica should not be taken alone. I've also purchased formula 2 but formula 1 is gentler and largely targets the gut as opposed to formula 2 acting more systemically (liver, lungs etc..). I plan to switch soon as I seem to be stabilizing at standard dosing in regards to the initial flare.

Also I've had many more worms. I can upload some pics if you'd like. I would have to warn you though they're not ascetically pleasing and there's stool in the picture due to it being in the toilet bowel. I've passed at least like 5 more worms and I'm 95% sure I found a liver fluke. One was a tape worm. One yesterday was close to a foot long. It's crazy

Seriously, one was a foot long? Can you post the picture of that one? This is insane, I’m almost wondering if you’re pulling my leg. And you had all these worms but the parawellness test didn’t pick up on any of it huh?

Para1 and para2 are great, especially for the helminth type parasites. Para3 is best for protozoa and blood borne pathogens!

Way to go getting out all those parasites!

The larger guys can be hard to find in tests.

Are you referring to the cell core products? It seems the microbe formulas are the same with different names. I.E mimosa pudica is para 1, formula 1 is para 2, and formula 2 is para 3.

Have you done the cleanse also?
Posted 6/12/2021 3:07 PM (GMT 0)
Is it helping your symptoms losik? Curious how you’re doing now? This is on my list of things to try

There’s no photo with that link you posted.

I’d like to see it - could you check the link?
Posted 6/12/2021 5:48 PM (GMT 0)
dcd- So the first 5ish days I definitely had herx like symptoms. I have some waves where I’m starting to notice differences but I think it’s too soon to say. The past 3 days I had some major motivation to clean my apartment and a bit more endurance than usual but sorta crashed yesterday. Plus I think formula 2 will be the game changer once I finish formula 1. Going low and slow. There’s some type of worm now 90% of the time when I dig in the bowel movement so I just stopped digging and am letting the process play out. As I’ve mentioned my whole story starts with GI issues and progresses systemically so this is all making so much sense. I’m expecting this process to take at least a few months. I’m also switching to Dr. A.C. In philly next month who I’m told is good with knowing how to treat this better (pharmaceuticals etc..).

Girlie- Not sure what happened to that link. I tried a different site and edited that old link. Let me know if it’s still not working.

loski are you sure that’s an actual worm and not rope worm?

It’s possible but I’ve seen rope worms from coffee enemas and they looked different/were more on the outside of the stool. From my understanding rope worms are more in the colon region? And this was well impacted in the stool which suggests it came from higher up.

I’ve also had different looking worms come out. That one was just the longest.

I guess I’d want to make sure it’s not the gelatinous substance of the mimosa pudica. Have you actually took one out and washed it off and verified there’s a long white work in it and not just some jelly?

Not saying they’re not worms, just that the pic was interesting and def possible but not 100% convincing and would want to be certain before you go through all that trouble of seeing new drs and stuff. I hope they’re worms as it really gives you a target to attack!
Posted 6/12/2021 7:28 PM (GMT 0)
I have not. That was a step too far for me haha

There was one where you could see the little segment like lines it, seen in tapeworms. Kinda hard to see in the pic but it’s there.

Here’s a few more but view discretion is advised.

https://ibb.co/r2NxjJq -> possible tape worm. Segments reflecting in the light.
