Parasites?

Hi friends,

I'm seeing a lot of people mention parasites. Could you elaborate on this? Are you talking about parasites in the gut or systemic ones? With my drastic weight loss and inability to gain, I've been tested for parasites but always come up negative. I also don't have any GI distress. My doctors have said that I would be very ill if I had parasites but it's one of the first things they mention when I tell them of my weight (and huge appetite). Once I test negative, they dismiss it. I'd be really interested to hear what you all know regarding parasites. And is there a simple solution that would kill them but not harm you if you didn't have them? (I hope I'm making sense). Thanks very much. Be well!

Garlic is number one. Will kill and not hurt you at all. You clean the garlic and cut it. Let it sit for a few minutes for its goodness to arrive. You can then eat it. If you can't handle the chewing, cut it small enough to be pill size and swallow like a pill

Pumpkin seeds, pineapple, papaya and seeds, onions, jalapeno peppers, fermented foods, coconut and carrots.

You do want to watch out for constipation issues with using any binders, like Diatomaceous Earth, activated charcoal and others. Constipation will allow toxins that are on their way out of our body to be reabsorbed through the intestinal walls.

I just came across this recipe last night while I was doing school work. It's something I was thinking I'll do:
Garlic Honey

Ingredients

3 fresh, organic garlic bulbs
Raw, local wildflower honey
Clean, sterilized, dry jar and lid

Directions

Peel and separate the cloves and chop finely or grate, then let sit 10 minutes.Fill a jar about half full with chopped garlic cloves then cover with honey.Poke through the honey with a sterilized, dry spoon to make sure that all of the garlic is well saturated.Label with a description of the contents and the date it was made.Can let it sit for a few weeks, but can also take immediately.For topical application, apply directly to wound and cover with a clean bandage at least twice a day. Essential oils of sage, thyme, rosemary, or tea tree can be added for enhanced potency.For internal use, spread 1 tablespoon on a piece of bread and eat, or place into tea twice a day during active infection.

Antibiotic use will cause weight loss and prevent you from gaining it back unless you eat serious calories. I've been on abx for 2+ years and I'm still 20 pounds below when I started. My wife has lost a lot of weight as well and she's been on them for 9 months.

To hit parasites along with bacteria flagyl or tinidazole is a common prescription. There are lots of natural remedies to hit them also. I did a 30 day round of Humaworm and I got no reaction from any of it. I have no GI issues either so I'm pretty sure I'm parasite free (well at least the nasty ones) well except for babesia which is a parasite but not in the context we're using here.

Although for me the weight loss happened as soon as I got Lyme and didn't resolve until I started treatment.

Hi BeKindPls -

Great info already posted… just wanted add something about testing -

What kind of testing did you have done? Parasitic testing is somewhat hit-or-miss (why don't most MDs know this??). You have to choose the parasite you want to test for and then cross your fingers that it will show up. And that means you're shooting in the dark for what to test for.

I'm in the camp that assumes most everyone has normal levels of harmless parasites - they're in our food, water, etc. And if we're healthy, our bodies deal with them effectively. Our grandparents used to de-worm every year w/ simple herbal protocols and I think that's probably a good thing to do.

But totally agree w/ Traveler that we can really stir a hornet's nest if we are not well and start disrupting parasitic life in our bodies. I was too aggressive (before I started Lyme & Co treatment) and went on a cleanse, literally starving them and me… After a couple days I prepared a meal to eat and - I kid you not - I had the fork held up to my mouth - before taking a bit - and I felt my entire insides LURK or jump towards those yummy fumes. I think that was a sign that I had some parasite issues.

There are a couple of good OTC herbal blends you can buy at the health food store if you want to explore your reactions.

You mentioned you don't have any GI issues - but it's obvious something is preventing you from digesting properly. Unfortunately, gastro issues are yet another thing MDs don't understand, don't know how to diagnose or treat. A naturopath might be a better fit if you have parasitic issues. If the issue seems to be more mechanical, then I'd try to find a gastroenterologist. 70-80% of your immune system is the mucosal lining of the gut, so if there are issues there, it's an uphill battle w/ any treatment since we consume most everything orally, relying upon our digestive process.

"I could only wish to be constipated lol💩 "




No you don't...lol.

You think that ... until it happens to you... I used to think that way, too...until it did happen to me - thanks to codeine in the T 3's.

hubby warned me - that i should take something to keep me "going" but I didn't listen...

Must be my "altered" anatomy.

I can't remember the last time I was constipated.

Love this 💩 icon ....

I look for poop threads so I can use it

Ok yeah I'm really with it here lol 💩

Wow, such great insight from all of you, thank you. I just remembered something my LLMD told me at our appointment last time. He said he has patients who have lost weight and can't gain because the Lyme has actually embedded itself into the lining of the stomach and GI tract. And no tests or imaging will show this. Yuk! Girlie, that could explain why you were able to gain after starting treatment. I look forward to the same. Thanks, all. I appreciate your help

No I don't blue - but things are looking better in that department now.

I used to "go" a few times a day as well - I think it was all moving too fast through me. (Not diarrhea tho)


My b12 levels are good - but have read the blood test doesn't mean much.

IDK - there's just so many things to be concerned about - makes me crazy.

When I talk of parasites I am not referring to anything specific because I don't think it has been identified/revealed yet. I have had a great response to alinia and now tinidazole and assume it is going after some variety of parasite. I also have seen things come out of my nose and the other end...nothing that moves visibly though. Look on curezone thats the kind of stuff i deal with, they call them ropeworms. I have also found some interesting things from googling lyme nematode and also filarial worms. Something is definitely plugging up my lymph nodes regularly and I often wonder about the filarial worm connection. I am going to get around to taking pics of my specimens (not for the faint of heart)

Post the pics doors12 ,i aint scared ....poopy emoji
