MSM has seemed to help with my infestation, however I may have not been taking enough. I came across this on msm-info.com
Parasites
One of the most amazing discoveries on MSM is its anti-parasitic action against Giardia, Trichomonas, roundworms, nematodes, Enterobius and other intestinal worms (5). Animal studies include laboratory mice, determined to have pin worms (Enterobius) by fecal cast examination. They were given commercial food and drinking water, both containing 2% MSM by weight. After 17 days, fecal examination indicated the feces were free of worms and eggs. The blood level of MSM in one animal examined exceeded 30 ppm or mg/kg (3). Human studies include a man with confirmed Giardia lamblia, apparently contacted from contaminated water in a primitive area. He was given 500 mg MSM three times a day for 14 days. By the eighth day he was free of symptoms, and two stool specimens collected one week later were free of the organism (3). In another study, Trichomonas vaginalis was successfully treated by oral dosage of 1 gram MSM a day, and a daily topical application of 5% aqueous MSM for one week (3).
The major antiparasitic property of MSM is probably caused by its ability to bind to the mucosa and present a natural blocking interface between hosts and parasites. It's as though MSM puts down a coating on the mucosa, which parasites find impenetrable and can't cling to. Unable to stick, the parasites are simply flushed out of the body (5, 9). In vitro research has shown the antiparasitic, antifungal and antibacterial action of MSM concentrations. MSM concentrations of 1 mg/mL and less demonstrated no significant inhibition of Giardia lamblia. However, at 20 mg/mL concentrations it was strongly inhibitory, and concentrations above 40 mg/mL promptly killed the organism. According to Dr. Herschler, one can safely administer up to 1-2 gram MSM per kg body weight on a daily basis. One therefore builds a safely tolerated blood level up to 4000 ppm (mg/kg), which level is highly toxic to many infective organisms yet is harmless to the host (3).
A growing number of natural physicians are expressing concerns about parasites. It is becoming increasingly clear that they can be a continuous source of poisoning which can spread throughout the body and affect the immune system. It is an intriguing thought thatDOSAGES AND USAGE
The optimal dosage depends on the nature and intensity of the complaints. In most cases, it is sufficient to take an initial dose of three 1-gram tablets twice daily (children ten and under take a tablet twice daily, older than ten, take two tablets twice daily). After several months this dosage can be reduced to two tablets twice daily. People with serious ailments have been shown to benefit from higher dosages, up to four 1-gram tablets three times daily. Such a high dosage may be advised to fight parasital infections. Case studies have been reported in which patients did not show noticeable improvement until they received a daily dosage of 30 grams (6). Such extreme dosage is not generally recommended for most people, although no negative effects were reported (3,6).
It is recommended to gradually increase the dosage from two tablets twice daily, and not to increase the dose as long as detoxification symptoms persist. Although uncommon, these symptoms may include nausea and headaches (see below). MSM is best taken with a glass of water one half hour prior to taking a meal. As it tends to stimulate one's energy level, it is generally advisable not to take it prior to retiring for the night.
MSM maybe nature's original means of protecting us against parasites.
My cousins wife took some MSM and got really bad gas from it, so she stopped. I haven't had an opportunity to explain to her that is was probably because parasites were dying off, and she should lower the dose and keep taking it.
I took some and didn't feel a thing. I presume it was because I am fortunate, and I don't have the kinds of parasites that get sick from MSM.
I have written on MSM a few times, in short here are the three most important factors when taking MSM for parasites:
- Even small amounts of Mercury in blood neutralize sulfurs, this leaves the liver without sulfur that is required for peroxide production
- Worse, after the peroxides have done their job they need to be neutralized and this cannot occur without available sulfur, leaving the body over oxidized.
- Sulfurs are a major factor in cell integrity, more sulfur better cell strength/flexibility and easier to push oxygen between cells. Higher cell integrity also means it is much more difficult for critters like lyme to penetrate cell walls.
HI Newport,
There is so much to read and put together by a beginner that I have missed putting together some important stuff.
I found out on the forums that rinsing one's mouth out with H2O2 was a bad idea for the mercuric oxide? that was formed. I did this because I was waiting for a dental appointment for having 2 teeth out with Amalgam fillings in them. I grind my teeth at night and I guess in the daytime, too. So that is probably the reason for the bug population, mercury poisoning? and whatever else. The fillings are loose in 2 teeth, starting to get some food particles in there and I wanted to prevent an infection. NOT good to rinse the mouth out with hydrogen peroxide in this case.
I got so angry at my dentist a few years back for wanting to put a huge amalgam filling in one back tooth. Nothing to oppose it on top, but dentist said it was "better" to keep all the teeth I could. BS!! It is MY mouth, and I wanted the tooth out. I hate fighting with people, but it looks like that's what you have to do to preserve your health. Then you have to find a dentist who agrees with you to do it. So I am probably looking at mercury as being the real culprit here and compromised health with parasitic infestation as well as having my back yard full of the slugs in rainy weather. I am getting the 3 teeth OUT! Everyone hates to lose their natural teeth, but better to have dentures in the long run that ruin your health.
So taking the MSM is a GOOD thing before I have my teeth out? Or will my body just not use it? What is the lyme you are talking about? Thank you.
>> So taking the MSM is a GOOD thing before I have my teeth out?
Yes, large doses of MSM 3x1500mg plus +600mcg Selenium (L-Selenomethionine).
Also Iodine to whatever you can tollerate because it will stop the merc from digging into important parts like your brain.
If you have the money you can add some R-Lipoic time release like this one.
Too expensive to use just to neutralize Mercury but the time release goes for 8-12hrs so it covers any holes:
Keep in mind that if no anti-oxidants are available it will chew up anything it can get a hold off like Vitamin A,E and when nothing is left it will over oxidize aka grey hair...
Great reference with the pharmokinetics! I had added alpha lipoic acid to my regimen, but I think the quality wasn't so good. Not really understanding WHY it was so important. If you don't understand all the "whys", then you're not so apt to understand the importance of keeping up with the antioxidants. I am beginning to understanding the relationship in all this. Thanks again!
I just found out that the 1 and a half inch long, 1/8 inch in diameter carrot stick "thingy" I passed on day 7 wasn't a parasite after all. It was a gall stone blocking the common bile duct. I don't know if I am posting in the right place here. This is after my first liver flush 8 days ago. Now maybe part of the "door" has been opened up for the critters to pass and the party will be slowing down for them. I also found 4 pieces of what looked like chewed up carrots.
Whhhhhhhoooooooooeeeeeee!!! Another success without the offer of a prescription for antidepressants. Thanks, folks!!
