Yes, it could be. It has been a guessing game for me the past 8 months. First we thought it was Giardia, then we thought it was yeast, then I passed a worm that looked similar to a Tapeworm so that is what I thought we had.

We have taken in numerous lab samples and all have come back negative. We even took in worms we had passed and the doctors would not even look at them. One doctor has at least tried to help by prescribing us Albenzadole and Praziquantel. He understands that the labs are very unreliable.

Next I am going to try Ivomectin. Maybe it will do the trick for me. My wife still seems to have killed her parasites. Her stomach is back to feeling normal. Although we have kinda forgot what normal was. She simply took 9oo mg of Praziquantel. It was prescribed by the doctor. I can tell the prescribed stuff is more potent than what we order online but it is very expensive.

I have read were others have not gotten sick, with a virus, so yes, I think there is something to it. I do believe that it is our immune systems have become over run and can't fight it so we don't really get symptoms or it could be that the parasite itself does not thrive in a virus infected host and eradicates the virus itself.

I don't know but one thing I do know is that there needs to be way more research on parasites. I know I am preaching to the choir but I believe like a lot of you do, that parasites will become an epidemic world wide, not just in third world countries. My wife and I are fairly well off, very clean and healthy people. So if we can get infected, then anyone can too.

It worries me that you had a DNA test come back negative. I thought that was my last hope for a positive test. My next attempt at diagnosing this was to send a sample to a lab in Asheville NC for extensive testing. That lab is recommended on this site.

With that said, my wife still seems to be rid of her parasite. She is not having any digestive problems for close to a week. She still has a cold, which she got from our kids. I am a firm believer that whatever we have keeps us from getting a virus or allergies. I always get some type of cold during the winter and this winter I have hardly even had a sniffle.

The dosage for the Praziquantel depends on what type of worm we have. I was prescribed 25mg/kg. I weigh 210lbs (225lbs before all this started) so I took 2100 mg of the Prazi. I took a dose of the prescribed Prazi and contined to take Prazi I got online from a fish store for 3 days. I gave my wife a smaller dose, of 15mg/kg. She just did a one time dose. Her diet is slightly different from mine so if she stays symptom free I will post her diet and vitamins she takes.

As for the diatomaceous earth we have both tried it. It really did nothing for us. Everyone is different so it may help someone else.

Other symptoms I had with the parasite is tightness in my jaws. I had this for the first 4 or 5 months. Since I started the Praziquantel and Albenzadole, I have not had the tightness in my jaw. Also my sleep pattern has been disrupted. I wake-up every night at around 2:00. This did not happen before the infection. Lastly if I poop in the morning it is runny, if I poop in the afternoon it is more firm. I believe this is because whatever I have is more active at night.

Let's keep each other informed of our progress or setbacks. We need to get rid of this parasite before it causes more severe health problems. I am afraid we have already started to have other problems. My wife and I both are having back pain. This seems very odd to me, we both are in excellent condition and I wonder if it is another side effect. I will let everyone know of the progress/setbacks. Thank for everyone's input.
