Was just treated for parasites but think its back - anyone familiar with this?
Hello Fellow Board Members I could very much use your insights on this.
Two years ago I was repeatedly exposed to sewage backing-up into my apartment. It wasn't massive amounts but within a few weeks of the first couple of incidents I started having some odd symptoms that led to me becoming mostly unable to function.
It started with pressure in my midsection that ultimately made me dizzy and feignt, that lead to a distended/bloated lower abdomen that lasted for a few weeks plus lots of gurgling in my lower abdomen. I only recently came to learn that those are prime
parasite symptoms. This all led to ongoing gassiness, a tearing sensation in my gut right below my lungs, galbladder discomfort, sharp pains in my sides and feelings of nausea. Four doctors later no one had found a
parasite despite looking and concluding that this is what likely had happened. Though from my taking Goldenseal and being flushed by one doctor, everything seemed to calm down and go away.
For a good year plus I became exhausted - I would feel good and go to the gym and then come home and feel like I needed a short a nap and end-up sleeping for 3 hours. I felt like I was running out of life force energy - the will to get up and go do things. I'd have the best of intentions but could just keep sleeping or feel too tired to tackle things. I also still had some odd tension sensations in my lower abdomen and in my urinary tract that would come and go.
All of a sudden this fall I kept getting what seemed like a flu/virus - with chills and feverish symptoms - though nothing registered on a thermometer. A cough started to develop as well. The cough became extremely powerful. And with medicines the viral component seemed to taper off (though it happened 3 times within a month or so), but the cough was horrible and remained and I started having dizziness again, and I had a weakened sensation in my lungs. After some research I found that a cough can be linked to
parasites and that some
parasites have a pulmonary phase.
I immediate went to see Dr Cahill and he found whip worm and E. Hystolitica. He also told me that
parasites have dormant phases, so that it was quite possible that this was all connected - and he also verified that some parasites have a pulmonary phase. I took Albendazole and Tinitizole. I saw a few things come out and the breathing issues subsided, my energy started coming back, etc. I also noted what looked like an a small brown and semi clear thing come out of each nostril at one point - suddenly I could breathe through my nose again which hadn't been the case for years. I've seen more of those since as well.
A week passed and my lower gut started very noisy gargling all over again - like I hadn't had in 2 years, I became quite gassy and now my stomach is distended. At the start of the gargling I started using
Colloidal Silver that I had left in the house, taking garlic, eating pineapple and taking Vitamins A, D and C. Yesterday I passed 4 large whip worms - about an
inch in length. I didn't pass anything that big while on the Albendazole. I finished all of the medicine about a week and a half ago.
At this point I have no idea if I'm reinfected and the
Colloidal Silver is working to some degree? I was worried about eggs remaining, but Albendazole supposedly kills the eggs too? And the whip worms that I passed yesterday are too big to be newcomers. I'm also finding a few small while things - that appear to be eggs around the anus area (they are the size of a few grains of sand but not sliceable with a fingernail). Also, I have seen whip worm in my urine, but not in my stool, along with what I thought might be threadworm - but those could just be baby whip worms? I did see whip worm eggs in my stool before and while taking albendazole. (They looked like sesame seeds so I thought they could be
Tapeworm - but some were a darker color and I've only seen one egg in my stool in the past several days whereas before my stool was loaded with them - at least to my amateur eye - they were all consistent shape size and coloring and plentiful.)
I'm awaiting a
parasite detox from Life Tree. It sounded like a good thing to try as I spoke to someone with the company at length and they said that the herbal mixture they've created changes your blood to alkaline - and thus kills all parasites not just targeting a specific one - incase there are others.
I'm probably heading back to Dr Cahill early next week as well. I think he must be onto something since all the more recent symptoms that I went to see him for seem to have gone with taking the medication.
Advice welcome, though I've been reading these boards for a month now and have found what's here overwhelming. If you do give recommendations I ask that you please also share dosage (how much each day) and for how long?
And if you have any information on ordering medicine online I could very much use it. If I'm prescribed more Albendazole I'm not sure what I'll do - it's more than $100/pill.
I so appreciate everyone's help!
