Re: A Bit Of My Story (well, maybe more than a bit)
Hi Hopsino, Humaworm, and Everyone,
I've been reading a lot over the past 2 weeks or so as I completed my first 10 day Master Cleanse last week and have been thinking of doing a liver flush. Thanks so much for sharing your stories. I'd love to hear what you thoughts are on mine...
Last fall I started with this very weird chest congestion that wouldn't go away. I'm pretty healthy, eat well, and I rarely go to the Dr except for routine physicals every couple of years. Hate taking medicine, even over the counter. Anyway, after 2 months of trying to kick it, I went to my doctor, she did an xray and my chest was clear. She decided it was allergies or asthma. I thought that was very strange as I never had any problems like that before. She wanted to put me on asthma medication, but I passed and figured it would go away eventually--and it would, but then return ever couple of weeks. I just thought the whole thing was weird. I'd get this awful cough, yet not much phlegm would come up. And no one else in the family caught it.
So anyway, I'm still struggling with this almost a year later. I did the master cleanse thinking that might clear me up, and I did feel a lot better, but after I broke the fast It came back strong. I did notice something weird in my "elimination" on on day 5 or 6. It looked like a skinny earthworm, maybe 4 " long. I poked at it and it seemed to fall apart so I figured it was just a rolled up piece of mucus?
But them the other night I hacked up this odd, long string of phlegm during one of my cough attacks. It was whitish/clear but odd as it was not a blob (sorry I know this is gross.)
Now I'm wondering if I have roundworm as I read it can go up into your lungs. I also have a non-flat belly. I've been trying to lose 20-30 lbs after having 3 kids, each 2 years apart, and honestly, 80% is in the stomach area. I also had a bout of depression over the past year and a half. This all points to parasites from what I've read, though I've never really had any digestive issues such as constipation or diarrhea. And I've always had dogs in the household, even in childhood, fyi.
Any thoughts? I'm willing to try a parasite cleanse, but have been trying to figure out which one. Humaworm sounds pretty good. Does the whole family have to be treated or can I wait to see if after taking it I show signs I'm infected?
Thank so much for your help. Best, SG
