You might look into it. Search for zapper , or Dr. gives directions on how to make one yourself. www..net or .org Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Bernie, Colonics are supposed to clear parasites. Also, they sell colon cleansers at the health food store. One that a friend of mine had success with was called " Ultimate Cleanse " . Here is a post from a different board with an interesting experience. Bonnie's Story Hello - I want to share what I've gone through the past 3+ years with Candida overgrowth, food allergies, chronic fatigue, etc., and tell you what finally, finally, at long last helped me heal. I hope that my story may help some of you, or at least give you and/or your doctor another angle to consider. I'll try to keep it short, while still giving you as much information as possible. Here goes... I've felt bad since 1987 when I went off to college. I'd sleep all afternoon (particularly after lunch), and just didn't have any energy. I started drinking lots of coffee at this point for a boost in order to make it through college and also to alleviate the constipation problem I began to have. Over the next 4 years I developed food allergies (wheat, corn, yeast...) and developed a vaginal yeast infection that wouldn't go away. Somehow, I managed to keep moving at graduate from a difficult school (Georgia Tech), work, serve in offices in various organizations at college, etc. I think it was the sheer will to " not miss out of life just because I feel bad " that kept me going. After graduating from college, I had a couple of jobs in which I traveled Sunday nights - Friday afternoons to other cities. Kept drinking the coffee (Starbucks became popular then, thank goodness!), trying to avoid the foods I was allergic to, but slept whenever and wherever I could. Got really good at falling asleep before the plane took off the ground. At age 27, I took a new job that required less travel, less hours at work, as I was starting to REALLY get tired and felt the pace I lived and work was too much for my health. After about a year at this new job, I'd slowed down enough so that I had time to really listen to my body. I was exhausted, had dark circles under my eyes, was very irritable and depressed, and felt bad every time I ate. I was starting to put on weight without changing anything. Felt like I was about 80, trapped in a 28-year-old body. My mother found a doctor nearby that seemed to help a friend of hers with similar complaints to mine. As you can imagine, I'd been to many, many doctors over the years; they either gave me antibiotics or told me I was depressed -sound familiar?! Anyway, this doctor was great; he thought my thyroid function was depressed from the overgrowth of yeast in my system. After running some blood tests for candida overgrowth and food allergies, I had a very high level of candida and was allergic to many, many foods. He put me on T4 thyroid and Diflucan, as well as a number of vitamin supplements and acidophilus. I started to feel better, lose weight, and the depression lifted. I continues on a food rotation diet (mostly sticking to it) for the next 9 months or so and continuted to feel good. About a year after starting the anti-candida protocol, I had lost about 15 pounds and felt very " jittery " . I weaned off the T4 (felt I was overdosing on it) and my doctor wanted to also take me off the 150 mg of Diflucan I had been taking daily. It's really hard on the liver, and I wanted to get off it if I could. I felt good for another 3 months following the food allergy diet and taking the supplements, but then all of my old symptoms and weight gain came back - this time much worse. I tried to doctor myself with Capryllic Acid, acidophilus, and diet, but I found that I literally could not stay away from sugar. I woke up every day vowed to " avoid it today " but never could. After living like this for about 8 months, I took a leave of absence from work and went back to the doctor that had helped me a year before. He started me on everything again -this time on Sporanox instead of Diflucan - but I was not improving. The T4 was not helping, the Sporanox was not reducing the levels of Candida in my blood, and I still couldn't stay away from sugar. Somehow, over this crazy year or so, I'd begun dating an old, dear friend of mine and we'd become engaged. We were living in Atlanta at the time, and both felt it was time to leave the city. He was tired of the crowds, traffic, etc. and I felt that clean air and a slower pace of live would help my health. So, we moved to Montana! Arrived out here this past April, got married, found a log home in the mountains and settled in. Initially, I did feel better (I attribute it to the clean air) but my old symptoms returned. I decided that I wanted to treat my problems naturally, and not get back on medication. I found an ND in the next town and she ran an interesting test (can't remember for the life of me what it's called but I can find out if anyone is interested) which measured body temperatures at various pressure points throughout the body. (The Europeans use this test instead of a mamogram). The results indicated that " something " was stressing out my entire body. She suggested that I have the mercury fillings removed from my teeth, as heavy metal poisoning may be the cause. I thought " why not; can't hurt! " and had all 8-10 of them removed the following week. IMMEDIATELY, my sinuses cleared up and my headache I'd had for 10+ years went away. But, still couldn't eat many foods (or shouldn't), craved the sugar, had trouble losing weight...you know the story. At a local health food store I picked up a magazine about health issues and resources in the area. An article on colon hydrotherapy got my attention. Before leaving Atlanta, I had had several colonics and would feel better for a few hours afterwards. So, I decided to give it another try. Again, like the mercury, thought " can't hurt! " I made an appointment and met with the colon hydrotherapist before the first session. I told her about my battle with Candida overgrowth, and she asked me where I had traveled to, and if I liked to go camping. Huh? Why was that important? I told her I'd been to South America a couple of times, the Carribbean several times, spent a summer in Great Brittain, traveled another time to Europe, spent 2 weeks backpacking in the Grand Canyon 6 years ago...and perhaps some other places. And, yes, I told her, I always tried the local food and tried to be careful about drinking bottled water, but it wasn't always available (especially in Patagonia!). She said " you know, in my experience, anyone I've ever seen with Candida always has parasites. " Huh? I'd heard of them but I don't have pets, and just never considered them. Well, she started me on a series of colonics, asked me to try and avoid dairy (produces mucus in the body and she was pulling a lot of that out of me!), and gave me a couple of tinctures/supplements to take. One kills candida, one is a colon cleanser (sort of like a psyllium, etc. blend) and the other 2 kill parasites. I am learning that parasites eat candida and/or produce it. I am thinking that, for me, all the Diflucan and Sporanox in the world couldn't get rid of my candida overgrowth because I had these parasites. WOW. Let me say it again. WOW. About 2 weeks into the protocol I started passing what looked like Giardia. Then came the hookworms. Then came something she's never seen before. They are all sent off to the parasitic institute in Arizona for accurate identification. I find this really disgusting, but I literally feel like a new person with this treatment. My dark circles are disappearing, I have lost about 6 pounds over the past month, I am running again - for the first time in a long, long time, I wake up smiling everyday just because I don't feel bad, and - the best part - I no longer crave sugar! There's a gallon of Breyer's ice cream in the freezer right now and cookies on the counter (I can see them...) but I don't even want them. It's not a struggle anymore. Anyway, that's my story. I am not saying that we all have yucky parasites, but it was what finally worked for me. Removing the mercury probably helped some, but I think the key for me was getting rid of the parasites. I don't know if you've thought this way, but over the past few years I keep trying to get to the " root cause " of all this. I know I've found the answer for me. Although the past years have been very trying (and I am not quite out of the woods yet - takes about 3+ months to kill the " uninvited guests " ), I am glad I can share my story with other people. And the best thing about feeling better, in my opinion, is knowing how bad things were when you don't have your health, and imagining what all is possible with good health. I'm not just trying to survive each day anymore, I am actually living. Thanks...good luck to all. > My son has been having digestive problems lately so I had some tests > done.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 I am not sure if this is the best way, but it did seem to work ( I think). My daughter used Tricycline from Allergy Research Group, one capsule during breakfast, one capsule at dinner time. Took one culturelle during afternoon snack. This was prescribed by a nutrition doctor. I don't know if this will work for the particular parasite you mentioned. mt Bernard Windham wrote: > My son has been having digestive problems lately so I had some tests > done.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Dear , No, this will not rule out parasites. My daughter was hospitalized for the dehydration from giardia. Her regular pediatrician thought it was a long lasting flu. I took her somewhere else and she was immediately hospitalized. It took four stool tests after she was released to find the problem. GSDL claims to have better testing, they're a specialty lab, but parasites have a life cycle and there are other reasons they can be hard to spot. If you suspect a parasite, find a local lab and keep rerunning the test. It was the same story with my pregnant neighbor at the same time this was going on with my daughter. She was at the point of hospitalization and they caught the giardia on the third test, I think. I believe all my children, my husband and myself, and her other four children and her husband were significantly exposed. There was a backyard kiddy pool and some not yet potty trained children and all the germ passing that comes with very young children in both families. I think everyone else just passed off the parasite. My neighbor was pregnant and that changes the immune system, etc., and my daughter had always fallen to anything intestinal until we caught up with her food allergies.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Everyone has his or her own version of what works for them & that is what we are doing letting people deceide for themselves. What works for one person maybe will not work for another. as for taking 15 different kind of pills, thats not bad! it depends on what they are, are you doing the diet strict? when you have an overgrowth of yeast USUALLY you may have micro-mini parasites to, so when cleaning up the yeast you clean up the parasites as well. now some people may have more of an abundance or parasites & different kinds. Of course i'm telling you what my " Internet Dr " told me, & i feel he is very knowledgable, his name is michael biamonte you should find his site under Candida, read ALL his literature, print it out and study it! i'm not telling you to contact him, do the research and you'll see how smart this yeast is and what your up against! it won't go away in a few months, I have had this since i was a child & i am 59 now & only within the last 5 yrs was i able to find out what it was! Dr's are not the best source of information, unless of course you have one that will acknowledge he knows what candida is & what it can do & how to treat it! Properly! I hope this helps you understand it bettter, just let us know ! Mog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Well, if u have parasites, this issue must be adressed, alongside with candida. U can have them for years without " feeling " them or getting any direct clue I cannot tell for you, but after seeing all the worms I've expelled in the last days, I don't wonder anymore how come I've been treating candida unsuccessfully these last months, even though doing it correctly. If I mentioned the site ia.com, it's because there were explanations too there, but these main anti-parasite herbs (black walnut, wormwood & cloves) can be found on many places and under many brands. For instance, I've ordered mine on http://beseen.net/BeHealthy/order.htm , I didn't mean to promote any special source. But maybe promoting these herbs, taken together, yes, in case of parasite infection At 13:27 9/10/01 -0400, you wrote: >you guys have me all confused now......

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Basically, ph is important. Parasites thrive in an acid enviroment, as does all disease. Most people are overly acid. Now the bodies first choice for fighting acidity is calcium, and so if your system is acid, calcium is the first place to go to rectify that. But not all calciums are alkaline forming. C lactate is acid forming. And not all calciums are desirable because they are too crude and not well absorbed and cause problems. My two favorites are coral calcium/mag and trace minerals, and then calcium orotate. I am sure there are other good ones that people on this list might use. I just have had a really hard time finding ones that my body liked. For me coral is the first choice and cal oro the second. Also, you don't want to take calcium alone. It should be with magnesium or you can wack your electrical system out. Also, some symptoms of low magnesium are poor digestion, sleeplessness and weepiness or emotions on edge, anxiety. Mag is foundational for hormones and many body functions. And, since most people don't get enough trace minerals, ideally, you want to supplement those also. So, once again, coral wins out for me because it has all of the above in it in ionic form, which is the same as what occurs in the blood stream and so it is highly compatible and well absorbed. You can do a saliva test and see where your body is ph wise and if it is acid and you supplement with coral, you will see it go more alkaline in just days, and within a month you can totaly turn your ph around to a healthy state. Acid alkline is a very important topic. Otto Warburg won a nobel prize for his work that showed that cancer is caused by low oxygen due to high acid, which drives oxygen out of your cells. Cancer thrives in a low oxygen enviroment. It is anerobic. So you raise ph with calcium and oxygen comes back and cancer leaves. HoPe that isn't too much info. Smile. Donna parasites Donna you said that calcium level is very important to fight parasites but can you tell me more about that please ? Me too I have tried a lot of things to get rid of prostate and gallbladder problems but over the years I didn't improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware of any product that claims to be the only answer. There are tons of brands out there and the most important thing to consider is quality. Recommendations of brands, from other people is a great way of deciding which to try, as not all brands are created equal. There are many articles out there where certain herbs were tested and didn't always contain as much of the herb it claimed, or it contained " other " products as well, that weren't really beneficial, ie dirt, grass, etc. I cant even estimate the amount of money I have spent on all > these stupid supplements.... I'm taking like 15 different herbs for candida > now and I feel like total sh*t... It will take a lot of supplements to rebuild your immune system and eradicate the candida problem. Remember that when you have a candida overgrowth problem, you have a host of deficiencies. Once you can build up your minerals and make some headway in the war on candida, you will be able to eliminate some of the supplements. Candida causes you to have malabsorption problems, so as the candida starts to balance, you will absorb more nutrients from your foods and need less of them from your supplements. If you are feeling sick, you may want to try eliminating one supplement at a time, as its possible you are taking something that is making you feel that way. I had that problem with the two glandular extracts that my doctor put me on. As soon as I stopped taking them, I felt like a new woman! lol Everybody I ask recommends a different > type of supplement....

Of course, > she continues to eat well and takes supplements, but not nearly as many as > she did when she was sick. I have been where you are: confused at all that I have read and trying to make sense of it all. I recommend you read books, and not just little tidbits from the people on here, as the books usually go into great details in explaining things, and of course the more you read, the more things make sense and the easier it is to make wise choices.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 I am on several medicines, including valtrex, and my doctor thinks the only good herb is that male one. I know I have parasites, testing positive for Babesia, and candida. I also take several supplements, should I stop my supplements and do a yeast cleanse ant then the parasite treatment, I know I need to do something but don't know what. BTW, my doctor is an IM doc who I went to because he is Lyme Literate but he ran a PCR for Lyme and told me it was negative. I want to get a second opinion of the Lyme diagnosis, but don't know if I should get rid of the yeast and parasite too, Babesia is a Lyme co-infection. I am not sure which way to turn.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Mike, You are on a JOURNEY to health -- the whole body kind of health. You didn't likely get sick overnight, but got worse over time. Be encouraged. Be DETERMINED -- if you are angry -- turn that to the bad health, not the various choices of advice. By the way, parasites can be a contributor to candida -- parasites eat the GOOD BACTERIA! That is the open gate to candida overgrowth. God bless you!

You will need to make sure you rid your body of the toxic matter, so get plenty of fiber. You might need to add supplements such as bentonite clay and/or psyllium. I found colonics helped me with this problem. I also got a lot of headaches, but once I was able to get my bowels moving, the headaches went away. annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 When i brought my son to his ND last I asked if had parasites and they could tell in the live blood analysis he did. Maybe that is a way of anrrowing things down . To find a Naturopathic Dr. that does live blood analysis? ~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Ana, Parasites move and i can feel them, but also when i was going thru a die 0ff of yeast each day i could feel it going lower and lower in my body. sometimes my back would feel swollen when doing so. i talked to my internet Dr. and he has issued me some double strength liquid wormwood killer i should get it today. my parasites gave me a rash on my arm that 2 Dr's couldn't reconize, they blistered and itched & would have sharp pains thru out the arm. i quit my hormones & asked the Dr' if the yeast would come back now & he just said maybe or maybe not.we'll have to watch, usually the hormones need to be well balanced or they thrive! but do to me taking tamoxifen (from the cancer) you can't take the hormones.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Hi Mog and others, I have had very often a strange feeling like something is in my muscels in my legs working. I thougt it was candida because when I started the diet it stoped. But when I eat bred, sugar etc. it starts again. And I feel it mooves down in my body. Could it be parasits that I am feeling ? Thanks for help Ana __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 ana. you tend to lose weight at first when doing the diet, but trust me it will come back later! Mog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Dear Mog, could it be that because of parasits I was going very thin while I was on the anti candida diet so I couldnt do it anymore. I couldnt gain weight at all so I stoped the diet and started eating everything. But still I gained weigh very hard. Now I am ok with my weight but have to start the diat again cause I dont feel well.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 I have the same problem...... But its a little different and usually occurs right before I fall asleep..... Their like muscle twitches... Like my arms will just jerk really quickly for no reason while i'm resting or sleeping..... Does anybody else have this? This doesnt happen to me every night... Its interesting too because it happened to me after I ate another bowl of Froot Loops last night again......lol....
