Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hi, my son has got Ascaris which is a round warm. His condition has improved since treatment but we still fighting with it. You can get tests on NHS but in our case always came back negative so we go back home(Poland) and have the tests there.AgnieszkaSent using BlackBerry® from OrangeSender: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:01:31 -0000To: <Autism-Biomedical-Europe >ReplyTo: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Subject: Parasites Hello, another general question from a newbie!I'm wondering whether my son (Aspergers) has some parasites issues. We did have a stool test done about a year ago which said that he didn't have any parasites - this was through Geneva Diagnostics and it seems from the report that they looked for 'Cryptosporidium', 'Giardiala mblia' and 'Entamoeba histolytica/dispar'. A dietician I spoke with recently said that in her experience children who react badly to probiotics (which my son does) tend to have parasite problems. So I'm wondering, are there any other parasites that should be looked for? Does anyone know if it's possible to test for these things on the NHS? Thanks again for any advice!Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi does anyone has a good protocol for parasites that would like to share? DS tested positive for them....I just want to get rid of them eurggggg..... fun enough is DS having good amount of all vit and minerals and still tests show low absorption ....I guess I am feeding the bugs This has nothing to do with acycloir but I have been reading about worms excreting loads of ammonia. (You mentioned beow high levels) High ammonia excreted by helminths (worms) is talked about in this article. http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/3279114?uid=3738032 & uid=2 & uid=4 & sid=47698923098517 Maybe the high levels seen often in the kids has something to do with parasites. The same parasites could be taking full use of the supplements given including the zinc, selenium, vitamin A which are all good anti-virals. So while one may be thinking that one is giving plenty of supplements, they actually may not be for the child's use after all. It's not a nice thought but it's one I think should be taken seriously. A child with immunity problems and constipation is very vulnerable to parasites. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I am trying wormwood and black walnut hulls tinctures but going very cautiously, ie starting out very low.Did anyone see the programme 'Monsters inside me' recently. I wasn't aware that the immune system will mount a defence against parasites. It also set me thinking about my dog's behavior in the last while. She seems to have an itchy bottom. The signs are there for worms. <SIGH>You cannot escape parasites it seems as they are everywhere and anywhere, often invisible in the egg form. You can only bolster the defence system. It's hard to find anything on that aspect. Pubmed doesn't have much except maybe how to kill them. I have read that roughly grated pumpkin seeds will go in and tear up the critters..It's very difficult to know if you've got them all as the stool tests will only detect what has come out.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Not a standard view but depending on what they are, I'd leave them be. We had a real catastrophic crash with herbal parasite treat,ents - if we'd lived in the middle ages Tom would have been burnt as possessed Parasites can come back immediately and getting rid is painful and can release mercury We did fine with flagyl and are currently using tiinizadole which is apparently part anti parasitic but wormwood type things sent Tom right off the scale, beyond the scope of " first do no harm " which I guess is everyone's basic mantra > > > Hi > does anyone has a good protocol for parasites that would like to share?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I am finding very very little on parasite infections in the U.K. unless I am using the wrong key words. I found this though which shows a highish prevalence of pinworms (in some communities) in USA and Europe.Int J Dermatol. 2005 Oct;44(10):837-40.Assessment of frequency, transmission, and genitourinary complications of enterobiasis (pinworms).Burkhart CN, Burkhart CG.SourceDepartment of Dermatology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.AbstractBACKGROUND: Pinworms are the most common helminth infection in the USA and Western Europe, with prevalence rates in some communities of as high as 30-50%. Pinworms generally live in the gastrointestinal tract, and helminth infestations have been noted in over one-quarter of acute appendectomies on histologic examination. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Although transmission is often attributed to the ingestion of infective eggs by nail biting and inadequate hand washing, inhalation and ingestion of airborne eggs also occur. The female Enterobius vermicularis migrates nightly to the perianal area to deposit her eggs, but some worms find their way into adjacent orifices, most commonly the female genitourinary tract, producing an array of symptoms. More consideration of this entity is justified in patients presenting with genitourinary complaints not responding to normal therapies. In the treatment of pinworms affecting genitourinary organs, treatment with possibly two oral agents, namely mebendazole and ivermectin, and a topical therapy for the eggs may be warranted.PMID:16207185 Recent Activity: New Members 5 Visit Your Group DISCLAIMER No information contained in this post is to be construed as medical advice.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi , Thanks for this. Threadworms have been a huge issue for my daughter for many years - probably contributed to her gut issues - constipation/bloating etc. From this she may have more severe issues than I realised. May explain why she is still experiencing problems. Also probably contributed to the constant UTI's she had - although hormone issues were a part of this as well. I could never get rid of them using the medication from the GP/Boots. The only really effective treatment has been DE. I can't believe that Ivermectin is recommended. My ex uses Ivermectin on his cattle to de-worm them - he is always very tired afterwards, but, he can't make the connection. Dreadful stuff - keep well clear of it.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 J Hosp Infect. 1988 Oct;12(3):221-4. Enterobius vermicularis (PINWORMS) infection in a children's ward. Ashford RW, Hart CA, RG. Source Department of Parasitology, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Abstract Following the discovery that two patients on a children's orthopaedic ward were excreting Enterobius, all patients and staff on the ward were screened for the presence of pinworms. None of the staff was infected but 11 (55%) of 20 patients either had Enterobius ova on the anal margin or excreted worms following piperazine treatment. Epidemiological investigations indicated that this was unlikely to be a ward outbreak because four of the infected children had been on the ward for under 3 days, i.e., less than the prepatent period for Enterobius. Although none of the children was symptomatic, all children and staff on the ward were treated with piperazine. Faecal samples were collected from nine children and the majority of their worm load was shed within 32 h of starting therapy. Microscopic examination of the adult male worms showed that each patient was excreting both Enterobius vermicularis and E. gregorii.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 So could be endemic in childhood, then? Were the children school or nursery age - they could have picked them up in school/nursery toilets. They are common in old people's homes,too, I understand. If endemic should we treat the whole family twice a year?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Margaret,Yes, I am wondering if this sample might actually represent the population at large. Wold be interesting to knw. The other article I posted talks abut a 35% infection rate in USA and Europe. I think it might be totally underrated as I do nt see a whole about this on Pubmed. Reminds me of the rather large elephant in the room syndrome. My mother says that in the old days it was common to hold a biscuit in front of the mouth and the worm would come out!!! She thinks there was wormwood in the biscuit. Also they used to put a tape on the anus and then check it under a microscope. These critters live in the crevices so stool might not always bring them out.

Were the children school or nursery age - they could have picked them up in school/nursery toilets. They are common in old people's homes,too, I understand. If endemic should we treat the whole family twice a year?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi No we havent had an issues at all, although Harry does edge on the looser side and never been a sufferer of constipation. I on the other hand do and it hasnt troubled me but rather the opposite. Could you perhaps increase vitamin C or magnesium or maybe add in oxypowder? x To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: mrengifo1us@...Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:39:32 -0700Subject: Re: Re: Parasites Hi ,We have taken diatom but gave us terrible constipation.
