Re: Threadworm - Recurring

[Guest guest]

Hi Darla,

I know that low stomach acid can make kids susceptible to pinworms. Does

have signs of low stomach acid? If so, that might be an area to work on while

you're killing the worms to lessen chances of re-infections.

Dear Darla,

Hope things improve. Not sure I have any answers but I've been thinking about

parasites for a while now.

Have you treated the family? You could be passing between yourselves.

Do you have pets - have you treated them? (so many of us seem to have pets with

" character " or behaviours).

Have you tested for parasites generally (are there other worms/parasites) - I

have been reading that there can be several types and (if I understand

correctly) this can make treatment harder. This is something I am wondering

about myself.

Best wishes, Sandy

Dear Darla,

Forgot to mention natural anti-parasitics (there are quite a lot to choose

from). We've chosen to use them in our food. E.g. we use ground cloves in our

" cake " and also in things like baked apples (nice with cinnamon. There's also a

Pumpkin seed butter by Meridian (maybe it's a bit grown up tastewise - also a

bit gritty and green).

Best wishes, Sandy

Yes, Darla, Ovex is only for worms - it's not marketed as a treatment for

protozoan parasites such as Giardia and Dientomoeba.

Would apolactoferrin help with anaemia, without encouraging the parasites?

This is an interesting clip re gut bugs and MMS. is presenting at Autism

waste.

hope you get some solutions here soon, in the meantime, when ours have been out

of control, i put garlic cloves up the bum before bed (you need KY jelly or

similar) to relieve night time itching, it blasts them straight away. that will

take care of buggers in lower tract.

Dear Darla,

This is probably irrelevant but I remembered you mentioned anemia. I was

reading that hookworm is strongly linked with anemia. As you know, polyps do

the same but I wondered if it would be worth checking about hookworms?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookworm

(it mentions Mebendazole is 15% effective for hookworm)
