Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Has anyone used Metronidazole with success for parasites? What are side effecs if any you guys have seen? My DAN wanted to use Alinia but the liquid is sold out in a bunch of places so my DAN suggested Metronidazole. Plus it is cheaper.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 We tried a round of it for my son, and it did absolutely nothing. :-( No side-effects, either, though. :-/ Has anyone used Metronidazole with success for parasites?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I've got to second this; we did 2 rounds on my son, the second one longer than the first, and saw absolutely no change, unfortunately.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Judy,I had my son on Metro. for a few weeks.He got soo sick.The die off (at least thats what I think was going on) never went away.I had to stop it. I wasn't sure if it was doing any damage. From the first day,he was very sick on it. I hope you guys will do better with it. Good luck,Tammy F.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi, We had a test come back: parasites, unknown. So our Dr. at that time gave us a 10-14 day script of Flagyl. She had big die off behavior the entire time she was on it (and no clostrida) but I really couldn't see any parasite activity- come to find out later Flagyl is used in Lyme treatment as a cyst buster. Anyway, our new Dr. put us on for parasites: Albenza 200 mg 1 x a day for 7 days Stomectol 3 mg. 1 pill only on day 7 2 weeks off, Repeat. I bought Humaworm for children this last summer for my dd6- by day 3 she was so off the wall- I couldn't tell if it was phenol or one of the herbs- I couldn't handle it, took her off, and took the rest myself double dosed. Looking back, wished I would have pushed through for her- given charcoal, gone longer to see... > > Has anyone used Metronidazole with success for parasites?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Here's the thing, my son had "die off" with Valtrex and he is still screwed up from it, so I am afraid. He lost language and seemed to have seizures on Valtrex. I can't fix whatever it did to him, he was on it 1 month before I stopped it. If the metro causes a die off that lasts more than 3-4 days I will stop it since I can't take another chance like that again. I might not even try. :-( I use Paranil Jr. , but I don't think it is working.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 We had used metronidazole with gains, but later it seemed to aggravate the parasites it did nit kill. Alinia was amazing, but again, seemed to kill many but leave others. Mimosa pudica is promising now. I think a multiple drug therapy is likely necessary to get them. > > Has anyone used Metronidazole with success for parasites? What are side effecs if any you guys have seen?
