I've never had a pet. I'm not a pet person. I took a lot of oil-based supplements for a long time, plus hot-and-cold treatments and poultice. I found that I had to switch up what I was doing every week, ten days, or two weeks or the infection would adapt and it would stop helping. I usually was taking a combination of 2 or 3 things and there was about 5 or so combination that I found that worked well as long as they weren't taken too close together. So by the time I had gone through several different rounds of things and came back to a particular one, it would work again, though sometimes at a higher dose. My sons needed a lot less intervention than I needed. I did give them supplements and they did poultice 2 or 3 times a day for several months. My sons seem to be well now. I am still working on killing off the last remnants of the parasitic infection. But I no longer do poultice, I rarely do hot and cold treatments (and usually they are more localized than what I used to do) and I no longer have to rotate combinations of oils and such. In the last year, I pretty consistently take olive leaf extract and oil of oregano and a bunch of nutritional supplements. As virii and other crap in my system die off, the parasites seem to have less to feed on. There has always been a direct correlation between me having some outbreak of some other infection and the parasitic infection acting up. It's very consistent. So I as I kill off a long list of viral and bacterial infections that built up in my system over many years of living without a diagnosis for cystic fibrosis, the parasites are kind of being starved out at this point. There is still a few spots in my face that hurt at times, especially when I have die-off or an outbreak of something else. But it's no longer the daily endless battle it was for several years. The battle is more like a back-burner type project now, if that makes sense.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 My son and I have babesia, a parasite that is also a coinfection to Lyme. Before treating for babesia, my son was severely gross motor delayed. 48 hours after he started the mepron he climbed into his high chair, out of his crib, onto the couch, up the stairs and onto my bed and began jumping! All in one day, where just 2 months prior we were teaching him how to crawl and how to tilt his head back to drink from a bottle. Also, his excessive thirst was gone and he started sleeping through the night. Keep in mind that not all parasites are in the stool. Ours was a red blood cell infection detected by blood antibody testing. Caryn > > > > I know that many on this board are treating their children for > > parasites.
