How Did You Treat Parasites?


AmyNColorado

Recommended Posts

I've been doing alot of research on how to treat parasites naturally. It lists a HUGE list of herbal remedies and I'm wondering if you take all of them together?! It seems pretty extensive to do at home so I'm wondering how others have treated it and how long it took to heal? Any recommendations on products?

Also, have you ever treated with medications from a doctor? How did that go? Is that possible even?

One last thing I'd like to add...I'm in Colorado and we have the best gluten free beer! Well from what I've tried anyway and I've tried pretty much every gluten-free beer there is. New Planet Beer makes a lightly treated ale, Rasberry ale and a Pale Ale!! Just wanted to pass that on! you can check them out at www.newplanetbeer.com. I was reading through postings about gluten-free beer and thought I would share, they are spreading quickly! More and more bars here carry it regularly, its pretty awesome!

Thanks for feedback on the parasites, I really appreciate it.

The first thing you do is go to the doctor and get stool testing to make sure you actually have parasites. The doctor can then prescribe the proper medication to rid you of them.

I agree. I was diagnosed via stool test with cryptosporidia and treated with alinia. Later I was diagnosed with dientamoeba fragilis, but my ND still wanted to treat me with Alinia, even though that drug was not recommended for D-frag. Some docs get stuck on one drug for everything. So after 2 unsuccessful treatments with 2 different drugs, I found another doc who had lots of experience with parasites (treating people in South America). She had a book which listed appropriate treatments for each different parasite. Her recommended treatment worked. Then she ordered tests to figure out why I got 8 different gastro infections and frequent colds over a 4 year period. 2 years later my immunity is much stronger and rarely get colds. I haven't had another gastrointestinal infection since D-Frag. (My next stool test was clear of gut bugs, except for the good ones.)

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
