diethylcarbamazine is a parasite drug not oft used but apparently well tolerated and even immuno modulatory and liver protective.

not available in USA but I found a few online pharmacies that have it.

I'm going to try it. Would like to know if anyone else has.

For me, it seems the more parasite drugs I take, the better I get.

You still need a prescription, don't you? I'd be very interested to know how it works for you. There was a post a while ago about it. It kills the adults which apparently the other meds don't. That's my understanding.

It's known as DEC.

I found a few places that don't require a prescription. I don't feel comfortable sharing them here, as I could be accused of helping people get meds irresponsibly. Anyway, for me personally, I'll likely try them without script. I will note though that my doctor knows what I am doing and is helping me...

I don't think it's killing worms, I think it's killing Borrelia and co's.

I used this for a long time & am even back on it now due to a reemergence of symptoms. My doc and I believe I am infected with filarial parasites. I definitely herxed from it, but it improve my sluggish lymph system which makes sense since filarial worms supposedly live in the lymphatics. It also helps my painful ear and makes these strange shooting pains in my legs go away. Using DEC has improved my energy levels. I get it online from a place in India and they are very reliable. I have ordered with & without a prescription.
