My LLMD suspects some symptoms could be related to gallbladder.....HIDA scan is high. She made the comment that a sick gallbladder could be the reason I cannot get rid of parasites. I wanted to hear more, but my visit was nearly over.

Can anyone explain?

Have you tested your house water? I have tested many public water systems using energetic testing and about half of them test positive for giardia, crypto and nematodes (ascaris).

Sorry, I haven't researched the gallbladder point but if you can't get rid of parasites it's most likely that you are continuously reinfecting yourself. That would make the most sense to me. This happened to my family with our well water and finally we got so sick from it that now we are ultra sensitive.

I had my teeth cleaned in a neighboring town recently and the next day had terrible gut pain and increased nervous system symptoms. I couldn't figure it out until I realized that these symptoms were the same ones I had previously gotten from our bad well water. So that night I rifed for 2 hours on cryptosporidium. The next day most of my pain was gone. So I rifed for it again and my pain went away completely the following day. Then I looked up the annual testing report from the water company for that town and saw that they had failures in microbiologic testing just last fall. Once there is a bad test, you know that it can happen again at any time.

So I went to my dentist's office the next day and got a water sample and took it to my practitioner. Sure enough, it was the worst public water we had tested to date: positive for giardia, blastocystis, cryptosporidium, e. histolytica and nematodes (ascaris). My immune system is so shot that I cannot tolerate public water if it is contaminated. I need to stop reinfecting myself so that I can heal and rebuild my immune system.

I really wonder if this could be your issue. My primary symptoms when I get reinfected are: internal vibrating/trembling, pain in lungs, pain in gut and bloating, insomnia, shortness of breath sometimes, headache sometimes.

Can I ask what water system it was where your dentist is located. I am from your area--just south of West CHester--and wonder if that may be adding to my inabiity to completely clear infection

Hi Tick Battler,

Do you have any info on where I could look on the internet to look into this kind of testing?

Also, do you know if it tests for contamination by Rx being dumped into the city water. I live in Philly.

Thanks.

RZR,

I'm also interested in what you find-my gallbladder has been giving me problems for quite some time now.

There is a woman near Exton who does EDS testing and can test the water for you. She can test for chemical contaminants or any organism that is in her database in her machine. She can also test you. Here is her website: http://www.puremeridian.com/

We did see cryptosporidium in some philly water when we tested it. I would get a reverse osmosis unit (around $300) for any drinking or cooking water. It can be installed in the kitchen sink.
