Hi all, after 15 months in treatment, the LLND is treating my daughter for parasites. Yeah.
She has systemic candida as well.
She is on Albenza, Black Walnut Plant Stem Cell and Plaquinel for Parasites.
She is on Bactrim DS for Lyme.
She is on Nystatin and Sporonox for Candida.
Clean diet with no gluten, yeast, sugar or vinegar.
Am assuming that treatment will make her feel worse before she gets better. Here it is, Summer # 3 for the bed-bound teen! Yuk.
Since beginning parasite tx, her symtoms are changing.
Eye Film Extreme Weakness Joint Pain Somach/Gas bloating and Constipation itchy bumps/lumps Tempature changes from cold to hot, to cold again.
I am assuming that this is s die-off reaction and that she will get better.
How long do we anticipate her feeling this crappy?
Is there anything to help with the die-off symptoms from the parasites?
She does ToxX drops and Castor Oil, and gets Colonics to help with Detox.
Ideas?

I'm so sorry your daughter is feeling so bad -- I know it has to be a huge challenge for her, and for you too!
I don't have any personal experience yet with parasite treatment, however I'll be starting my doctor's protocol this coming weekend. I do think that it would be huge if you could do as much detox as possible. My doctor emphasized that a lot and basically said it was a requirement for me to do tons of detox during this treatment.
It's great that she's doing the colonics and castor oil. I'll be doing 1-2 colonics a week during the parasite treatment. I assume she's using the castor oil as a pack? This was one of the things my doc suggested as well.
Other things that could be helpful that I'll be doing:
Lymph massage
Dry Brushing (this would be an easy thing to get started)
Enemas (Coffee enemas are really helpful for most people and really help detox a lot. It turns out that they aren't good for me, so I'll be trying some other things, but coffee enemas could be good to try.)
Drink lemon water
Chlorella (this can be constipating though, so you'd need to be careful to counteract that with other things)
For short term, when things are needing an extra boost in the detox department, charcoal caps could be another option. Just for a few days. But, you would need to be sure to take them separately from anything else, as they bind everything.
Particularly if she is having constipation -- that will really be increasing all her toxicity issues, and thus making her feel crappy, as the toxins are getting backed up. Anything you can do to help keep her regular will be important, and the colonics/enemas could be a hugely good support here.
I also take as much magnesium as I need to keep the bowels moving. I just increase and decrease as I need. It naturally helps soften the stool, and most people are deficient in magnesium anyway, so it helps on both counts.
So, those are some of my ideas. Hope you get some good help soon and she feels some relief.

Wow, she is taking a lot of things at the same time. This would kill me. I can only do one thing and start on very low dose. Is it Plaquenil? I had to stop it, got hot and cold and fever and vision problems and throat pain.
Yes parasite treatment makes you very very fatigued.
I also love lemons and organic apple juice and sometimes I put apple pectin in the juice.

I'm just curious about why "no vinegar". I thought vinegar killed parasites.
