I have been on ivermectin , pulsed, for a year with no problems. I feel worse if I stop it with twitching and asthma/ babs symptoms.
I have not tried albenzadole . Do most people stop iver to try albenza ? Or do they take both at once?
Has albenzadole made much of a difference for anoyone ? Does it target different parasites than ivermectin?
Your input is appreciated !

I have taken both drugs and get good results from both. First I did them in separate courses, now I am taking them on alternate days, as it is my understanding that internationally these two drugs are used together for certain infections.
They work differently--you can see this on a chart at the very bottom of this wikipedia page (click 'show' on the purple stripe to see the chart). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albendazole
As I said, both drugs seem to be effective for me. HOWEVER, if you are going to try albendazole please be very cautious and start with a low dose. My first experience (with a 'standard' dose) was an extremely awful herx. I found that I could increase the dose every few days without major problems, though, once I started out slow.
I get side effects from ivermectin, I think--vision stuff at a higher dose, but I haven't noticed any side effects from albendazole. I do start to get headaches at some point, but this I think is toxins from die-off, not side effect. I just back off a couple days and start again when I feel better. Saline enemas have really helped through this process.
Edit: I forgot to mention that on the curezone forums there's a person who used alb/iver to cure parasites and I found this description very helpful, though the doses are WAY higher than I can tolerate--the concept is what's interesting.
Here is a link to parasite protocol PDF. I have not tried it but I am using currently MMS. However I am using Mimosa, GSE and DE for parasites right now.

Thanks to both of you ! Matt are you improving ?
I will check both of these .
I would NOT do HIGH doses of ivermectin everyday because it will cause dizziness and blurred vision. I had a scabies infection and used a lot of it TOPICALLY and had double vision and felt "floaty " or dizzy . That is why I take it every other day . The side effects are weird if taken too much, but they go away quickly .

Am I improving? I have been working with a Dr K practitioner for about 5 weeks now. Seeing some minor improvements but some symptoms that were gone while on ABX have returned.
Taking a major ABX break, may not go back. I just started UV blood and Ozone IV's last week. Will get one every 4 ot 5 days or for a couple of months. I got several UV blood IV's but could not get them in a short enough time frame for them to make a lasting difference.
The Ozone practitioner is a nurse and has several ways to hit bacteria. My thought is to use both Dr K and Ozone for a while to get my bacterial load down. Both practitioners are fine with that approach.
May start using Ozone at home. She says she has cancer patients that using it twice a day without issue. I do not know what it does to parasites though.
All the Best, MattH

Annxyzz,
My physician had me take Ivermectin for two weeks then I was switched to Albenza.
My physician has tod me that they treat different parasites. Hence, the need to take different medications.
I have taken the above course three times.
As an FYI: the Albenza dose costs over $600 for one round so you will want to have insurance if you try ths medication.

Albendazole and Alinia cross the blood brain barrier. The others on the parasite pharma protocol do not. Each med in the protocol addresses different parasites and layers of the body.
I have taken all of the pharmaceutical antiparasitics years ago, but am now taking MMS very successfully.
A parasite laying 200,000 eggs in a day is difficult to keep up with.
We do need to change our environment!
Take care.

From my reading it appears that many people treating parasites and morgellons have substituted fenben for albenzadole ( the vet version available w/o a script ) with good results and a lot of saved MONEY! I think they kill the same bugs and fenben can be purchased at Tractor Supply or amazon.
