I would like to get a blood test for this, but I know my doc will look at me like I'm crazy.

What blood tests are available? what do I ask for?

I have had the test with stool samples. I want to hit parasites in the brain and I don't know if it is something that would show in a stool.

Any thoughts?

I heard they are not accurate (stool tests) so it is best just to start treatment with herbals like wormwood.

My husband had lesions on his legs after Chemotherapy and he had a biopsy which showed "parasite ova". All the trad. dr.s asked us if we went to any exotic, Etc. etc. We spent hundreds of dollars on two visits to a ID guy and he did blood and stool tests which showed NEGATIVE!
