Dear sixgoofykids, I remember that the Humaworm was what expelled the tapeworm. Those things are nasty creatures. Destroying them is difficult. They could actually grow to be as long as the intestine itself! What a horrifying notion! You also had mentioned that Humaworm is easily customized to the needs of the person taking it. Psyllium husk is certainly something I would have to have left out.
Dear Hambone, That sounded like a worm of some sort to me that you passed. Nothing looks like that unless something strange is going on. Stool should never look like that! You have to be careful about the cleansing, since it can be hard on your system. The first few days usually are the worst from what others have said.

I also agree that colonoscopies and scopes do not show the parasites. I underwent both tests and they showed nothing.
I passed parasites before and still passing after colonoscopy.
GI doc didn't believe I had parasites. I even took actual worm samples twice (looked just like Gary's) and lab tested negative both times.
I want to add Salt/C. Can anyone help with time spacing from abx?

Jennie,
Just do it about an hour apart from the abx. I started with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp Vitamin C powder with bioflavinoids mixed in a large glass of water.
I increased it 1/4 tsp at a time according to how I was herxing. RAMP UP SLOWLY!!! and drink extra water during the day.
I always sipped this and NEVER gulped it down. Pace, don't race and it will give you the same results.

Question....are you just treating for parasites on your own? Adding Humaworm, Enula etc to your Lyme regimen?
I have not treated for parasites. Can one expel something like Gary without doing parasite treatment? I have not examined my stools much, do know I have/had malabsorbtion issues....and wonder if I've seen something very similar to the pic above, hmmm...(or was it some sort of undigested food, who knows?)
I am currently on IV Rocephin, pulsing Flagyl and various supps. Can I add parasitic tx? I know, check with my LLMD. I consult with him next week and I will - he's never said boo about parasites.
But, I still want to know your opinions and want to know if some of you just did this on your own. Even with a good LLMD, I feel like I have to take some matters into my own hands.
Thanks. TS

LLMDs never say "boo" about parasites...OR DETOXING....OR MERCURY....OR KPU....or plenty of other stuff.

Good idea.

I have heard numerous important remarks of Dr.K. over the last 12 years. One I wrote down:
"Parasites are at the core of what makes Lyme patients sick".
I would like to add: and parasites are one of the easiest groups to get rid of as long as you stick with it and use the right meds.
When talking about parasites, he added: Babesia and Bartonella live largely in the lungs. Inhaled potassium Iodide may be a helpful treatment for some under the care of a doctor. Some patients have the "lung worm", which may be one of the most common parasites in Lyme Disease.
My husband is being treated for lungworm right now. It didn't surface for years and he never showed the slightest symptom of it. But Dr.K. has always said "I know he has it". Now that the metals are being released, with AI and with KPU, the lungworm is testable and being treated.
Take care.

do you all treat parasites at the same time you treat lyme/co's with abx?
also....i had an eds test done yesterday and it showed some issues/congestion in my right lung only. what is the test for lungworm?
not holding my breath that my stool test will show positive results for parasites. I'm getting kind of annoyed with my doctor who likes to test everything through lab work. she even suggested i have a normal thyroid because it was in the NORMAL RANGE. ummm...shouldn't she know that just because it says normal it doesn't mean it's normal?
