My LLMD had me do a stool test. It came out negative, yet I had parasites.

My tests always came up negative for parasites and I was loaded. The only way I knew I had them was by taking antiparasitic herbs like Parastroy, Humaworm, Hanna Kroeger Wormwood and salt/c.

That's the best way to determine if you have them, and most of the population of the world does. Doing research on parasites is most helpful to determine the course of action.

Yes, I saw them! A tapeworm that I estimate to be over 10 feet (kind of hard to miss seeing that one!). I gained ten, much needed pounds after passing that one, and ate half as much.

I also passed over 30 roundworms that were 10-15 inches long.

These worms were intact, though digested somewhat, so it was clear what they were. The tapeworm was broken (thank goodness), but the pieces were 6-8 inces long, so it was clear what it was, too.

This is what I saw after 6 mos of antiparasitic herbs and salt/c. www.lymephotos.com Filarial worms are often a much overlooked co-infection of Lyme Disease even by LLMDs.

My daughter's stool tests always came back negative UNTIL....

we used the test from Institute of Parasitic Diseases in AZ 1-602-955-4211.

It showed "Chardon Leyden Crystals" (sp?)in her stool which are the by-products of parasites!!!

It did NOT show any parasites, however. They usually do not show up in the stool because they are happy in the gut and usually only "come out" when you force them...

Currently doing Flagyl but I am thinking about having here try the labs' product by Dr. Amin.

I assumed I was infected and treated. Sure enough.

You have to keep treating for quite a while. At one point I was really 'clean' but my husband wouldn't treat regularly enough and I know he was reinfecting me. And sure enough the lesions on his legs were biopsied and they found parasite ova - not what they were looking for!

Right now I rife regularly for all parasites and try to do a cleanse every few months. With my hectic last year I'm mostly rifing (but I did do a two week Mt. Capra - meant to do another two weekds but moved and lost track of it)

Are doctors required to sign for tests from any of these labs?

My LLMD didn't recommend rifing for parasites as the herxes would be too severe

Apparently parasites put up a good fight
