Little tummy ache - just thinking about it. I've never been very good with "bugs".

Today I passed several small round pink things that were definatley not meant to be in my body. Most of them were round and pinkish but one had another lighter small round (head?) attached to it. They actually looked like little red beans. Definately dead.

Does anyone know what these may be?

I am thinking possible flukes, Liver or Intestinal. I've emailed HUMAWORM asking for info and haven't heard back yet.

I suppose I've more to look forward to.

I'm really glad I'm doing this. I bought some for my dog and my husband, too. I was surprised my husband went along with it and now he's on the computer researching parasites! He's pretty impressed.

This is a very cheap (super cheap for pets) method. Only $25 every six months and you can bet I'll be doing it every six months.

I got a question with the parasite cleanse. Do you stay "regular" while on it.....or do you have to always have a toilet within sight?

With Humaworm, I have not had any problems and have been working normally. With some other cleanses, I have not found that to always be the case.

I am using HUMAWORM.

When I used Dr. Natura I needed the bathroom all morning.

With this one I have regular movements except today when I passed the 'stuff' it was an hour or so after my first movement and it was very loose.

This makes a lot of sense. I worm my cat, my dogs and my horses - much more care with the horses - but haven't considered myself or my people family. `Bout time!

I looked at the Humaworm site and it hangs together for me. I'm already taking some of the herbs with good results (or not bad).

My questions for you with experience. Can this be done while on abx? Are there any precautions to be taken with a fairly `worn out' system?

Thanks!

You can adjust the number of minutes you steep the nightly tea so that will not happen.

Glad the huma is working so well!

I am on ABX while doing this cleanse. I am doing this with my Lyme Dr's blessing. I always run things by him. He was all for it and was nice enough to tell me about some of his patients that had tapeworm and other types of parasites.

I always learn something at my appointments - whether I want to or not (LOL)

There was someone else on this board who gave me some good advice before I took it and she was also on ABX while she used it. I feel bad I can't think of her name now.

Pony: The reason this is a 30 day cleanse is that they believe in a longer less harsh cleanse. It does have Psyllium in it, though, which can be harsh for some people. It seems to be pretty gentle on me so far.

Could someone post a link to this site? I am interested in it.

Did you save any of the parasites, or take pics? Just curious.

Thanks for any info on the product!

Thank you!

I think I am going to order some. Can I just get the HUMAWORM for ADULTS? I don't have the $$ for all products now..

I could buy another product next month.

Thanks MElissa

There is some relatively new research - last 10 years, that parasites are an important part of our biological, internal landscapes. In fact, crone's disease is being TREATED with pig worms successfully!

I would research this, and not assume that getting rid of every parasite is a good, healthy thing.

Parasites --- are like aircraft carriers - when they die, they dump viruses, metals, etc. and it's good to mop up behind them with binding agents to avoid herxheimers. Being bloated and airy is a sign it is working. Oh, I also heard parasites called 'the nights in shining armor' because they hold the metals in their coats.

Parasite cleanses should be done for six months. They lay dozens of eggs every day, in 21 days they hatch, and in 21 days they hatch again, and again, so it's important to work on cysts and eggs.

If you stop too early, they just keep renewing themselves.

Alinia (formerly Daxon) gets at the parasite eggs in the brain.

If you are out of sorts and hyper around full moon, that's when the parasites are dancing and copulating to renew themselves. People go a little nutty. I remember my doctor telling that's when his phones ring off the hook. Watch this board around that time!!

L. Gittelson's book "Look who is coming for Dinner"

Take care.


Just sharing my experiences.

Yes, some parasites are good and beneficial, some are not.
Chronic disease sets in when the balance tilts the wrong way. Wrong foods. Too many vitamins that feed the bad and leave the rest to you.
And some people crash after being on a supplement/nutrient protocol for a while. It clearly shows up in energetic testing, such as ART. People come in with 50 bottles and are down to 6-7 that would still benefit them.

Hi Mojo,

It sounds like possible liver flukes to me. Humaworm also has a great support forum over on Curezone where he answers questions too, you might want to check it out -- lots of good info!

I did a Humaworm cleanse and it was by far the best one I've done...I'm waiting the 90 days and am going to do another one only have him make a custom batch that's extra strength for me, which he does if you ask him.

Cheers,

Alison

For those familiar with humaworm, would this be the recommended treatment for a 4year old ? My grandson has a ringworm on the top of his foot.
Thanks for any help.

Ringworm is a fungal infection. There are no parasites responsible for ringworm. Ringworm can be treated with topical antifungals or oral antifungals.

Ringworm is also pretty contagious to people and pets (or pets to people)

Merry - I saved them for a few hours but threw them away becuse I didn't want to see them anymore!

I needed my husband to see them though, and at first he didn't believe they were parasites but then he was very convinced.

I can't get him to wash his hands enough - when handling meat and poultry, etc. He is the main chef at our house and I typically go after him in the kithcen with the disenfectant. Now perhaps he will cook our meat more thoroughly and wash his hands more! He NEVER gets sick because his immune system is so strong but I appeal to him with MY weak immune systema and I wash my hands frequently.

When I go to eat at his parents my MIL is always touchng the meat (especially chicken) and then touches the kitchen towel instead of washing her hands - I just want to go crazy.

I'm on day 9 of humaworm. I haven't really "seen" anything yucky, but as I understand it, parasites can be very small. And, I'm not trying to find, I just look and flush.

In any case, I was having alot of air, and some pain and some hard times with movements. I went and got a colonic and things are better now. I will get another colonic on Monday. I also did some juicing and am eating more raw food. I was taking chlorella, but I think I need to take it differently as I think the capsules were just clogging me up or something.

I take so many capsules, I just want to not have to do that, so I going to look into more liquid or powder products.

The stuff has made me feel dizzy and nauseated off and on. One minute I'm fine and the next I think I need to stop taking the stuff. I am hoping the month will go by quickly. [Smile]

Thanks MerryGirl, yes, ringworm is a fungus, and we have tried topical antifungals. Just wondering because humaworm has several antifungal ingredients.

I am experimenting with MMS and passed one worm like critter, likely a pin worm and what I think were small tapeworms. Looked like rice. Yuk.

It is a good feeling to be rid off them. Just not sure how long I have to keep using it.

I am glad you are getting good results. I have got to believe it is beneficial to be rid of these things.

Wanted to make sure you saw this:

http://tinyurl.com/2wxx7x

Mobile phones might have unexpected effects on human health, according to New Scientist this week.

A team of scientists exposed nematode worms, a type of small worm, to microwave radiation similar to the kind of radiation emitted by mobile phones, and they found that the radiation made the worms more fertile!

So if microwave radiation affects fertility in worms then it's quite likely it will affect us in some way too. Until now scientists thought the only way mobile phones could affect human health was by heating the cells in our body - similar to the way food gets cooked in a microwave oven.

But scientists say that it's very unlikely that microwave heating made the worms more fertile and that there must be something else going on.

Here's another article - more detail:

Oh my, I got mine and started it three days ago ... apparently I had a TAPEWORM!!! It was broken in pieces, but I'd say before it was broken it must have been 2-3 feet long!

That explains a lot about my weight!

I was taking it because it said it was effective against Klebsiella and Citrobacter, both of which I have. It also is effective against protozoa, so since I have babs, I thought there are probably more.

I certainly didn't expect a tapeworm! YUCK!

Hi all,
I was just at my LLMD on Monday and she put me on Ivermectin because I have horses and she said that Dr. H is doing research into other parasites than the typical Lyme ones. So she is putting her Lyme patients that have horses on this. She has horses and has already done this to herself.

I would rather take the Humaworm but will do the course of Ivermectin since it will target the same worms that the horses have. Who knows how much "stuff" we really harbor. Then later try the herbals.

Thanks for this thread.

I took it for about three days.. I had to stop because of terrible heartburn and stomach aches. I was in the middle of a herx too.

I may try again in a month. I don't think any residents were "evicted"..

Sixgoofykids: Wow - sounds like you really needed the cleanse! So happy you are rid of the tapeworm.

Merrygirl: Sorry you had trouble. I hope you have sucess while not herxing.

I finished mine the other day and did not "see" anything after day 9 (didn't really look very hared) Noticed that it made me a little bit constipated so I took (natural)stuff to make sure I "went" everyday.

I spoke with my Lyme Dr. and I'm going to do a liver flush and another Humaworm in 90 days. I think I'll ask for the extra strength like Allison since I know I have/had flukes and I want to get them all!!!

Daughter agreed to start hers during Christmas while she's home for a couple weeks as she needs my nagging reminders to take anything.

My Lyme Dr. is now recommending Humaworm to his patients because I told him how many lymies recomend it over other cleanses.

I am almost finished with my one month course of Humaworm. I must say that the first 10 to 14 days was pretty tough. I really wanted to stop.

I think what helped me, though is a series of colonics. I never had one before, but I decided that it was time. I got 1 per week for 4 weeks (started the first week of the humaworm).

My movements are much better now. Before I had to strain, so I think I was having some blockages.

I never "saw" anything in the bowl, but I did not strain to look. Parasites can be tiny anyway.

I think it really helped me with some yeast issues, though. I didn't think I had that, but now I am beginning to wonder.

I found it best to coat the capsules with coconut oil and drink them down with alot of water and warm water. Otherwise - I would get that heartburn also (they got caught in my gullet). Had a good amount of stomach discomfort and overall not feeling great, in the first 10-14 days, but then it started to get better.

I highly recommend the colonics along with the humaworm. It was the best way for me to ensure that I was moving enough and not harboring dead bugs (and other stuff) in my gut.

Hey Sheri, girl!

Yes, peppermint can cause heartburn.

I have a hiatle hernia and therefore a hearburn issue but the Humaworm didn't seem to bother me, thankfully.

I'm so happy to have so many fellow Humawormies!

Clancy and others:

Ringworm and bullseye rash can be confused.

This particularly happens with an existing lyme infection where a bullseye pops up without a bite.

I asked lymenet about this several months ago when my daughter had something on her arm that the doctor labeled ringworm.

The consensus is that a lyme bullseye without a bite is usually about the size of a nickel or quarter, often comes in groups, is red on the edge and light colored in the middle, and doesn't itch.

It can happen on dry skin areas, like forearms.

According to the medical literature, ring worm (fungus) can look similar, but always itches.

It usually occurs in areas that stay moist, like armpits, groin, and bottoms of feet of sneaker wearers.

And to you humawormers: Eeeeeeeewwwww. [Big Grin]

My son is on Humaworm, too. Since he bites his nails, I thought he'd need it .... well, it's taken him longer, but he had a flat worm today, too. YUCK!

He's so grossed out I really don't think he'll be biting his nails anymore! LOL

I certainly will not be eating medium rare steaks (on the rare side) anymore! I've seen more of the tapeworm since my first post about it...

Maybe I should have waited until after the holidays for this! [lol]
