Just a a small run-down on what I have been dealing with.
I have found a very small parasite which has global subsistence in my body, including the prostate.
I have found crucial stages, which would normally escape the eye of medical examiners.

I do regular observations of stool, mucus, blood, semen, and prostatic fluid. This gives me an edge on making certain connections, that could easily be missed in routine tests.

This parasite has complex oocyst stage, which at first could easily be mistaken for yeast [found in stool]it also has cyst stages, which are difficult to identify, unless they are in macrophages.

Now for the interesting part of this story.
I have examined the blood sample of individual with Lyme symptoms, and symptoms similar to my own.
I have found "spores" in the blood, which I cultivated. Many bacterial-like microbes emerged in a few days. But, I noticed similar structures to my parasite. Sure enough, there was evidence of "quorum sensing", and "hive" behavior.
In a few more days, yeast cells emerge. But, there was weird qualities about them. They were too small to begin with, and seemed to grow in limited chains of 4. Plus, the small bacteria, would interact with the cells.
I am drawing into the "possible" conclusion, these are not yeast cells, and indeed are oocysts!

If this is the case, I may have two examples of a parasite that looks to be apicomplexan [includes my own].
I know that I am a bit bias because of my own discovery, but I cannot escape the fact that observationally, I am seeing a very similar pattern.

I am having DNA analysis done with my microbes in a few weeks, and might suggest this individual do the same.
If these are apicomplexan parasites, it will give more credence to my hypothesis that a much larger problem exist with these parasites than is currently known.
Her are my symptoms, some may not be connected:
Loose stools
Bad taste in mouth upon sleep
very bad eye floaters
High sensitivity to light
Irritated prostate [at night]
itchy bum
itchy scalp
sensitivity to allergens
lactose intolerance
lower than average sex drive {prostate related}

I have discovered all the causes to my symptoms, mostly having to do with cytokines, mast cells and other low grade mediators, but the parasite is the culprit [based on many tests].


PS>the individual lives hundreds of miles from me, and I have no connection whatsoever with her.

Have you let a lab try to identify it?
