The American Society of Analytical Chemists has been quoted as stating that "Chlorine dioxide is the most powerful killer of germs know to man''.
Chlorine dioxide has been used in water supplies (completely different from chlorine normally used) throughout the world for over 50 years because it only oxidizes the anaerobic microorganisms.
It will not oxidize healthy cells or good bacteria unlike oxygen, ozone, or hydrogen peroxide. It is the only highly selective oxidizer known for inside the human body where it has activity against virus, bacteria, fungus, parasites, and heavy metals.
It differentiates ``enemies'' by their acidity and ``friendlies'' by their alkalinity thus setting the immune system free of constraints.
Very helpful when dieting. For internal cleansing it is unsurpassed.

Some drugs if you want to go that route -
Praziquantel or albendazole are the drugs of choice to manage clonorchiasis (by eradicating the parasite) and of course treatment for the secondary effects of parasitemia may be necessary.
* Albendazole (Brands: Eskazole, Zental) is used to treat hydatid disease and larval taeniasis (beef tape worm) infection, and for some tapeworm infections by adult worms.
It works by inhibiting metabolism in the cells of the worm, leading to their immobilization and death. The dead worms are broken down by the body's immune system.
* Praziquantel (Brands: Biltricide) is used to treat blood flukes, lung flukes, liver flukes and intestinal flukes, and the majority of tapeworms. It is the drug of choice for treating clonorchiasis.
This drug increases cell membrane permeability in susceptible worms, resulting in loss of their intracellular calcium, massive contractions, and paralysis of the worm's musculature. This is followed by attachment of phagocytes to the parasite and its subsequent death.
The praziquantel tab should be swallowed whole with some liquid during meals. Keeping the tab in mouth may result in a bitter taste, which can produce nausea or vomiting.

There are four classifications of parasites. 30% live in our digestive systems while the other 70% live all over our bodies including, the blood, and all organs including the brain and even in our eyes and sinus cavities. There are over 1,000 types of parasites in these four classes that can live in the human body.
BACTERIA, VIRUSES and FUNGUS (mold, yeasts) are ALL in the very broad parasite catagory.
70% of all parasites that can live in the human body are MICROSCOPIC - only 30% are visible to the naked eye.
Malaria is a microscopic infection. The "worm" parasites can range from 1/4 inch to 33 feet long! Here is an interesting BBC News Story "Invasion of The Bodysnatchers" documenting several actual parasite infections: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3236294.stm
This is not ALL of them, but this will give you a pretty good idea of what HUMAWORM removes:
Ringworm, tapeworms, pinworms, candida albicans (yeast infections) and plasmodia (which is the malaria causing parasite), roundworms including ascaris , hookworms, whipworms, flukes including the blood fluke the anisakid worm and microscopic parasites and all parasitic larvae and eggs. All microscopic protoza (including blastocystis hominis ) , tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), cholera, scabies, viruses, bacteria and fungi including, pseudomonas aeruginosa, all species of shigella, staph (staph aureus) and strep (Streptococcus), bacteria (such as fungal infections ie: yeast infections) threadworms and skin parasites (including scabies).
Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus, Saprolegnia, and Zygorhynchus species. Salmonella typhimurium, and other bacterial species (including sixty + types of fungi and twenty + types of bacteria, including some of the most potent viruses known to man), B. subtilis, P. mirabilis, Salmonella typhi, methicillin-resistant Staph aureus, Staph faecalis, salmonella enteritidis, and V. cholerae , Escherichia, Proteus, Providencia, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Hafnia, Aeromonas, Vibrio and Bacillus genera, Microsporum, Epidermophyton, Trichophyton, Rhodotorula, Torulopsis, Trichosporon, Cryptococcus neoformans, Entamoeba histolytica and Paramecium caudatum, the herpes simplex virus, and viral infections.
Also cystitis, prostatitis, gonorrhea, and syphilis, cholera, giardia, salmonella, and Eschorichia Coli.
The following is a partial list from each of the four groups which will give you the general idea about how different parasites wreak havoc on our bodies.
THE PROTOZA (ONE CELL PARASITES)
Most parasites are ONE CELL PROTOZOA and they can invade ANY single cell in our bodies. Protozoa reproduce and multiply by duplicating themselves like a bacteria or virus.
GENITAL PROTOZA:
TRICHOMONAS - lives in the female vagina and urethra and causes a slightly yellow discharge with itching and burning. It also lives in the prostate of men.
NERVOUS SYSTEM PROTOZA:
NAEGLERIA - this one is found in water and soil, but only one species - naegleria fowleri - can infect humans. The infection mimics bacterial meningitis and affects the brain and spinal cord. The parasite enters the body through underwater swimming and/or diving - the ameba then travels to the brain and spinal cord. Infection causes Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), a brain inflammation, which leads to the destruction of brain tissue. Initial symptoms of PAM include headache, fever, nausea, vomiting and stiff neck.
Further destruction of brain tissue leads to confusion, lack of attention, loss of balance and body control, seizures, hallucinations. This disease progresses very rapidly and usually results in death in 3-7 days. This one is not common - only 24 reported cases in the United States between 1989 and 2000 - but it is caused from fresh water such as lakes, streams and hot springs - especially during dry summer months when the water levels are low and the temperature is above 80 degrees. It also comes from under-chlorinated swimming pools.
BLOOD PROTOZOA:
MALARIA - this is a blood parasite transmitted by mosquitoes that affects red blood cells.
BLASTOCYSTIS HOMINIS - this is a very common microscopic parasitic organism that is found throughout the world. Infection is called blastocystosis or blasto. Symptoms include loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anal itching, weight loss and excessive gas. They can remain in the intestines for weeks, months and YEARS. It is unknown at this time how blasto is transmitted.
GIARDIA LAMBIA - They live in drinking water and are not affected by chlorine because of their hard outer shell. They cause severe stomach infections that are routinely misdiagnosed as the stomach flu, the stomach bug or a stomach virus with severe diarrhea and abdominal pain. The infection also causes gas and greasy stools that tend to float, fatigue, nausea, weight loss and dehydration. It is estimated that 50% of drinking water in the United States has the Giardia Lambia present. The symptoms show 1-2 weeks after infection and can last for 2-6 weeks. A giardia infection is very contagious.
CRYPTOSPORIDIUM - this parasite comes from run off water from cattle farms. The infection is called Cryptosporidiosis - also known as crypto. This parasite is protected by an outer shell that allows it to survive outside the body for long periods of time. This shell also makes it resistant to disinfectants. They are ideal carriers for many of our autoimmune diseases. During the past 2 decades, crypto has become recognized as one of the most common causes of waterborne disease within humans in the United States. It may be found in drinking water and recreational water in EVERY REGION of the United States AND throughout the WORLD. The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms include dehydration, weight loss, stomach cramps and/or pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms show 2-10 days after becoming infected and can last for 1-2 weeks.
AMERICAN TRYPANOSOMIASIS - also called Chagas Disease is an infection c aused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Worldwide, it is estimated that 16-18 million people are infected - of those, 50,000 will die each year. 20%-30% of infected people will develop the most severe symptoms TEN to FORTY YEARS after the initial infection. These symptoms include cardiac problems ,swollen esophagus and/or swollen large bowel.
TUBERCULOSIS- this parasite lives in the white blood cells and kills over 3 million people per year.
LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS-this disease is caused by microscopic, thread-like worms. The adult worms only live in the human lymph system. The human lymph system maintains the body's fluid balance and fights infections. An adult worm lives for 5-7 years - when the adults mate, millions of microscopic eggs are passed onto the blood. Symptoms are not usually felt until after the adult worms die - because the lymph system is infected, fluid collects and causes swelling in the arms, legs and breasts. In men, the genital area also becomes swollen. Also, the swelling and decreased function of the lymph system makes it difficult for the body to fight off infections - so people with this parasite will have more bacterial infections.
PFISTERIA - come from undercooked or raw fish (sushi)
E COLI - this one comes from contaminated meat that is not fully cooked.
LEISHMANIASIS - from sand flies, this parasite infects the skin and causes skin sores and can cause internal damage to the spleen, liver and the bone marrow. The skin sores are called cutaneous leishmaniasis - they can change in shape and size over time. They look sort of like a volcano with a raised edge and central crater. Sometimes scabs form - and the sores can be painless OR painful. Some people have swollen glands near the sores. Internal leishmaniasis is called visceral leishmaniasis and is marked by fever, weight loss, an enlarged spleen and liver and swollen glands. New cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis number 1.5 BILLION per year worldwide while the visceral leishmaniasis new yearly cases number 500,000. Infection can last for years and it only takes one bite from a sand fly to obtain the initial parasite.
LISTERIA - from chicken
TRICHINELLA - from pork
SPIROCHETE - this parasite is carried by lice, ticks, fleas, mites and flying biting insects who all transmit them to humans. They cause relapsing fever, jaundice, Lyme disease, Vincent angina and Wyles disease.
ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA - this is the most pathogenic amoeba for humans. It comes from contaminated water and foodstuffs and is spread through the anal - oral route. The infection causes bloody stools, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. They also affect the lungs and the brain. It usually takes 1-4 weeks for symptoms to show after becoming infected. The symptoms include loose stools, stomach pain and stomach cramping.
BALANTINIUM COLI - this comes from water that is contaminated with pig feces, such as pig farm run off water. This parasite stays in the intestinal mucous and causes diarrhea.
STRONGYLOIDES STERCORALIS - this is the most unusual of all of the parasites known to man. They can live with or without a host. The females can reproduce without a male. They infect the skin, then migrate to the lungs where they are coughed up and swallowed by the host. They then settle into the small intestine where they mature and reproduce.
ACANTHAMOEBA - can enter the skin through a cut, wound, or through the nostrils. Once inside the body, amebas can travel to the lungs and through the bloodstream to other parts of the body, especially the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
CYCLOSPORIASIS - First case reported in 1979 - it is now found worldwide. Symptoms include watery, explosive diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, bloating, gas, cramps, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, l ow-grade fever and fatigue. Symptoms show about one week after becoming infected and can last for days to months in cycles.
DIENTAMOEBA FRAGILIS - this parasite lives in the large intestines - it is found worldwide. Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach pain and cramping, loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea and fatigue. This parasite infection stays in the large intestine - it does not spread to other parts of the body.
THE NEMATODES (ROUNDWORMS)
These are what most people think of when it comes to human parasites. They are the pinworms, the whipworms, and the hookworms. They are of course bigger than the one-celled protozoa, but they are all round and small and can cause a staggering amount of damage. It is a big misconception that we actually eat worms to become infected - we actually ingest the microscopic eggs which then hatch in our bodies.
________________________________________________
PINWORMS - the #1 parasite in the North America and Europe. They cause an itchy anus, digestive problems, irritability and insomnia. They are the most readily seen of all of the species of parasites because they live in the colon and they come out at night to lay their eggs in the anus and on bedclothes. The adults are white and 1/2 inch long. The eggs can become airborne and are able to live without host for 2 days.
They are also transmitted by the anus - hand - mouth route. School age children followed by preschoolers have the highest infestation rates. If one member of a family has pinworms, it is highly likely that all members are infected. Children in day care centers and institutional settings are also at high risk for infestation from other children. If a child scratches, then touches something, the microscopic eggs are easily left for another child to put into their mouth.
HOOKWORMS - are also called ``Necator Americanus'' which means the American Murderer. They come from contaminated food and water. The eggs hatch in the intestines then migrate to the lungs through the bloodstream where they are coughed up and swallowed. They then travel back to the small intestine to reproduce. In the lungs they can cause pneumonia . In the intestines they hook themselves into the intestinal walls where each one drinks up to 1cc of blood per day causing bleeding and tissue death, not to mention anemia weakness. Hookworms from dogs and cats penetrate human skin and stay there causing skin problems and rashes including edema.
(We get these from pets licking us or us petting or grooming them.) Hookworms also cause asthma, eye pain, insomnia, and dry skin and hair. Itching and a rash at the site of where skin touched soil or sand is usually the first sign of infection. These symptoms occur when the larvae penetrate the skin. While a light infection may cause no symptoms, heavy infection can cause anemia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, l oss of appetite, and weight loss. Heavy, chronic infections can cause stunted growth and mental development.
WHIPWORMS - attach themselves to the intestinal wall where they inject their digestive fluid into the tissue which then turns into a liquid. They then suck up this liquid. This causes anemia, bloody stools, lower abdominal pain, weight loss and nausea. Each female can lay 10,000 eggs per day and each adult can live for several years. When the eggs are passed out through your feces (unseen) they are able to live for three weeks without a host. If you touch an object (public shopping cart, salt shaker, doorknob, etc.) that has an egg on it, then put your finger in your mouth - you are infected.
ASCARIS - is a round worm that lives in the small intestine. Adult female worms can grow to over 12 inches in length - adult males are smaller. Ascariasis is the most common human worm infection - children are infected more often than adults. Most people have no symptoms that are noticeable, but infection in children may cause slower growth and slower weight gain. If you are heavily infected, you may have abdominal pain. Sometimes, while the immature worms migrate through the lungs, you may cough and have difficulty breathing. If you have a very heavy worm infection, your intestines may become blocked. You may cough up an ascaris larvae or pass an adult worm in your stool. Ascaris eggs are found in human feces. After feces contaminates the soil, the eggs become infectious after a few weeks.
Infection occurs when a person accidentally ingests (swallows) infectious microscopic Ascaris eggs. Once in the stomach, immature worms hatch from the eggs. The larvae are carried through the lungs and then to the throat where they are swallowed. Once swallowed, they reach the intestines and develop into adult worms. Adult female worms lay eggs that are then passed in feces; this cycle will take between 2-3 months.
BAYLISASCARIS - this roundworm infects raccoons and other animals including humans. The eggs can live in the soil for YEARS. Humans become infected when they accidentally ingest the microscopic eggs from water, soil or other objects. The eggs hatch into larvae which travel through the body affecting organs and muscles. The symptoms - which can take a week or more to show - include nausea, fatigue, liver enlargement, loss of coordination and loss of muscle control. Severe cases can cause blindness and coma.
SCHISTOSOMIASIS - this infection comes from contaminated fresh water. Days after infection, itchy skin or a rash develops - after 1-2 months, fever, chills, cough and muscle aches set in. The body reacts to the eggs produced by these worms, not the worms themselves. The eggs can be found in the brain, spinal cord and can cause seizures, spinal cord inflammation and paralysis. The parasite can damage the liver, intestines, lungs and bladder.
THE TREMATODES (FLUKES)
The flukes are the hardest parasites to get rid of as they can stay in the human body for 10-20 years with each adult fluke living for one year. Flukes come from raw fish, undercooked water plants (such as watercress) and are also carried by dogs, cats and other fish-eating animals. They are also found in beef, chicken, pork and unwashed vegetables.
LIVER FLUKES- infect billary ducts and gall bladders. They start out as small white flattish worms - wider on one end and more narrow on the other. The young adults are various shades of pink while the older adults are bright red to almost black in color. The longer they live in the liver - the darker in color they become because the blood from the liver stains their skin.
LUNG FLUKES - are found in the lungs and are sometimes mistaken for lung cancer on x-rays. They cause cough, blood tinged mucous, and vague chest pains.
BLOOD FLUKES - travel all over the human body and into all organs including the brain and spinal cord. They can cause seizures and they destroy red blood cells.
THE CESTODES (TAPEWORMS)
Most tapeworms are 1/2 inch long and are a grayish white color, but there are some species that can grow to 33 feet long and can lay over 1 million eggs per day. Tapeworm bodies are mostly reproductive organs. Their head hooks into the intestinal wall, the length of their bodies is made up of section that are nothing but ovaries and testes for reproduction and their ``tails'' release these eggs. These eggs hatch into larvae that can migrate to other parts of the
human body and can form cysts. Even if the sections are broken off, the tapeworm can regenerate itself from only it's head. Some tapeworms can live for 25 years.
_______________________
PORK TAPEWORMS - are carried by undercooked pork or by the anus- hand-mouth route. They can incubate in the human body for up to 30 years before reproducing. They can affect the eyes and the brain. The infection is called CYSTICERCOSIS. When the cysticerci are found in the brain, the condition is called neurocysticercosis. Once inside the body, the tapeworm egg hatches, penetrates the intestine, travels through the bloodstream and may develop into cysticerci in the muscles, brain or eyes. Signs and symptoms of infection will depend on how many there are and where in the body they are located. You may feel lumps in the muscles, under the skin.
They may float in the eyes causing blurry or disturbed vision. They c an also cause swelling of the eyes. In the brain, they cause headaches and seizures - they also cause confusion, lack of attention, balance difficulties and swelling of the brain (hydrocephalus). Heavy infections can cause sudden death.
FISH TAPEWORM - this is the largest of the species, it can grow to 33 feet in length. It causes anemia, water retention and weight gain as it makes the host uncontrollably hungry.
DOG TAPEWORMS - are passed along to us from cats and dogs through petting and grooming. It is called DIPYLIDIUM CANINUM - it is found throughout the world. The adult tapeworm is made up of many small segments - the tapeworm itself can measure 4-28 inches long - each segment is about the size of a grain of rice. As the adult tapeworms matures inside the intestines, these segments break off and pass in the stool - they look like grains of rice - are hard and are a white/slightly yellowish color.
These segments are about 2mm long and are what contains the tapeworm eggs.
Alveolar Echinococcosis - AE disease results from being infected with the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis, a microscopic tapeworm (1-4 millimeters) found in foxes, coyotes, dogs, and cats. Although human cases are rare, infection in humans causes parasitic tumors to form in the liver, and, less commonly, the lungs, brain, and other organs.
If left untreated, infection with AE can be fatal. AE is caused by tumor-like or cyst-like tapeworm larvae growing in the body. AE usually involves the liver, but can spread to other organs of the body. Because the cysts are slow-growing, infection with AE may not produce any symptoms for many years. Pain or discomfort in the upper abdominal region, weakness, and weight loss may occur as a result of the growing cysts. Symptoms may mimic those of liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver.
________________________________________
Please read the following - it is IMPORTANT information about a new American Epidemic called Morgellons Disease - It's a parasite infection that causes "fibers" to come out of skin lesions - the fibers themselves are alive - MANY people with Morgellons are being told that it is "all in their heads". This has gotten quite a bit of national press lately and we have been flooded with questions and concerns. Here is an informative report:
The Following Six Signs or Symptoms Are The Basis of Morgellons Disease 1. Skin lesions, both spontaneously appearing and self-generated, with intense itching. The former may initially appear as ``urticarial-like'', or as ``pimple-like'' with or without a white center.
The latter appear as linear or ``picking'' excoriations. Even when not self-generated, lesions often progress to open wounds that heal abnormally and usually incompletely. (e.g., heal very slowly with discolored epidermis or seal over with a thick gelatinous outer layer.)
2. Crawling sensations, both within and on the skin surface. Often conceptualized by the patient as ``bugs moving, stinging or biting'' intermittently. Besides the general dermis, may also involve the scalp, nares, ear canal, and body hair or hair follicles. The sensations are at times related to the presence of easily seen insects, arthropods, and other human and non-human associated parasites that require serious attention from the observing clinician.
3. Fatigue significant enough to interfere with the activities for daily living. 4. Cognitive difficulties, including measurable short term memory and attention deficit, as well as difficulty processing thoughts correctly. Described by patients as "brain fog".
5. Behavioral effects are common in many patients. Many have been or will be diagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. A minority do not show this pattern.
Almost all, if previously seen by well-read physicians without prolonged observation, will have been labeled as ``Delusional Parasitosis''. Temporal relationship to skin lesion onset is not known. 6.``Fibers'' are reported in and on skin lesions. They are generally described by patients as white, but clinicians also report seeing blue, green, red, and black fibers, that fluoresce when viewed under ultraviolet light (Wood's lamp).
Objects described as ``granules'', similar in size and shape to sand grains, can occasionally be removed from either broken or intact skin by physicians, but are commonly reported by patients. Patients report seeing black ``specks'' or ``dots'' on or in their skin, as well as unusual 1-3 mm ``fuzzballs'' both in their lesions and on (or falling from) intact skin.
OTHER COMMONLY REPORTED SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS 1. Change in visual acuity. 2. Numerous neurological findings. A variety of neurological symptoms have been reported. Some patients have been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, and other well-known and recognized disorders, while others display significant symptoms not falling into any well-defined neurological category. 3. Gastrointestinal symptoms, which may include dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux, and/or changes in bowel habits often similar to Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
4. Neuropsychiatric symptoms and signs, ranging from mood or personality changes to diagnosed disorders including Attention Deficit Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and occasionally frank psychosis. Temporal relationship to skin lesion onset is not known
5. Acute changes in skin texture and pigment. The skin is variously thickened and thinned, with an irregular texture and irregular hyperpigmentation pattern. The changes resemble age associated sun-exposure skin damage, but typically appear acutely
6. Skin examination often reveals excoriated and/or crusted lesions which, on examination with lighted magnification, are seen to have inclusions of variously colored (white, blue, black, or red) fibers. Skin examination may also reveal multiple hyper-pigmented macules, and an increase of what appears to be villous hair on arms and face. 7. Arthralgias are reported by many patients.
8. Associated diagnoses which have been commonly reported in this patient population include Borreliosis (better known as Lyme Disease), Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
OTHER COMMONLY REPORTED OBSERVATIONS 1. Most patients will have sought care from multiple medical care providers. A large number will have been diagnosed with Delusional Parasitosis likely because of the juxtaposition of unexplained skin lesions and sensations and psychiatric overlay. Unfortunately, almost none will have received an appropriate diagnostic physical examination (particularly a microscopic or biopsy examination of lesions), but will have been diagnosed by history alone with grossly incomplete observation.
2. Most of these patients feel abandoned by the traditional medical care system and have sought alternative care providers or have self medicated, seriously compounding an already difficult medical situation
LABORATORY AND OTHER DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION To date, there have been no formal laboratory or imaging studies done in this patient group. There are some reasonably consistent clinical findings, however, that need further examination, in controlled studies, to be corroborated or refuted.

I'm just upping this since someone sent me 2 e-mails about the subject....
I'm not an expert on the subject. I just started learning about it, myself.
You could probably get a PhD in studying just one aspect of parasites...

I've had various types of parasites. According to muscle testing, I'm dealing with an ascaris infection now. I've seen two recently in my stool. Yeah when they're 12 in long, you don't miss them.
My first big improvement with Lyme treatment was when I did a parasite cleanse. Don't underestimate the importance of it. I also had a HUGE tapeworm.

Sparkle,
Thanks for all the great info. I have researched the Morgellons info in the past. Everyone with Morgellons has been dx with Lyme disease.
I noticed that the so-called fibers look exactly like the colored fibers on lymephotos. Morgellons is just a name someone like you or I came up with. I really think it is caused by the Filarial Worms.
Six,
I have/had the ascaris infection also. Be on the lookout for the eggs as well. I understand from Hulda Clark that cloves is the only herb that kills the eggs. Do you know?
The worms that came out of me measured 18-20". I couldn't believe it. I had a lot of them. Hopefully, there gone but one can never be too sure. I am on my second day of Humaworm just to make sure. Still on salt/c as well.
I agree, we can't underestimate the importance of this. I think if we get rid of the parasites, we have a much better chance of getting well.
Thanks for posting this invaluable info.

Thanks for the info.Is it safe to do all these while rifing? I just order a Dan Tracy and am so excited. I can't wait to get off these antibiotics that are tearing up my insides. I will take them if I have to but need a break and want to give rifing a try.
Take Care, Ann

I don't know if I would mix them. They are all very strong treatments.
You may be able to alternate them but just go slow & be cautious.
I've read that many people with Lyme have great success with the Rife machines.

Thanks, that's great, springshowers.
I didn't want to think I had parasites but I do! I'm taking a black walnut hull, wormwood, & clove herbal formula & it's working!
I'll spare everyone the gory details.
I think this may have been my bottleneck for getting well all of these years.

That's the Hulda Clark strategy.
How long are you on it for and what is your regiment?
What symptoms are improving for you?
Where did you get the formula?

I'm gonna start zapping with the ultimate zapper --I tested well for this as a broad-spectrum bug killer--and humaworm customized without cascara sagrada and senna--we can do without the harsh laxatives.
The Ultimate Zapper seems to be the most powerful zapper (per curezone) and has a lifetime warranty.
I have no financial ties to either company.

Joey, I just wanted to ask you did you feel energised at all when you first started taking the Super Wormwood Blend? I started taking it today and do seem to have more energy and a bit less brain fog but I've also just started energy tapping too, so it could be that, so was curious about your experience..
Thnx

Seek,
The lymephotos site was always about the parasites that Lyme patients probably have. The salt/c seemed to take over as the topic instead of the parasites as the focus.
Even though I still believe strongly in the salt/c protocol. I also think that the parasite/worm connection is a huge problem in Lyme patients and if we don't eradicate them it will be very difficult to get well.
Persistence is the key whether you are taking antiparasitic herbs or salt/c etc. They have to be repeated many times. I hope I am being clear and that is why I started the Filarial Worm thread connection.
Sparkle has been great in helping with and bringing forth a lot of excellent info on this subject. I hope this makes sense,
Gael

In regard to Super Wormwood Blend, how much do you take? How long to see effects?
How long to complete treatment? Is it ok to take along with antibiotics?

The Humaworm has wormwood, black walnut, and cloves .... the three basic items for the Hulda Clark parasite cleanse, and has many other herbs as well.
Anyone have a problem with fish roundworms? That one has shown up as a problem for me.

Does anyone know how a KMT compares to a zapper? Its electrical with a parasite setting.

I'm just going to build up the super wormwood and see how I go, Ive had feelings of nausea already just on one capsule so I guess its doing something.
Ive no idea how long it will take im just going to finish the pot and see how I feel, tho with parasites as people have said its normally recommended to continue to treat every so often as its so easy to pick them up from food, water, other people, animals etc. at least if you read Hulda Clark's The Cure for All Diseases which can make you rather paranoid!!
Also ideally its best if you combine with cloves as that will target the eggs.
I should imagine that its fine to take with abx.
I should add that I'm taking the wormwood for worms, im not doing a full parasite cleanse, the 3 herbs sixgoofykids mentioned are best for that.

I'm taking a blend with black walnut hulls, wormwood, & cloves...
I feel like crap today. It's like some kind of herx. Mostly pain in my shoulders & back, some naseaua (spelling?). I've been eating light & having some juices & ginger & green tea.
Also clay & psylium & some charcoal. Yesterday, I felt somewhat better but today it's back down to feeling crappy.
I saw some flukes come out. I haven't seen anything else. I hope this works!
Does anyone know if these herbs can cause a Lyme herx or if it's something related to parasites?

Sparkle,
You definitely can herx from those herbs. I think they can cause a Lyme herx as well as a parasite herx.
I have Bells Palsy of the gut and that is one of the places borrelia resides as well as parasites and some worms. Hope you feel better, but hey at least you know the herbs are working.

I am just now considering parasites as the cause of some of my troubles.
When my LLMD mentioned it to me this week I was shocked. Never in a million years did I think I had that problem. Honestly, I didn't even know it was possible to have a problem in humans.
So, now I am trying to educate myself and this is an excellent place to start.
I am having two stool test done next week. One for parasites and one yeast. In a way I hope they find something so I will know what is wrong with me and in a way I hope they don't because this topic makes me squeamish.

Did you notice immediate improvement in your symptoms? I am wondering if you were suffering from low energy or hypoglycemia.
I have it in my mind these two conditions of mine might be related to parasites.
Thanks,

m0joey- you said you had some sort of precise parasite test on the Progurt thread. Do you think you have parasites despite of the test? Or was the test just for specific types of bugs?
I think there are lot of parasites that they may not even test for that may be microscopic. I not getting phobic about it. I just think this is a big possibility.
The anti-parasitic herb may help in any case.
Someone posted a link to an article that says that cytomeglia (CMV) virus may be responsible for high blood pressure. The more research they do, the more likely they will see that many health issues may be caused by things that they never knew.
The thing I find that is mind blowing is that the parasites themselves may have viruses or fungus...

hi sparkle,
i was going to try to read most of this, but it's gone SUPER WIDE; took me forever to figure out why since NO long email address was shown.
it's your LONG LINE going across the page; please edit where each of these long lines are to 50-75% of length you had; then it will go back to NORMAL width reading.
also, can't remember who, but someone posting towards the bottom, please break up your post by adding DOUBLE SPACING between each paragraph so we neuros can read/comprehend what you have posted.
sparkle, some of your informative paragraphs went on forever; could you break them up also? big thanks xox
to both of you, just click on the POST WITH LONG LINES in, click PENCIL, 3rd box to right of your name to open up text to correct the problems.
big thanks; i'm interested in this, and gael has been a good source of info.
once the problems are straightened out, i'll add to my home file links package that used to be online to help others ....

Thnx Joey, I hve that worm too and I think the wormwood is helping me so far.
Sparkle as far as I understand stool tests will only be able to pick up parasites in the large intestine, not ones that might be harbouring further up the digestive tract in the small intestine or the liver etc. Its very difficult to pick these up, although I guess if you are energy testing that might give you more answers.
I guess its very much like metals in that regard isnt it that in that there is no regular test that will tell exactly where they are and how much of a load you are carrying, some tests might suggest it but otherwise you go by your symptoms and see if you respond to treatment.
Hulda Clark of course says that all illnesses are due to parasites (plus metals & other pollutants) so if you are ill just assume you have them and treat anyway.

Ive started tapping (doing MFT similar to EFT) the last couple days too and feel that its really helping to trigger the release of bile as Ive had a lot of green bowel movements today, which I havent had for a long time. The only other new thing I'm doing is taking Super Wormwood Blend and I cant imagine that is causing this reaction although I guess I cant be certain.
It involves tapping on specific points on the meridians eg gallbladder, which is what made me suspect it is down to that.
Anyway I just wanted to post this for anyone else who has liver congestion as if it is the tapping, I'm really surprised and impressed that its having this effect and just shows what a powerful effect it is having on my system. Plus its another more gentle option for people & free too!!
If anyone else tries it and gets similar results Id love to hear.

Someone here gave me some info about the tapping but I always forget to do it. I heard that Dr K & some other man invented it (MFT) but the EFT people took over. I don't know if i would say they "stole' it but I don't know. I don't know enough about it.
Good to hear it helps.
So much to study!

I felt worse before I felt better. This was about a year and a half ago for me that I first treated for parasites. I was about 8 months or so into Lyme treatment. I was very ill at the time.
Bart and parasite treatment lifted the fog for me for the first time and I was able to enjoy some normal activities like bike rides, etc. I still couldn't over do it, but I had some times that I felt like a real person again.
I did have extremely low energy. I do have hypoglycemia, but I think it's unrelated and I control it by diet. You might look at the kryptopyrroluria thread, it's been a huge help for me.

Yes I know what you mean, I'd heard of EFT helping some people recover from CFS yrs ago but I never got round to trying it properly myself as I was either occupied with something else or like you would just forget.
I'm really glad I'm trying it now tho as I feel its really doing something and its helped me to think about it terms of "finger acupuncture" so makes it a more viable therapy for me.
Yes theres a lot to learn isnt there??!!

i think treating emotional issues is probably the most important step to long-term recovery, along with changing the body's environment (pH & oxygen levels).
It's not about killing every bug. It's about keeping them benign.

I have done EFT, psychotherapy, Insight, meditation for 4 mos straight, Reiki, juicing, acupuncture, Chakra balancing ph miracle program for a number of months and got rid of a lot of emotional stuff.
But really, the ONLY things that are getting rid of these infections is to treat aggressively and kill these pathogens that have invaded my body. I have seen some fierce looking parasites exit my body into the toilet!! I for one want them ALL out of me before they do any more damage.

glm, do you feel any better since you have begun treatment?
Also, how long does it usually take to completely rid oneself of the parasites?
I started Lyme, Barts and Babs treatments in April. Is it too soon to try and get rid of the parasites too? I am at a loss.
I want to talk to my LLMD about this subject more, but don't have an appointment for two more weeks.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Leelee,
According to Dr. K. getting rid of the parasites and worms makes it easier to get rid of the rest of the infections. It is like peeling an onion.
The worms hold onto and protect the bacteria. If your LLMD is not in touch with the fact that parasites are a MAJOR problem with Lyme patients then you need to educate him.
If he is resistent then find a ND that is familiar, but don't ignore this. It can take several yrs to get rid of them depending on how long you have had them. They are master survivalists.

Six,
Could you explain in more detail, like where do you see it exuding from etc. I have experienced sticky goo on my scalp and from under my breasts in conjunction with a rash.

I have been taking humaworm for about 2 months. I have thick slivia, I am wondering if this is due to parasites.
I really believe their is a missing link to all this lyme stuff. I also think Gail has hit the nail on the head with some of us that's aren't well, after years of treatment.

The thick white stuff about the size of a wine cork was in the toilet. It more or less maintained it's shape. It was such a large amount that it seemed like it must be something relevant. Happened twice, two trips to the bathroom in a row. Nothing else with it.
To life, do you drink enough? You should pulse the Humaworm .... 30 days on, 90 days off, according to the Humaworm website. It's very strong stuff.

Hi TO LIFE,
Drooling is one of the symptoms of parasites, so I would imagine that thick saliva could fit into that category. Just so you know, I think you are only suppossed to take humaworm every 90 days.
There are in-between herbs that you csn take and also the liver and kidney flushes. I am also doing humaworm for the first time and plan on doing the in-between herbs.
AliP is the one that told me about the in-between herbs. You can also check out the symptom list at humaworm. Yes, I absolutely believe that Parasites and worms are the missing link from my own and others experiences. I really believe getting rid of them is key to the road back to health.

It seems like so much speculation in this thread. I'm not saying parasites aren't very real. Just a lot of maybe this, maybe that. I guess I'm a black and white kind of guy.
I may try Humaworm one more time some month. Didn't do squat for me the first time, but you never know.

Ummm...people seeing parasites and worms in the toilet is not speculation. Trying to get rid of them takes persistence over many months even yrs depending on how long you are sick.
One humaworm treatment is not enough. I did 6 months straight of some very strong Chinese herbs and then started salt/c. Stuff came pouring out of me for weeks. They are masters at survival.
You may want to take what's called the in between herbs as well. Seek, wasn't that a picture of a worm that you posted when you did humaworm?
