My LLMD uses them for testing so I imagine that she thinks pretty highly of them.
She had me do a round of testing with them and the results seemed to be consistent with some other testing I had done elsewhere. Although I think the Parasitology Center actually did a bit more in depth testing then the other place did.
Seems to be a good place from what I can gather. I had heard of it from somewhere else too before my LLMD had me do their testing.

Do they recommend treatments or do they leave it up to the doctor...? I read on their website that you can get the testing done on your own but they will only mail the results to a doctor or chiro.
Did you get a blood test or a stool analysis or both?
Thanks.

I don't think they recommend any treatments. My LLMD gave me the results and it was just the tests and results...I don't remember seeing any treatment recommendations.
I did the blood test and stool analysis.

It's really tricky... Most doctors don't have any experience with all of this. When I showed my doctor photos of stuff coming out of me - he didn't know what to say. I think he told me to call the CDC or something.
I've been using herbs. I'd like to get a better idea of what I'm dealing with, though. Does anyone have any further info about possible treatments. I've read some of the drugs can be pretty toxic.
There are alot of different parasites. One drug generally effects one parasite (that's what I read, anyway) - so, you have to take different ones depending on what you are treating.
Many of the drugs have not been extensively tested for safety from what I've read.
Some people do well with herbs or salt/C protocol. The parasites can be in many areas... blood, intestines, lungs, skin, brain... Seems a combination approach would be a good idea.
Any good results from a particular thing or suggestions?
