My brother grabbed my arm today (close to my shoulder), and was like woah, what happened to you?
my skin became very hard. It's not soft.. like when you pinsh me.. it's very hard. I don't know how to explain it, but when you do that to someone else their skin on both sides touch each other... mine doesn't. it's like that fat hardened or something, and when someone pinches me it's very hard and thick....

I am not sure if i am making any sense, but does that happen to you?

Also, I noticed that my hands are a lot thinner (the bones).

My skin used to literally glow, women loved it. Now it looks grey, wrinkled and generally dirty/sick. The damage these bugs cause is unreal.

My skin used to be like this, but changed back to it's natural softness after I treated for parasites.

Parasite treatment apparently cures everything.

Yes, jess, my skin is like that too.

Lou,

I was deathly ill for yrs and treated with abx for 4 yrs. I am sure they saved my life. I never said parasite tx cured everything, but it sure alleviated a lot of my symptoms and also is leading me into a state of wellness.

Why would you knock something that could work for you, especially if your still sick?

The symptoms for parasites are very similar to the symptoms for Lyme disease. A lot of people are still very sick just treating with antibiotics alone.

Dr.K. treats ALL of his patients for parasites/worms before he treats the other infections. There must be a reason for this, especially since he is one of the leading doctors in the country.

Maybe adding antiparasitics could help you turn the corner as well.

Willy Burgdorfer found Adult Filarial Worms in the ticks he dissected and as an aside found BB. Check out

www.lymephotos.com

Most people have parasites and especially those sick with Lyme. Please do a search at the top and type the word parasites into the search bar for more info.
