symptoms - intestinal worms

[gorbybelle]

Hi, everyone, - I haven't been posting as much recently - I have been feeling quite a bit 'better' [touch wood] - and so have been a lot busier of late - more energy/optimism etc;

I find this wierd - that is some of you will probably remember my post about 'intestinal parasites [worms!!] - well to cut a long story short - I took doxy 10 days - was in bed - only drinking water 4 days - had severe diarhea didn't last long - then when I had bowel movement - there was 'white fatty' stuff ? - doc told me to take 'mebendazol' - 2 days later 'lots more white fatty stuff' - that is it looked 'fatty' but that is only a way of describing it - the point is I have since researched a bit into 'intestinal worms' and found they can cause a lot of symptoms which are included in the list of lyme symptoms - ie;muscle spasms - joint pains - itchy skin - etc;

I just wanted to pass this info. on - as 'worms' can also affect the immune system - it is worth doing a bit of research into this - I know it is an embarassing subject for some - but who cares if it helps.

I think I will take the one you guys have taken I dont think I am infested but it sounded like a good precaution to take anyway,

mebendazol  is the standard deworming medication.  Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't depending on the amount or seriousness of infestation.  I works against all worms.

If you aren't feeling better after taking this then you really need a full digestive workup.

I have had tapeworm , I know how horrible you can feel, and tapeworm is on of the most difficult of all worms to get rid of.

It is a good idea to have your stool tested every 2 weeks for 3 mo after treatment to make sure there is nothing active or new eggs.

I have not taken Humaworm myself yet but I have read about other people taking it. They pack their stuff with powerful herbs, so you could herx from taking it. Everyone reacts different. I think their website has a FAQ section and mentions what to expect for herxing, if any at all. Hopefully you don't at all.

Was something that ott70 put in her post , above

I took a tablet called 'mebendazol' just bought it from pharmacy - not sure which specific 'worms' this eradicates - but there were absolutely no side effects.

I don't know anything about Humaworm.

I have just been to the site I have ordered the Humaworm it cant hurt to use it... I have enough going on at presant do you get any side effects from taking the stuff ? has anyone any experience form taking it I should know and thanks for the information guys.

[gorbybelle]

you probably all realise how easy it is to ingest worms or their eggs - e.g: gardening - eating salads - undercooked meat - handling wildlife/pets [especially puppies] - when I say worms I mean 'parasites' - it is easier to write

I guess it is a 'funny' subject - I never considered 'worms' untill my 'experience' - may always wonder if that is what 'it' was?

I will tell you what though I will be taking regular 'de-worming' tablet - Ha! Ha! - just thought- maybe I would be best consulting a veterinarian instead of LLMD !!! [vets. have more lyme knowledge]

take care 'all'

There's a lengthy discussion about parasites on the Lymenet board and the feeling is most Lymies have them. In fact, I would venture to guess most people have them period, but those that are healthy are able to keep them suppress with a functioning immune system.

Check out the Humaworm website. They have a symptoms list that you will probably find match most of what you are feeling. Not saying parasites are your only issue but it's probably another factor to consider addressing.

I think it's reasonable to consider parasites and you probably won't find too many doctors that would disagree. Proving it is a whole different matter though, kind of like proving chronic Lyme.

So are we saying that this is prevalent for folks with Lyme I havent seen it mentioned anywhare in symptoms lists.or is it just amnother little surprse we get .....LOL enlighten me guys  before I faint.Maybe I better get some humorworm

[skarey]

I've read about this on another forum as well.   I've heard about the Humaworm being good too.  You can google humaworm for more info.

[ott70]

Parasite cleansing would be highly recommended. In some other forums, there are staunch supporters of cleansing out parasites/worms to help get rid of Lyme or at least immune-suppress it.

There are probably quite a few cleanses to consider out there. Hulda Clark is a name I see of some doctor that has a protocol. Humaworm is a brand I see suggested many times and it's probably something I am going to try here in a month or two. A lot of info about Humaworm at the "curezone" website. In fact, the company answers questions posted there.
