Thank you! Questions re: chronic longtime infestation: Can it occasionally cause scattered, persistant, lumpy little blisters on the trunk and along the lymphatics of the upper legs? Can it impact the thyroid from its toxins? Is it more active while the patient is sleeping? (Many parasites are nocturnal.) Hunting around for the eggs sounds like looking for “a needle in a haystack” . And now that our health system is overwhelmed.... is there a better way to diagnose? Is there a way to “challenge” or “provoke”the parasites? (Make them mad, show themselves, start to kick them out..), By using artemisinin, diatomaceous earth, or oil of oregano, quinine, etc.? And PS: ALL US waters have sewage in them. Especially after floods, hurricanes, aging municipal systems failures, etc. “Farm-raised” fish commonly used by our restaurants, are often from GROSS ponds.

I'm pretty sure i have some sort of disseminated parasite infection due to my extreme symptoms, and also a physical examination inside my skin.

I pulled a flat cream coloured worm partly out of my forehead tissue after I cut open a lesion and used tweezers to try to get whatever it was. When I let go of the worm to look, it slithered back into my forehead going under my eyebrow. Seemed long and flat..

I've seen so many specialists that are simply denying any parasite and also denying me further investigation into a very likely parasitic infection of sorts.

One specialist literally told me to accept what I've got and to ignore it. How am I supposed to ignore what literally takes over my whole body during an attack. They're/it is literally in my scalp, face, eye socket tissue, neck, back, and more. I can literally feel them squirming and slithering around, and I can feel them literally biting or eating my muscle tissues..

I need help. I'm in Canada. I've got an extremely resilient infection and has stood up against numerous anti parasitic regimens to no avail.

The naturopath that I saw was immediately convinced that I had a parasitic infection of sorts and started me on some powerful anti parasitic herbs which caused an immense response from the worms. I think this/these things need to be surgically removed!

Help me please, anyone.

Question: is praziquantel, besides being an antihelminth, is it also considered an antibiotic? Also, approx. how long (2-3 months?) after taking the praziquantel, do RBC counts and hemoglobin levels begin to measurably rise? -And how can US patients procure some, if their doctors refuse to prescribe it??? THANK YOU
