Re: Parasite/Candida testing
Hi yoe
I would also start with mebendazole if you'are sure its worms. Here's a secondary benefit: I was taking albendazole for pinworms and i was expelling
Ascaris :) which i did not know i have.
Re- tests: the lab should have a definitive records of succesfull findings between the patients.
for me the candida blood tests was useless and the urine one the same "arahncoidic acid" or something like that :). Usual lab stool samples the same. The same with throat culture, urine culture etc. So i would say the same for testing...
BUT last year a microscope old school test performed by an old man (recommended by patients) discovered "A LOT OF SPORES AND LEVURES OF CANDIDA". so i guess its a question of method and performance.
the
parasites tests were the same except scotch tape test for pinworms and giardia.
If you have some money i would search a bit for Metametrix, Genova or dr.Amin labs in US for
parasites tests (private labs). They can help also with yeast discovery except dr.Amin (or Amir) i guess. As you probably know already bacterial infection go togheter with candida and
parasites so you should think also about that. For example Hpilory could be the underlying cause for AF anxiety
Depression and so on..
"I'm pretty convinced I have either parasites OR candida as chronic infection (for specific reasons), either being underlying causes/complementary, whatever. But I'm pretty sure it's not AF alone."
I got it man! Many times AF is started by chronic infections but we see just the end of this process outcomes/symptoms of AF.
Good luck in France!
