I first learned about it via skinparasitesebook.com (I think that’s the address). Since then, I”ve read about it multiple times...everyone’s suggestions are a little different. What I meant by ”bitter” vegetables is just anything that isn’t sweet. For example, alfalfa sprouts are ”sweet” (too bad, as I love them) so aren’t okay, and same goes with green peas. However, most lettuces are a little bitter, so they’re great (like romaine, spinach, celery, cucumber, etc). Anything bordering on bitter is usually great (parasites usually hate bitter, hands-down). In my experience, you ca ...

Some good advice given here. I wanted to add that one of the best things to do to combat parasite infections while waiting to take the next dose is to find a diet that will feed you and NOT feed the parasites. I have been learning a LOT about diet and it drops my parasite symtpoms to *almost* where I feel normal again. Everyone’s parasites and bodies will be different, but in *general*, an anti-parasite diet means you can eat: eggs chicken (possibly red meat, possibly not) non-gluten grains like brown rice, quinoa, millet, amaranth bitter green vegetables (possibly) toma ...

I agree with many of you---different parasites will respond differently to different things, just as some body types will be able to eat one thing whereas others can’t. I’m just sharing what is working for me, and it seems that diet is an oft-neglected tool in our warfare, yet is perhaps the most important one of all. For a person wondering what works, an elimination diet might be best. Start out on just eggs and brown rice, two things that *most* parasites will not be able to feed off of. See if your symptoms decrease within a few days. If so, you’ll know you’re on to something. ...

I’ve read that it’s can be a good idea to do a bowel cleanse before taking a parasite cleanse, simply because it removes a lot of the stuff that the parasites like to hide behind. I don’t think it’s necessary, but at the same time, it can be a positive addition. If a person is very regular though (has bowel movements a couple times a day, etc), I would imagine the need for a bowel cleanse wouldn’t be quite so strong. Probably the most important thing is just to keep regular DURING the parasite cleanse itself. As for diflucan, I would imagine it would be unecessary if you are going ...

That’s interesting. I’m in the middle end of my humaworm cleanse and I’ve lost my appetite, for the most part. I don’t think it has to do with humaworm, though. I’m just eating healthy and staying really busy. Maybe the ravenous appetite has to do with the fact that worms have died and so your body is finally able to absorb the nutrients that they were stealing? Meaning, maybe you’re not actually hungry for food but for the nutrients/vitamins/minerals/etc *in* the food? So maybe trying to add some good powerhouse nutritional foods (like spirulena) might help?   [End]

Now that I’m realizing my problem is probably *mites* and not folliculitis, I see why I would do things that would work, but a week later my problem would come back.

I’m currently in the middle of doing a humaworm cleanse with myself and five children (ages 2-8). (I’ve not ever used anything else, so I can’t compare it with any others).

It’s affordable, it works, and the children’s capsules are SO easy to swallow (though I open the 24 month old’s up and mix the powder with a touch of olive oil and honey--he’s not quite old enough to swallow a capsule yet). I can’t say enough good things about humaworm’s product. I love that it also kills candida/yeast, etc!

If the blood is bright red, then it’s flowing from somewhere close by your ”exit.” The likeliest culprit would be a hemmerhoid (sp?). There are some called, ”bleeders,” that are painless but do bleed with bowel movements. If that’s what you have, they’re not dangerous, though it’s a sign that the diet needs more fiber and/or that you need to be careful not to strain when having bowel movements or to sit on the toilet for a long time (both of which help cause and maintain hemmerhoids) but to wait until the ”urge” is on you to go to the bathroom.   [End]

I usually add half a lemon to it, too, though I’m not sure if that’s okay (fruit and veggies can mix or can’t?)...it feels okay in my stomach, in any case, unlike the cabbage concoction did that I made-lol. I bought a huge bag of organic carrots, but we all can’t stand the carrot juice. It felt waaaay too sweet (though I don’t think I diluted it with water at all--that might have helped) and I felt sick afterwards. Maybe it was detoxing, b ...

The BEST *quick* aid for a yeast infection is an overnight garlic clove placed in the birth canal area. Right before you’re ready to lay down for the night, get a piece of cotton gauze (such as is found in a first aid kit) and a garlic clove (peel off the paper on the clove). Roll the garlic clove in the gauze so that each side of the bulb is touching gauze (you can cut off the extra gauze width-wise so that only a thin layer surrounds the garlic clove, but do leave the length of the gauze alone so that you can easily pull the clove out in the morning...it makes a perfect ”tail” for ...

I would advise getting it taken out. I’ve heard some horror stories about it embedding into the uterine wall, etc, so my bet would be the faster you can get it out, the better.   [End]

I’m on Day Two of Dr. Schulze’s 5-Day colon cleanse program and am really impressed! I like the stuff he uses in the capsules, I liked his book that came with the program and how it explained what was going on, and am generally impressed. I have a pretty healthy diet and have bowel movements 2-3 times a day anyway, but before I did the parasite, kidney and liver cleanses, I wanted to do the bowel just in case. With ingredients like the ones he’s got, I’m sure it will be very beneficial for me!   [End]

I am *loving* our new juicer (Omega 8003) and so are my kids (it’s our new homeschool science project-lol), and so am wanting to start growing wheat and barley grasses for juicing. I have wheat berries that I use in grain grinding for flour. Can I grow those, or do I need to have a special type of wheat seed? Same with barley--do I need unhulled seeds? Also, are some wheat and barley varieties better than others for growing grass, or does it not really matter? Thanks much! Warmly, HZ   [End]

I agree that an already sensitive child should be kept off of dairy, including dairy in things like mashed potatoes, etc. Blood in the stool is an important sign that needs to be noticed and respected. Two of my children are sensitive/allergic to milk. I’ve found that they can tolerate cultured milk products, like yogurt or buttermilk, okay. (So I’ve learned to do a lot of cooking with yogurt and buttermilk--lol)! Many children who can’t handle cow’s milk can handle goat’s milk, which is very similar in composition to human breast milk, so that might be something to try and can pr ...

If it really is a boil, then it’s likely caused by a staph infection (that’s the usual cause of a boil). If you went to a conventional Doc, he/she would put you on an antibiotic as well as lance the boil if that was necessary. If you don’t want to go to a conventional Doc, then you need to move on these boils quickly, because staph isn’t something to play around with. I suggest tea tree oil (melaleluca alternafolia) applied topically to the boils 3-5 times a day, as it is proven to kill staph in a multitude of labratory tests, accompanied some sort of good antibacterial herb or extr ...

Not knowing what is causing the folluculitis on my scalp, but wanting it GONE, I’m soaking my scalp in undilulted Apple Cider Vinegar. I use a full half cup and once I’ve saturated every part, I’ve been wrapping a towel around it and leaving it on for 30 minutes to a couple hours. It seems to be really helping, though I’m not sure yet (I’ve only done it 6 times in the past 3-4 days). Since I would assume ACV would be extremely unfriendly to little parasites, along with going after bacteria and fungi, I wonder if that would help with your scalp condition? I agree with you on listenin ...

I am dealing with folliculitis (large painful itchy zit-like bumps) on my scalp, a weird thing that began a few months ago on my back and has moved into my scalp. Long term folliculitis *will* cause balding...hence my absolute interest in getting rid of the folliculitis (lol). Last week, I kept thinking about soaking my head in ACV...so I started doing it. I used about half-cup full strength ACV and a large bowl, and just dumped it all over, collecting the run-off in the bowl and reapplying it until my head is literally drippingly soaked, then wrapping my head in a towel and letting i ...

If it’s a bacteria-induced boil, medicinal strength tea tree oil is an excellent aid in getting rid of it. It should be fairly easy to find, though you want to find one that is cold pressed or otherwise extracted in a way that preserves the medicinal aspects---it goes by ”tea tree oil” or it’s scientific name, ”melaleuca alternafolia”. It will kill the infection that causes boils (usually staph). You just swab it onto the boil with your finger, probably 5-8 times a day. It will sink down up to an inch into the skin and kill whatever it is causing it (bacteria or yeast). And I woul ...

Thanks for the info. So where is this Doctor located and how much does the office charge?   [End]

I don’t know what form because it’s weird...it’s on my back, scalp and sometimes face. I am using medicinal essential oil on my back and face (lavendar oil from Young Living and Oil of Oregano) and that seems to (slowly) kill them. But my scalp is different, as it’s hard to find the bumps and I’m never sure if I got the oil on the bumps or just mostly on my hair...and I don’t have the money to buy numerous bottles of expensive essential oils. My head also itches...a lot... So I’ve been thinking/dreaming about pouring raw apple cider vinegar all over my head for almost a week no ...

As in 150 dollars for a crown? Wow. And the $30---that includes the dental work of getting out the old filling and putting a new one in? Sorry for the questions, but I’m fairly new to this. I’ve known that mercury-amalgamum is a dangerous sustance, but yet I’ve felt like I have no other options (my current dental care is free).   [End]

Ever since I was young, I’ve been to the dentist and had cavities filled. (My mouth has always been terrible, whereas my brothers, who never brushed-lol-was great). I brush twice a day, floss nightly, etc, but still really struggle with cavities unless I’m on a 100% whole food diet. My childhood dentist told me that I had terrible teeth due to genetics, in that the enamel was poor and so was the tooth composition. Anyways, I have one root canal and a mouth full of fillings, and I’m 31. So getting my fillings out is not some little thing, but something HUGE. And so is paying for i ...

As a mom of many, my thoughts are that he’s simply entering into a new developmental phase and becoming his own person. He’s learning that he can influence his environment, that he can demand and that he can express emotions when he doesn’t get what he wants. As a newborn/baby, life is pretty simple: wants are simply mom’s milk, naps, and lots of time near people. :) As he grows up and out of babyhood, he’s learning that he *wants* a lot of things, and when he doesn’t get what he wants, he’s learning that he can get mad. So what is happening is PERFECTLY NORMAL. You, as the adu ...

After spending a lot of time researching the best juicer for our family (trying to get the most bang for my buck, as well as a healthy juice and from a machine that was *easy* to clean up afterwards, I chose the Omega (8003, but that’s the same thing as the 8005, it’s just white). So I too recommend reading up on juicing and trying it out. You have a great machine! But if you’re just seriously not interested, try Vegsource.com. They have a swap board for that kind of stuff, and it’s free to post stuff. By the way, I’m very sorry about your mother. :(   [End]

I came to curezone...read and read and read...thought...and then, after talking it over with my husband, went and bought a $300 juicer...and now just bought enough humaworm for my entire family (which is larger than normal)...but reading all of this information about parasites made me realize I can’t in good conscience just buy a bottle for ME. So we may be scrimping for the next couple months, but...I am expecting it to be well worth it. I think my husband got a little nervous when he heard I just spent another $100, but I told him he was welcome to do some of the reading I’d just don ...

Just wondering...? I have a recently aquired (3 months ago) skin condition called folliculitis (itchy painful big zit or small boil like things). It began on my back and has now moved to my head...which is disconcerting, given that it will eventually make me bald (and as a 31 year old woman who likes looking good, that’s a PROBLEM!). :o) I have gone through antibiotics (which I try not to take, in general, but in this case was wanting this problem GONE) and antifungals and neither did ANYTHING. From what I can find online, if the standard drugs don’t work, it’s considered an incura ...

Thanks for the welcome. I’m glad to be here. I spent half of this morning shopping for juicers on the internet...I’m looking forward to getting my purchase (can’t even remember which one I selected now, so many names are running through my head-lol...oh yes, Omega Nutrition Center 8003)... I don’t have everything together yet, though I shopped for some things today (lemons are a murderous 2.00 EACH right now at my grocery store--argh!) for the various cleansing fasts, so I’m just doing an all-raw fast until I can read up a little more and figure out what in the heck I’m doing. :)

Hi there. We got into whole foods almost 5 years ago and it made such an impact on both of us...but through time, and pregnancies and moves and etc, slowly have gone back to a lot of things we’d eliminated. We’re sort of 50/50...sprouted wheat bread with natural peanut butter, yet I’ll order a big old mocha when I run errands in town, you know...? So we’ve gone back and forth from eating whole foods to ”cheating”, and lately the cheating has been more often than not. Well, I’m extremely motivated to go BACK to our whole foods diet, thanks to an awful skin infection that started on my ...
