Hello, Did you ever find a cure. I’ve been trying to treat whole family for 6 years. Many attempts. Many meds. It’s hard with two children to keep their diet modified as well. Please let me know if you have found anything that works. Best, Nora   [End]

I am going through similar process with myself and kids. I’ve taken meds for very long time but cannot cure myself. My son denies itching for a few months now. I did a week of albenza (2x/day)with ivermectin(empty stomach, once/day) for him at the same time. I did that a few times with a week off in between. Then, when he complained of itching the last time I did ivermectin for a week.. I just try different things for myself and I wear tight pants, use a different toilet, shower am and pm and clean frequently so that I can keep my kids safe from these as much as I can. He also bathes ...

Just like the sentence before that says: I would go at them hard and persistently with these meds (valbazen and ivermectin)from the beginning. My post is suggesting that one use the meds at ax safest dose(that’s what I meant by go at them hard) and persistently with only a few days between rounds (that would be the persistent part).   [End]

Will try these techniques, thanks for posting. I am wondering what strength permethrin you have? I am looking at some online and want to get the right one. I’m now currently eating about 8 oz coconut a day along with 2 tbsp coconut oil in warm water and 1tsp cayenne pepper powder 5-6 times day. I’m really not eating much else. Hoping they don’t like my diet along with the meds I’m continuing and eventually die off with nothing but coconut to eat. Taking probiotics and vitamins, and gulp of kefir after cayenne/oil drink to soothe the fire. Life is good..   [End]

Hi cimber, Thanks for your advice. How often do you do the enemas? Also, I have two kids that I treat bi-weekly. One is a baby and I don’t see anything on his bum but I treat him. Do you treat your step-daughter?   [End]

Yes, cleaning daily. I blew out a dyson and purchased another and use it daily along with washing sheets daily, everything in hot water... Shower morning and night, steaming all hard wood, not siting on toilet anymore to pea, clean toilet thoroughly after pooping. Always wear tight pants under clothes, African black soap for bathing.. Etc, etc. I feel like I’ve never had an itch free day and I haven’t gotten rid of them. I’ve had them twice before in my life and didn’t do anything near this amount of cleaning and I’ve gotten rid of them in a couple weeks. However, the intense cleaning ...

Hello ICU, Not sure if you are available to answer me but I thought I would try. I have done months of many cycles of the albendazole and ivermectin protocol and then a couple cycles of the tapeworm protocol and be I’m back to ivermectin and albendazole. I am still having nasal, eye, ear and rectal itching and I’m seeing white threads on my rectum and my sons as well. My husband is also having symptoms and has been taking the protocol with me.

Cimber, I’m currently fighting pinworms I believe. I’ve taken several rounds of icu’s pinworm protocol and did a round of the tapeworm protocol with no relief. I’m feeling nasal and eye itching and was reading that u took the moxidectin. Is that med a dial up (per pound) dose like ivermectin? I see the cartridges on eBay and they look similar to the ivermectin. I would like to take some and see if it helps..   [End]

First off, you are not alone. Sorry the Dr.s haven’t been helpful. In my experience they often aren’t. If you really feel like it’s those same symptoms as before and you possibly have some worm get a hold of some meds online and take them to see if it helps. User ICU has protocols on here that may help you with dosing and types of meds. Hope you feel better soon.   [End]

I’m sorry I don’t have answers to many of your questions but I can say that I’ve tried many fleet enemas right out of the box and they always cause a lot of cramping for me and I can only hold them for a few minutes. However, I recently used hot water enema with apple cider vinegar in it and I was able to put double the amount I usually use and hold it for a really long time. Im guessing the warm water made the difference. our bodies are not room temperature, they are on average 98. 6 so probably something closer to that temp will be less harsh. Same with using an enema with salt. The ...

Then, 2 days on and two off of ivermectin for eight more days.. I’m going to try this when my mebendazole arrives in mail. Please let me know what works for your daughter.

Hi ICU, I have been on and off valbazen and ivermectin protocols for a few months. I noticed that for the past couple of months my lips start to peel and itch for a couple of days. It seems like it comes on every 2-3 weeks and lasts a couple of days then gets better. The last time my nostrils were itchy and the skin was peeling on my nostrils at the same time this lip thing happened. Again, only 2 days or so and now is heeling. I was wondering if you have any thoughts.. Do you think this is from the meds or from parasites? Thx so much!   [End]

O.k, sounds like a plan. To be honest, I really didn’t feel itch free throughout the cycling of the albendazole and ivermectin. It did subside though and then just get worse at the end of second cycle. One question though, can I continue valbazen while doing this more frequent Ivermectin? Thanks so much, this forum is a lifesaver and it feels like my only hope for a chance of getting rid of these bast**ds.   [End]

Hello, If you are referring to dr Cahill in NYC I was just referred to him today. I haven’t gone to his office yet but I plan to.

The colonic won’t really cure the infection and according to her the dr can prescribe a medication that I need to remedy this. I will keep you posted if I go!   [End]
