Sometimes worms (or damage/cysts caused by worms which they could biopsy) will show up in a colonoscopy and they will find them, but remember that in a colonoscopy they’re really only examining a very small section of your overall gastrointestinal tract. Heck the type of worm I am infested with mainly lives in your fatty tissue and isn’t even believed to lay eggs in humans so most tests involving the GI tract aren’t even useful for detecting it!

No idea as I have no plans to try it, and have done absolutely no research on that. However, I’d hazard a guess that if it is indeed toxic then it is more toxic to a small worm than it is to a large human, and the worm dies from the toxicity long before you would. There are some very rare nasty worms/parasites which can’t be killed at all easily by the main medicines (e.g. racoon roundworm or trypanosomes) and the only available treatment is an arsenic-based substance! This works on the same principle of killing a small worm/parasite quicker than killing you!   [End]

Rather than re-infecting you with adult tapeworms in your intestine this scenario would cause more larval cysts (cysticercosis) around your body.

I believe she recommends Nilcosamide at first is so you pass any tapeworm whole and so know when the scolex leaves your body (praziquantel causes it to dissolve so you would not know), and also because Praziquantel first could initially cause seizures if you were suffering from neurocysticercosis.   [End]

Albendazole + Praziquantel probably covers the widest spectrum of the most common infections. Ivermectin and Albendazole mostly overlap on what they are effective for. Ivermectin is only really needed for nasty Strongyloides cases and Filariasis (but does not completely ...

Those doses sound about right for you. How much prazi have you tried in total Hanover how many days? My doc said, and medical journals also generally state, that Prazi is generally tolerated quite well after the stuff gets absorbed, with the thing that makes you vomit mainly being the lingering taste (I can personally attest to this after vomiting once on it). So, as I said try drinking more water and some food with it. I found the 3 consecutive days of Prazi dosing on the ICU protocol quite hard going, but just pushed myself to take it and kept telling myself that 3 days isn’t so long. ...

Let me know if you have any luck with drugstore4save, or find any other supplier for niclosamide. I never could get the drugstore4save site to accept my credit card, and my UK-based credit card company cancelled and reissued my card for security reasons after trying to use them. No idea if they are legit or not. You could try just a big praziquantel dose instead. I don’t think the niclosamide is totally necessary for tapeworms and I think may be just used for beef tapeworm so that you can see the scolex being expelled in your stool and so know when it is treated (praziquantel vaporizes ...

In what form are you taking the praziquantel? Is it the proper 600mg tablets or is this some powder or something that you are taking? Praziquantel is vile tasting stuff (bitter and whiffs like dung), so if you try and chew it (or take it in powder form) you’ll want to vomit. Make sure to swallow tablets whole and wash down with as much water as you can drink. Take a small amount of food after that to make sure it is down and to take that vile vomit-inducing taste from your mouth. Once it is down past your stomach I found praziquantel OK. I also found a good strategy was to take in bi ...

Triclabendazole is good for fasciola but ineffective against schistosoma.   [End]

5cm sounds a little large for schistosoma, though possible. The largest females are of the schistosoma japonicum type and usually are up to 3cm in length. If you saw a ventral suckèr on them then it’s a trematode (fluke) of some sort (e.g. could also be a giant liver fluke Fascioloides magna, Clonorchis, Opisthorchis etc.). Unless it’s a fasciola type, then Praziquantel is still the stuff to prioritise taking. Unlike other flukes, Schistosomes live in the veins around the intestine, and not in the intestine itself so normally would expect to see their eggs in stool and not worm itself. ...

It is an interesting theory that the life cycle could complete within the human body. I have read some research that the miricidia can infect and reproduce inside certain protozoa. Perhaps also a mutation that does not require an intermediate host at all.   [End]

I guess only you can know your own body and how it reacts to various drugs or handles parasite die-off (e.g. After Albendazole I would get a pulse in areas that previously had dull pain and then had fever and general grogginess, followed by a cool soothing sensation in area concerned), so I’m not going to comment any more here as each individual person’s infection/infestation scenario is different. One aspect of concern though: I know you are as desperate as most of us are here who know how horrendous most doctors are at reliably diagnosing parasite infestations, and while you are indee ...

Well the dosages for Metronidazole and Tinidazole won’t be the same, but I was on Metro 400mg x3 for 10 days (all fine), and then two or three weeks later the same 400mg x 3 x 10 again (though I think I upped it to x4 for a couple in the latter dose), stopped when I had to call an ambulance. I tolerated it quite well at first. The problem I believe is that the nerve damage it causes has a cumulative effect, so if you have not given your body enough time to repair the nerve damage from a previous dosage (months), then these hideous side-effects kick-in once the insulation on the nerves i ...

I had a VERY similar reaction to what you are describing when I had taken very large doses of Metronidazole. Metronidazole and Tinidazole (Tindamax) are the same family of drugs with the same mechanism and nervous system side-effects. I would describe the sensation as being that I couldn’t trust my body to breathe on its own and felt that I had to manually control it. I was also getting many skipped heart beats. Other symptoms were hand tremoring, as well as a seizure (followed by some of the most horrid hallucinations that I never thought were possible) and then multiple convulsions. I ...

Isn’t albendazole actually meant to be MORE effective against giardia than metronidazole? ...much more pleasant drug with less side-effects too (I’ve tried both drugs). I’d recommend to stay well clear of metronidazole if possible as it’s a nasty nasty drug. I ended up in hospital after suffering from the nervous side effects of metronidazole such as seizures and convulsions after trying a big dose. Took months for the nerves in my hands to stop tremoring and return to normal.   [End]

Question: where did you buy your Niclosamide and Praziquantel?   [End]

I would ask about parasites anyway as he’ll request a stool sample then (while having in the back of his mind that you are mentally ill -- best not to mention anything at all that may make him concern mental health). The problem is not requesting a stool test itself, rather that most GPs assume it to the be-all-and-end-all concerning parasites, and do not realise how unreliable stool tests are. From my experience doctors don’t just give out CT/MRI due to radiation exposure (CT) and cost. More likely ultrasound first. Regarding ascites, it’s not easily diagnosed and only common in ver ...

You are being treated better than most by your doctor. Be thankful that your doctor has had the sense to refer you to an infectious diseases specialist -- many will not let you go that far. I know as it has taken me months of arguing to get a referral. Still on a waiting list though...   [End]

Your GP will tell you that parasites don’t exist and that you have mental health issues. It is unlikely they will offer you such a scan, other than ultrasound (which will only show large swellings well). They’ll probably just ask for a stool sample (unreliable but may detect tapeworm) and a general blood test (unreliable for parasites, with the only symptom might be slight anaemia or maybe on rare occasions some eosinophilia). You really need to see an infectious diseases specialist (I am still on a waiting list -- after months of arguing to get them to take me seriously that is). I ...

My eosinophils only spiked 5x during a time that I believe I was suffering from systematic larval migration and coincided with hot/cold fever chills. Even then they were only towards the upper end of the acceptable range. The rest of the time they were negligable.   [End]

Just a note to say that I had to change the URL in the post above to unitedpharmacies-uk.md as they seem to have just changed their address. Also, for those of you in the UK, remember that (unlike in the US) you can get Mebendazole from your pharmacy without prescription, and is as effective as Albendazole for most things (though you may need a big dose and individual pharmacies will only let you have a small amount at once).   [End]

I got my Albendazole from http://www.unitedpharmacies-uk.md/ . They are based in Hong Kong and ship from Singapore, and I have used them for several years for other things. They have Ivermectin (Stromectol) too, but it is only the 3mg and is so expensive that you are better getting the horse paste from a veterinary supplier. I found easier to get some Ivermectin horse paste (Bimectin) online from the Republic of Ireland as no questions asked (unlike buying in the UK).   [End]
