Need suggestion - D.Fragillis infection remedy
Hello All,My ASD daughter is 3.5 years old. She is really doing better now. But the problem is she got D.fragillis infection. Her pediatrician has provided her an antibiotics for 10 days. But our homeopath told us not to give that and prescribed Cina 30C for 5 days two times daily. I have already given it to her for the last 2 days. My daughter becomes very aggressive after 15 minutes of taking Cina 30C. Is this common symptom. Will this remedy eliminate this infection? Thanks again for your great suggestion.

Hi-
It exists along with pinworms.
The only way to know is to get tested again.
D. FRAGILIS
Is Dientamoeba fragilis a pathogen of concern?
Many doctors today still know little about D. Fragilis and dismiss its existence, but according to the report below it should be included as part of a diagnosis for IBS. Dientamoeba Fragilis was discovered in 1918 as one of the smaller organisms that is a non-flagellate trichomonad parasite existing in the larger intestines. This parasite doesnt have a cyst stage whereas most other parasites do but it causes intestinal inflammation. It is believed that D. fragilis is a co-infective with pinworms; travelers are at higher risks with these infections. However, a person can be asymptomatic without exhibiting any symptoms even though they are infectious and they dont have to be a traveler to become infected.
Source: Clinical Microbiology Reviews
The overwhelming circumstantial evidence, however, strongly suggests that D. fragilis is a bona fide pathogen. This is based primarily on the observation that there are a large number of case reports from many parts of the world that describe patients whose clinical symptoms subsided only after therapeutic intervention and elimination of the organism. However,it cannot be denied that there are patients who harbor this organism but do not exhibit clinical signs. AND There are great gaps in our present state of knowledge concerning the virulence, pathogenicity, and mode of transmission of D. fragilis. However, neglecting to include D. fragilis on the list of potential culprits in unexplained cases of chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, flatulence, and anorexia, and even in patients with irritable bowel syndrome-like syndromes, no longer be justified.
Herbal Protocol to Help
Alternative treatments for D. fragilis are hard to find in a convenient formula. Herbal suggestions include berberine antibacterials like Goldenseal; Garlic; Quassia; Gentian; Artemesia Annua; Black Walnut; and Arginine. Other suggestions included daily Colloidal Silver solution [better to make daily fresh batches]; 30 billion CFUs daily of Saccharomyces Boulardii as well as Bifidus with food; and Grapeseed extract. If you were to try a combination of the suggestions, it could be to your advantage to add pure Olive Leaf extract and Oregano Oil as additional antimicrobials.

Also read a blog by a person who
had this due to drinking old stored water
at a campsite.
They went to the naturopath first and
tried many of the herbs that kill parasites
and it did not work. They had to have a specific antibiotic.
----------------It seems the reason these parasites are not well diagnosed is mostly due to the way in which the stool sample is preserved. The parasites easily die off in air, and so a special fixative is required to preserve three stool (poo/faeces) samples. This is the reason that people may carry the parasite undiagnosed for years, and are often provided with a diagnosis of IBS.
In the end I called my naturopath and after a discussion on symptoms and risks, I asked for a last resort antibiotic prescription. It is important to take particular antibiotics as some types work better than others in treating parasites. I took a high dosage of two types of antibiotics for ten days, and I felt quite awful, particularly for the first few days.
Fingers crossed I am all clear but I wont know for sure until I have another series of stool tests later this month. You will be happy to know my bowel movements are getting closer to normal, but as I have damaged my gut flora it may take some time to settle into a proper healthy rhythm.

Thanks Simone. I do have that article but my question is will be eliminated with Cina 30C? I don't want to give antibiotics unless and until it is really necessary or as a last resort. Please let me know.

The only way to know if Cina eliminates
this is to have the stool checked again
after a couple weeks. No one can
be sure that it will take care of it.
