Parasites and hydration

I with suffer with food intolerances, headaches, increased weight, bad memory, low concentration, itchy skin, weak bladder. My hydration measured is 38% when it should be and used to be 50%+. I can know longer weight train as this has seriously affected my muscle recovery which has caused me to change my career. I recently went to a nutritionist who did allergy testing on me this came back with parasites. I took black walnut and special formula for 4-6 weeks and I managed to lose three kgs and raise hydration to 42%. My body doesn't seem to be responding anymore. If anybody has any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Intestinal, antibiotics once 4yrs ago for tonselitis, other than that took them quite a bit quite a bit as a child. I feel tired if i don't get 9 or more hours sleep if I do I wake feeling good, normally up twice for the loo. Vaccinations had hep b, tetanus, polio, rubella the norm. Feel cold most the time. Tidy person when have the energy. Love chocolate which is main downfall. Eat good diet as advised by previous naturopaths and nutritionists. Lots of chicken, veg, fruit, seeds, nuts, water. Thanks.

Lots of nasties here . Vaccinations are bad - so are antibiotics - both drive problems off the surface deep into the body .
We need [I think]
Thuja 30 for step one .
Then Hepar Sul 1M for step 2
Then Silica 3x for step three

Take a thuja 30 on three following nights then nothing else and let us know after one week .

Hi There...antibiotics can set up a nice favourable enviro for things like parasites but don't assume that is it. It depends on the parasite you have but probably you will need to look beyond homeopathy to get rid of it although homeopathy will come in handy to get your other symptoms under control.
I've been tackling a D.fragilis recently (and maybe still am) and I never took antibiotics. You need to be well aware of the kind of impact a parasite has on you the host. First, it alters the gut setting up favourable conditions for other pathogens like yeasts and bacteria, then the subsequent leaky gut causes malabsorbtion, immune havoc (eg intollerances), liver problems, depression etc etc. I am not too surprised at you loss of muscle tone. I have the same problem. Some of it comes down to a lack of L-Glutamine absorbtion and also excess cortisol. I have a lot of info on this whole area, but getting rid of parasites is the first step. Drop a reply if you want to know more.

Any advise would be much appreciated, this is so frustrating. How do I find out what type of parasites i have. Is it worth asking my doctor to do a spool test?

you may not need to know which parasites you might have. try the remedies passkey suggested and see if you get better....:)

You do need to know what parasite it is!!! The approach for just things like tape worms is a whole lot easier than for a Blastocystis or Dientamoeba Fragilis infection. With these two, all the herbal, homeopathic and Hulda Clark magic tinctures in the world will not get it out. How do I know...I've been there. My homeopath is awesome and she won't attempt a parasite infection, however she believes that emotional states attract pathogens so homeopathy is very usefull to deal with other issues that allow the pathogen to be there.

GreatSmokies in North Carolina do a CDSA test and this will give you solid info as to parasites, yeasts, bacteria and state of the gut chemically which can allow a good doctor to point towards unidentified specimens. (Histolab in Sydney and ARL in Melbourne also do these tests if you are in Australia) You need the 3 Fixed Specimens!!! I cannot stress enough that the normal pathology stool test is near useless in this regard. The CDSA is not cheap but really, you need that information to make a proper start. Often people who are misinformed will chase candida for years when it is actually a parasite. Get the right info and then have a look at badbugs website if you need to. This will help you to avoid lousy doctors and see the potential pitfalls of trying to treat parasites with the medical profession.

this is interesting - what is a CDSA test??
 
erika last decade
I'm based in the UK, I will look into this CDSA test definately. I have just ordered what was recommended by passkey, hope this helps me, but not sure about doses, and for how long, I am new to homeopathy, my background is more in sports nutrition. Any good books on parasites too would be really helpful.
Thanks
Emma

A CDSA is a comprehensive diagnostic stool analysis. It looks at the chemical balance / function of the digestive tract and presence of pathogens. Many parasites are only picked up by a 3 sample test immediately preserved as often many organisms die very quickly. do a search for cdsa and great smokies and you'll get info there.

Hey Emma,
I know someone who can tell me all about UK parasite testing services she also has the best site on the internet for this. I lived in London/Manchester a while and miss it forced back to Sydney to get well again. Best would be if you go to my profile and get my email and contact me off list as I can email you a load of resources to help you out.

I found out today that I am free of my parasite which is nice as removing it was no fun.
I've not had a lot of experience with sport nutrition but I am currently testing one of the best colostrum products in the world made down in Adelaide.

My first experience with homeopathy was not so hot as she did not know me properly as a person and the remedies did zip. My current homeopath is brilliant and I really noticed the difference with the first remedy taken slowly over the past 6 weeks. She put me on a different one yesterday so I am interested to follow this along and learn more on the way.
....Leo.
