Oh my god. I guess I do have parasites :(

I'm asking about it on the Curezone forum but they were... well, they were proper worms. They were obvious, fairly large worms (the biggest were about 2/3rds of the size of an earthworm, much paler and tougher skinned and REALLY REALLY obvious.)

Man, I was freaked I can tell you. I kept trying to convince myself they weren't worms but, like I say I didn't even look that closely for them, I just glanced and there they were.

I guess they really are common. We all think we don't have them but guys they come out DEAD. That means you have to kill them and look for them to see them. I'm not sure if it was the oregano, pomegranate, iodine or what that killed them, but when my Iosol runs out in about 2 days, I'll be on Humaworm.

Actually I guess it could have also been the pineapple and fibre. I ate 2 pineapples in 2 days along with everything else, and lots of psyllium husks and oats. I heard intestinal parasites HATE pineapple, so I gorged on it!!!

Now I think about it that's actually a pretty likely candidate o.O

I know it all sounda crazy, like I say I didn't want to believe it either. I'll see what they say on Curezone.

Hoppi please take pics in the future if you can. What other supplements have you been taking to eliminate worms?

I know I should have taken pictures - I did consider it as ofc I wanted to get an opinion and identification of the worms on Curezone, but I was just too freaked out! I flushed them all fairly fast, I understand what someone on Curezone said when she said she couldn't really bring herself to take pics!

I don't know what they're responsible for and what they're not, I don't know if they caused my malabsorption, hair loss or anything else, but hell I've got to kill them now haven't I!!!

I really haven't been taking THAT much for parasites yet. Just pomegranate, oregano, iodine, pineapple, fibre (psyllium and oats mainly), garlic and chanca piedra. I really think it was the pineapple that dealt the killing blow for those guys though. I'm going to eat more while I wait to finish my iodine dosing!

Oh, I also use coconut oil as my very regular moisturizer. I'm pretty confident it is going in the body at a good dose, even though I never swallow it (I got a cold a few weeks back off my gf and was practically asymptomatic, and I believe it was the coconut but I may be wrong)

What?! Are you serious? There was actually dead worms coming out of your body?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I have no idea what it means, in terms of when I might have caught them or what they might have caused. But they're there. I'll get rid of them anyway including any liver flukes, etc (something looked like a fluke too but I might be wrong). I kinda hope this and not bacteria caused my digestive drop, as it's easier to get rid of, but... I dunno...

Will be good to get started on the Humaworm though - it can kill bacteria too anyway!

some quotes....

The centers for Disease
control (CDC) estimates
that the average
American is carrying
around 2 lbs of Parasites
within their body.

People around the world are infested with parasites including many from countries previously thought to be reasonably free of parasites including the United States. Other medical studies find that the average male carries up to 2 lbs of parasites inside of his body.

Thanks JDP

I think there's a fair chance the oregano might be making a dent too as I have been taking a LOT of it. I'm kinda scared now to actually use the loo as I seem to have them on the back foot and I'm properly scared of what might come out!!! >.<

At the very least this should improve my digestion!!!!

Right time for another 300mg of oregano (god knows how much I've taken today!) and then Monday I'll crack open the nice, fresh, armageddon-initiating Humaworm!! It's been nice knowing you little bugs............

Most parasites are not a concern -- really.

In fact, in some third world countries there is virtually no incidence of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Why? It's the parasites, they are not all bad, and may serve as clean-up crew. Sort of a friendly symbiosis.

Would it be correct to say that there's a very important line where certain parasites, though doing their own role and managing aspects of toxicity or burden, would never have had a need to be there in the first place had it not been for contributing factors (metals, absence of good flora, etc)?

I ask more or less to get a more worded opinion, your above post seemed very simplified, if you don't mind or just a link would do.

I dunno man I think I'm better off without these worms!!

And I reeeaaaally think people should relax witg trying to find reasons why parasites and things are their fault. They're incredibly common - at a friend's their little new puppy had worms! You think the puppy had heavy metal build up? lol

Sometimes, you just eat some bad meat or go in a bad restaurant, and that's it. Salmonella, tapeworms, whatever.

Toxic heavy metals I believe are toxic to parasites as well.

The only thing in our society that encourages this stuff are too much sugar, and too little of things that would flush them out without even planning it, such as using more herbs on our foods, more fibre, certain fruits and probably veggies, etc.

The western diet and lifestyle isn't great, but I really think worms and parasites and bacteria are just one of those things, unless you live in a sterile bubble! lol

Also I think it may well be parasites causing all my recent day-to-day bloating and discomfort. I don't know about the egg and fat intolerance... although it would provide an explanation for the malabsorption! >.<

honestly, hoppi you have every new week some kind of severe problem.. infection in your liver, demodex on your scalp, heavya metal etc.. I think you read and think too much.
It wouldn´t surprise me if you have not seen worms but some kind of legume.
But ok maybe it were worms- then I would take real medics wich are shown to kill those worms instead of oregano or other useless stuff.
If it were worms the medics will kill them and you´ll shit them out.

Well, I'll find out in time I guess. For the record I've never tried to tackle heavy metals and I didn't even know what demodex was until you just mentioned it. I just research a lot, and I know my hair loss coincided with / followed a digestive health plummet.

And I don't like meds - I'd much rather use natural treatments like they all do on Curezone. They're very comprehensive, and also aid in detox.

Hoppipolla,

That sounds like really good news to me. Can you comment on how you are feeling health wise compared to before?

I use oregano every-time I feel that I have a cold or flu coming up, and it stops it each time. I never once thought of using it daily, seems like a great idea! Its expensive though, 20.99$ for an ounce bottle from where I get it.

Hoppi - How's your digestion? Low stomach acid usually equals more parasites (the not so good ones).

To be honest now I've calmed down I can't say for certain that's what they were, as I've had things like beans and sprouts in my diet so who knows, and also I've spent so long on Curezone so I guess I was on the look-out! The real answer will come after perhaps a week on Humaworm I think!
