Soothing the - Itchy Skin Parasites

How To Get your Life Back From Morgellons and Other Skin Parasites
During a time of strong parasitic activity, I performed a microscopic
stool analysis on my feces within ten minutes of elimination (I used
to have a dog kennel and am accustomed to doing stool analysis for
round and hook worms). I found the larvae in my stool.
Unfortunately my doctors refused to look at the slide, but instead
gave me vials for collection over a three day period. The Lab-Core
analysis came back negative.
I then insisted on the antibody test which is done with a blood
sample--discussed later in this chapter--and it came back positive.
My family doctor was confused by the presence of the nematode.
She thought that at the level I had them that I'd have had lots of
lower digestive track problems including loose bowels. She did
prescribe a dewormer (thiabendazole) for me (which I avoided
taking until I was finished with my nicotine research). My other
doctor—the Lyme specialist--just passed it off as possibly a false
positive. Eventually I did take the thiabendazole in three doses over
a period of six weeks and noticed no substantial improvement
without the diet. More details in Chapter IX. In retrospect I believe
that the thiabendazole did get rid of the strongyloides and my
returning symptoms when I went off the diet were the collembola
that were still in my system. Nevertheless, with regard to stool
analysis, here's the irony. Veterinarians test animal stools routinely
for parasites such as round and hook worms and as I noted above, I
routinely checked our dogs for worms. But, never doth a doctor
suggest a stool check for humans. I wonder why? Don't they think
the nasty little critters can get into our bodies? I should have thought
to analyze my own stool years ago, but then I really didn’t know for
what I was looking (the microscopy is shown later in this chapter).
The better way to test for it is the antibody blood test --
Strongyloides Igg—which is the better route to go since you’re not
going to get a stool analysis in less than a few hours/days. Parasitic

30084 is a lab that performs it for about $75 (six years ago pricing)
phone number is 770-496-1370. They require approximately ½-1ml
blood serum (a small tube) to run the tests. It must be put on ice and
sent overnight. You can also ask to see if your HMO lab can have it
