My 3 yr old son has a parasite called Blastocystis Hominis. We''ve

treated

it with Flagyl as well have tried other things and to no avail. Our

third

Great Smokies test shows it is still there.

Has anyone had this and successfully eradicated it? If so, how?

Lori

**********

My son recently had it. I have been using Dr. s

parasite treatment. www..net

Don't know if it worked, but seems so. I haven't done retest. but the

parasite may not be the main problem.

It is sybiotic with Candida, and most have to treat Candida to get rid

of the parasite. We did the Candida diet

along with the parasite treatment. Avoid sweets, refined

carbohydrates, grains, milk products, hydrogenated fats, fruit and fruit

juices, etc. Eat fish, chicken, vegetables, vege juice, Granny

apples, see her site.

I don't know how this matches your son's diet but it may be necessary.

We are using rice milk. Don't really know how good that is. We seem

to be doing ok with it. I read that Flagyl isn't very effective

against Blastocystis, which just goes dormant until Flagyl is gone,

then comes out again when conditions are right.

Hi Elvira

Sam has (had?) BH too (CDSA from GSDL). We used Flagyll for 10 days and saw

some improvements in receptive language and eye contact, we have maintained

these gains. However, I can't see that a ten day course of AB's kills

parasites with a life cycle of 3 months.

Another e friend (child of 3 yrs) used Black Walnut Oil 15 drops three times

daily for 2 months and followed that with I think another couple of months on

Wormwood oil. Each one hits the BH at differnet stages of development. I was

about to go this route and have the stuff in the cupboard, BEFORE trying

chelation. Decided that I'd already wasted 2 years since I found out about it

and went for the chelation instead.

The CDSA after the Flagyll (4 months after) said 'some BH' rather than the

'many BH' we had before we did the antibiotics.

My son had this. we treated it with Paragon. There is an adult and child

version. If your child does not swallow pills even the child version is

gross. We did 15 days on 5 days off and 15 on again and it worked. You can

get it at the Health Food store. My DAN recommended it.

My son had this, and his doctor treated it with Dioxychlor, (American

Biologicals)a homeopathic bleach, and high dose vitamin C. You need to consult

with a doctor before using this to get the right dosage for your child's body

weight. This is serious medicine-you need the vitamin C because it can oxidize

good cells as well as bad ones if you give too high a dose, or don't use enough

anti-oxidants with it. It worked great though:)

Hi,

We have had my son's stool test (complete digestive analysis).

In the bacteriology, parasitology, mycology section everything was fine,

except that 3+ level of blastocystis hominis was found.

I looked and found loads of info on it, even in relation to autism, but

still wondering if any of you had this problem and treated successfully with

anything else than mainstream meds such as flagyl.

Or if you have any info that is not too hard to pass to me...

Thanks,

Elvira

We used Artemesia for 3 months following Flagyll to wipe this one out. My

son had had lots of it for at least a couple years before this time.

Please let me know what prescription you are using. Also how long

has it been since your last dose of the prescription drug? Some say

to wait a few weeks to test the stool again to see if the

Blastocystis grew back or if it truly gone.

Did you notice the stimming go down during or after treatment?

I have not decided what I am going to use yet.

Thanks,

Beth

Hi Beth,

I only know what I have read and they say that treatment for this parasite is

controversial, meaning some think it has some value while others think it is

problematic. Probably not helpful, sorry.

Has anyone successfully eradicated Blastocystis hominis (a protozoal

parasite)by MMS as evidenced by a pre and post stool test?

If so, would you please share:

A. How you did it? (dose, how long)

B. Did you see any neurological (cognitive/emotional/behavioral)

improvements after eradicating it?

Thank you very much for sharing!

We have been trying to get rid of it in my child with autism for years,

and I think it is a big part of my son's underlying issues.

Considering MMS for this....

Isn't paramomycin called Humatin as the brnad name? My son was on

that years ago, like art age 3, and it was very very good for him

behaviorally and in firming up the bm's. At that time he was on it

for a differnt parasite called Dientamoeba fragilis.

Please will you report to us whether it worked or not in eradicating

your son's blastocystis hominis?

Thank you,

Beth

I have read all that, but the tide is turning in favor of treating it

now, even look at Pubmed and more conservative sites and you will see

there is good evidence now to treat it. It can deplete sIGA,create a

hostile environment that attracts other pahtogens, create leaky gut,

and get this: eat beneficial bacteria. Now I know where all my

probiotics are going - to feed this beast. I think it may cause

neurological issues in our kids, but hat is just my pet theory.

Time for them to move out. But i need a SWAT team, because the local

police aren't cuttin' it.

Hi

We did, we used origano oil P73, although I'm not sure that they may

be back now! (12 months later mind) I put the drops in the middle

of his oils so he couldnt taste them (half a spoon fish oil then p73

and then another half spoon fish oil) We also did a few bowel

clearouts and kept him more than regular!

I think it took about 2-3 months, second count came back as all gone!

We were also using yeast aid at the time but I dont think this

really did much to kill them!

Hope this helps, may be we were just lucky!

> We have him on paromomycin I forget the brand name. He last took a

dose last Thursday. We plan to retest 2morrow with a followup 2 weeks

after that. We did notice a bit less stimming for sure but he also has

bacteria issues we are treating with naturals. Garlic, oregano and uva

ursi. I have a feeling the sulpher in the garlic does not agree with

him %100... lol.. But we will have a better picture in 2 weeks when he

is done with the bacteria program ( hopefully )

If he still shows bacteria, try OLE. So far, I have not met a strain

of bacteria that could survive OLE.

Did you know that Blastocystis eats the friendly bacteria that you were

putting in? Which is why the levels may have been so low. Some say do

not give probiotics until after you have treated adn retested for

Blastocyctis to make sure it is gone.

Hi Jane,

Interesting. We tried OOO for 5 months and nope it did not take care

of it. How long after discontinuing the OOO did you repreat your

stool test? Some say wait a month.

Beth,

Did you notice any behavioral improvements with the OoO? What kind of OoO did

you use?
