Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hey, I've got the blasto, endolimax nana trophs, and entamoeba trophs and cysts. (Both tests.) Third test was a DNA one from Metemetrix and tested positive for parasites. YES, my diet is SUPER strict, very limited. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever eat again (or even feel like it). Negative on the Crohn's. And Lupus. Back in March I was tested for 's and Cushings (and another one--11deoxycortisol malfunction) and my pituitary and adrenals actually tested quite strongly when stimulated--very brisk response. So no clinical 's/Cushings. But I tell ya, there is SOMETHING in my system that is leaching my adrenals and taxing my immune system every moment of the day. I know the hormones will never get straightened out unless I deal with all underlying infections first. (Found that out the hard way last year when I tried to raise my thyroid dose and couldn't--horrible!) I do have very high IgE levels which MAY very well be due to parasites/yeast overgrowth. I'm waiting on results for Lyme's/coinfections. There is that possibility too, as I'm getting acute cystitis symptoms (maybe interstitial cystitis--very common with Lyme's). At this point, I'm not even nervous if I do test positive--just tell me what's wrong with me so we can start treatment and I can get better! , yes I agree, there is that possibility that I don't have the parasites. But I have to rely on the most evidence I've been given from the labs and the symptoms that correspond. So I'm praying that if I don't have them, that somehow God would stop the treatment. Cause as you well know, this treatment is no cake walk. I'm just going ahead in faith. Warm Regards, Steph I hope it works for you too, Steph. It does sound like you've really been strict with diet. As it is, your diet should not be feeding parasites anyway. Which parasite do they say you have?Have they considered other autoimmune testing (Crohn's, 's)? ~s> > >> >> > Nitazoxinide, Tetracycline, Septra DS.
