Great article! Thanks! I still have no idea what to do next, so back to research mode. Hmph.

Great article. Thank you for sharing. I started treating with artimicinin, and omg I am so incredibly itchy. I have bumps all over my arms and hands. I presume I am herxing, and will, at least for the time continue treating with this stuff.

Is there testing for specific parasites? I'm sure we all have them (I've been using artecin by xymogen for about 3 weeks now, and I have little bumps all over my hands and arms and back that itch like crazy. I highly suspect everyone else in my family has parasites, too. DH won't even consider tx unless he has labwork proving it, and I'm honestly hesitant to try anything for my kids until I know a little more. Plus, it would kind of be nice to know if I am getting all of them out of me (I'm presuming I have them because of the reaction I'm getting...it's not hives...more like little bug bites that have popped open, because of such intense scratching.

It is my understanding that everyone has parasites but with a compromised immune system the population of them can explode and then they become a problem. It seems in something I read that they can get so pervasive as to control what you do/say/react. Sounds like the body snatchers! Lol.

 

PS. Just remembered dr. mentioned parasites can even be in dust.

After thyroid and hormonal problems were rules out, my LLMD felt my hair loss was related to parasites, which she feels are common with Lyme, due to a weakened immune system.

 

The most economical treatment is Ivermectin horse paste, which cost me $3. MD can also write a prescription for Ivermectin. I was instructed to take an adult dose of 1/4" of paste, every day for 3 days, and to repeat this for 3 weeks. I was also instructed to buy a tube to spread on my scalp, and let it soak for 15 minutes. Shortly after this treatment I had lots of new hair growth around the edges. I had no side effects with this treatment.

Wow...I'll look into this. Is it necessary to get a script?
