Parasites in the US Not say US Doctors, WRONG!
Parasites in the US Not, WRONG!
~
PCOS Lady:
Everyone,
~
Parasites are here in many forms manifesting over time in you, around you, etc… Have you noticed more viruses? Colds usually now have a virus attached with them! Many viruses are immune to antibiotics, the list goes on and on… Some medical conditions have doubled and tripled in a few years time like allergies and sinus infections…. Mentioned on The Doctors TV show recently (4/2012)…
~
“You” have to research your symptoms and find the condition(s) that meets most or all your symptoms… These are major reasons why!
~
FYI: US Doctors are not trained to treat parasites or yeast infections in any great detail… US Doctors are not trained to treat fungal or bacterial infections as well… You have to seek a tropical specialist for those…
~ A retired physician’s assistant who started out in bacterial research made me aware of this…
~
Read my Parasite Protocal post for the steps to take…
~
The owner of the Parasite Testing Lab told me this same thing about the US… His research on 100 US proved 32% had parasites… 100 European proved 20% had parasites…

Please read the segment from Huma Health about American doctors…
Plus read through their site, it’s highly informative…

WHY ARE WE NOT BEING DIAGNOSED?
We live in a modern, clean, sanitary country – talking about parasites is UNHEARD OF. We Americans consider it to be a Third World problem. American doctors are not trained to recognize or treat parasite infections. American doctors who take a Parasitology course (the study of human parasites) are given information and stats from foreign countries, so these doctors perceive parasites as a problem not associated with the United States. In other words, it’s not talked about, not taught to the members of our medical community and is frankly ignored by most everyone.

PCOS Lady
The sad fact is most insurance plans/companies do not cover natural remedies, etc…
– Makes me wonder about why not! OR is it a confirmation on making money off us? Keeping us sick, etc…
~ I asked my DO if my insurance would cover an all natural plan for PCOS… He abruptly said “NO they won’t”…
~
More parasite symptoms are redness on your hands arms to elbows and feet to knees days… You may see white spots in the red as well plus may see just red dots that are deep then go light… Heart burn is another feeling you will experience!

Parasitic Infections Are Dramatically Rising
http://morgellonspgpr.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/parasitic-infections-are-dramatically-rising/
~ Morgellons ~ A Mundane Approach… Parasitic Infections Are Dramatically Rising … February 27, 2013…
~ Why would Americans have parasitic problems? Parasites are in every aspect of our environment including the food, soil and water we drink. They are found in every economic level but more so in poorer communities. There are 150,000 ( FACT: 250,000 “bad” parasites types, 50,000 are yeast types) different kinds of parasites. There are only a few that have standard tests to identify the infestation. The parasites are usually discovered during surgery when the failed organ is opened. The shocked surgeons find on examination, parasites infecting the tissue.
~ Who is most at risk for parasitic infections: All of us! It has been estimated that 90 percent of the North American population has at least one kind of worm in their intestine.

Healthfulness of Sweeteners
–from Most Healthy….
~ Stevia – is a protein that is sweet, doesn’t raise blood sugar, no insulin spike and no AGE
~ Glucose – raises blood sugar, spikes insulin and produces AGE
~ Xylitol – is a sugar alcohol that inhibits dental bacteria, doesn’t raise blood sugar, no insulin spike or AGE
~ Corn Syrup – raises blood sugar, spikes insulin, produces AGE, low sweetness
~ Sucrose – raises blood sugar, spikes insulin and produces AGE, and liver damage
~ Honey – is half fructose and half glucose, raises blood sugar, spikes insulin, produces high AGE and may damage liver
~ Artificial Sweeteners, aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, etc. – don’t raise blood sugar or produce AGE, but may have other risks, including hunger
~ HFCS – is high fructose corn syrup, raises blood sugar and spikes insulin, produces very high AGE and causes liver damage
~ Fructose – doesn’t raise blood sugar or spike insulin, produces very high AGE and causes liver damage
~ Agave Nectar – is fructose, doesn’t raise blood sugar or spike insulin, produces very high AGE and causes liver damage
…to Least Healthy or Health Risk–
~ AGE: advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which contribute to the symptoms of diabetics. http://coolinginflammation.blogspot.com/search/label/AGE
~
Stevia, the new craze!
~
http://www.stevia.com/
~
Stevia is a South American herb used as a natural sweetener for centuries. The leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant have a refreshing taste, zero glycemic index, zero calories and zero carbs. It is 25-30 times sweeter than sugar, and far more healthy!
~
FACT:
Stevia is widely used all over the world. In Japan stevia claims over 40% of the sweetener market…

~
Stevia has many helpful properties.
It has:
~
~ No sugar and no calories.
~ Anti-inflammatory effects.
~ Is 100 percent naturally derived.
~ 250 to 300 times the sweetness of sugar.
~ Heat stability to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
~ No fermentation properties.
~ Flavor-enhancing qualities.
~ Plaque-retardant and Anti-caries properties to help prevent cavities.
~ Been recommended for diabetics because it does not spike insulin.
~ Anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
~ Been shown to lower blood pressure in those with hypertension.
~
Over 100 phytochemicals have been discovered in Stevia, and it is rich in terpenes and flavonoids. Besides having been in use for hundreds of years, extensive testing in animals has demonstrated no harmful effects. Its main sweet chemical, stevioside, has been found to be nontoxic in acute toxicity studies with rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. It also has been shown that it does not cause cellular changes nor affect fertility. The natural stevia leaf also has been found to be nontoxic and has no mutagenic activity.
~
Stevia can be used in cooking and as a tabletop sweetener.

Sugary Drinks Tied to 25,000 U.S. Deaths a Year
http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=168622
~ Medicine Net … By Amy Norton .. HealthDay Reporter .. Tuesday, March 19 (HealthDay News) — More than 180,000 deaths worldwide in 2010 were linked to a high intake of sugar-laden drinks, a new study estimates, including 25,000 deaths in the United States.
~
These latest findings do not prove that sugary drinks kill people. They only show a correlation between high consumption and deaths from heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
~
“Sugary beverage consumption is often paired with other unhealthy food choices or behaviors,” said Sandon, who was not involved in the study. “Chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, are the result of many factors, not just excess sugar intake.”
Parasite Symptoms (extensive)
You are the breeding ground for aliens (bad parasites) inside your body!
~
PCOS Lady’s personal suggestions: Get a parasite test kit from http://www.ParasiteTesting.com first… Know what types you do have, if you have any… Treat to rid them and then do a cleanse every 3 months after or test yearly or so…
– A month after, now list your symptoms and tackle them with your health care provider…
– I am not endorsing their product… I am quoting their symptoms and felt you needed to know what parasites do in you along with what a cleanse will do…
~
PCOS Lady’s experience:
Swollen lymph nodes in your neck are associated with parasites… I have two that swell up at times… One under my left side chin and another on the left at the back of my jaw… One or both will swell to varying sizes or one or neither… This is in conjunction with my left wisdom tooth acting up…
~
Humaworm’s product site has an extensive list on parasite symptoms i had to post for you…
The symptoms overlap other medical conditions…
~
Parasite Testing research doctor asked me if i had experienced a burning around my heart… A few days later i experienced 4 bouts of hard indigestion… Now i feel a burn like when you get a razor cut and the skin touches, that kinda burn…

SYMPTOMS of PARASITES
~
Quoted from:
https://humaworm.com/symptoms.html
~ ~ ~
HOW & WHY PARASITES MAKE US SICK
Before you read over the following list of symptoms, you need to understand how and why parasites make us sick. Parasites are the HIDDEN DISEASE, they can occur ANYWHERE in the body, in EVERY organ, in ALL tissues, and in the blood. Parasites can cause problems that mimic other disorders and are not diagnosed as being parasite related.
~
Not only do they cause harm by taking nutrients away from their host, they also produce toxic waste (from their excrement and death cycles) that affects the human body including the central nervous system.
~
* If you nor your doctor can’t figure out why you’re not feeling 100%, then please continue to read!!
~
The Symptoms of Parasite Infections
~ ~ ~
STOMACH & INTESTINAL COMPLICATIONS – The sheer number of parasites in the lower digestive system and the toxic waste produced by them can cause these problems:
~
~ Diarrhea
~ Chronic Constipation
~ Gas & Bloating
~ Digestive Problems
~ Excessive Early Bowel Movements (very explosive bowel movements very soon after eating)
~ Abdominal Pain
~ Mucus in the Stools
~ Leaky Gut
~ Nausea
~ Hemorrhoids
~ Burning in the Stomach
~ Bloody Stools
~
FATIGUE – The toxic metabolic waste overloads and overworks the organs of elimination and taxes the central nervous system causing:
~
~ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
~ Low Energy
~ Lethargy
~ Excessive Weakness
~
SKIN DISORDERS & ALLERGIES – Parasites that penetrate the skin cause itching. When tissue becomes inflamed from these parasites, the body’s white blood cells increase to defend the body. This reaction causes skin rashes and food allergies to appear. Parasites also create toxins and the skin, being the largest organ, tries to remove these toxins which causes many skin problems.
Symptoms include:
~
~ Dry Skin
~ Dry Hair
~ Brittle Hair
~ Hair Loss
~ Allergies
~ Itchy Nose
~ Itchy Anus
~ Itchy Skin
~ Hives
~ Allergic Reactions to Food
~ Crawling Sensation Under the Skin
~ Rashes
~ Weeping Eczema
~ Cutaneous Ulcers
~ Papular Lesions
~ Swelling
~ Sores
~
MOOD & ANXIETY PROBLEMS – Once again, it’s the toxic metabolic waste produced by the parasites that attack the central nervous system causing:
~
~ Mood Swings
~ Nervousness
~ Depression
~ Forgetfulness
~ Unclear Thinking
~ Restlessness
~ Anxiety
~ Slow Reflexes
~
SLEEP DISTURBANCES – The physical presence of the parasites themselves are a nuisance to the human body. The body reacts to them during periods of rest, this in turn produces:
~ Insomnia
~ Teeth Grinding During Sleep
~ Bed Wetting
~ Drooling While Asleep
~ Disturbed Sleep – Multiple Awakenings
~
WEIGHT & APPETITE PROBLEMS – Parasites live undetected by their hosts. They rob the body of all essential nutrients (they get the choicest nutrition from the food you eat) and you are left with the fats, sugars, etc. Many overweight persons are infested with parasites, they stay hungry which leads to overeating because of the parasites. Depending on the type of parasite infestation, many people are malnourished, they can’t gain weight, again, because of the parasites. This is why parasites cause:
~
~ Weight Gain
~ Long-Standing Obesity
~ Loss of Appetite OR
~ Uncontrollable Hunger Eating More Than Normal BUT Still Feeling Hungry
~ Inability to Gain or Lose Weight
~
MUSCLE & JOINT COMPLAINTS – Parasites can travel to almost all soft tissue including in the joints and muscles where they cause cysts and inflammation that is commonly mistaken as arthritis and muscle pain. The toxins from parasites can also pool in the joints and in muscle tissue causing:
~
~ Muscle Pain
~ Joint Pain
~ Muscle Cramping
~ Numbness of the Hands and/or Feet
~ Heart Pain
~ Pain in The Navel
~ Pain in the Back, Thighs or Shoulders
~ Arthritic Pains
~ Fast Heartbeat
~
BLOOD DISORDERS – The parasites get the good vitamins, including iron, leading to:
~ Hypoglycemia
~ Anemia
~
SEXUAL & REPRODUCTIVE PROBLEMS – With a weakened immune system caused by parasites and their waste you also can experience:
~
~ Male Impotence
~ Erectile Dysfunction
~ PMS
~ Candida – Yeast Infections
~ Urinary Tract Infections
~ Cysts & Fibroids
~ Menstrual Problems
~ Prostate Problems
~ Water Retention
~
OTHER SYMPTOMS – More health problems caused by parasites:
~
~ Excessive Saliva
~ Unclear Vision
~ Bad Breath
~ Poor Immune Response
~ Fever
~ Respiratory Problems
~ Peritonitis
~ Chronic Viral or Bacterial Symptoms
~ Body Odor
~
List is from Humaworm’s site…

~
FYI
~
Tremors, MS, Fibromyalgia, asthma, metabolic conditions, inflammation (have many forms in us) are all masking the true cause! Parasites in us! … Something to think about… Parasites are to blame for many things… ( 9 out of 10 (most symptoms) and 8 out of 10 (IBS cases) result causes are parasites!)
~ A retired doctor (July of 2012 in Walmart) told me about a woman with tremors… He sent her to ParasiteTesting.com years ago… She went and thanked the doctor cause she was cured of all her symptoms!

Symptoms
~
Hypopituitarism is often progressive. Although the signs and symptoms can occur suddenly, usually they tend to develop gradually. They are sometimes vague and subtle and may be overlooked for many months or even years…
~
Signs and symptoms of hypopituitarism vary, depending on which pituitary hormones are deficient.
~
The signs and symptoms may include:
~
~ Fatigue
~ Headaches
~ Low tolerance for stress
~ Muscle weakness
~ Nausea
~ Constipation
~ Weight loss or gain
~ A decline in appetite
~ Abdominal discomfort
~ Sensitivity to cold or difficulty staying warm
~ Visual disturbances
~ Loss of underarm and pubic hair
~ Joint stiffness
~ Hoarseness
~ Facial puffiness
~ Thirst and excess urination
~ Low blood pressure
~ Light headed when standing
~
If you’re a man, you may also have signs and symptoms such as:
~
~ Loss of interest in sexual activity
~ Erectile dysfunction
~ Decrease in facial or body hair
~
If you’re a woman, you may develop:
~
~ Irregular or no menstrual periods
~ Infertility
~ Inability to produce milk for breast-feeding
~
Children may experience:
~
~ Stunted growth
~ Short stature
~ Slowed sexual development
~
When to see a doctor
If you develop signs and symptoms associated with hypopituitarism, see your doctor to determine the cause..
~
Also, if certain signs or symptoms of hypopituitarism develop suddenly — a severe headache or visual disturbances, confusion, or a drop in blood pressure — contact your doctor immediately. Such symptoms could represent sudden bleeding into the pituitary (pituitary apoplexy), which requires prompt medical attention.

Acupuncture May Relieve Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
~
Friday, August 21, 2009 9:56 AM
~
Polycystic ovary syndrome, a common condition among women, can be relieved by the use of acupuncture and exercise. This has been shown by a recent study at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
~
Nearly 10 percent of women of reproductive age have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The syndrome expresses itself as a large number of small immature cysts on the ovaries that cause a disturbance in the production of hormones and an increase in the secretion of the male sex hormone. This means that many women with the condition do not ovulate normally, and the syndrome may lead to infertility. The women run an increased risk of becoming obese, developing type 2 diabetes, or developing cardio-vascular disease.
~
“We do not know for certain what causes the condition, despite it being so common. We have seen that women with the syndrome often have high activity in that part of the nervous system that we cannot consciously control, known as the “sympathetic nervous system”. We believe that this may be an important underlying factor in the syndrome”, says Elisabet Stener Victorin, who has led the research at the Sahlgrenska Academy.
~
During the study, one group of women with polycystic ovary syndrome received acupuncture regularly for four months. They received a type of acupuncture known as “electro acupuncture”, in which the needles are stimulated with a weak low frequency electric current, similar to that developed during muscular work. A second group of women were provided with heart rate monitors and instructed to exercise at least three times a week. A control group was informed about the importance of exercise and a healthy diet, but was given no other specific instructions.
~
The study showed that activity in the sympathetic nervous system was lower in the women who received acupuncture and in those who took regular exercise than it was in the control group. The acupuncture treatment brought further benefits.
~
“Those who received acupuncture found that their menstruation became more normal. We could also see that their levels of testosterone became significantly lower, and this is an important observation, since elevated testosterone levels are closely connected with the increased activity in the sympathetic nervous system of women”, says Elisabet Stener Victorin.

Misdiagnosed and Sites…
WAR HORSE... BE AWARE... SYMPTOMS COUNT! THE RIGHT DIAGNOSIS WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE!
PCOS is a highly misdiagnosed syndrome… Most doctors interpret PCOS in their own way… Hardly ever the right way!
~
Felt i should post these sites i found for a friend of mine….
~
Searched info on malpractice for a friend of mine… Found interesting information on it…
~
Scenario:
Man had passed out, was disoriented when the ambulance got to him… The hospital MD and psychiatrist deemed it a mental problem…
~
Truth was his Depakote level was 3 points over the legal limit for the body!
~
Another problem, that hospital took him off all drugs which put him in to severe withdrawl !!!!!
~
– The 1st hospital never checked the drug levels in his system…
– He had minor to medium type stroke symptoms a few days later… The next hospital straightened him out…
– He was not Diabetic, but had a Hypothyroid and has lost 60 lbs in a few months after… Plus, now has the heart of a 20 yr old, per his heart surgeon!
~
MD:
His MD diagnosed him as a Diabetic, injecting 100 units of insulin nightly for a year… No blood tests were ever taken for diabetes…
Fact: If not a Diabetic or given to much insulin your body will make you eat more even through the night to keep up with the insulin! A symptom not listed…

Common Misdiagnoses and Hashimoto’s encephalitis
~
Cluster of diseases with difficult diagnosis issues:
~
There is a well-known list of medical conditions that are all somewhat difficult to diagnose, and all can present in a variety of different severities. Diseases in this group include multiple sclerosis, lupus, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism), chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes – all of these can have vague symptoms in their early presentations. Also, depression can have some symptoms similar to these conditions, and also the reverse, that many of these conditions can mimic depression and be misdiagnosed as depression.
~
It’s malpractice if you ask:
~
“Was this diagnosis given after a thorough medical exam for underlying physical problems that could look like a mental one”
~

~

~
My point:
You have to keep a record of symptoms, drugs, etc… Have someone available that knows you quite well to back you up! Look up things online, in forums and groups, etc… KEEP notes on what doctors say, do, etc… It all pays for you in the end!
~
Advocate:
Even think about a medical advocate to speak for you and handle some medical things for you… I feel you need one if the doctor does not listen to you, etc…
– I witnessed my 65 yr old friend being ignored by his MD…
– 50+ yr olds may need to consider an advocate if they are being ignored or are kinda shy speaking up…

YOU:
~ YOU know your body…
~ YOU are in control of your body!
