I'm about to take my first dose of albenzol. Just read through the original post by ICU. ICU, thanks so much for thorough information. I'll read through the rest of the thread although I think I have already. I giggled when you wrote "So be sure to take tranquilizers or blood pressure meds before your office visit so you don't go BESERK when you're told you're CRAZY!?#. " because the first time (and maybe last time ) I went to an infectious disease specialist, he said "you know you have OCD right?" ... I brought my underwear with a tape segment in it, and he said "that's just a piece of dust". AND he was not aware that you can get tapeworm by injesting an infected flea, which is what most likely happened to me because there was a flea infestation in my house (from outside animals or animals in walls, ducts, etc) ... ... he said that's not the way you get tapeworm. Well, topdoc, what school did you go to that didn't tell you that you CAN get the same tapeworms cats/dogs do if you injest an infected flea. Easy to do with bad infestations, during sleep, for example.
Honestly I didn't realize OCD was a parasite (kidding!!)

Pinworms (Enterobius vermicularis) infect only the lower colon & don't disseminate or migrate to other areas of the body. Treatment is covered in the Mebendazole (Vermox) Protocol: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1564827#i. This drug is no longer available in the US but can be ordered from overseas pharmas.
Based on your symptoms of itchy rectum, scalp, & nose, your infection is likely caused by other roundworm species or tapeworms that have disseminated/migrated outside the GI tract.
Suggest you do a couple of cycles of the Albendazole Protocol for systemic roundworms: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1566532#i. Recommend the Valbazen suspension. Its manufacturing process & formulation provide better uptake & bioavailability than the tablets.
Post treatment, if you still have symptoms, suggest the Niclosamide, Praziquantel, & Albendazole Protocol for systemic tapeworms: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1602094#i. If you later decide on this protocol, let me know & I'll send you info on ordering the meds.

For itchy body, recommend daily hot bath soaks with Borax, epson salts, dead sea salts, hydrogen peroxide, or apple cider vinegar added, as well as bathing with salt gel scrubs, exfoliating soaps, & sulfur soaps.
Ivermectin horse paste mixed with diaper rash cream (w/40% zinc oxide) draws out encysted parasites, eggs, & larva from sores, lesions, & rashes & heals skin & soft tissue. The horse paste can be found on EBay or local/online animal supply & feed stores.
Sulfur ointments are also effective as drawing agents & healing the skin. Check EBay, drugstores, & Walmart for these brands: Sulfur8 2% Medicated Ointment & DeLaCruz 10% Sulfur Ointment.
Highly recommend boosting your immune system with these vitamins & supplements: http://curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2161663#i.
Good luck in your battle! Keep the forum posted on your progress. Other forum members will gladly share their experiences & offer suggestions.
Cheers - ICU

An indication of whether a parasite infection has caused your pneumonia is based on the eosonophil count in your white blood cells (WBC).
Check the readings for WBC & RBC readouts on your most recent bloodwork tests.
The relationship of eosonophils & parasite infections is covered here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil.
Details of Loffler's Syndrome: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1002606-overview#a0104
The brown roundworm you recently passed may be an Ascaris lumbricoides (common roundworm) or one of the other roundworm species which can cause Loffler's Syndrome in its life cycle stage in the lungs.
For your roundworm infection, suggest one 2-week cycle of the Albendazole Protocol: http://curezone.info/forums/fm.asp?i=1566532#i. If symptoms persist post treatment, suggest another meds cycle.
Recommend the Valbazen suspension vs the Albendazole tablets. Its manufacturing process & formulation provide a more consistent uptake rate & bioavailability.
Hope this info is helpful for you in your parasite battle. Keep the forum posted on your progress. Good luck!
Cheers - ICU

Albendazole Drug Treatment Protocol: http://www.curezone.info/forums/fm.asp?i=1566532#i
Reference the protocol instructions:
"*Instead of tablets, you can take Valbazen (Albendazole) Oral Suspension for Cattle & Sheep. It contains 11.36% or 113.6mg/ml of Albendazole. Use an oral syringe to measure 3.5ml, which equals a 400mg tablet. Mix into beverage or soft food to mask the blah taste. May add sugar or other sweetener."
As noted in the protocol, Valbazen 3.5ml = Albendazole Tablet 400mg.
The 3.5ml dosage isn't based on weight; it's based on equivalency to tablet.
Suggest you print a copy of the protocol to cover any other questions you may have.
Cheers ~ ICU
