I am just writing to let you know that if you ever go to Jetti Katz Lab and consult John Ahser, who does not accept insurance, to get treatment, do not waste your time. He does of course believe Blastocystis is pathogenic; but he still thinks it is a "nuisance," which suggests that he does not quite understand the danger and chronic diseases that the parasite can cause. I spent close $2000 for nothing.

Also, he prescribed Metronidazole for 21 days (750mg 3 times a day); I told him that I told him that I took it before, but he insisted that if I take it for 21 days, it would "definitely kill the parasite." Well it did not.

So clearly this doctor who supposedly has treated this disease for 40 years does not understand the parasite or its morphology, and what the damage it can cause. SO please do not waste your time consulting him or anyone who thinks that Metronidazole will work. I also took the australian triple therapy and it also did not work. I have given up, since I seem to be getting sicker by the day.

Perhaps doctors should do some research; as opposed to sitting offices.

Also, when I mentioned one of the symptoms like severe joint pain, he did not know about. I said that his own website says that parasites causes joint pain, and he said that he does not know that. So he does not know what is on his own website.
