First, I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to the creators of and contributors to this site. I don't know what would have happened to me if all this valuable first hand info wasn't here. I've never got any help from all the MDs I've seen.
I've been fighting a bad case of sarcoptic mites (scabies) It got really bad because I didn't know what it was for about 6 months (I went to dermatologists who either admitted they didn't know, or gave me topical
Antibiotics , or told me I was crazy and that I was creating the lesions myself-I know, unbelievable) Anyway, I figured out that it was scabies more by luck, and finding descriptions in posts here. I wish I could say whose posts I read, but a lot said that if you have one kind of parasite, it's very likely you have other types as well.
So to make a nasty long story short, after a lot of trial and error, I've been treating the scabies with sulphur soap lathered up with a little DE, give a scrub,leave lather on at least 10 minutes, rinse, and after drying, followed up by a complete coating everywhere with coconut oil into which I put citronella oil (10 drops citronella per 100ml coconut oil)(I was using lemongrass oil to begin but thought it was too strong and bothering my eyes)
Scabies does seem to need cutting up (DE) poisoning (sulphur soap) and smothering (coconut oil)all together to make any headway with it. At least the kind I have, which is the bigger species of mites that are visible to the eye and are everywhere, even had them on my face, ears, in hair. Might be called "bird mites" not sure. (Oh yes, I wash the old coconut oil off with a lavender soap before applying the sulphur soap. Real lavender oil soap, not just perfumed.)(And 5 days on sulphur soap, then two days off using a neem soap for the two days instead. Sulphur is drying the heck out of my skin,it needs a rest PLUS neem disrupts the reproductive cycle of the scabies, ATTACK! ATTACK! sterilize those little vermin!!!!!
I've still got some lesions, but so far it's much better. The thing is, my eye (mostly right) started get painful/blurry/ "wobbly", I thought it was down to the lemongrass oil in the coconut oil(which I read somewhere AFTER I started using it, you're not supposed to use lemongrass oil if predisposed to glaucoma) or maybe I was just physically drained from fighting
parasites or so I thought.
Anyway, as well as the sore eye, wobbly vision, I was getting a bloody nose, (right side) pain behind my eye,and WRIGGLING...Docs had no clue, then about two weeks after rubbing citronella/coconut oil on me for scabies (AM & PM) I suddenly got four weird "scratches" that appeared overnight under my left forearm.
THANK GOODNESS FOR Curezone, because I remembered I had read somewhere on here that dermal lines like that are a sign of another type of
parasite so I came back and looked, and sure enough found, not only was it likely strongyloides, but that they were also probably causing my eye/sinus problem...eureka
BUT I am a little worried, IS IT SAFE TO PUT PLAIN COCONUT OIL(I have an organic one) IN YOUR EYES to treat strongyloides? What will they do? They won't come bursting out my eye like something from an Aliens movie, right???
I'm going to get a
parasite cleanse (probably Humaworm) does anyone know if that, and the coconut oil, will be enough to fight the strongyloides? (of course I would only put PLAIN coconut oil in my eyes, the citronella mix I'll continue to use on the scabies. (I chose the citronella because a lot of people use it to repel mosquitoes and I figured it might repel the scabies mites. Although they're not really insects, they're genetically related to spiders, ew yuck)
On top of this, I think I also have some tapes, I can feel something biting and moving. It really is a lot to deal with, but I am so grateful every day for curezone and all you helpful people out there. May you find peace and comfort and an end to your struggle.
Pardon this post for being so long!
PS I traveled in Mexico, Bahamas, South America, Africa & probably picked up the
parasites somewhere along the way
