I am even beginning to forget things

look at the way i spelled NAILS.. lol

No the chemicals in cigarettes will decrease your immunity and in turn increase parasites. Your goal is to eat healthy and drink lots of water. I often set a tiner to remind myself to drink another glass. If you opt for nicotine only use organic liquid vapor and use topically. Never internally. Starve your parasites!!!

I believe that it is not so much the tobacco as it is the nicotine in the tobacco that kills the worms. I think vape juice would be more tolerable. But American Spirits would probably do the trick too. I would suggest the organic blend (orange pack) as it is the strongest

An interesting info on Nicotine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_poisoning


Nicotine poisoning describes the symptoms of the toxic effects of consuming nicotine, which can potentially be deadly. Historically, most cases of nicotine poisoning have been the result of use of nicotine as an insecticide.

Sixty milligrams of nicotine (the amount in about 30-40 cigarettes [1]), has the potential to kill an adult who is not a smoker[2] if all of the nicotine were absorbed. This figure is ~120 mg in chronic cigarette smokers, smoking an average of 20 non-light cigarettes delivering ~1.7 mg of nicotine each daily. One cigarette's-worth of nicotine is enough to make a toddler severely ill. In some cases children have become poisoned by topical medicinal creams which contain nicotine.


People who harvest or cultivate tobacco may experience Green Tobacco Sickness (GTS), a type of nicotine poisoning caused by dermal exposure to wet tobacco leaves.[3]

Case report

Acute nicotine poisoning associated with a traditional remedy for eczema


Abstract

We present a case of severe acute nicotine poisoning in an 8 year old boy with moderate eczema after topical application of a traditional remedy from a book published in Bangladesh. Symptoms consistent with nicotine poisoning developed within 30 minutes of application of the remedy. The child subsequently improved with supportive care and was discharged after five days with no neurological sequelae. Diagnosis of nicotine poisoning was not initially made due to difficulty in obtaining an accurate history via an interpreter from the parents who did not speak English. Samples taken 12 hours after application of the remedy showed a serum nicotine of 89 μg/l, serum cotinine of 1430 μg/l, urine nicotine of 1120 μg/l, and a urine cotinine of 6960 μg/l confirming acute nicotine poisoning.

This is the first report of nicotine poisoning secondary to dermal absorption from a traditional remedy. Nicotine is a highly toxic substance in overdose and is rapidly absorbed from the skin. We recommend that parents are educated about the potential toxicity of seemingly innocuous substances used in traditional remedies, and that extra care needs to be taken when taking a history through an interpreter. Health care professionals should be aware of the symptoms and signs of nicotine poisoning and that rapid absorption of the drug is possible through the skin. Treatment of nicotine poisoning is essentially supportive but atropine can specifically treat muscarinic symptoms such as bradycardia, salivation, and wheezing.
Case history

KR is a healthy 8 year old boy with moderate eczema. On the day of admission, he had been complaining of a mild headache but was otherwise well. In the evening his mother made up a medicinal paste for eczema, which was applied topically to his affected eczematous areas. He suffered from mild to moderate eczema affecting the flexures of the upper limbs and extensors of the lower limbs but his skin was essentially intact. Around 30 minutes later, he began to feel dizzy and went for a hot bath to wash the paste off. He then complained of laboured breathing, dizziness, unsteadiness, and nausea. Shortly afterwards he vomited and then became unrouseable and an ambulance was called. In the ambulance he initially regained consciousness but, after a further episode of vomiting and a period of agitation, he again became unresponsive.

On assessment in the Accident and Emergency Department, he was noted to be sweaty, vomiting, and agitated with a fluctuating level of consciousness and dilated pupils. Temperature and blood pressure were normal. His pulse rate on admission was 45 beats per minute, which increased following treatment with a single dose of atropine 20 μg/kg intravenously. Cardiac monitor trace subsequently remained normal. Due to his agitation he was electively intubated for a CT scan, which was normal. Full blood count, renal profile, liver function tests, and arterial blood gases were normal. As the diagnosis was unclear, he was initially treated as a case of acute meningo-encephalitis with ceftriaxone, vancomicin, erythromycin, and acyclovir. Information gathered from the child's parents by a professional interpreter indicated the paste was made from betel nuts. He was transferred to intensive care where he had a stable course. He self-extubated on day 2 and had a lumbar puncture which showed no cells. He was transferred to the ward and was slightly ataxic for two days before discharge.

On further discussion with a Bengali speaking doctor (AP), the paste was found to have been made from a ground mixture of tobacco leaves, lime, and freeze dried coffee mixed with water (figs 1,2 2).

I have an idea. Why not try chewing tobacco? Since it is something actually used, perhaps casual ingestion of the 'juice' might help? I don't mean don't 'spit', but if a little bit got mixed in the saliva you chew, couldn't this count as 'eating tobacco'? I don't know. Just a thought. Well, just googling, I found these:


It's an old remedy used for dogs:

Frankly, while I don't recommend starting a tobacco habit, I am in agreement with you that having a Tapeworm is not a preferred state compared to other things (like taking a pinch perhaps). I personally have Ascaris and it is HORRIBLE. Right now, though, in the past week and a half I have had the BEST results (after a year of cleansing using everything, from A to Z LITERALLY, including Humaworm, Barefoot's Dewormer, DE, ACV, Enemas, Liver Flushing, many different herbal paracides (ex. GAIA Parashield), garlic, drastic dietary changes, I could go on and on, but I won't here) with PUMPKIN SEED OIL.

I found the 'recipe' on curezone (THANK YOU CUREZONE! You don't know how much relief I have gotten.) I think (not sure) it was posted by 'jessiesmom'some time ago. It says a teaspoon of pumpkinseed oil and again 1 teaspoon 12 hours later, then 2-3 hours after that, castor oil. I wanted to hit hard so I take 5 capsules of (Now Brand) Pumpkinseed oil; 12 hours later the same; 2 to 3 hours later, a tablespoon of castor oil.

The day after my first dosage, I actually had a bm with a ton of while worms (looked like those mung beans!). It was so disturbing, but after a year of cleansing religiously it was the first time I actually saw that the infection was as bad as I felt it to be. Before, I had die-off such as rashes, headaches, etc. but very little proof in the toilet, maybe one or two or three dead, brown, jelly-like worms (Yes they were worms, not mucous.)

I did keep up with a bit of Kroeger's Wormwood Combination for a week as I had a bit left and didn't want to let it go to waste, but that is ALL I added and most days using the pumpkin seed oil I had significant release of worms (some casings really large) up to 10 to 12" in length by my visual estimation. Still, I have abdominal pain (from the worms biting.)some days NOT (This had been CONSTANT before the pumpkin seed oil), but now not so much.

Now 8 days later (more or less) I am constipated and the abdominal biting is much reduced. I feel that the dying worms have clogged me up and I bought a new supply of Triphala. I will take a couple shortly. At the very least the pumpkinseed oil is offering relief if not a total cure. I will now take a break from the castor oil. Bottle says not to take for more than a week so I will do more research and I guess substitute the Triphala to try to ensure bowels are moving. Then I will add castor oil again in a week. I may take a break from the pumpkinseed oil for this next week and do the Kroeger's for a bit. I'm trying to mix it up but keeping at it. This time I feel I have made greater progress with the pumpkin seed oil than ever before with any other remedy (other than the pumpkin seed oil, Kroeger's has always been the MOST effective for me compared to others.)


I had tried eating pumpkin seeds (A LOT) in the past, even as recently as two weeks ago, but I cannot stomach them any longer and I NEVER saw any results with them. EVER! The same with garlic. Nothing. Yet others have amazing success with garlic! (Oddly, when over a year ago when I realized something was wrong with my digestive system, the first thing that came to mind, really, out of the blue was "Maybe I should add some garlic to my diet." Huh! I did, to no avail, but that's just me. So, you can see that EVERYONE is different in dealing with these horrible infections.

The amount of time, money and energy- physical, emotional and mental that I have invested in this problem I am sure is (enormous) similar to others posting here (and those not), but I am not giving up. Who knows, I may try a pinch of Copenhagen (or the organic American Spirit?) chewing tobacco. It would be worth it to at least try for me personally. These treatments are things individuals have to discover and decide to try themselves. Interestingly enough, the least expensive alternatives seem to work the best! Go figure. Kroegers costs $12. Pumpkin seed oil costs $14. Oh, one other thing. I found Triphala to be an immense help in keeping me 'regular' during this lengthy cleansing process.

Good Luck Whatever you Choose to Try!
