Armed with my new knowledge of parasites I get myself some supplies to start fighting them. I start by changing my diet back to about 70% raw fruits and veggies with the remainder being made up of cooked potatoes, rice, chicken and fish. Eliminate drinks to just water and black tea and up water intake immensely. Up my DE dose to 2 tablespoons per day, one when waking and one before bed and begin taking 2-4 tablespoons of Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar mixed into plain water. Purchased an herb set I felt would target all parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungi. Here's what I got and how I took it:

NOW Foods Fresh Green Black-Walnut Wormwood Complex(has Clove)- 2 dropper full 2x per day

Quantum Health Immune Support Liquid Extract (Elderberry, Echinacea, Goldenseal)- 2 dropper full 2x per day

Natural Factors Organic Oil of Oregano (minimum 80% Carvacrol, 24mg)- 4 drops directly on tongue 1x per day

So I start the regimen and after the very first dose of the herbs start to have a nasty die-off/herx response which ends up lasting fairly intensely for about a week. I continue to cleanse and start feeling better again, at this point I am also seeing lots of parasites passing in my stool and a lot of what I'm assuming is Candida. I continue on this regimen for about 3 months, taking the needed breaks from herbs as required, and eventually like always feel good so lose willpower and stop taking everything and let my diet relapse.

This leads us to our current situation and what is bringing me on to post for the first time ever. Things have taken a turn for the worst and it's time to get real serious for me.

Alright so finally up to speed to current day. Only thing I forgot to mention is that I have had what has felt like a chronic sinus infection for the past 4 years, that has survived 3 different Antibiotics and only ever seems to clear up when I am trying to be healthy. Anyway just a week and a half ago I got hit with my first cold/sickness of the whole winter, it was your typical run of the mill cold.

So now cold has cleared up and yet my lungs remain feeling full and heavy and my sinuses are the worst they have ever been. Very stuffed-completely clogged all the time, very irritated and painful with pressure and actually getting sores that won't heal or go away inside.

Then 2 nights ago, I go to blow my nose and blow out a very thick yellow mucous blob with what I thought looked like the tip of a little white worm sticking out of it. Upon attempting to pick it apart I managed to squish it up and couldn't be sure that it was indeed a worm, but I had my suspicions and it was enough to make me immediately start back up a parasite cleanse.

So I went to Natural Grocers and got my same 3 herbs I used the first time and immediately took the normal dosage of all that night, except for I took a double dose of the Wormwood blend. Within 1 hour I was feeling heavy herx response and had a horrible night of sleep.

Woke up the next morning with a very sore throat and sinuses, however the sinuses were not as plugged feeling as usual. I continued on with the herbs at normal dosage, again except for the Wormwood . I took that at 3 dropper full 3x throughout the day. I also started back up the DE and ACV @ 2 tablespoons each.

All throughout the day I felt like hell and blew out many nasty mucous blobs that resembled worms, but never could pick one apart well enough to say for sure. Slept like hell again that night, which brings us to yesterday morning.

Wake up with my throat and sinuses feeling even worse then the last day. Take my morning round of goodies and within an hour get a bad nosebleed. After that stops I decide to give my sinuses some help and do a sinus rinse with just a splash of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 2x packets of the salt solution. I can't even begin to explain how bad of a painful response this created. Almost passed out from the pain.

Afterwards I put a big glob of organic unrefined coconut oil up each nostril and let it melt down into my sinuses to help soothe them. Within 30 minutes I'm getting all sorts of nasty stuff coming out of my sinuses and being coughed up. A lot of the blobs are now bloody and some quite larger then expected. Sadly I did not attempt to pick any of these apart.

Anyway day goes on like this and then before I'm getting ready to go to bed I feel like I have a stuck booger in my nose that I can't blow out, so I sanitize my hands and pick it out, gross I know. Anyway pick it apart and I have my first intact 100% recognizable worm, pulled from my nose. Have it preserved in alcohol now and have some pics to post up.
