I think I read that TIME article too, it does sound like the pineapple should work...these things are so resilant, maybe it takes continually wearing them down. I'm starting to add garlic into my regime too. It used to be that garlic or cayenne made them scurry, and I'd get this intense stomach pain...but I think I may be more able to do it now.

It's a very good sign that you don't feel the thing in your stomach...at least the infection isn't that heavy. I think the more there are, the more likely you'll actually feel them...so it's good that you just know it's there, but don't feel it.

I've found the same thing with many anti-parasitics I've tried, they don't even touch them. I'd get a couple here and there, but mostly felt very sick. My approach these days is bowel cleansing..hopefully I'll have more success this way. I certainly feel better while bowel cleansing than not, and I've never felt good on parasite herbs. But, then again...I've got a lot of them. With smaller infections, I think some people do pretty good this way.

Hope the rest of your fast went alright! I'll post how I do on it.

you know I don't know.... I was turned away from the colonic water so I couldn't see it. I consider this not knowing a blessing! :) I never want to see one. The colonic practicioner did say it was about 10 inches. (very yuuuuuk!)

I did decide to get colonics regularly cuz of this.
