Some more thoughts on how protozoa might be defending themselves

So I finished my second round of medications (haven't done Paromomycin yet though...) and I think I still have, say, 5-10% of symptoms left. The pain in the finger is almost gone, but not 100%. The strange pain on the top of my head returned once or twice ever so slightly. Liver feels perfectly fine, as does my gallbladder. No headaches either, and I started eating starches, fruits and such. A couple of days ago I ate two small watermellons which before would be a guarantee of mouth ulcers and headaches, but this time nothing. I am almost forgetting how bad it used to be.

However, I am not too happy that I still have some "leftover" symptoms. Here are a few possible explanations I came up with:

1. Maybe the leftover pains are just "healing" pains? In other words, maybe there is nothing left there, except body is now cleaning up toxins and whatnot from those areas...?

2. Maybe there are still a few parasites hiding here and there. This seems more likely to me. And here's how I would explain their survival: since protozoa mostly multiply by binary fission, that means that they probably stay together in "clumps" or groups. Now, if they are anything like schools of fish in the ocean, then medications attacking them would be similar to sharks feeding on those fish - the outer layers of fish get eaten first. Maybe protozoa have similar mode of group survival mechanism where those in the outer layers sacrifice themselves so that the inner core is preserved. This would explain why my symptoms got much better after medication but didn't dissappear 100%. This would also explain why so many had "unsuccessfull" therapies a few times before finally becoming symptom free. Maybe those previous therapies were not that unsuccessfull after all? Maybe they did their part, and the last one just cleared up the leftovers?

Protozoa may be just like onions - hiding in layers. When all else fails (stealth proteins, DNA, you name it), just physically clumping together may still go a long way towards protecting them from medication, who knows? Maybe they do that first to give themselves time to enter the cyst stage, after which they are pretty safe regardless of medication taken...?

This would also explain why both times I noticed the most improvement in the first 5 days or so, and not much after that.

Maybe the proper protocol is then to do one week of medications, wait about a month, then do it again, then wait another month, and so on until one feels to be completely clear? And THEN do Paromomycin?
