need help and advice

I have had several problems over the past few months that have not gone away. My main concern is the irritation I have been experiencing with dryness/burning/and overall discomfort around my anal cavity. My doctor prescribed a cream that I used for four weeks with no success, she said I just had inflammation of the rectum/possibly some minor fissures that should go away. Now I am wondering if this problem could be internal. I am getting very frustrated and am trying desperatley to rid my self of this problem once and for all. Ptree suggestted the following possibilties-

1)PH balance- there is a possiblity I have an acid problem inside me. Since this problem began when I was on a high protein/meat diet, I am considering this very seriously. What is the best way to take care of an acid poblem?

2)parasites- I researched them and began a cleansing cycle with some pills I bought at ta health food store, I have been taking them for almost two weeks and nothing has happened. The bottle says to take four pills a day, and cycle down as the weeks go by. I have been taking all four at once, is this best? I also take them at night before I go to bed, on an empty stomach.

I also have some probiotics that I have been taking durring the day, I recently stopped taking them while I was on the cleansing pills, is this a good idea? I figured it would be best to focus on ridding the body of parasites, then worry about replacing organisms when I'm done flushing, does any one have a comment on this? Also, the woman at the health food store said to lay off the garlc and cayenne pepper if I think I have an acid inbalance, she said it will only worsen things. I thought garlic and cayenne were good supplements, but I am getting conflicting advice on this, what's up? I have recently incorporated a superfood type supplement inot my diet and was wondering if that was ok while I am cleansing? What other foods should I be eating? Is it ok to continue on a regular five meals a dayor should I be laying off fodd while cleansing? So many questions and so little answers, please help!! I want this irritation to stop now! Tweet
