How do you eliminate parasites?

The following is a re-statement from a prior post about how various methods actually kill helminths.

>- You have shown the effect of a zapper on a single cell organism like a bacteria or a protozoa,

Are you aware of how most anti-helminthics work? By killing their intestinal flora. That's right, they kill the microbes in their intestines.


Wolbachia are bacteria that live in the cells of various invertebrate species to which they cause a wide range of effects on physiology and reproduction.

Wolbachia are strictly intracellular bacteria infecting a number of invertebrates including mite, crustacean, filarial nematode, ...

The recognition of the contribution of endosymbiotic bacteria to filarial disease could be exploited for clinical intervention by the targeting of bacteria with Antibiotics in an attempt to reduce the development of filarial pathology.

Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria that infect the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus were previously found to have an essential role in the pathogenesis of river blindness.

What I submit here is the reason that the zapper sometimes works to kill intestinal parasites is by killing their symbiotic bacteria. Why sometimes? Not all zappers are the same.

First, the zapper needs to be sufficiently strong enough to reach and kill the microbes.

Second, the zapper signal must be through a path that reaches the microbes. This requires a 4 point contact system, 3 points positive.

Third, the frequency must be right, because, while any frequency will kill some microbes, the right frequency will reach more of the specific microbes that may be in question. If a zapper is not exact on for a particular frequency, then it needs to have multiple frequencies around the target frequency.

Interestingly, In researching the relationship between Ascaris ( used only as an example ) and frequency, frequencies close to 2500 Hz is close to the frequencies for both adult and larvae, BUT, not exact. For this reason, 2500 Hz alone is not going to produce the needed harmonics. This is one reason why the past results have been hit or miss, with one person having good results and another not having any success at all. This is due to the inaccuracies of the zapper that is built around the 555 timer.

Again, this is corrected with the use of more accurate microprocessor frequency generation and with multiple frequencies.

It is important that each frequency be applied for a minimum time period. If it is applied for less than the minimum, the microbes may not be completely destroyed.
