Re: Chelate first or attack parasites first?

I understand completely.  Sometimes you just need to get it out, so feel free; I've been there.

Ack, I wouldn't eat Starbucks pastries while deworming, or generally.  Not going to help you at all..in fact, it will/does harm you.  If you don't want a regular meal, drinking olive oil works well.

I think staying completely parasite-free is next to impossible:  they're in everything..the air, the water, the food, in dirt/dust, on surfaces, etc.  I'll likely take parasite drugs prophylactically for the rest of my life.

2g of albendazole per day?  That seems quite high.  I took 800mg (400mg BID), and most treatment protocols I'm familiar with are similar.

I understand your feelings about how expensive all of this is.  Before I picked up my parasite infection, I'd never been sick in my life, other than the sniffles once every 5 years. But you're right:  it's a matter of 'pay me now' or 'pay me later' ...

In case you decide to check him out, I saw Dr. Arechiga in Tijuana and liked him and his clinic quite a lot.

Keep us updated!
