ALBENDAZOLE & IVERMECTIN PROTOCOL: Strongyloides, Morgellons, & Filariasis
Hi Jodie ~~
Ref: Albendazole & Ivermectin Protocol: Strongyloides, Morgellons, & Filariasis http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1586882#i.
Yes, I'm parasite free & still take a weekly maintenance dose of ivermectin to keep any remaining encysted parasites sterile & prevent reinfection.
The protocol recommends Ivermectin be taken for 5 or more weeks or until infection is cured. Since each person's case varies in severity of infection, you can stop it earlier or take it longer, as needed.
"Ivermectin (Stromectol): 1 dose*, based on .2mg/kg, 1 hr before bedtime, on empty stomach, with 8oz water or beverage. Take dose for 4 days on, 3 days off. Repeat dosage every week (even during off-days of Albendazole) for 5 or more weeks, as needed, to cure infection.
Alternate Dosage Schedule: For severe hyperinfection cases, follow this schedule instead of the above: Take dose for 7 days on, 2 days off, 2 days on. Continue the "pulse method" of 2 days off, 2 days on, etc, even during off-days of Albendazole, until infection is cured."
I'm not allowed to update/edit the protocol, but I've posted several tips & answered numerous questions over the years. Offhand, I recall these:
For those unable to take Bactrim, I'd recommend Cephalexin/Keflex as a fantastic antibiotic instead.
Good luck & keep us posted on your husband's progress!
