dr gave me prednisone with flagyl thinking he was treating me for a protozoa viral infection this was after 1.5 years of no improvement with just flagyl. i did test positive in a blood test for strongyles from my gp after vet friend diagnosed me. he wanted to verify my vet friend. i fired my skin dr and disease specialists dr as they told me i had no parasites and i would have to learn how to live with virus.i have been treting myself with advice from curezone and vet 95 percent cured. in june 2014 i thought i was dying that was 1 month after prednisone and before i knew what i had. i am a plumber and have had hookworm twice and this was 100 times worse.back in the 90's i was given thiabendazole for that but has been taken off the market due to awful side effects.cholrine pool water is the only thing that helped with my rash but i didnt know why until i found out chlorine kills worms and works like an antihistanmine. so do you have any advice on treating 4th stage strongyloidiasis with a death rate of 70 percent i am all ears , because drs dont.
