Sigh...thanks for the info. I appreciate it. With not having the positive test, I am afraid to take another round of ICU protocol, because of the hearing loss. 2 weeks and it's not coming back, only getting worse..I'm thinking the damage to my hearing (which was good before starting the protocol, just felt crawling sensations in my ears all the time) anyway thinking the damage is permanent, and maybe too much of either Albendazole or Ivermectin sat in my system and made me end up overdose due to the constipation. My sight has also taken a hit, as well, almost overnight there is a HUGE difference. So, I'm stuck as to what to do. I have read someplace that disseminated infections make the ELISA blood test essentially worthless. Not sure if that's true or not, do you know?? (ELISA for strongyloides).
