No sorry necessary - totally appreciate your thoughtful input! Yes, that's how I felt w/zapper - like I was chasing them around. For sure I'll get a wider sweeping one and get back to zapping. After a delay. Need to focus on some cleansing first - I've been in denial in this regard. Digestion not in working order - bad time to be killing anything. I think Mattk3's mention of SIBO was right on track.
Good point re: the brain not feeling pain & brain fluids. Your cadmium comment is interesting. Think I'll get a heavy metal test ($200 online!!) Not that I'd be any better off, but it would be a relief to find parasites not primary issue. I've been so sure they're eating my noodle. The brain stuff is frightening. Not that any of it is a picnic....
