WARNING - Faulty information being passed around

As some of you know, I've been fighting parasites, especially strongyloides, for a long time. In desperation, I joined a certain user's mailing list for awhile, and the information I got recently is not only FALSE, but is DANGEROUS.

The way I became hyperinfected with strongyloides was because I have lupus, and one of the main treatments for lupus is steroids - Prednisone, to be exact. After I started taking the steroids for lupus, I started having this horribly painful itch on my arm, which eventually spread to my other arm, and got so bad at one point that I had to carry extra-strength lidocaine cream around with me everywhere and put icepacks on my arms to stop the itch so I could go to sleep. Soon after that, I started using coconut oil on my arms at night, and the itch subsided. Then I torn my rotator cuff and again, they gave me Prednisone. That's when I got really sick. IBS so bad I was screaming in pain, my whole body felt like it was on fire, and something was crawling around in my eye and on my head, among other symptoms. I started looking up "worms in eyes" and found Curezone and started out taking Humaworm and for the first time in YEARS I felt somewhat normal.

After reading many, many PubMed studies, even subscribing for a year once (very expensive, btw) so I could read more, I discovered that I probably had strongyloides and the steroids were probably responsible for my symptoms, causing me to be hyperinfected. The one thing that stood out in all the reports was the you NEVER EVER TAKE STEROIDS with strongyloides and that if you do not treat a hyperinfection, you have a 70% chance of dying.

DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO COMPARES YOU TO A FARM ANIMAL AND TELLS YOU IT'S O.K TO TAKE STEROIDS FOR STRONGYLOIDES!!

Seriously, just don't! I've read and read all this mailing list crap and this person is a textbook example of delusional parasitosis, and people are acting like they are GOD.

Taking experimental mega-doses of multiple strong pharmaceutical drugs while not under a doctor's supervision can be deadly. I know this fight is hard, and it's long and it's so frustrating. I've many times thought it was over for me, and it came back. Strongyloides is not curable unless it's caught in its very early stages before they begin to encyst themselves.

Treat strongyloides like a chronic illness and do what you can to keep it under control, but PLEASE, if there is one thing I can convince you not to do, DO NOT TAKE STEROIDS. Unless you just want to die, and then save yourself some pain and off yourself another way. Tweet
