Re: Morgellons/Parasites/Fungi/Progozoa??? These are in my skin, recently coming out in very painful (very sharp) die-off from the Mebendazole I'm taking (400mg 1x day).
Thank you for you replies and I apologize for not getting back to you and others. I receive 50 messages a day from the curezone server (must be forums/comments I am following), and direct responses are getting buried.
First, my skin has gone through worsened stage but seems it is turning corner this week - note that I took break from oral meds for 10 days and started over by taking individual meds to see if each had by themselves affect, and then in pairs. Keep in mind there may be built-up resistance issues at play at my stage.
Also it is hard to judge when no visual improvement means meds are slowing down but not curing the infection(s), or having no affect. I believe the former is more likely.
DEC by itself for 21 days (ramped up to 400mg 2x per day) was not curing, but seemed to be keeping it in check from increasing (conclusion made from seeing thinga get worse when stopping dosing DEC)
After 10 days rest of orals, I dosed last night Valbazen/albendezole of 568 mg (1 tsp) which I will take 2x per day, along with 400mg DEC (surprised I didnt get ill).
Took second dose today.
Noticable improvement in less than 24 hours.
Note that topically I have been treating erupting migrated areas with Ivermectin pour on, 4 applications a day and intelaced with careful removal of killed artifacts/remains as well as any still live things (always the same long flatish with tail and often with sticky thread like tail - like pulling a thread from a rug, it comes out leaving thin channel behind in skin).
i found like you, removal is essential and no specific area starts healing until all removed. Seems to be a trademark of all skin parasites. Topical treatment before (must be dead or weakened to remove with min damage.
Not sure if springtail or not - was one of my first guesses over two years ago. certainly similar - It also looks like demodex canis.
Regardless they are resiliant little bastards and seems only beating them down with all out warfare internally and topically has any success.
Went back to my GI to get referral to ID center that might be willing to take an interest in my "case".
He is getting me a referral to Mayo Clinic in Minn.
They seem to have a decent
parasite center headed by MD who posts a weekly blog /
parasite case of the week type forum.
Large expense for me to travel 1000 miles and stay for a week plus insurance wont kick in til out of network deductible met.
If I do it, I will be sure to report results. My experience thus far with doctors on this matter has been very poor (as almost everyone else finds), but think I will as this represents perhaps the best opportunity for progress and hopefully, a success story that will kick start other doctors towards a new attitude (and the beginning of the end of "delusional" diagnosis.
Finally, I have one
Amalgam filling in upper molar from 30+ year ago, and getting that removed first of January.
will update and thank you and all who responded.
