Hi Sharll, I too have battled constipation all my life. (I'm 63) Just recently found this great forum site and started reading, going to the sites mentioned and reading some more. For me it was necessary to get my bowels moving before I could start the parasite cleanse. I used the coffee enema (recipe at curezone too) and did that for 7 days. I could not believe my eyes at what was coming out. I then started taking psyllium husk capsules to bulk up my BM. Two with each meal and three at bedtime. Then I got the Para-gone at the Whole Foods Grocery and started taking it. I put a flashlight by the commode and would look at the stool. Flecks of color thru and thru, and I didn't eat anything that color so it was parasites. Since the stool was bulked by the psyllium I didn't see any worms like with the enema. Just the odd specks of color. I still have flecks of color and I am on day ten. Since taking the psyllium and drinking more water, I am having three to four BMs a day. I have stayed on my regular diet thru this. I have done a fast in the past and it took three weeks to get my bowels back to at least one BM a day. so I am reluctant to try that. Hope this helps answer some of your questions. A fellow traveler, Omie
