Parasite infection

I had what I thought was a terrible stomach virus last week. I suffered from diarrhea and stomach cramps for four days. I had absolutely no appetite either. When I went to the doctor, he ran some tests and found I was suffering from an internal parasite! He said it was a giardia infection. I never heard of such a thing–I thought worms were limited to dogs. I have absolutely no idea how I got this worm. I don’t remember drinking contaminated water, unless the water from a local park’s water fountain was dirty?

Anyway, the doctor put me on some antibiotics, and I am feeling so much better. However, I wonder if my bout with parasites could have been prevented if I was on an internal cleansing program. My husband has always been interested in internal body cleansing, but he does it with a three-day juice fast. A friend of his told him about the Detoxdologie products, and now he is trying to get me to take some preventative medicine.

What is the difference between the doctor’s antibiotics and herbal supplements? Could I have cured my giardia infection with herbal supplements? Are they as effective as antibiotics?

I will try to do some research on antibiotics versus herbal supplements and see what I can find. Any knowledge that you have about traditional pharmaceutical medicines versus herbal supplements would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!
