Hello,
I seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. About 6 months ago, I went to see a Naturopath for help relieving muscle pain I was having from Epstein Barr virus. He was very helpful in removing my pain.
He diagnosed me energetically with parasites (dwarf Tapeworm and ropeworm) which I successfully removed using herbs, medicine and coffee enemas. After removing the parasites, however, they released bacteria, and then I developed SIBO. We treated the SIBO with Oregano oil and Mastic Gum. It is better now.
During this time with SIBO, though, I developed really bad muscle pain, liver pain and then hair loss. I was taking 4 oregano oils per day and then we cut down to 1, and I am no longer taking Mastic Gum. The liver pain is gone.
My hair loss is now really bad. My Naturopath says it is due to low zinc and copper (I have a mineral test at home). He says the low minerals are fueling my Candida which is revving up the EBV and causing pain and massive hair loss. My head is now itchy as is my skin.
I believe my low mineral status is due to coffee enemas. I did MANY of them (some back to back) while removing parasites over the past 4 months. I did not always drink a fresh juice right after but did drink salted water.
During the past month, my weight really started to plummet due to my diet (Paleo) which I have been on for 6 months. I have lost 22 pounds and am down to 98 lbs. Because of this, I had to add grains and fruit back in to gain weight. Of course, now pain and other symptoms are back. Now I feel I am STUCK. Please help....not sure what to do next. My Naturopath wants me to do a hair mineral analysis as a next step. Thanks for any insight.
