I am confused about the development of resistant strains. On one hand, the doctors tell you how important it is to finish a round of anti-biotics, because if you don't kill all the bacteria, they will come back and be resistant. On the other hand, the purveyors of herbal anti-parasiticals say it is important not to over do it, because if you use them continuously, they might develop resistance...

So if I know I haven't gotten them all out of my system, yet, because I still have some symptoms, although they are much milder than before, do I keep on exterminating, or give my body a rest?
"

There seems to be no consensus in regard to the issue of "resistance-development" so far, and much is still been debated. I have many questions myself.

However, I have observed the phenomenon, so I know it exists.


















"
A long time ago I read in the newspaper that a home exterminator company had come out with another kind of insecticide because what they were using wasn't killing the roaches any more. A few years later, I called them, and they had switched back to using the original stuff. What was up with that? Did the new stuff stop working? Did they make some kind of chemical alteration to the original stuff? Do bugs get "unresistant" when they are no longer exposed for a while?
"

Any answer would be anyone's guess without hard facts to go along with them.













"
I have been told to keep increasing the herbs I am taking until all my symptoms are gone, then stay on them for another thirty days, and then do routine maintenence for the rest of my life. Well it's going on three years now, and although I'm feeling much, much, much better, I still have some symptoms. So I started hitting them really hard and increasing the herbs dramatically. The parasites started moving around and twitching and something tried to screw it's way out of my head!
"

How do you know for sure that it was "the parasites"?
I don't mean to question your symptoms, but to help you to consider these things in a way that Science might.











"
I have also been told that I am NOT supposed to take the herbs continuously, that it's dangerous to do so, and I have to give the eggs a chance to hatch out, that they won't hatch out as long as I'm taking the herbs. People have different opinions about how long to take a break. I've been told to take a break for five days, ten days, thirty days, ninety days, and six months. Nobody seems to know anything for sure.
"

Few people do, if any. That's why objectivity is so important for me.








"
It apparently depends on what kind of parasite is infecting you.
"

Could be. But it could also be anything else.








"
So then it gets really complicated if you have more than one kind, which most of us do.
"

That seems to be a fact.
















"
All I know is, if I take a break for thirty days, the stuff growing in me comes back hard and fast, and I could die from it really quick if I don't get back on the medicine pronto. And when I start back on the herbs, I herx real bad from a much smaller dose than what I was taking when I stopped for a break. But then it doesn't take me nearly as long to build back up to a high dose, as it did before.
"

That's good info right there.








"
So I don't know what the heck to do. I wish I did. I just keep listening to my gut instincts, pun ha, and hoping and praying their gut instincts aren't screaming at me louder than mine. And I keep reassuring myself that the fear and Depression I get every time I increase the dose, is their fear an depression, not mine. It means they are preparing to leave, resisting the exodus. I've been assured that the herbs I am taking will not make me feel sick, unless my body is toxic, and I've decided to trust that information.
"

The problem with this, scientifically speaking, is that it's all "hunches", "hopes", "opinions", "praying", guesses, in a sense. There's nothing to cling to in a verifiable manner.

I don't mean to diminish the value of prayer, of hope and of instincts. I believe in all of those, and then some. But when it comes to Science as an approach, one must base the next step on all others that have been based on something called "scientific Truths".
