Me beloved mums (hereafter MBM) suffered 9 bouts of severe vertigo: dizziness, nystagmus (eye pupils bouncing), nausea/dry heaves for 3 - 6+ hours, and dehydration beginning February 2007. On days when she wasn't hunched over the toilet she was lethargic and a zombie (brain fog). She was admitted to the hospital twice during this time; thousands of dollars of tests later, traditional medicine's diagnosis was "you're a medical mystery" and "labrynthitis" and "mild to moderate sinusitis" with possibly 2 retention cysts showing in the CAT scan. From my amateur research, it looked like Meniere's disease.
This is my first post to Curezone, and I preface my story with humble thanks to (1) the CZ owner for maintaining his magnificent website; (2) to mature CZ members who have have taken the time and trouble to post their experiences, resources, and knowledge; (3) and finally to Mr. R.G. of the Humaworm Forum for his exceptional anti-parasite, anti-fungal herbal product.
Quick background:
Several years ago MBM suffered anosmia (loss of taste) and concurrently a loss of smell. One doctor gave her no hope of recovery, an ENT specialist suggested she had a 50% chance of recovery. A "virus" was indicted as the robber of her two senses. Nine months later, she in fact miraculously recovered her taste/smell, but her sinuses seemed compromised off and on thereafter, and she had this weird habit of coughing for a good hour each morning until she had coughed up (and swallowed) phlegm.
Then in February, MBM suffered her first bout of violent vomiting. Even regularly taking meclazine (antivert) didn't halt the attacks. Her head felt like it was stuffed with wool; sometimes there was almost a vibration on her scalp that preceded a sense of her ears "filling up" -- at which point vertigo/nausea was triggered. Applying a Transderm Scop ear patch halted the attacks but only several hours later (I could be wrong but I think a main ingredient in the patch is belladonna). A 6-day round of prednisone brought no relief.
Thinking outside the box . . .
A naturopath/RN suggested we had inadvertently stirred up parasites when MBM had begun weekly footbaths/reflexology; the footbath's electrical current wasn't strong enough to kill the parasites, she surmised, but it had perhaps angered them enough that they were dumping toxins, making her ill. We ceased the footbaths, but to no avail. MBM's skin grew pasty, her energy level was zilch. Her life was incrementally ebbing away before my very eyes! The NP pressed MBM to consider a parasite cleanse. About the same time, another dear NP friend evaluated MBM and opined "Candida"; she began MBM on an herbal/diet regimen mid-April. Two weeks into the new diet, MBM had suffered 3 more vertigo attacks, the last one on a full moon.
Enter Humaworm
All this time, I had been lurking and reading R.G.'s enlightening comments in the Humaworm Forum, as well as testimonials from others, esp. those who defended R.G. against "parasite scattering" charges. His reasoned, patient replies regarding resistant parasites made sense, and so I plucked up my courage. I had received my first order of Humaworm in late April, but had been afraid to use it until now, early May. Allopathic medicine had struck out, and so MBM agreed when I asked, "Are you willing at this point to do whatever I suggest to regain your health?"
Compliance rewarded
"Yes. I'll do whatever you say." And she did. And (drumroll) -- she is remarkably better. Beginning in early May, she went on Humaworm, continued with the Candida-free diet (tho we halted our herbalist's candida-fighting herbs since it seemed redundant) as well as oil pulling. Drank at least 2 quarts, if not more, of H20 each day. I zealously kept a journal of each day's tinkering. Besides taking Humaworm, MBM also began each day eating 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seed and a cup or so of fresh cut pineapple. We juiced, ate trail mixes, baked red potatoes, tossed salads. Lost weight *smile*. No red meat, no alcohol, no refined carbohydrates, no sugar, no coffee, etc. She continued with the meclazine as well. Early in the Humaworm regimen, 2 strange puncture holes appeared, one each about 4" below the tip of each big toe; a few days later a strange "fever blister" erupted below her lower lip although it neither burned nor hurt. Day 2: white "strings" appeared in her stool. Day 3: she felt incrementally better when awake. Day 4: she felt the precursor to a vertigo attack but it didn't go full-blown. Day 5: heartburn. Day 6 - began 2nd 6-day round of prednisone; we didn't have the courage to cancel app't with family doctor). Day 8: "full ears" & she applied a belladonna ear patch (no vertigo). Day 9: white "thing" in stool. Day 17: nystagmus, vomiting, dry heaves. Day 29: full moon but no attack.
Day 30: one vertigo attack the entire month (versus 1-2x/week). Wow. Day 31: Added caprylic acid, probiotic and joint care supplements back into diet. Continued with oil pulling (1 drop of oregano oil in Tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil). MBM's religiously using R.G.'s recommended in-between herbs daily: 1/4 tsp. each of garlic, onion, thyme, sage, ginger & cinnamon. Still drinking 2 qts water. Still passing "things" in bms; not knowledgeable enough to know exactly what they are (worms and/or candida strings), though there have been several times the things definitely looked like threads/worms. In retrospect, I wonder if the retention cysts in her sinus cavities could have been parasite eggs?
Afterthought:
MBM has an affinity for all animals. A year ago she had handled box turtles, whose fecals at the vet's, revealed they had hookworms, roundworms, and possibly strongloides. The vet staff remained skeptical that she could have acquired parasites from the turtles, but I can't help wondering. They said "maybe a transdermal transport" from turtle to human, but couldn't see how MBM could be passing hooks and rounds from her GI tract.
Thanksgiving . . .
In about 6 weeks, MBM's health has done a dramatic turn-around for the better. She still is not 100% in the head, but each week she notes she feels slightly better than she did the week before. Her energy is returning, and many friends and acquaintances have offered unsolicited comments about how much healthier and bright-eyed she looks. Just today I reminded her she hadn't had a morning coughing fit in months. Her only regret has been having to quit Humaworm after the 30 day treatment, but our calendar is set for the next round after our 90-day hiatus.
R.G., you should be proud of your product; know the Lord, the Giver of all good gifts, is blessing others because of your wise stewardship of your grandmother's recipe and your meticulous supervision of fresh ingredients. MBM and I thank you for redeeming her life.
