My husband became deathly ill after eating a fast food hamburger. The next day he was still so sick and lethargic I called the EMT's. He was admitted to the hospital, and ended up having pneumonia. He seemed much better after 5 day stay. However, he was having diarrhea more and more. He could see he had parasites in his stools. He was losing weight, and fast. Spoke to his cancer doctor (he was 3 years in remission) and told them. They sent him to the infectious disease Dr.s at this elite teaching hospital. The very first thing the intern asked was, "Have you left the country". No. But I have parasites. The main doctor came in and treated us like some low life lunatics. Finally he handed him a "poop kit" and told him to bring the sample back. Went home, didn't refrigerate it, and took it back next day after sitting all day. Came back negative. So we went to the clinic in our small town. Surely they had seen parasitic infections through the years, and my husband was losing weight rapidly, and the diarrhea was happening at anytime and (sorry), explosive. He had to wear 2 depends for safety. He was so embarrassed and was feeling so weak. The small town doctor (PA, who consulted with doctor and they all laughed in hallway at us. They gave him the poop kit, and brought it directly back. The next day it hadn't even gone to the lab. Didn't matter, it came back negative. He had every symptom of parasites. He was dying right in front of me. We returned to his cancer doctor for a checkup and he was concerned, but also a spot on his lung appeared within a month! He again referred him to specialist but when they saw it was us, said that he tested negative already, and dismissed us. That very night, his bloodwork from his doctors appointment had come back as usual except the hospital called at 7:30pm and said his RED BLOOD CELL COUNT WAS DANGEROUSLY LOW AND HE MUST BE AT HOSPITAL AT 5:00AM FOR BLOOD TRANSFUSION! No one had an explanation but ME! I had spent 100's of hours reading, researching, anything to help him. After the transfusion he felt better, but was still losing weight and still the diarrhea. I had called his sister and she mentioned an old boy out at the farm once took dog dewormer to rid of parasites, and we both agreed that is too risky. But didn't dogs have a more natural way to get rid of worms? I took a look. Finally on the 5 page of the search on google, a ranch wife was talking about putting Diatamaceous Earth Food Grade in their 4 Golden Retrievers food every day, with 5-10 day break every 2 weeks. Said, NO WORMS, REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENTS, SHINY HEALTHY COAT, WHITER STRONGER TEETH, MORE ENERGY AND HAPPY HEALTHY DOGS IN EVERY ASPECT. I was intrigued, but could I give it to my husband? At the very end of the article, the lady stated, "AND IT'S SAFE FOR YOU TO HAVE SOME TOO! " I looked it up and ordered the fastest way to get here, and that was 2 days. It was very reasonable as well. At the time, it was a 10 lb bag for $15.00 and s&h were free on first order. I started out small like they said, but didn't have much time. He had lost almost 50 lbs in 2.5 months. He was never overweight so he looked like he had anorexia, and he couldn't even play his guitar or model railroad (he was a professional musician, singer, songwriter, still actively playing up until he got this sick). We put it in our coffee, I put in 1.5 tsp first 2 days, then after reading it could be up to 1.5 Tblsp. I upped his to 1 Tblsp. He didn't like it at all, gritty, and he loved his a.m. coffee. SO, I made a cup for him plain to enjoy, the put it the DE in the 2nd cup. I also found out that in Cola (sugar free at the time because parasites love sugar), the DE was much less gritty tasting. After a week, the diarrhea started to let up. His bowel movements improved and after 2 weeks he was eating and having normal poop! Also, His color changed from the white anemic look (he was on prescription iron pills after blood loss as he was anemic), but he began getting the healthy color and glow back in his face and his eyes lost the dullness and started to shine again. After 3 weeks He was feeling so much better and no sign of parasites in poop. He wanted to stop, and I told him NO WAY. You are not risking any of those things still in there hatching, or any risk at all. As far as I was concerned, He and I both should take the DE the rest of our lives. He didn't like the taste, but he continued with it for 4 months, taking 4 days off every 2 weeks only after the first full 2 months were complete. Every single day after starting the DE he got better. It was a miracle. It truly was. Some people were doubting he really ever had parasites, because of the "negative" tests. But I found out that when the poop samples are examined, it is by a robitic arm, that swipes it onto a slide (a person doesn't even view it in most places) and then a COMPUTER, compares it to similar pictures. If he had a new type of parasite or one that wasn't in the computer, or the smeared slide was blurred and computer couldn't match it, it would come back NEGATIVE.

So, DE saved his life, and gave me (us) a bunch of other great things. My hair grew fast, and was thick and healthy. My never grow long nails were strong, my achy joints are flowing great, hardly a pain. My skin looks better. It has been almost 5 years ago, but I have sworn and testified to anyone who would listen about the miracle. One more thing, I almost forgot. When he went back to cancer doctor, 2 months after his last appointment where they saw the spot on his lung, it was gone. I believe, and even his top in the world cancer Dr.had to agree, that it was very possible the spot could have been parasites. My husband was cancer free for almost 4 years, healthy and enjoying life. Sadly, he was killed in a horrible accident. But, I want to let you all know how grateful I and so was he, that we found, Diatamaceous Earth Food Grade! 5

Hi Jules,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Diatomaceous Earth.

What brand did you use? There is a difference in quality between all the different brands of food grade DE.

Thank you, Sherri

Please note that parasite testing methods are not the best! There are a few parasitologist in the U.S. My naturopathic doctor told me story about a women that had all kinds of tests and had a parasite test and it was negative. She even flew out of the country to see doctors to figure out why she felt so sick no one could figure it out. My ND suspected parasites he put her on a long parasite cleanse she still felt sick but continued, after six months she felt very sick one morning and passed a huge parasite nest and was finally cured! I think tests, and scans miss things.

I was told by a lab tech how they test your sample. They mix it all up w/ saline so it's fluid, then put a smear on the slide and look at that. They see eggs but cannot say you have the parasite unless the # of eggs reaches a certain threshold, which it rarely does. Think - they diluted the sample and only took fluid, not chunks (the actual parasite). Even if they see the actual parasite, they must go by what the slide reveals. For an accurate test of parasites, take a stool sample to the Veterinarian and have them look at it. Much more accurate and they don't really care what animal the sample came from and you don't need much, maybe 1/2 tsp. My vet does a wink and a nod, tells me X product at the dose/lb and how often to repeat. They'll tell you pet meds are not as pure and ones for humans but that is not true. They're made at the same facility using the same process and merely packaged differently.

I had the same experience with my doctor. However, by the time I received negative results, I was already using a parasite detox and passing worms and eggs. I have since learned that parasites are active during a full moon and that's the best time to test. A veterinarian is your best bet for testing. Other than that, there are only two labs worthy of testing your feces for worms. One lab is in Texas and the other is in Mexico, where in some regions they are required to detox parasites. My doctor admitted she knew nothing on the subject of parasites, as it's not taught in medical school. She asked me too keep her posted. I spoke to her assistant about my findings. One week later I got a call back, asking me to come in for another test. No need for a stool specimen. This test would be performed by a Psychologist. I was told that I could be experiencing a type of psychosis. I agreed to come and bring my two daughters and my grandchildren for testing. Those that saw the worms and eggs. She back peddled, shocked that someone else beside myself had seen the little worms. I haven't been back to see my doctor since. I've had worms exit my nose, ears, anus, and skin.

She was assuming you were psychotic, stating you saw worms etc? Since that episode what did you eventually do for help with these parasites?
