Skin Parasites That Never Stop Itching

Does your skin itch relentlessly? If so, you may be host to one or more types of skin parasites that are unknown to most physicians.

There are several things to look for on your body to determine if you suffer from skin parasites.

• Stinging or biting

• Non healing lesions or sores

• Fibers or filaments on skin at various non-healing sites where the parasites reside. You can see it with the use of a jeweler’s loop and they are also fluorescent under a ultra violet light.

• Cotton-like balls on your body without any reasonable explanation

• Intense itching skin

• Chronic fatigue

• Brain fog

• Hard nodules under the skin

• Fibromyalgia or joint swelling and pain

• Black specs on the skin and bed sheets

• Hair loss

• Presence of tiny strawberry type of spots--look like bright red blood spots just under the skin.

The presence of any three or more of these symptoms are associated with the Morgellons parasite plus a co infection of protozoan and or Lyme disease.

Morgellons is just one of several skin parasites that can drive you crazy with your skin itching with biting symptoms that are relentless. Other parasites that cause some of the same symptoms are:

•  Strongyloides stercoralis—a nematode

•  Collembola (Spring tails)

Which one is the culprit is not easily diagnosed. Fact is that there are no recognized diagnostic procedures for Collembola and Morgellons and most doctors, upon examination of the skin, diagnose the problem as stress, being in your imagination, anxiety, general nervousness, Rosacea's Red Face, or worse yet that you have acrophobia.

There is a antibody blood serum test available for Strongyloides stercoralis. A laboratory in Tucker GA, Parasitic Disease Consultants 2177 Flintstone Dr. Suite J, Tucker GA 30084 will perform the test for about $75. The phone number is 770-496-1370. But don’t hold your breadth; even if it’s diagnosed as Strongyloides, doctors are very unfamiliar with its treatment. Whereas they prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infections like candy, they are totally unfamiliar with the use of wormers and may not prescribe the correct one or the right dosage.

And then again, since these parasites weaken one’s immune functioning, other parasites such as collembola may have joined the fray complicating the treatment. In fact, for both Collembola and Morgellons there is no recognized treatment by the CDC. Fact is that they are just beginning to research Morgellons.

To further complicate matters, usually these parasites are carriers of Lyme, Protozoan and or Toxoplasma gondii (organism often found in cat feces). These organisms further compromise immune functioning complicating the process of any medical treatment.

There are only a hand full of physicians nationally who are aware of Morgellons and Lyme. They treat the Lyme disease, protozoan, and the toxoplasma gondii with long term antibiotics, anti fungals, and anti protozoan medications. The goal is to build immune functioning by getting rid of the Lyme, Protozoan and toxoplasma gondii... to free the body of the parasites. Unfortunately, to further complicate matters, most diagnostic laboratories test negative for chronic Lyme disease  for many different reasons. The only lab I recommend is Bowen Labs in Tarpoon Springs FL. They use microscopy to locate the pathogens. You can reach them at 727-037-9077 to find a doctor in your area that is familiar with advanced treatment of Lyme.

Nevertheless, to date, I haven’t heard of any cures for parasites from this approach. As far as the Lyme disease goes, the medical profession is in the midst of a huge controversy re this long term treatment of Lyme with antibiotics. Alternative therapies using Cat’s Claw, Taurox along with selected vitamins and diet may be as effective as the long term antibiotics.

Being infected with these parasites is a living hell—perhaps like Job’s experience in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. But what’s even worse, is that some of these parasites are extremely contagious. One person inadvertently gave them to her sister by exchanging dresses at a wedding which resulted in her entire family being infected; many infected from simply living in the same household; some infected from sitting in an infected chair…

In desperation one generally goes to the internet for solutions. In fact if it weren't for the internet many of us would have little option than to wonder if our doctors are right about it being "in our heads." However, the internet is also a place for caution. It seems that everyone who has had some success with some kind of parasite claims to have a regime for dealing with the Morgellons parasites—some harmless and inexpensive and some as much as $1,600 claiming cure. Some even claim that Morgellons doesn't exist and that instead it's a nematode causing the problem.

Cure is a relative word. Cure after simply a few months exposure can be accomplished for most people with basic diet and some relatively inexpensive skin creams. However, cure after years of exposure is highly unlikely at today's level of understanding. After having suffered for approximately two years in the mid 90's I discovered a dietary connection. There are foods that feed parasites such as many types of carbohydrates and foods that starve them such as leafy vegetables and most proteins. The trick is to eat the foods that starve them and avoid the foods that feed them.

The diet has keep me symptom free and healthy for fifteen years and yes, I’ve tried everything which is what my e-book entitled Soothing the Itch Within and the Diet to Control It is all about. Through the years dozens of other sufferers have gained benefit from the diet and have become symptom free. And what’s even more valuable in addition to the e-book, there is a regular update available with new information as to what is working and what is not working—we (many subscribers contribute with feedback) keep on top of scams and share products that work and those that are a waste of time. Here is just one of nearly a hundred testimonials. "I've also sent your e-mail address to Ginger Savely, my nurse practitioner and foremost Morgellons "RX Doctor" so that she may relay your fantastic e-news to her patients world-wide. Your Parasite-Lyme Diet has helped me immensely."

Thank you.
