UPDATE:

 

Ridiculous bad meeting with Dr Edwards this morning. Thermography showing inflamation in colon. Haven't been sleeping well at all. Elimination is ok but most BMs are from using cleansing so not near normal. Worse low T produced drooping colon been taking the cream hormones but they are causing more problems as well, especially with EMF and the nerves.

 

A big problem is metals which are in my head and I can't sleep well, not at all. I do not know for sure what to do here and I am not excited for IV chelation. However, I wsn't excited for hormones either. Doing suana might help with that.

 

Basically the problem is extreme toxicity. The parasitic worms in my small intestine hold metals and toxins and it is better to not kill them bc this will release them and this is why I am in this situation. I do feel trapped and burning in the skin and need to sleep very badly to build muscle and repair my body. Will continue to restrict computer use for a while ... it is very hard to live with out computer for ever one day. I can't believe just 20 years ago I knew noone who used a computer everyday in their home or used a mobile phone everyday and now I know noone who can skip one day without either.

"Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me.

Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there
Everybody's got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now."

What can they do to get the worms out? This seems like something conventional medicine could understand.

Actually regular doctors are lousy at this. THe only treatment is high dose anti-parasitic drugs which cause as many problems by destroying the worms and releasing the heavy metals. Dr Klinghardt, the MD Lyme renegade who is well famous for treating my condition, has an approach that might work -- I may go to his clinic in the summer.

 

I find I am now way more sensitive to EMF due to the metals and the infections. I feel more optimistic than I have in a while but I am a mess overall. I am glad to be alive and I think I still might recover. My colon will remain a problem for a long time, like years but I won't give up.

aw alex ive read your updates and everything.,. feel so sad that you are struggling so much with things. I will pray for you , I hope you will feel better soon.

2007 - 2013: was on citalopram (tried to quit a few times, never worked, always went back on. max dose 40mg)

2012-2013: was tapering my citalopram all down to 2,5 mg then quit.
2013/aug: Took  my last pill 

W/D hit me bad after a few weeks off my medicine.

2014/August: 12 months off (much improved)

2015/April: 20months off. ( much improved, still some symtoms comes in waves, but not so intense.)

2015/june: 22months off. FELT different than before, all shakings suddenly stopped, feel much better. a fantastic feeling!

2016/Feb : 2 years and 6 months off, END of my suffering. I feel perfectly fine and back to normal. 
2018/Oct: Iam still feeling great. It is hard to believe my own story when I read back, what I went through!

Thanks for the kind words, folks. I appreciate it a lot.

 

UPDATE:

 

Continue bone loss. Rogers scan shows 'autoimmune' bone disease, [basically chronic bone infection] and sometimes it feels like my fingers will literally snap in two. My arms are much slimmer than last year because of the bone atrophy. Fruits [sugars] are making it worse.

 

Waiting for testosterone results. Not sleeping well, though a bit better lately. Extreme sensitivity to EMF due to phospholipid deteoration around the nerves, another 'autoimmune' disease. Testes continue to atrophy, again 'AI'. Will have T-cell check to see blood levels soon. Tricothecene deadly mold toxin remains elevated inurine.

 

Starting physical therapy to [slowly] rebuild core and support colon.

 

Eventually, I will stop eating and do a master cleanse or a Richard Schulze type cleanse with binders/juice, can't see how I get better until then.

 

Doing a protocol with Joseph to [gently] remove the lead from my brain, progress for sure. The metals in my brain are making the EMF stull way worse.

 

Lost sports bet on Saturday [don't ask] and could barely sleep. Stupid descision. Not about the $ loss [i had forget I even had the money in the online account for months and months] but that I hypercharged my immune system as my longest odds for a big payday nearly became reality. Stupid risky thing to do!

 

I need to arrest the bone loss though, prioirty #1. Rogers gave a homeopathic bone regen forumula.

Thanks so much. I am trying not to be overwhelmed with frsutration. I keep losing bone majorly. THE MAIN REASON FOR THE BONE LOSS IS WORM INFESTATION. WORMS EAT FOOD AND CREATE WASTE AND BONES ARE BROKEN DOWN TO BUFFER THIS WASTE.

 

I am ready to cleanse these worms from my body to begin a complete healing.

 

I am of the opinion that if I were to remove these parasitic worms from my body I would literally be 99% recovered in less than 3 months. I am very very lucky to have all of the gifts that God has provided me, especially this information so that I may make informed decisions about my well being.

 

I am trying to see another doctor who will help me to cleanse these worms. Unfortunately, the worms seem to have benefits such as keeping mercury, lead, shiga toxin, tricothecenes and ochratoxin from being released all at once and gravely injuring me.

 

My advice to all: Stop eating toxins entirely. Toxins provide sustenance for internal parasitic and symbiotic organisms and make it very difficult to safely eradicate them and cause 'mystery' osteoporis and autoimmune disease and 'psychiatric' disorders.

Hello,
I am tapering Lorazepam, and my daily dose is 1.125 mgs.

I followed a long hold for 5 months, ( Nov-March 2019) hoping to find some stability, 

but it did not work. So I resumed my taper and hold pattern.
For the last 3 years, I have been using a daily microtaper, cutting .001mgs per day, with holds as needed.
Symptoms are head pressure, labored breathing, palpitations, abrupt surges of dizziness, this being my worst symptom for now, internal tremors, my latest nemesis, unsteadiness, anxiety, plus many other symptoms that cycle in, and cycle out consistently. Not a day passes, without grief :(

I take no other meds.

January 2013 - 15 day quick taper off 10 mgs of Lexapro, and 25 mgs of Sertraline,

at a detox clinic.

Thanks Lex. I am grateful for your prayers, please send me that energy! I will pray for you as well!

 

UPDATE:

Not going to eat anymore meat at all for awhile. My bone loss is largely (not totally) due to mineral deficiency and alkaline/acid balance. The ph issue is made way worse by thousands of parasitic worms which create waste that needs buffering with alkaline minerals and this is why so-called acidic foods such as coffee, dairy, sugar and others have aggravitated bone loss.

 

Tomorrow a bone density scan. Hope I have no issue with the radiation.

 

Talked with Smiley about a fast. She agrees with me that fasting is only way to remove the worms, then I must reove the eggs and then try to rebuild my body. I am working on the Richard Schulze Incurable Program which I will do with supervision, though I can't find anyone to oversee it.

 

Starting now no more meat for a while. Also I am losing bones somewhat because I have no structure in life and no place, a very esoteric idea which I believe in -- to a degree.

 

I told Smiley I will bring the evidence of the worms in for her to see in a bucket. The one thing that is very important is that 1. bowels move (laxatives herbs for this) and 2. that I don't explode the worms and release the toxins. I need them to come out whole, like they did in November when I didnt eat for a week.

 

I realize this is very gross, and I hate feeling gross. But I do not feel ashamed and I am grateful that I have so bad a case so I that I had to discover the cause and know can heal and share my findings with others. I do feel very blessed in this way.

 

I know I am going to struggle with incredible cravings like nothing before really as these worms try to trick me to feed them. Even knowing this, the worms can influence my thinking greatly. Prayer will help me through this struggle. I will attend AA as well, or something like, I think.

 

Good luck to all.

Sheesh!  I'm glad you found out what was wrong, but what an unusual thing to have happen.  Or maybe not.  It's been a long time since doctors took the trouble to find out what's really wrong instead of just dishing out prescriptions.

 

You're in my prayers.

Alexejice -

 

First of all I am so sorry you are having to go through all of this. I really hope your doctors are treating you very good. And that they aren't reaching for some RX pad to write a script for say Zoloft or anything.

 

A couple of things struck me about what you wrote.

 

1. First of all do you know how you ended up getting the parasites? The worms? I know you said in my thread they are more common than people realize (and this I absolutely do believe), but I've been curious to see if you knew how you got these or when did they begin/make an appearance?

 

2. You are going to try a no-meat diet? I've heard both good and bad things about meat for those who are ill. I'm sure you know with those with fungal issues meat is a staple, but I know nothing about parasitic diets at all, so I can't speak to that.

 

3. You say you are losing bone mass because you have no structure in your life? I too think that I have lost so much neurologically for the same reasons. I go to work and come home and go some other places but I really have very little in my life in the way of warmth or comfort, so I've often wondered if that's why I'm so ill. If that makes any sense. When I have an erotic encounter I tend to feel better afterwards in a more whole, "human" way. It's hard to describe. During those times some of my symptoms are less. I wonder if it's similar to a "failure to thrive" kind of thing. I just don't know. I wouldn't discount what you've offered as a theory, though.

 

4. I've been on this supplement kick lately. Do you take anything at the moment? I'm considering lactoferrin ... I've read it boosts the immune system and kills off a whole host of things in the body (although you are right you may want to be careful not to kill off the critters as it will release metals/toxins... I've had plenty of encounters to know how that feels). I have also read lactoferrin helps arrest bone loss... I don't know. Something you may want to ask a homeopathic doctor about.

 

Alexejice I wish I could wave a magic wand for both of us and turn this around. I do think it will all recover in time. Do you get "windows"? Sometimes during a particularly strong window I actually feel die off reactions. No joke. It helps reinforce to me that a lot of this is from a screwed up nervous system and that if everything could just stand corrected inside of me for more than what... 2 hours or whatever lame amount of time my windows last these days, all these symptoms would iron out and resolve...

 

Hang in there and let us know how that new regimen works for you - and be careful!

 

Regards,

Jason :)

Thanks guys for the thoughts and prayers. I am not sure how uncommon the parasite infection actually is, except the degree of my problem is definitely uncommon in this country.

 

My bone issue is very confusing as well, part of the problem is ph but I also have a bone infection (bacterial/fungal) and mineral deficiencies. Day one of no meat today, just veggies today anyway, and this is going to be a problem because of my autoimmune issues and hypoglycemia. I have tools to try to keep things okay though, which is great blessing.

 

Jason, I don't know how I got the parasites. Probably I have two or more, as my immune system failed I seemed to pick them up. Basically I got them from other sick people and food. I would never take no meat diet as a normal diet but for a month or two I am hoping no meat will protect my bones and starve the worms. I think the bone loss is not exactly because of lack of structure but in an odd way it's making it worse, this is an odd but important concept. You example: it's tough to say. If your immune system is as poor as you think it is stop having intimate contact with other people because sex exposes to tons of bugs, it's not a good idea right now even if it makes you feel better. It might actually seem to make you feel better because you are making your body weaker by further taxing your immune which is allowing the organisms who are already living in you very happy and they are able to proliferate further so then they 'reward' you for doing what they want to keep them in charge by releasing chemicals which make you feel good. This is hard to explain really but you should pray about it. I made a big mistake allowing a erotic contact and that definitely overloaded me with microbes so I speak from experience and not judgment.

 

I am taking different supplements. I've been doing well with homeopathics since I am still pretty sensitive and not very good at absorbing nutrients through the gut.

 

I am glad the full moon is passed though tonight may be a bad sleeping night again. Despite my present physical challengers I am happy to have my life though and wish you guys a lot of success and think about you guys all the time.

We are so similar it isn't even funny. I have the following issues, as you do:

 

1. fungal infections

2. mineral imbalances (I think too much copper not enough zinc/iron)

3. malabosrption of nutrients

 

And you're right about the encounters, though my point was that I feel more "human" with someone than without, it's not even about sex really. But that can expose one to more bugs, etc.

 

Are you going to start taking any specific minerals? Do they suspect high copper and low zinc in you? Also have you suffered from any candida?

 

I hope you are feeling better. Even if it's just 20 minutes here and there. :(

Seems I injured my knees getting out of the car they buckled. Hopefully nothing serious.

 

I realize I badly posioned myself and that only I can unpoison myself. That said, I struggle with the anger.

 

Mineral broth helping with bone loss?

 

Lead in head in coming out, sleep is getting better a bit.

UPDATE:

 

Trouble walking. Toxins inflaming knees, evidently, possibly related to fungal toxins from food or plain food allergy.

 

BM today. Beets helping with BM not sure why.

 

Laid out due to knees and using internet more. I lonely and bored so I like to use the internet. I spend time lately on sports, facebook, this forum and of course health stuff like curezone, richard schulze, even pubmed and clinical nutrition. I don't want to use the internet as much. Ideally I'd like to take a month off, shame that that is impossible for me. Even when internet causes burning severe and brain problems, I still can not go one day without. If I had more real life relationships I'd have a better chance. On the plus side, the lead has come down a lot and the burning and insomnia is getting better, the EMF reactivity is reduced off course.

 

I am tying to picture what I want to do in life. I was in a funk for a long time, scuffling drinking can't sleep, exhausted, fat, then suicide  bankruptcy, mold poisioning, worm infection, parasites, autoimmune, thymus weak, dying stripper tried to kill me, bone loss, leaky gut and lead in the brain, mercury, toxic knees... I should reread this list to the tune of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire, LOL

 

Next in life ... ?? Not sure? I want to get away from the disease state and go out to the country and join a church. One the one hand. On the other, I want to partake in the revelry and yuck it up and eat well and drink and make money and relive the late teens and 20s and 30s I jaben't gotten to have, but I know the answer for me is to get away from the damp empty fungus and start over with the sunshine and the lamb and pure water and fishing in the Llano River and no cocaine around, no strip clubs, no group therapy no poison no liars no sickness... Family, not sickness.

 

I am 80% better though on a tightrope without wiggle room. THe worms make toxins and it takes all my energy -- that otherwise would go to repair my body -- to remove them. I may try a fast or something to remove the worms but so far I can't figure out to solve this part and I can not get well until my gut is healed and it WILL NOT HEAL so long as it's clawed up with worms. Still I need to be grateful to be 80% better. If I can raise my immune, raise my bm's and I can clear the toxins, clear the infections, restore my testes and pancreas and bones even, there is no question of this, I am glad to be alive and doing so well, which is a miracle after all the toxicity I have been exposed to!

 

Hope everyone else ie feeling well today!

Hi alex,

 

I wanted to introduce myself and say that I have read some of your story with great interest and greater empathy for all you have suffered. You are one strong character. 

 

Would also like to add that I would steal the quotation from your sig if I could  ^_^, all the way to the "R. Zimmerman," since that is exactly how I reference the Bobster whenever I quote him online. Kindred spirits. 

 

I wish you continued healing. See you around these boards. I ain't goin' nowhere and have a long road ahead, and this is the sanest place I've found for help with these horrible WD issues. 

 

Love and light.

04/2013 diagnoses: severe insomnia, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, agoraphobia. PTSD (my diagnosis)

Original scripts: 30 mg mirtazapine (Remeron) (1x day), 75 mg Bupropion HCL (Wellbutrin) (2x day), and 0.5 lorazepam (1x day or as needed)

05/05/14: Onset of acute Wellbutrin withdrawal symptoms after haphazard "taper" of 6-8 wks.

05/10/14: Joined this site.

05/11/14: Reinstated approx. 25 mg Wellbutrin (1x day)

05/14/14: Switched to 12.5 mg Wellbutrin (2x day)

06/28/14: Changed lorazepam dosing to .25 mg 2x a day - seems to be reducing anxiety flare-ups

07/28/14: Dosing Wellbutrin in a (home made) solution form 12.5 mg (2x day) 08/15/14: Remeron 28 25.2 22.7 20.5 18.5 16.7 15.1 13.6 mg (home made) solution

05/16/15: Have been dosing lorazepam at .5 mg in the morning, .25 mg in the afternoon, and .25 mg at bedtime. Anxiety has increased somewhat, possibly due to tolerance.

I feel for you so much Alex, it is tragic that you are having to cope with all this.  If this is 80% 

recovered I cannot begin to imagine the hell you have been through.  I'm so glad you feel that 

you are improving and hope the final 20% recovery happens soon, if anyone deserves a break

it has to be you. x

Thanks Mamap-

I am not sure if I am 80% recovered. As I think about this today I realize I really can not know how far along I am until I am finished and looking back in retrospect. I hopefully am 80% better, I am certainly feeling better but I realize that I am still pretty full or toxins and infections and I hurt my knee joint seemingly from detoxing too rapidly. So a lot of my toxicity is hidden and until I am done it's hard to say how far along I am.

 

I am considering signing up for a class soon or joing a meetup group and also a church.

 

Hopefully if my knee calms down I can resume walking and eventually get back on the full program.

Met w/ Joe again to remedy recent balance/memory/brain issue. He found lead in head increased and recommended a binding agent.

 

Met w/ community college to see about taking a course. Everyone who worked at the community college looked like they had a serious toxcity issue and an autoimmune diagnosis, I was probably the most well person in the building.

 

Struggling with elimination right now. Taking Colax 2x a day.

 

Been eating too adventurously lately, brown rice, soyfree mayo, and too many swt potatoes.

 

Knees are still inflamed but better. Muscle testing says fungal toxins after eating so many veggies and salads = too much detox.

 

I need to be careful with the homeopathics. Mycochord literally rattled my brain yesterday. 6 total drops over three days and I was severely inflamed. The mold patient groups say once the mycotoxins impact your memory, balance and hearing then you are not likely to ever fully recover from these losses. However I am already 50% recovered in less than 24 hr and expect to recover fully because I am lucky to have alternative methods of diagnosing which demonstrate lead toxicity is interfering with my nervous system's recovery. As I remove the lead, I will recover. Then parasites, of course. Then I will rebuild my body.

It sounds like you are making progress, Alexejice.  Have you found someone to work with? 

 

It sounds like you are more optimistic about a full recovery.  I think believing is half the battle.  Keep on believing!

 

As always, I'm rooting for you.

I've been working with a clinical nutrition chiropractor who isnt treatnig parasitic worms but is good for the rest. Interestingly he shares an office with a well known anti-psychiatry psychologist named John Breeding (he has a topic on this site somewhere) so he understands how toxic and sensitive and I am after psychiatry.

 

I am more hopeful than ever for recovery. It will take a long time, probably a year or more, for my colon to recover for normal BMs but I am going to stay the course.

 

Thanks for rooting for me, karma! I am rooting for you too!

I am giving thought to opening a Recovery Home for recovery from drug dependence and restoration of well being based on the sober living home model. I would initially focus on individuals recovering from prescription drug damage.

 

I am praying about this.

UPDATE:

 

We are moving soon. My lease runs out of June 14 and my mom will put our moldy house on the market. I think we will be able to stay in the general area where I've been since August but it is stressful to have to move in a few days, again.

 

I saw Smiley last week and she is more concerned about my bone loss. I've stopped taking the standard supplements because they are full of mold toxins. Rogers scan showed last week that I having an autoimmune reaction based on inhaled toxins such as mycotoxins.

 

I am taking an antifungal, herbs, and otherwise trying to limit the organic matter supplements because the mycotoxin intolerance remains severe.

 

Knee is healed, 90% anyway. Turns out caused by rapid mycotoxin detox damaging cartiledge. Added medi-clay to bind toxins. Pooping great, though taking intestinal cleansers. Sex organs, bones very badly atrophied due to so-called autoimmune disease.

 

Today eating veggie only. So far fruit and vegetables olive oil and salt. Too much fruit makes AI infections worse, I believe temporarily but the loss of testes is very scary. Will recheck immune cells, b12 and hormones on next blood panel.

WEnt to potential new house today but felt lousy inside, reactive. I am hopeful to have Suzanne check it out and that the problem is simply the cleaning chemicals the owners used before moving out. We are hopeful to purchase the house but we have until a week from Monday to withdraw. A lot of stress to figure out what to so, also the lease here at the apt is coming up soon.

 

Sleeping better since working on lead in head, also tektite was helping a lot but I can't find it and hope it turns up.

 

Terrific energy this morning, crazy great really. I think changing my diet triggered this indirectly. Also went to bathroom 2BM today, amazing!!

Thanks!

"Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me.

Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there
Everybody's got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now."

Even though you still have a lot of problems, you do sound better, more optimistic, stronger. I'm glad to see it. I hope the new house is good for you, and that you continue to heal and get stronger!

Started on Prozac and Xanax in 1992 for PTSD after an assault. One drug led to more, the usual story. Got sicker and sicker, but believed I needed the drugs for my "underlying disease". Long story...lost everything. Life savings, home, physical and mental health, relationships, friendships, ability to work, everything. Amitryptiline, Prozac, bupropion, buspirone, flurazepam, diazepam, alprazolam, Paxil, citalopram, lamotrigine, gabapentin...probably more I've forgotten. 

Started multidrug taper in Feb 2010.  Doing a very slow microtaper, down to low doses now and feeling SO much better, getting my old personality and my brain back! Able to work full time, have a full social life, and cope with stress better than ever. Not perfect, but much better. After 23 lost years. Big Pharma has a lot to answer for. And "medicine for profit" is just not a great idea.
