Has Anyone Else Tried Humaworm?

I used it too. I didn't see anything startling while on it, but had seen part of a tapeworm and a roundworm just prior when I tried pumpkin seeds and pineapple for three days (sort of a modified fast). I am pretty sure I passed some stuff but it was pretty digested and hard to identify.

I'll probably retry it again in the later summer.

Are you sure it wasn't just an undigested pumpkin seed? Those things go through me whole if I don't chew them extra thoroughly.

I guess Sherry didn't see this. :)

For me, it was OBVIOUS it was a worm and not undigested food as it was longer than anything I ate, even in its broken up state.

The Humaworm does make me feel sluggish. It didn't help that I caught the flu when I was on it, but it definitely makes me feel less energetic than normal.

Of course, it has a lot of detox herbs and I've been on a lot of Lyme medication for over a year, so it could just be stirring up a lot of toxins in me. Both times I have really looked forward to my last day.

It seems I got my order within a week, a week and a half, of ordering.

If you don't get it by next week I would maybe contact the company.

I had to contact them and ask about my order. They got on the ball and sent it immediately after I sent the email. Sounds like they have some issues with their order processing. :\

I got my Humaworm capsules in the mail yesterday. March 29 and took my first two this morning. My hopes are so mixed! Nooo I can't possibly have parasites or worms! Ewwwwwwwwww But then again maybe its very probable. I am in a weird way hoping thats the cause of all my problems.

And how did the meeting with YoLo go? I have gotten so much out of her posts! :D She is wonderful!

Hi Gang

well I've read this thread with great interest. I see where it is helped the big D but what about the Big C?????

I haven't done a cleasne in many years & maybe just maybe that is why at times I eat but five minutes later I want to eat again...anyone else like that? Its not everyday that I feel like that but it happens.

Has anyone used it on young children? I read these threads very fast & today is a migraine day soooo I'm positive I didn't get all of the important stuff...

thanks

blessings

I started this morning, too! I had some stomach upset this afternoon, but some of it may be in my head. :P

Mamaw, I used it with my 11 year old. They have a children's formula. He saw some interesting things, though I didn't look at his results myself.

I have had an insatiable appetite for a couple of years now, I think. I want to eat all the time. Even when I know I can't be hungry!! It's a constant struggle to resist. And my weight is slowly sliding upwards. I remember an old saying about feeding your tapeworm, LOL !!! Maybe thats the cause. It would be good to have found the reason.

I took my first two capsules this am and haven't noticed anything yet. Lets keep in touch and we can compare notes :( It's going to be an interesting journey this month. ;)

After weeks of doing really well and probably 5 days from completing my course of Humaworm, I've had a major relapse. It has to be something I've eaten, I'm sure. I started getting adventurous in my eating again and reintroduced things I had taken out of my diet.

Well, hopefully this goes away quickly!

Hi Jules & Sharon :)

I'll be taking my fourth dose tonight. So far have felt nothing different. Isn't it scary when ya take that first dose.

Good luck to us all!

Keep me posted. SharonMarie

Gyah!! Ain't DAT da troof!!

Just took 2nd dose.

I did feel a little dizzy for a time this AM - ~2hrs after taking it.

And right now I feel a little heartburn/indigestion ~20min after taking it.

Haven't eaten anything recently, but there's a slight chance I suppose it's caused by roommate's cooking tho it looks like all the same stuff he always cooks.

Hmmmmm

I didn't feel dizzy but I did get heartburn. I recommend drinking down LOTS of water after you take the pills and whatever you do, don't lay down immediately afterwards. Sit or stand up for 30 minutes otherwise you will have terrible heartburn. At least, that was my reaction.

Thanks Nancy, I'll be sure to do that.

Ended up w/ an all-night headache last night, and am 95% sure it's attributable to the pills.

I haven't had ANY dried herbs in 2.5 yrs because I kind of overdo the anti-candida diet & haven't gotten around to testing any.

Wondering if my side-effects are more related to that aspect than anything else.

(EVERY dried herb has at least SOME microscopic mold, or so they say & I've come to believe)

Oh well ... ..here comes 3rd dose .. . .

I felt bad pretty much the whole time on Humaworm ..... but I felt so much better afterward that it was worth it.

My second round I had to stop 3 1/2 days before the end because we were going to travel. Pretty much as soon as I stopped, I felt better.

I take a lot of other herbs, so I don't think it's the mold in my case. It stirs up a lot of toxins ...... it's very cleansing.

I haven't really had any side effects except the first day. But I'm worried I've ruined everything because I took my dose late yesterday. And this morning too. :( I get so scared when the instructions say that you have to take them at such an exact time. Oh, well, I guess.

I took as more strict at first than I think it really is.

It says 12 hrs is IDEAL, but 8-12 hrs apart is fine too.

So if AM dose is 9am, PM dose can be anywhere betw 5-9pm.

And now I'm realizing that it can also be flipped, measuring the 8-12hrs overnight. (?)

Unless being asleep is a big factor, any daytime dosing that deviates from the full 12hr interval probably makes the overnight interval >12 hrs.

I doubt an hr or two here & there makes much of a difference.

After reading this, I ordered some for my whole family and dog. Between my husband's on-going problems, my son's new health/behavior problems and my frustration with psoriasis and hair that is getting thinner, I figure all 6 of us (other 3 kids too) are going to try it. I hope it works!

I'm on day 3 and the only thing I have noticed is a very nasty tasting belch from them. The reason may be because I have already been taking many of the herbs that are in the capsules. I have no idea what I may be expelling. Like Carla B I don't go digging ;)

Good luck everyone and stick with it.

SharonMarie

PS lonewolf I also suffer with psoriasis and thinning hair. Both are improving after going gluten free.

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.

      I think a UTI caused by Aspirin, made me a Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jimmydee! Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the consumption of gluten triggers a response by the immune system that causes the body to attack it's own tissue. Celiac disease has a genetic base that requires some kind of trigger for the genes to be turned on. We know that there are two primary genes responsible for providing the potential to develop celiac disease and we know that about 40% of the population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, that tells us that something more than just having the genes is necessary in order to develop celiac disease. Something must trigger those genes to wake up and produce the active disease. It's that "something" that we are struggling to understand and that is somewhat of a mystery. But there is a growing body of evidence pointing to the culprit being a disruption of the proper balance of microorganisms in the gut. Apparently, the microorganisms that live in our intestines produce chemicals that regulate the size of the openings in the mucous lining of our small bowel. A disruption in the healthy balance of this microorganic community causes an increase in the size of the openings in the mucous lining. This in turn allows protein fragments from the food we eat that are larger than normal to invade the mucous lining where they are detected as threats by the immune system. This is what is happening with gluten for those with celiac disease. The attack in the mucous lining of the small bowel by the immune system on these incompletely broken down gluten components causes inflammation and, over time, as we continue to consume gluten, it damages the mucosal lining of the small bowel which results in the loss of efficiency of nutrient absorption. This mucosal lining is made up of millions of tiny finger like projections that create an enormous surface area for the absorption of nutrients when healthy. The "wearing down" of these millions of finger-like projections due to celiac inflammation greatly reduces the surface area and thus the ability to absorb nutrients. This in turn typically results in numerous health issues that have a nutrient deficiency base. But the answer to the question of why there seems to be an epidemic of celiac disease in recent years may not be simple. It may have many facets. First, we don't know how much of this epidemic is real and how much is apparent. That is, how much of what we perceive of as a dramatic increase in the incidence of celiac disease is simply due to greater awareness and better detection methods? Celiac disease is not new. There is evidence from ancient writings that people suffered from it back then but they did not have a name for it. And it wasn't until WW2 that gluten was identified as the cause of celiac disease. Current thinking on what is causing imbalance in gut biology has put forth a number of causes including overuse of antibiotics and pesticides, environmental toxins, fluoridation of drinking water, preoccupation with hygiene and sanitation, and the western diet. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/theories-on-the-growing-prevalence-of-celiac-disease-and-gluten-sensitivity-over-the-last-half-century-video-r6716/?tab=comments#comment-25345 All this to say that I doubt your UTI or the low dose aspirin had anything to do with the onset of your celiac disease. It was probably just coincidence unless the UTI was the stress trigger that activated the celiac potential genes. The onset of celiac disease an happen at any stage of life and many people report it following a period of illness. But what is interesting about your low dose aspirin theory is that aspirin is in a class of medications known as NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs). Scientific studies have shown that long term use of NSAIDs can damage the villous lining of the small bowel in the same way as celiac disease.  The other thing I wish to point out is that unless you have actual testing done for celiac disease, you can't be sure if you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS doesn't damage the lining of the small bowel. There is no test for NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. The antidote for both is a gluten free diet.
