Sharon, I had that nasty belch too. Yep, nasty!

For the "major" worms, there was no need to dig ..... they float to the top. :ph34r: Unless they're buried, of course. :ph34r:

First time, I think it was a week. I still had some left (I even saw some after treatment ended), and the second time it was only after a couple days. The second time I only saw it once, but the first time, I saw it pretty much the whole time, off and on.

I think I had both roundworms and a tapeworm. In the beginning, the tapeworm was easy to identify as being flat, and the first time I saw it, I would estimate that there was about 4 ft of it broken up .... but the longer time went on, the more difficult it was to be sure it was still the tapeworm, might have been round.

You've got to remember, after this stuff dies, you digest it. Ewww.

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

I'm glad your skin and hair are improving! I've been gluten-free for a long time now and nothing seems to work - I'm hoping that this might be the answer.

I find this thread fascinating and disgusting at the same time. :lol:

A question for those who have used it. Is *ahem* deworming oneself something people should do as a preventative measure, or should you only wait to feel bad? I mean, I feel pretty great 90% of the time, but maybe I could feel even better if I got rid of the proverbial bats in the intestinal belfry. It doesn't cost that much. I'm tempted to try it out just to see what appears. :ph34r:

Thoughts?

You could look at the ingredient list and see what you think of the herbs. I think they are generally pretty safe, so you probably wouldn't hurt anything unless you are sensitive to one of the ingredients. There are some who think that everyone should do this periodically...I don't know if I'd go that far, but I think anyone who has any kind of chronic digestive/intestinal issues probably has some susceptibility to bugs.

I have or order more...it's time for my second round. :)

I'd do it if I were you! If I wasn't on so many meds for Lyme disease, I would take it. They are only herbs, so I can't imagine it would hurt you. And, it can in theory only make you feel better.

I don't think I had any parasites, but I do think I had a bacterial thing going on. I think this helped with that. Although I'm at the tail end of the course and having a relapse so perhaps not... :(

Wow I think I will try this too! I did read up on it and it sounds great. I am concerned the herbs will bother my intersticial cystitis bladder!! But then again, maybe my bladder issues are from parasites and yeast. Do you feel crappy enough while taking this that you missed work? If so, I may need to wait till June when I have my new round of vacation and sick time.

5 pages on Humaworm, look what you started Carla.

Colleen, going back many years it was very common for people to do 2 parasite cleanses a year as a preventative/maintenance measure. These remedies have disappeared in main stream medicine.

Just to add to Donna's post, if one is sensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients they will take them out for you, each batch is made to order. I had the psyllium and the cascara sagrada left out of mine.

I'm surprised w/ having zero appetite for dinner, having to force myself to eat.

It's been years since I felt that.

Not much appetite during the day either, but not the zero of nighttime.

Feeling overly sad & filled w/ celiac-regrets these past 2 days. And sometimes "paralyzed by indecisiveness", if ya know what I mean. I used to have a ton of that before treating candida.

Maybe the humaworm is really affecting my mind more than I originally thought.

I wonder if I can or should do the full 30 days. (Day3 now)

Or maybe it means that it's really working well - killing off nasties that then release toxins. . .. . .<sigh> I dunno ... .

I think it means you're having a die-off. I had to back of for a couple days .... You could try taking a lesser dose for a few days, or cutting it out entirely for a day .... but I think this is most likely an indication it's doing something.

I felt a lot worse for a few days .... almost fluish.

My DH who has a lot of GERD, had a lot of discomfort and heartburn while on the humaworm. He made it through the course and didn't notice anything else.

I did my first ART testing right after finishing my course of humaworm. She found I was very clear of any parasites, intestinal bacteria, candida. A couple of month later, I had more of this again.

So Tom, I think it could be clearing some things further for you, I'd hang in there. We've talked on the OMG thread about candida often being secondary...maybe parasites have compromised your system??

OMG!! That explains the sudden two pimples that have popped up on my face! Never even considered it might be the toxins erupting. I haven't had pimples in years. I am so excited about all this. Hopefully its going to cleanse and detoxify me.

I am extremely interested in this thread! I've had candida issues that only seem to show themselves after I take antibiotics. I'm getting ready to use Diflucon and Tetrazole simultaneously, then stick with the anti-candida diet (which I'm currently on).

I wonder if parasites could be the cause of my ringing ears? We brought a filthy, wormy stray 7 week old kitten into our home in October who had every kind of worm. Hook, round, tape, ringworm to name a few and giardia too. All 4 of us in the house caught the ringworm, desprite being extremely careful.

The cat is doing wonderfully now, but we were exposed to many parasites. So...after the treatment of candida and the MRI, and I get rid of this cold in my chest...I will be joining you all!

Good to those of you who have started and keep us posted!

I thought same at first then realized, for many of us, the first mention of humaworm, however many months ago, WAS by you!!! :lol:

Yeah .. . .I've been through candida die-off and this is pretty different.

The thing I'm wondering is whether it's the dried herbs' inherent moldiness having an effect.

Remember - I've had ZERO dried herbs in 2yrs 10mos. And have had to stay away from anything else w/ even miniscule mold.

Single-day leftovers are still a problem.

(Can't see the mold, but just as surely as it would be seen on forgotten 3mo leftovers, it's already started)

**wrote the above yesterday but didn't get it posted**

Today I feel a ton better so far. Sadness vanished & back to smiling. :)

Oops! While writing that :lol: I started feeling a bit lightheaded .. .. weird .. ..I would've expected that effect sooner, like on prior days when it was 20-40min. Right now it's 1hr 45m since taking the morning dose.

Are both my cohorts doing fine w/ it?

:rolleyes: I am on day 7 and so far the pimples have been the only sign of any visible toxins being emitted from my body. I'm 66 so pimples are not usual for me <_< It's gotten quiet here. Any signs of parasite expulsion from anyone else here ?? :(

      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.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By julie falco · Posted

      BRAND NAME: NOT BURGER PLANT-BASED PATTIES  A product I came across labeled gluten-free bought it when I got home I read the back ingredients further to notice that it says gluten with a line going through it u will see in the attached pics.     The label says down below that it is processed in a facility that also processes "WHEAT".  I tried to put this on the Gov. website as false advertisement but couldn't do it.  Maybe on here at least the word can get out to others not to purchase anything gluten-free without throughly reading the whole label....It won't let me upload 2 pics.  says to contact manager.   The products name is Not Burger    INGREDIENTS: Water, Pea Protein, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Bamboo Fiber, Less than 2% of: Methylcellulose, Dried Yeast, Rice Protein, Salt, Cocoa Powder Processed with Alkali, Psyllium Husk, Potato Fiber, Red Beet Juice Powder (color), Chia Protein Concentrate, Spinach Powder.   Manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat and soy.          MANUFACTURED FOR: The NotCompany, Inc, 438    Treat Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94110.
