Generally when one thinks of skin parasites one thinks of scabies and ringworm for which the medical profession is well equipped.

Unfortunately, I contracted the types of skin parasites that doctors know nothing about. I was doing my annual spring cleanup in the backyard when it happened. As I was pulling a strangler vine from a tree, I felt a cloud of dust descend on me. I got rid of the vine, decided to call it quits, and took a shower without giving the dust cloud another thought.

My profession is about managing stress and using hypnosis to eliminate unhealthy habits. Within a month my life changed to the point that I was on the brink of an anxiety panic attack.

Two days later while visiting my mother; my friend, Fran, and I began to itch all over the body. We immediately went home and took hot baths which relieved us. But within hours we were both itching again. The next few days were horrendous and confusing as we used everything we could to get rid of them: anti-itch creams, ditch, Nix…

I deduced that the source of the infection was that cloud of dust, but that did little good. We soon realized that our bedding was contaminated and we began washing it daily with bleach. We took baths with boiling water two or three times a day to control the itching and biting. And then we realized that the bugs were all over the house: on the furniture, on the rugs… Thinking it must be some kind of mite, I ordered diatomaceous earth and sprinkled it all over the house.

Realizing how prolific the mites were, I treated my front and back yard and all bushes with an insecticide that kills jiggers.

Fran went to her doctor, who found nothing and urgently prescribed Elimite. We both used it thinking life would soon be normal only to find that within four days all symptoms returned.

I went to a dermatologist who after looking at all the bites and rashes took a sample from the plug for analysis and prescribed antibiotics along with Diprolene. Again we had about four days of relative freedom and then all the symptoms returned. My doctor called me to inform me that the analysis of the plug sample showed nothing.

I tried everything I could think of: boric acid, sulfur… I mixed sulfur with Vaseline and applied it to my skin. It looked like he had jaundice from liver disease; my silver hair was yellow. I noticed that my arms glistened in the sunlight, perhaps the eggs of the parasite.

After about three months of living in this hell. I experimented with about 30,000 mg of garlic and found that the symptoms stopped. After a few days I thought I was cured and stopped the garlic only for the itching and biting to return in a few days.

Fran moved in and got rid of her infestation with a product called Liquid Needles and ice baths. I never dared an ice bath and the liquid needles were like a Band-Aid.

I relied heavily on garlic and eventually was at around 200,000mg per day; she was taking those little round capsules like candy. I didn’t really notice any garlic odor on me so my body must have been using up all the garlic or it was oozing it out of my pores and I hadn’t noticed.

I finally confided in a friend who suggested I experiment with the diet, an alternative to garlic. I started eating only eggs and within a day all the itching and biting symptoms had subsided. Life can get boring with just eggs, so I started adding one new food at a time. I found that anything with wheat flour or oatmeal made the symptoms return. The rice was safe. Fruit was a big deal. The next two years were spent experimenting with various foods.

I eventually found a veteran doctor who was familiar with bird mites. He prescribed ORAP which along with the diet allowed me to eventually expand my diet to what I identify as a Stage II diet. The ORAP was stopped after ten weeks and I remained on Stage II of the diet for almost ten years, during which time I was married, had normal sexual relations, and was contagious as long as I remained on Stage II of the diet.

Over the years, I’ve helped dozens of other patients get rid of symptoms with diet. I’ve also found that itch and bite symptoms can be caused by a number of different organisms:

o Nematodes such as Strongyloides stercoralis

or Morgellons

o Collembola (spring tails)

mushrooms

or moths

I also learned that Lyme and protozoal infections often accompany parasites and compromise the immune system, further complicating any treatment attempts. And what’s more frustrating is that Lyme and Protozoan are not easily diagnosed except in special labs like Bowen Labs in Florida and Igenix in California.

I learned that there are diagnostic tests for some of the parasites, but with most of them there are no diagnostic procedures, much less treatment.

Everything I learned is in an e-book, Soothing Internal Itching and the Diet to Control It. It has all the details of the diet, disinfection and
bathroom protocols, medical approaches including transcripts with specialists in
the field, alternative approaches: rifing, ionic minerals, bentonite clay, faith healing: a chapter of testimonials, lyme treatment, protozoa…
