Intestinal flukes are large, flat parasitic worms that live in the small intestine and can cause digestive issues, anemia, toxemia, edema, allergic reactions, neurological symptoms, and other signs of inflammation. Flukes are oval or elongated trematode parasitic flatworms that infect humans and domestic animals. Different species of flukes infect various parts of the body: Blood
Since parasites cause disease, it is very important to be aware of common parasite symptoms so that these infections can be treated early, before disease develops. This will prevent enormous suffering, premature death and save hundreds of billions of dollars in healthcare. Parasites can cause virtually any symptom in the body and can impact our
Many find themselves in a dilemma when they suffer from serious symptoms and seek medical advice for a diagnosis only to be told that they have a psychological condition and they’re pretending to be ill or deliberately making up symptoms to gain attention. This is the unfortunate reality for many seeking help from our current
This post discusses compelling research and case studies that reveal how malaria drugs significantly help MS patients. Last week’s post reviewed evidence about the many similarities between MS and malaria. In 1917, Castellani wrote that he observed four cases of malaria that closely resembled disseminated sclerosis which is the same type of condition as
This post reviews a new study that reveals a large body of evidence confirming a causal link between gut microbes and the onset and progression of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, MS and Huntington’s disease via the microbiota gut-brain axis. Microbes in the human G.I. tract have been linked with many chronic diseases including
In this week’s post, Pam Bartha discusses the findings of new study that suggests that injecting a specific type of stem cell into the brains of patients living with progressive multiple sclerosis is safe, well tolerated, and may protect the brain from further damage for at least one year. Is implanting stem cells into the
Fungal infections are commonly found in the central nervous system of people who suffer from diseases like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and ALS. Fungi trigger inflammation and thus worsen disease. This post discusses types of fungi that have been discovered in the central nervous system, the symptoms they cause and the best ways
Gadolinium is a metal used to enhance MRI images and help diagnose multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, cancer and infection. It is known to build up in the body, including the brain, and there is no central authority keeping track of gadolinium dosage over a patient’s lifetime. This post discusses the safety of gadolinium, potential adverse
There is a growing interest in the carnivore diet because many who follow it find that it greatly reduces symptoms and inflammation for various autoimmune diseases. This post will discuss the pros and cons of the carnivore diet and why some people with MS notice symptom improvements while following it. Over 90% of people who
Multiple sclerosis patients suffer from dysbiosis where the microbes that live in the digestive tract are out of balance. This disruption to their microbiome plays a key role in the development and progression of MS and has thus prompted researchers to investigate if fecal transplants could serve as a treatment for MS. This post will
An MS diagnosis is difficult enough, yet research has revealed that people diagnosed with MS are at a higher risk to also suffer from a wide range of other diseases, which greatly impact quality of life and can lead to premature death. Are these other diseases just the consequence of multiple sclerosis or the result
Many studies have identified various types of parasites that infect people diagnosed with MS. These parasites cross the blood brain barrier which is supposed to protect the brain and spinal cord from invaders. Why is the blood brain barrier compromised in MS patients? New research shows that people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis are infected with
Pam Bartha shares the journey of one of our current students who is recovering from multiple sclerosis while following the Live Disease Free Plan. Pam shares her student’s health history, symptoms and diagnosis, the steps she is taking to recover, the treatments that she tested well for, pictures of parasites she has passed and the
A spinal tap test can show an increase in antibodies in the central nervous system (CNS) and is often used to diagnose MS. Yet, 5 to 10% of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis do not show increased antibodies in the CNS. Also, many other inflammatory diseases and parasites are associated with increased antibodies in the
Intestinal flukes are more common than we realize. They are large, flat parasitic worms that live in the small intestine and can cause digestive issues, anemia, toxemia, edema, allergic reactions, neurological symptoms and other symptoms of inflammation. This post discusses the symptoms of intestinal flukes, what they look like, how we become infected with
In a recent study, immature and developing tapeworms were discovered in the spinal fluid of every MS subject tested. This post discusses the findings of this groundbreaking research and how it brings us closer to the cure for MS and other neurological diseases. The cause of MS is unknown and there is no cure. I
Tapeworm infections cause disease and are more common than we realize. This post discusses how we become infected with tapeworms, the signs and symptoms of tapeworm infections, the nutrient deficiencies and complications they cause and the best way to treat them. What are tapeworms? Tapeworms are flat segmented worms that infect animals and
The following fascinating short videos show the presence of small filarial roundworms in the blood, breast and scrotum of patients. We normally think that worms only infect the GI tract. Yet, there are many different species of small roundworms that can infect the blood, eyes, central nervous system, lymphatic system and many other parts of
