ORAP OR LIQUID NEEDLES???

[lindalu]

This si an article I found.
Have not bought the book, but thought he offered a few suggestions that may be beneficial and back up what others have said. This is the first I have heard of orap.




Generally when one thinks of skin parasites, they think of scabies and ring worm for which the medical profession is well equipped.

Unfortunately I contracted the types of skin parasites about which doctors know nothing. I was doing my yearly back yard Spring clean-up when it happened. As I pulled a strangulating vine from a tree I noticed a cloud of dust descending upon me. I disposed of the vine, decided to call it quits, and took a shower thinking no more of the dust cloud.

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

Two days later while visiting my mother; my lady friend, Fran, and I began itching all over our bodies. We immediately left for home and took hot baths which provided relief. 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, rid, Nix...

I deduced the source of the infection was that cloud of dust but that did little good. Soon we realized that our bedding was contaminated and we began laundering our bedding daily with bleach. We took scalding baths two-to-three times per day to control the itching and biting. And then we realized that the bugs were all over the house-on the furniture, in the rugs… Thinking it must be some kind of mite, I ordered diatomaceous earth and dusted it all over the house.

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

Fran went to her doctor who found nothing and at her urging he 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 observing all the bites and rashes, took a plug sample for analysis and prescribed antibiotics along with Diprolene. Again we had about four days of relative freedom and then all symptoms returned. My doctor called 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. I looked like I was jaundiced with liver disease; my silver hair was yellow. I noticed that my arms sparkled in sun light-maybe the eggs of the parasite.

After about three months of living in this hell. I experimented with approximately 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 to have the itching and biting return within days.

Fran moved away and got rid of her infestation with a product called Liquid Needles and ice baths. I could never bring myself to an ice bath and the Liquid Needles were like a band aid.

I relied heavily on garlic and eventually was at about 200,000 mg per day-I was popping those little round capsules like candy. I really didn't notice any garlic odor about me so my body must have been using all the garlic or I was oozing it from my pores and was oblivious to it.

Ultimately I confided in a friend who suggested that I experiment with diet-an alternative to garlic. I began only eating eggs and within a day all symptoms of itching and biting had subsided. Life can get boring with only eggs so I began adding one new food at a time. I found that anything with wheat or oat flour caused symptoms to return. Rice was safe. Fruit was a big problem. The next couple years was about experimenting with various foods.

Eventually I found an old-timer doctor who was familiar with bird mites. He prescribed ORAP which along with the diet enabled me to eventually expand my diet to what I identify as Stage II of the diet. The ORAP was stopped after ten weeks and I remained on Stage II of the diet for nearly ten years during which time I got married, had normal intimate relations, and was free of being contagious as long as I remained on Stage II of the diet.

Over the years I helped dozens of other sufferers rid themselves of the symptoms with the diet. I also found that the itching and biting symptoms can be caused by several different organisms:
• Nematodes such as Strongyloides stercoralis
• Morgellons
• Collembola (spring tails)
• Fungi
• Mites


I also learned that Lyme and Protozoan infections often accompany the parasites compromising one's immune system further complicating any attempts at treatment. And what's more frustrating is that the Lyme and Protozoan are not easily diagnosed except for special labs such as Bowen Labs in Florida and Igenix in California.

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

All of what I've learned is in an e-book, Soothing the Itch Within and the Diet to Control It. It has all the specifics of the diet, disinfection and bathing protocols, medical approaches including transcripts with specialists in the field, alternative approaches-rifing, ionic minerals, bentonite clay, faith healing--a chapter of testimonials, treatment of Lyme, Protozoan…

Orap is the antipsychotic drug that the dermatologists prescribe for delusional parasitosis. It has some really nasty side effects including sudden death.

I really don't know how the dermatologists can hold their heads high.....

They are all part of this mess......from the get go....

I think dermatology is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!! I told my Fabry disease PA that they were a waste of medical school!!!! They just want to make money off acne and plastic surgery stuff. I even went to the University of Iowa Dermatology- the largest medical school in the US and it was a miserable joke!!!! They never once cultured or biopsied or put a woods lamp on the sores and even asked me what i was doing when it was better!!!!!
Well, guess the ORAP is not a good option!!!!! What the heck is liquid needles?
I wish if people had bought these things, they would bust the money making part by just passing the info along. I can pretty much guess the diet, I have read enough- veggies, low carbs, no sugar, no dairy, etc.
Well, thanks for the info.

Actually I think that dermatologists are a joke to other students in med school too (at least most of them--suppose those who choose to treat skin cancer might have something more to study). I have heard some med students pick that specialty just because they will never have to see patients on an emergency basis or pull the long hours other docs do. And they can pull in beaucoup bucks with little effort.

Tcm,I ve heard it`s the easy option to be a dermatologist too. They only become drs because their parents want them too not because they care about people.It`s too bad they are usually the first people we come across in our search for help.
They know how to throw a good party though.

Carla,

I am glad to hear they can do something with panache! Sounds as if you have been to one of the parties, so at least your money was partially refunded so to speak if you saw one for morgellons later on and that dermatologist christened thee DOP!
