filariasis... subsubcutaneous and lymphatic

[Bee]

Almost everything they say and Don't say about worms is Stupid.
I think the reason why is because, They knew the worms would become resistant to all the meds eventually anyway. It was then or now.
That's why they treat the symptoms and not the cause.

Two questions--Can a chigger or lice be the carrier of the worms? Secondly, how does one get a doctor to do the card test? I am going to ask for some more tests soon. I think the CDC is trying to cover this up. How many people have to die before they declare this a real disease and treat it.

From what I have read about this so far...mosquitoes and black flies are the usual suspects. I am no doctor, but If by chance, one had lymphatic parasites, your immune system would eventualy be very messed up,and I am sure it's like openning pandora's box.

[Janice]

Of course it is by the CDC.
I dont know if this is what we have, but would shure appreciate any thoughts.

Wuchereria bancrofti are long and threadlike. The males measure up to 40 mm long and females are 80-100 mm long. Adults are found primarily in lymphatic vessels, less commonly in blood vessels.

definetly click on and magnify this one ...W. bancrofti adults

I hope you enlarged this image.

Microfilariae of Mansonella streptocerca are unsheathed and measure 180-240 µm. The tail is been into a hook-like shape and the nuclei extend to the end of the tail. Microfilariae are found in skin and do not circulate in the blood.

that looks very familiar! Janice

Hi Janice,

Are you going to ask to get tested for this one?


Filariasis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Treatment The recommended treatment for killing adult filarial worms in patients outside the United States is albendazole (a broad spectrum anthelmintic) combined with ivermectin.[3][7] A combination of diethylcarbamazine (DEC) and albendazole is also effective.[3]
In 2003 the common antibiotic doxycycline was suggested for treating elephantiasis.[8][citation needed] Filarial parasites have symbiotic bacteria in the genus Wolbachia, which live inside the worm. When the symbiotic bacteria are killed by the antibiotic, the worms themselves also die. Clinical trials in June 2005 by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine reported that an 8 week course almost completely eliminated microfilaraemia.[9][10][citation needed]


I know a few have studied this one here. Can't recall who. But they

may have good info too for you.

I want to get tested for what ever the symtoms call for. I am concerned about the lymphatic system fillarial. It opens up a whole new can of worms (no pun intended) The lymphatic system under attack is serious stuff.
I am currently taking mebendazole because the doc is concerned about my liver. I guess it is the most gentle. I will take what ever the doc in Miami prescribes if any thing. Janice

It would be interesting if they added Doxycycline to that. Well good luck.... Keep us posted. We have had the little black flies in our house. I think I might see if I can make a match to the one they say can carry this.

since you know the 'big words', ill post my bioplsy results. the first one i got, i didnt understand one word of it, lol, not well versed on the big words myself...ok, keep in mind, when i got this biopsy, i only had a rash, all over my back of my neck and chest...i had been here at this house about2-3 months.2/17/10
'submitedare two slides with serial sectionsof punch material from skin that demonstrates mildly spongiotic psoriasiform hyperplasia with overlaying serous crust laced with neutrophils.in other areas of the biopsy, more elongated mounds of parakeratosis are seen with scant subjacent spongiosis. a predominatly superficial perivascular lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate is present.
diagnosis..skin, mid abdomen, impetiginized spongiotic psoriasiform dermititis compatable with forms of eczema, tinea or possible impetiginized guttate parapsoriasis.
comment..a PAS stain with diastase has been ordered to exclude tinea..

that was the first one...here the second one.4/17/2010
chest, ulceration with mixed dermal inflammation with eosinophils.
comment..the features are sugestive of a bite reaction.deeper levels and a PAS stain with diastase may be of value.biopsy of a non-ulcerated area may also be of value if clinically indicated..

whew, well, there it is...in between the two biosys is when i went to the emergency room and they said 'best they can tell, its morgellons'.. but those are my biosy results, i dont want them more than once, haha, maybe ishould have put it somewhere else..
soo, im bug food.. apperently...
