Amazing and effective!
This stuff is amazing. I discovered that I have lots of "high risk" behavior for parasites and that 90% of us have them and don't know it. I eat lots of raw produce and love my meat really rare. I eat radishes/carrots, etc., out of our garden after just brushing off most of the dirt. I love to kiss our three dogs on the muzzles frequently and lay on the floor with them, using them or their dog beds for pillows, walk on the grass in bare feet, sit and lay in the grass in shorts and tank tops during summer. After what's coming out of me, I'm rethinking those behaviors.
Round one of the NOW product, I had some "die off" detox symptoms for the first few days even following the directions and was very constipated, which doesn't happen to me. So I followed Organic Olivia's advice to take psyllium and bentonite clay (with a two hour buffer before or after meals, meds or supplements since the clay removes nutrients as well as toxins). For weeks I had the "white rice poop" that others speak of (though I don't eat rice) that continued long after my first two week course of treatment.
I started my second round several weeks after the first after getting an unexpected flu (last I had the flu was 1999) and coughing up two roundworms after a severe coughing fit that left me gagging!! (see photo) After googling "coughing up worms" and being reassured this was not a freak occurrence, I realized I needed to start my second round immediately. CDC explains that the parasites' eggs are ingested and live in the GI tract, then get into the blood stream where they end up in the lungs, are coughed up, usually swallowed and the cycle is repeated. Nice...
During the second round, I didn't use the psyllium/bentonite clay route. I used a product I already had but had never used called EZ Cleanse (Butternut bark, ginger root, senna leaf, black walnut hull, cascara sagrada bark, citrus pectin, grapefruit, dicalcium phosphate, digestive enzymes, fructooligosaccharides, gum arabic, cayenne fruit, Bacillus coagulans, milk thistle seed, rhubarb root, fennel seed, buckthorn bark, psyllium husk, cranberry fruit and licorice root.) It does contain walnut hull, so be careful! But I much prefer this method to the psyllium/clay as it doesn't require such careful timing and kept things moving quickly. The freaky thing this second round is that every morning my sinuses are filled with a thick chunky substance that is not mucus, but is within the mucus, and appears to be segments of worms. And I've noticed that the severe itching in my inner ears has stopped. My sugar cravings have gone away as well.
The other funny thing is I almost never get sick, grew up and still live in a rural, sparsely populated area, but magically developed "chronic asthma" and "chronic rhinitis" several years ago that is all year round and requires a daily inhaler and steroids/antihistamine nasal spray. I've never had bronchitis, pneumonia or any respiratory infection, but suddenly developed asthma and rhinitis?? And loss my sense of taste and smell?? Given what's coming out of me and where, I'm now wondering if my respiratory system is freaking out trying to rid itself of parasites.
