Giardia and parasites
Dear Stephen,
I’ve been on some of your herbs for a while now, and although I feel better than my baseline, I’ve been plagued by continuous systemic and digestive problems. Now, thanks to a Metametrix Lab test I’m finding that have high levels of giardia, cryptosporidium and strongyloides (I was told the third one is not something to worry about), as well as high klebsiella levels. I’ve read that grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is good for giardia. Do you have any other suggestions specifically for giardia and cryptosporidium? My doc put me on an antiparasitic medication but because of my chemical sensitivites, I don’t know if I can tolerate it. Medications devastate me and I’m only on day 1. And yes, I can tell the difference between a chemical reaction and a die-off reaction. I’ve also read that cat’s claw and turmeric help with bile stimulation, however giardia THRIVES when bile is stimulated. Have you heard this? Thanks for offering this service to us!

Stephen’s response:
Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) will work for giardia, etc; I have used a number of herbs for these conditions: desert willow/chaparro amargosa combination tincture, goldenseal tincture, black walnut hull infusions among others. All work well. I have not heard about the bile stimulation and giardia but would not worry about it.
