Dear TC

It could be that your friend has picked up some kind of a parasite.

Signs of Suspected PARASITE Infection
1.. Do you experience itching nasal area, anus, or ears at any time?
2.. Do you crave sweets, greasy fried foods, or both?
3.. Do you eat two or three meals a day, and have less than two bowel movements a day?
4.. Do you find yourself getting up in the middle of the night to get something to munch on like sweets or etc?
In any case and especially if any of above sign are present, I would recommend your friend as a FULL parasite check.

Parasitology

Intestinal parasites are a common problem around the world.

In the U.S., the principle intestinal parasites are Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

In developing countries, these parasites and others such as Entamoeba histolytica are major healthcare problems.

If these parasites are not accurately diagnosed, the patient may die from the infection or it may develop into a debilitating chronic intestinal infection. It is important that an accurate diagnosis be established. The overuse of antibiotics is one of the factors resulting in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms. Therefore, it is important to use a test that is both sensitive and specific.

TechLab offers ELISAs for common intestinal parasites. Included are our GIARDIA TEST and CRYPTOSPORIDIUM TEST. These are monoclonal antibody-based microwell ELISAs for detecting cyst-associated proteins produced by these parasites. We also offer the ENTAMOEBA TEST and the E. HISTOLYTICA II. Both of these tests detect the lectin of this protozoan parasite. The lectin is the glycosylated protein that allows the trophozoite stage of the parasite to bind to our intestine. The ENTAMOEBA TEST is specific for E. histolytica and E. dispar, a close relative of E. histolytica but one which does not cause disease. The E. HISTOLYTICA II, our newest parasite test, is the only test available that specifically distinguishes patients infected with E. histolytica, the cause of amebic dysentery and amebic liver abscess, from those infected with E. dispar.

I attended a lecture last year by Sheilagh Creasy where she was advising on in depth symptoms associated with parasites and interestingly enough they cause not only physical but also mental and emotional symptoms sufficient to indicate a homoeopathic remedy.

Good luck & Rgds

Dear Friends

I just met up with an ex-colleague for lunch today.
She has lost so much weight over the past two years.
She has undergone a number of tests at the local hospitals
So far, the doctors has no clues as to what's wrong. She is eating well
and functioning as per normal. The only symptoms is weight loss.

According to her, she started to lose weight after a holiday to Turkey.abt 2 yrs ago.
I suspect she have contracted some diseases while overseas.
Has anyone read about or treat similar cases?

warmly yours,
TC

one of the modalities that i have used is biofeedback. there is a holistic
nutritionist in my area that uses this for diagnosis and treatment. it
sounds a bit outlandish but did work very well with me. she uses a
computer w/program and hooks you up to electrical feeds, much like
an electrocardiagram. the program can do readings of your body on
many different things, including parasites. the biofeedback process
also sends specific energy back into the body to remove/kill them.
and then of course there are nutritional supplements chosen to
provide the proper nourishment to establish proper balance, etc.

i dont know where you are located, but you might seek out someone
who can do this kind of body read.

Soroush & Tanya,

thks for the info. I am staying in Singapore. Did anyone know of a healer in Singapore
who can do what Tanya described in her email?

gratefully yours,
TC

Does anyone know what remedies can assist in weightloss?

Thanks

Yes. Take the case. If weight/food are issues, factor them into the case.
A good constitutional will help balance out cravings as well as help deal
with the underlying causes of the diet issues.

Also explore possible issues of "maintaining causes" in the form of foods which the person ought to simply avoid. Parts of today's food chain are highly unnatural, and some people simply don't assimilate them. E.g. today's wheat has vastly more gluten than it did even a few… years? decades? not sure -- not too long ago.

A significant number of people do not tolerate today's hybridized wheat well. Personally, my automatic "set point" is about 50 pounds lower from making no change other than avoiding wheat! Well, and some exercise too, but that becomes a lot easier when there is 50 pounds less of it to haul around.

For me, wheat would be a maintaining cause, and I have learned that my situation is not all that uncommon. (For some people wheat is no problem; got to individualize.)

Soy, corn and dairy are other common allergens, again apparently related to agricultural manipulation which has changed their nutritional profiles.

(And beyond that yes, as Tanya says -- a good overall homeopathic treatment will help to balance it all out.)

I would add Shannon that many processed foods are designed to increase cravings and become addictive.
But a good constitutional remedy will help center the body to make more nutritional choices. I can
personally attest to this as over the years many of my cravings disappeared and they were not particularly
central to the issues I was working on.
