Interview with schistosomiasis expert Conor Caffrey

[@skwunkell3780]

I can't even get a doctor to entertain the possibility that I may be infected with these. I have even shown them pictures of them that I collected from my own stool and blood samples and photographed through my microscope and have only been met with accusations of drug abuse and parasitic delusions. I fear that I will suffer permanent consequences if unable to receive treatment soon. Desperately searching for answers.

[@angelacatherinefarina2049]

where do you believe you picked up your infection? I stepped on a snail in Visalia California. There are several reasons I believe what I picked up is specifically Schistosomiasis mansoni. I am struggling with diagnosis too.

[@aaronlenore6418]

Same here

[@maryannebryce5210]

I see Dr. Heather Sandison a naturopathic.

[@sallyfletcher8651]

I too believe I have this illness. I appear to be quite allergic to these I have had pneumonia 4x in last 9 months, chronic body aches pains, multiple worms surface in skin after several months of infection, bladder issues that coincide with timing of illness, nasal/sinus infections, cyclic nausea vomiting. It has been such an ordeal getting western medicine to even entertain a parasitic illness let alone this one. I have had a positive test from Parasitology lab (which I was able to order) but up until this week have not been able to get a doctor to order urine OVA and Parasite, they would only look in Stool. I pray I find some answers soon , I am truly worried another round of pneumonia may be too much for me, the last one two weeks ago came on so fast and so strong I felt like I was drowning in phlegm.

[@millennialtrillionaire8556]

Ive had this for 25 years since I was a child. Never been out of the US.

[@skwunkell3780]

I wonder how many of us are unknowingly infected with these. I notice that chronic fatigue is an issue that many people struggle with and can't help but to think these worms are the cause.

[@treefrog123a]

@@skwunkell3780 yes also lupis which its affect upon immune sys.

[@CmonNowTellme]

How did you find it out and what meds idcyou are take?. Thanks.

[@emmanuelnyamekye5865]

Hmm

[@jenrandomstuff2053]

I got this 😔😔😔 worms show themselves when you apply electricity on your skin. If you have some sort of electrotherapy device, theyll go up your skin and show themselves 😔😔😔 I've seen multiple under my eye... that's why sometimes I feel squiggling near my eye. This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me I feel.

[@Lucius_murrius]

How did you get may i ask

[@connorcallanan7546]

hello! i stumbled upon your video. I live in the US but spent 5 months in Africa about a year and a half ago. I have been suffering for months now, and have admitted myself to hospital 4 times. No one can figure out what is wrong with me. As of two nights ago I now believe I may be suffering from this. Would love to ask you some questions. Any help could make a world of difference. Thank you!

[@albertbas2837]

HI Connor, were you successful in treating Shistosomas?

[@kellyschoenherr-gram1055]

I seem to have this chronically. I lived in Africa for years but now in the US. No doctor here seem to have heard of it. I don't know what to do one dose of Prazi has not stopped it.

[@MM-is7hq]

Me too I took praziquantel twice no complete relief

[@angelacatherinefarina2049]

What dose of Praziquantel did you take. Brazil offers a stronger dose that showed less reinfection occurrence. I hope to take that dose.

[@Bambina336]

Based on what I learned that medication only kills adult worms so you will always have to repeat it because the new ones come out of eggs. I'm pretty sure I have this too but haven't even talked to any doctors yet. I found two things in my toilet after peeing and they look like adult worms. Scared the life out of me.

[@worldpeace786]

I've heard artemesia is very effective. I've got a bunch so going to try this for a week or two to try clear mine. My bloods keep coming back as positive for bhilarzia.

[@mizzmention8555]

​@worldpeace786 hi did the artemisia work, are you well?
