Thanks a lot. I have enjoyed hearing about the parasites. You have a very important job paid or not please keep it up.

[@gerry_n1312]

I had this a year ago, worst 14 days of my life. Got misdiagnosed by the hospital twice in those 2 weeks. Watched “monsters inside me” and always been paranoid of parasitic infections, and I knew if was something like this. Doctors told me I just had a potassium deficiency. Lost about 40lbs in those weeks and couldn’t eat at all. The pain was really bad in the gut and kidneys.

i had this 5 days ago, now very sick: headache, can't walk without getting light headed, slowly recovering, it's the worst thing i've ever had so far and I've had bad flu, covid twice, etc

[@Redhawkeye]

How did you identify it was crypto?

[@gerry_n1312]

@@Redhawkeye I went to the emergency room, i also had no idea about this parasite either. I deceived my symptoms to the doctors the second visit again. They then decided to test a stool sample and found traces of it there

[@michellep37]

My Himalayan’s were just diagnosed with this . I’m devastated .

[@cmackscott761]

Great presentation. A month ago I had cryptosporidosis and enteropathogenic e coli. Flagyl and nitazoxanide were prescribed. Thought I was going to die because there was a great deal of blood loss, dehydration, and malnutrition. It's my understanding that some of these pathogens release toxins. After treatment, I have felt like a different person in a good way.

[@theresageiger584]

Are you better now

[@cmackscott761]

@@theresageiger584 Thanks for asking, I feel back to normal now.

[@army13p23]

My son was diagnosed a few days ago. Now his mother and I are showing symptoms. I really hope this ends soon

Salut tu as eu la diarrhée pendamt combien de temps? Je suis en france aussi...

Hey, the intro sounded like cod zombies 😂

[@NickRamsey28]

Just tested positive for this today and I have to say it’s awful. DR would not prescribe anything unless you’ve have if for at least two weeks.

[@romainpoirey5923]

@nickramsey28 hi nick where do you live? I have been diagnosticed for crypto as well 3 weeks ago and got a huge diarrhea wirh some pains in my abdomen as well. But no fever. Now a doc will check inside my body to check how is my intestin (chron) maybe...

Thank you for making these programs with parasites. I have a parasite but I live in Denmark 🇩🇰 and no doctor believes that a person can have a parasite, unless you have been in Africa. For 6 yers I have tried to get help, but instead I got a diagnosis psychotic. And now I got treated so respecters and we have a computer system that makes my doctor journal open for all kinds of doctors and hospital. So if I try a new doctor then I already Get seen as a psychotic person, and then they don’t take me seriously and don’t check me for possible parasites. My mother have it also now. She got it from me cleaning my house. She is 90 yers old and she, like myself said I don’t want to live like this. We have got our appartement sprayed 5/6/7 times, furniture, the car, everything have been sprayed of professional people and it is still everywhere. Thy go under things, into things, in my cigarettes, and under our skin. I can’t se the animal, it is so small that even with a glass there makes me se in a bigger scale, it looks like dirt or like white, Braun , green silicone. Dont NOW what to do. [e-mail]
