Carnivore Diet and Lugol’s Iodine for Schistosomiasis
We’ve worked with more than one client with schistosomiasis. Iodine supplementation with Lugol’s iodine was extremely important for overcoming his infection as well as vitamin B17 / amygdalin. Our clients have generally had success at overcoming schistosomiasis by following a carnivore diet as well.Artemisia annua for Schistosomiasis
Artemisia annua, also known as Wormwood or Qing Hao (in Traditional Chinese Medicine) was used by one client who had noteworthy success after years of not having any success at treating his disease. He administered 5 grams of Artemisia annua in 2.5 gram doses twice daily as a tea at first but later switched to capsules that contained Artemisia annua instead.Click here to buy Artemisia annua / Qing Hao.
Myrrh Essential Oil and Guggul for Schistosomiasis
Myrrh essential oil, myrrh extract, or myrrh in the form of Guggul, an Ayurvedic remedy, has been successfully used to cure schistosomiasis that’s resistant to praziquantel. Myrrh is an oleo-gum resin from the plant known as Commiphora molmol and it is very effective at treating schistosomiasis. It is administered at a dose of 10 mg per kilogram of the patient’s body weight and after just 3 days of treatment it has a cure rate of 91.7%. The 8.3% of patients who do not respond within the first 3 days of treatment can be given another 10 mg per kilogram course of treatment for six days. These patients, according to studies, should have a cure rate, in turn, of 76.5%. In other words, the vast majority of patients who work with myrrh or Guggul should respond to treatment within about a week. Note that myrrh is a substance that assists the body in its use of iodine, so we recommend that patients always include Lugol’s iodine as a part of their treatment protocol in addition to dosing with myrrh or Guggul according to the dose recommended here.Click here to buy Myrrh Extract.
