Question
I am suffering a parasitic infection in my gut. And I think I know how I contracted them. About 5 years ago I was treating 10 new born puppies with a skin infection. I was handling these dogs constantly. Including on my kitchen counter. My symptoms are cramps & constant discomfort. Like a rash in my intestines. I get cronic fatigue, heartburn, headaches. I generaly feel like crap most of the time. This has been constant for the past 3 years. I have had all the regular tests (CT scan, colin endoscopy, capsule endoscopy,ultrasound,crones disease,ect...) all negative. I have had stool test but with no results. I think what I have may be unusual and hard to detect. I have been taking natural parasite remedy's and I have been feeling slightly better. At one point my weight went down from 185 to 120. It is back up to 147 now. but it is a struggle to maintain that weight. I feel like my condition is out of control, and I am swimming against the tide. I need EXPERT advise and treatment. HELP

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
If you feel you have a parasitic infection from the pppies that you handled although you state you have a normal negative stool samples in the past I would recommend that you find a laboratory in California that specializes in looking for parasitic infections. They are often difficult to find in the stool and you may need a lab that specializes in parasites. The most common zoonotic infections, that is parasitic infections from animals to humans, from cats and dogs are ascarids and hookworms. Several tapeworms of dogs and cats can also cause zoonotic infections.

Dr., you state the obvious. The stool test that I have done WERE done at a lab that specilizes in parasites. However, the check list that they refer to is of the most common parasites in humans. Like I said, I need EXPERT advise. I was hoping you could refer me somewhere?

That's quite an EGO you got there doctor. But here are the facts. Most doctors in the U.S. are SHIT. More people die every year from the incompetence of so-called doctors than from automobile accidents. This guy likes to tout his years of experience as some kind of proof that he knows what he is talking about. In the past 3 years I have encountered 20 of his collegues. They all bragged the same way. And here I sit today no better off than I was 3 years ago. Oh sure, They are hero's with the easy stuff. But put a challange in front of one of these guys and they FOLD. You can't even get these guys to talk to each other. The only results I have received is the loss of approx. $25,000 out of pocket (in doctors fee's) & my health care to get cancelled over this situation. So now I am a 52 year old man with NO HEALTH COVERAGE and no SAVINGS. Who will help me now, doctor? Don't be fooled. Doctors contribute EQUALLLY to the disasterous heath care system in this country. They are partners with the big insurance & pharmaceutical companys that have their heels on our necks. Hopefully these things will change with the new administration, and your free ride will soon be OVER. In the mean time why don't you go buy your wife some nice jewelery while I direct my question to the non professional community.
