Been studying worm parasites for the last seven months. Worms occupying areas other than the intestines - such as the extremities or upper body - around the neck and face - will respond to the metabolism of food after 10 to 20 minutes. The body starts releasing simple sugars into the blood stream which the worms feed on primarily.
Most people don't know about them because the north american variety are asymptomatic in a direct sense. Indirectly they cause quite a wide range of pains and patholegy.
I decided to test if I had worms by taking natural herbals that irritate or kill them. A few days after I started feeling spasms and wrigglings in different parts of my body. I discovered I had worms all over. I took an extra does of Gentian (bitter Root) and I had wrigglings around my neck and started to get pressure headaches on either side of my head around the temples. I also heard interal ticking sounds as if something was touching a tackie area inside. It was scary and I (one who never gets headaches) had a severe migrain for a half hour. I haven't had one since. I haven't repeated the high doseage before.
I experience a mild edema of the legs and since then, everytime I eat - 10 to 20 minutes later I get a rything sensation in my calves.
A friend introduced me to a TENS machine two nights ago. I put it on my calve and at a setting so high one could see the flexing of the muscle because it was so fast. But when I turned up the amplitude some started wrything with quite a lot of force in my calf perpindicular to the mucscle and also alon the muscle. It was obviously a worm of some sort. A big one.
7 months ago I never though I had worms. Now I know and a lot of the ailments I chronicly had I am rethinking. The night of the migrain just indicate the extent of the parasitic load I had. I hope this gives new direction of though and solutions to the chronic headache sufferers.
Thank you
