Has anyone beat pinworm/threadworm after having them for a long time?
Posted , 113 users are following.
I've now had pinworms for about 5 months, they've migrated to my female parts, and I believe they are also in my nose and ears. They don't really itch anymore in my lower half, I keep those areas very clean -- BUT that incessant squirming is an ongoing nightmare. I'm 33 and single and really want to be dating, but I know as long as I have them I can't risk giving them to somebody else. It's a very depressing realization to know that I may never be able to have a boyfriend again or get married. I think my doctor believes me, but the internal diseases specialist he referred me to does not and told me I probably just have dry skin down there (dry skin that WRIGGLES? I don't think so). The samples I gave them of course had no eggs on them, I'm guessing it's because I am now being retroinfected, otherwise I really have no explanation.
What I want to know is -- has ANYBODY else who had them for many months (or years, or decades) been able to finally get rid of them??? How did you do it?? Here's what I have tried that has NOT worked:
MEDICINES: Reese's, Albenza, Vermox (high doses). Yeast infection cream mixed with garlic.
NATURAL REMEDIES: Diatomaceous earth (food grade - taken orally and also spread on maxi pads and vaginal wipes), garlic cloves and powder, vinegar, pumpkin seeds, clove & wormwood tincture. Garlic and vinegar douche. Eating mainly vegetarian foods.
PILLS: Garlic, zinc, wormwood, clove and black walnut.
I read that some mountain folk eat tobacco to get rid of them, but it makes you really sick. I am afraid to try it, but I feel like I better try absolutely everything. I just can't fathom living with these things potentially for the rest of my life

Have you tried MSM?? I have been dealing with pinworms for 5 years. Boy do I have a story to tell. I'm giving MSM a try thanks to Joey from this site. Today was day one of two tablespoons. I will continue to take it and let you know how it goes. Are you doing better?? I would love to communicate.
Best,
Chelsea

It sounds like Joey is onto something. Yes, MSM is sulfur. Parasites hate that. What it is suppose to do is create a barrier between your intestinal lining and the parasites. Parasites need to be able to cling onto you in order to obtain your nutrients and be able to live and reproduce. MSM is suppose to break that bond between the parasite and its host! I'm giving it a try, taking two tablespoon twice a day for a month straight. I will keep you updated if you would like and I know it is so frustrating when you feel like you've tried everything!! We have to keep fighting them though. Do not give up.

Hey have you had any luck with MSM? Or anything else? Have been suffering for 5 months, today finished a month of 400mg vermox daily & they didn't even stop for a day! My life feels on hold as I cannot live it as normal while this infection is going on every day. I'm starting to get anxiety stacks when I think this may go on for years and years - my marriage won't survive that!!!

How much tobacco do you ingest? Isn't nicotine deadly? Are you still alive and cured? Where can I find more info on using tobacco for parasites? I had also heard of doing enemas with loose tobacco and milk, does anyone know about that? Would American Spirit Organic tobacco work just as well? many thanks!
