    Thanks for sharing your story, Melody. That 38" parasite certainly sounds very creepy indeed. I've never experienced having parasites, but I know they are a thing. Take care now, and all the best to everyone on their journey to full health. 💛🧡💜

    Hearing this covid hospital experience brought back some traumatic memories as my experience was very similar. The coughing. OMG! I genuinely thought I would die if I tried to turn over in bed, it left you gasping for your life. I was so weak, I could barely stand let alone walk to the toilet that was right next to my bed. And trying to eat with a mask on, resting in between every bite, so relate! MY o2 stats were 70 percent when the paramedics came. They told me to make my final arrangements as they didn't think I would make it. I was also told in A and E that I would be intubated and taken straight to intensive care. However, when doing an arterial oxygen test, they said I was a fraction over the limit and they would try me on full oxygen, but if there was no improvement, I would be intubated. I also had the crazy heart rate, intense pain, shaking like I was convulsing, sweating, being so weak I couldn't walk and on oxygen when at home. I also had no one to care for me. It was very very difficult being on my own and I was just getting worse at home, not better. What turned this around into an 80 percent recovery for me was following Dr Brooke Goldners green smoothie protocol. It was like a miracle. Truly. I did well for a few months until a kidney infection and that's when me/cfs signs began. I had a severe relapse and ended up bed bound over night. I am now on my way to making a recovery again thankfully. I am house bound but nearly ready to start a few trips out. I generally feel a lot better and I've achieved this through general nervous system work, moving with joy when I can, resting when I can't and lots of green smoothies with flaxseed.

    Gone to many doctors the last 6 months infection after infection. Your story resonated with me especially when you said you cried as I have been dismissed many times and been told I look fine and cried myself and sat in my car not knowing where to turn. They say I think you have long covid but what does that actually mean right and where do we go when there is no treatment by the doctors, or no clinics. Each time having to get a referral for a different doctor which takes about 5 weeks to get an appointment, physically and mentally tired.

    Great hearing from Melody. Just a great perspective on her journey to health. Maybe not all would agree with you but that is their issues. Don’t allow the nattering nabobs of negativism predominate this phenomenal education of hidden infections. I also your authenticity and your transparency as you continue on this path of healing.

    Truly, not being on preventatives for parasites I’m not testing for parasites on a regular basis starting out from the beginning of our lives is such a negligence in our medical community. They are against that we wouldn’t have parasites it’s just beyond the beyond. At one point, a critical component of my recovery was discovering I had had a long-standing parasite Giardia. Treated. Big step up in recovery after years of Chemical sensitivity and food and tolerance not being able to retain weight at all. No one said anything about potentially being able to pass this on to your children during pregnancy etc. oh my. I became very ill about six months prior to getting Covid. Felt like UTI’s recurrent antibiotic resistant. Felt like meningitis, maybe tic borne. Eventually hospitalized with covid yet presents still with UTI checking back a urologist neglected to inform I had tested positive for Klebsiella pneumonia. At the same timeframe we realized our new home the builder did not finish the electrical to the septic pump and we were experiencing septic fumes in the shower and septic overflow at night when running the dishwasher and didn’t realize and our home foundation downhill from the septic tanks at the back door had gone into the unsealed foundation and mold septic mold growing between the foundation and hardwood. We had to suddenly move and I was so incredibly ill. It’s been two and a half years. So sick. Can’t eat anything . But I wonder… did I pick up another parasite that wasn’t identified? I wouldn’t be surprised at all . I want to know don’t want to know. But I have felt there is such an underlying cause to the sensitivities. Yes I’ve done rain retaining DNRS and Gupta after the first parasite infection was resolved and an intensive infrared niacin protocol and got about 70% better. Then along came the monsoon of Klebsiella pneumonia septic fail, mold Covid, and I haven’t been able to recover even though I’m doing brain retraining protocols. My intestines and gut was destroyed. Antibiotics couldn’t seem to resolve the Klebsiella pneumonia. My system getting Stephens Johnson responses to even non sulfur antibiotics after an episode with a sulfur one. I need some reliable parasite diagnostics. Reliable and treatment my system can tolerate. The thought of the worms does give the heebie jeebies. Just want to heal . Thank you for sharing your story and forcing me to golden this potential road.

    Dr Brooke Goldner is a plant based Dr with an autoimmune protocol which has been shown to be effective many times. Her case studies have been published in medical journals, so there definitely are plant based autoimmune protocols that work. I had great success with her protocol and the comment below reflects that. I made it before watching all of the video. Also, how lovely that you have just started to learn to sew Melody! I hope you have many more creative and healthy years ahead of you!

    That is an unjustified reductionist view. Many people eat well, or at least not over their calorie threshold, but still gain weight or maintain a larger size due to inflammation, medications etc. It's not that simple for some people. This woman was diagnosed with Sjogren's, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. Those are all inflammatory conditions.

SSDI Recipient: March 2023 (though nothing in my labs showed Covid *as Jan. 2020 was too early for testing*) my xrays DID show arthritis, that & 2 years of seeking medical help, my judge granted my SSDI. Now, I'm going down the parasite rabbit hole! (No pun intended). SOMETHING IS DRIVING THE INFLAMMATION & CHRONIC FATIGUE. Great KZread Raelan & Melody. Thank You.
