a certain level, but the reality is, who knows your body better than you? Since birth you’re the owner and have experiences on a daily basis. You may not have the medical jargon to articulate a problem or know all that there is, but you have the comprehension to know when something isn’t right. The prime focus should be on your described symptoms rather than assuming that you don’t know what you’re talking about or what is “normal” because a textbook dictates it.

What might be “normal” for one person might not be normal for you. For instance, all of my life I’ve had low blood pressure with rate at 100/65-70. Several years ago, I started experiencing 110/70 which wasn’t alarming, but noted by me; on several occasions it crept up to 120/70 which was alarming to me. For many people, my high rate is within normal range, but for me it wasn’t! Even when I pointed out my high range to my new practitioner, it was easily dismissed as “nothing to worry about”. My inclination was that something wasn’t right and decided to look into the matter deeper.

4.   A serious problem that needs to be addressed is communication. When visiting a practitioner you might feel intimidated, feel rushed, and may not tell all to avoid criticism. Additionally, you may not ask enough questions from your practitioner that could allow for better communication. I feel this is the fault of the practitioner who hasn’t allowed an open exchange to take place in their office. If there was more open-mindedness from practitioners who were motivated in finding the real cause of your problems true healing might occur. Thus, practitioners could return to true doctoring; they initially got into the profession to make a difference in someone’s life.

5.   Misdiagnoses, unfortunately, are an occurrence for nematode/trematode/protozoan and mold/fungus infections. These two main menacing categories are rarely considered, but need to be, because mold spores and parasite eggs are easily transmittable with high exposure -- see Comparing Molds/Fungi with Other Parasites. General Practitioners are the first doctors that people consider for help; in turn, it is the GP who makes referrals for patients to see a specialist. If practitioners had better training in the area of microbiology or parasitology they would understand some things along with recognizing some of the signs that could be associated with infections/infestations within the microbial world. Far too often, a menacing parasite or mold infection problem is overlooked because they mimic other diseases.

When an infection is caught early enough and properly treated, it wouldn’t be allowed to turn into an overgrowth factor of an infestation. The method for detection needs to be greatly improved – too often wrong diagnostic tools(3) are used or practitioners depend heavily on labs that aren’t stringent enough to catch a plethora of microbes –- What Happened to Proven Science? If more labs or better diagnostic tools were established with an emphasis of truly examining a cause for ill-health, it would save a lot of wasted time, lives, money, and disappointment for the practitioner and you.

6.   Lastly, due to the fact that most general practitioners have little training in how to properly eradicate the problem of a nematode or mold infection, treatment protocols can cause complications if the wrong prescription and/or dosage are given. Different treatments maybe required for specific parasites; not all broad spectrum protocols work, including some herbal preparations. In order to treat these problems your practitioner needs to know which parasites (nematodes or molds) are causing problems. Thus, this takes us back to the beginning by looking at practitioners’ education and training.

There are some doctors who can help but you need to find the right ones that are willing to work with you and who are motivated enough. The one thing that is sorely needed are more parasitologists or microbiologists available within medicine who will work with practitioners on the problem of nematode and mold infections. In the future, this could become an area of growth for a subspecialty practice.

The next article will include excerpts with helpful questions and answers from a forum exchange of mine. It may help in your search for a better practitioner or better communication, and tips on what you need to know as you work with your practitioner.

“Lockhart says he also had seizures and saw 10 different doctors, and had six CAT scans.
"That's what was most frightening was all these tests were coming back normal, yet I knew something very wrong was happening with me. It's a nightmare, a nightmare that never goes away, and it's gotta, I hope it goes away sometime."

Redwood City immunologist Vincent Marinkovich says he discovered that Lockhart, and the Meniketti's, suffer the same problem.

"These are very high antibody levels, indicating you've been exposed to very high levels of mold somewhere in your environment," says Marinkovich.”
