In a state of desperation, I went to see all kinds of different doctors, healers and alternative practitioners. Based on the symptoms I reported, one doctor told me I must have intestinal parasites. I was willing to go along with any glimmer of hope. I thought If I have parasites, that can be treated, then my symptoms will go away—fantastic However, I wanted a second opinion. I went to a doctor in Albuquerque who took urine, stool and saliva samples and sent them to a doctor in New York. The lab report said there were eggs from two kinds of parasites found, hookworm and whipworm. The doctor gave me herbal potions made from God-knows-what he had gathered in the rain forest. These remedies made me worse, so I decided to go to the Tropical Disease Hospital in Tondon. It wasn t easy. [Pg.72]

Worldwide the most common cause of iron-deficiency anaemia is parasitic infestation (hookworm, amoebiasis, schistosomiasis and whipworm). [Pg.180]
