Can mites infect the urinary or digestive tract?
What to do about mites in urine and feces
In 2009, when I began answering email and phone calls from parasite afflicted individuals across the globe, I thought it strange that skin attackers like bird mites and springtails could end up in urine and feces. In addition to those who complained about ear, eye, nose and throat infestation, there were those who painted a picture of horrifying systemic infestation. "Could this be real?" I thought. Can organisms normally associated with infesting hair and skin make their way into the urinary and digestive tract?In many cases, frustration with general neighborhood doctors led victims to seek advice from infectious disease specialists and holistic practitioners.
Thanks, in part, to those who've sought testing from independent laboratories and shared results, I now know that skin mites can and become systemic, especially in cases where a longstanding illness has compromised the host's ability to fight infection. If you're firm in the belief that some type of parasite normally associated with skin has made its way into your urine or feces, go out of your way to send samples to an independent testing laboratory.

Speak to your doctor about prescriptions such as Praziquantel
In places like Australia and sub-Saharan Africa, specific drugs are commonly prescribed to battle parasites in the urinary tract. For example, Urinary Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by infection of people with the parasitic worm Schistosoma haematobium. These worms live in blood vessels around the infected person's bladder and the worm releases eggs which are released in the person's urine. The drug currently recommended for treatment is praziquantel, which can be given as a single dose. Other drugs such as metrifonate, artesunate, and mefloquine have also been evaluated.

Ask your holisitc doctor if one of the following treatments is right for you
The following information is not intended to replace regular visits to a doctor. Ivermectin is still the preferred mainstream oral treatment for parasites. Natural products exist as secondary options for those who've stopped responding to prescriptions and those who are sensitive to chemicals.
Oregano Oil
 |
Oregano oil is quite powerful. It should always be taken with food. Note that oregano oil may be hard on the liver with prolonged use. Consult your doctor if you intend to take oregano oil for an extended period.
|
MSM (Dietary Sulfur)
 |
Sulfur is not just a valuable skin mite treatment and home pesticide. It's widely used as a supplement to treat joint pain, inflammation, lung tumors and intestinal parasites. Holistic and traditional practitioners share a deep respect for MSM. Among other things, it scavenges free radicals, relieves allergies, helps the liver fight cholesterol buildup, controls stomach acidity, soothes ulcers and coats the intestinal tract so parasites have trouble clinging. It also increases body's ability to produce insulin.
|
Garlic, Turmeric, Ginger
 |
Garlic, turmeric and ginger remain popular in the hollistic treatment of internal parasites. This supplement combines the power of all three. Note that that garlic can thin the blood with prolonged use. It should not be taken with prescription blood thinners like Coumadin. Ask your doctor if a long term garlic regimen is right for you.
|
Wormwood
 |
Wormwood is a historically significant drug associated with killing internal parasites. It's still widely used to eliminate intestinal worms, especially roundworms and pinworms. Side effects are rare but may include insomnia, seizures, dizziness, tremors, muscle breakdown, kidney failure, vomiting, stomach cramps, urine retention, thirst, numbness of limbs and paralysis. If that sounds too much like a pharmaceutical commercial for your taste, choose another supplement.
|
Black Walnut
 |
Black Walnut is another historically significant substance associated with killing parasites.
|
Coconut Oil
 |
Coconut oil is still a highly publicized weapon in the war against bacteria, fungus and parasites. It may not be the best choice for lowering cholesterol, but it DOES help kill nasty microbes in the gut and digestive tract. Tip: Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to your ginger tea!
|
Colloidal Silver
 |
Colloidal silver is easily one of the most popular supplements used in the treatment of skin parasites, internal parasites and morgellons disease. Even amid reports that it could turn the skin blue, responsible users insist that this phenomenon is primarily associated with ultra high dosages taken over long periods of time. True enough! My greater concern is that silver can accumulate in the liver. It's not the kind of supplement that should be taken without consulting a physician who can monitor your tolerance. Nonetheless, silver deserves a place in any discussion of the top supplements used against parasites. If nothing else, it's a powerful topical treatment for scabies and unidentified mite cases that confuse doctors and torment patients. You don't have to swallow it to enjoy the benefits.
