There is a lot of data to evaluate.
Dr. Yu in St. Louis has been recommended by others; a few nay-sayers have felt he is not the best. Some say he is too expensive, others say he's saved their life. (numbers in the link)
Have you traveled prior to coming down with symptoms?
Certain
mosquitoes for instance have been known to convey a "wormlike" infection to those they bite.
However it appears that he'd do a proper diagnosis, and the symptoms could possibly be pointing to something very different than "parasites". What if it's not tapeworm, or something like liver-flukes, or threadworms, or
heartworm, or "
chrons disease" ?
One could take a shotgun approach with a self-diagnosis, but if one doesn't have the experience medically to know what to do with what, taking "treatments" blindly could be hazardous.
Experimenting on oneself may not be the smartest thing to do though. The reason being what happens when something goes 'wrong' where some pretty nasty toxins can be released.

If one wants to read up on parasites, there is a great forum about such, curezone.
Here is a link to curezone, the parasite treatment section:

Another thread is here:

specifically the dangers of making things "worse" )

During drug treatment, stop using herbal remedies, flushes, cleanses, DE, laxatives, colonics, MMS, nutrasilver, RIFE, zappers, & other OTC parasite products.
None of these methods cure parasite infections. They can be very toxic, destroy beneficial gut flora, & impair organs of the digestive system.
They cause parasites to scatter everywhere, carrying enteric pathogens with them. And they counteract & remove parasite drugs from your system.
Disseminated parasites & toxins throughout the body create a hyperinfection stage & severely impact the immune system. Then it's an uphill battle to eradicate them & repair damage done to the body.
There are numerous threads and posts about what can happen when the parasite treatment "goes wrong".. Such as a rapid detox reaction if it is in-fact parasite die-off. Life threatening even.
"Experimenting" with killing off parasites can be deadly is the point. How can you be certain that it is a parasitic tapeworm and not something else? Symptoms could be related to many conditions.

A search for "anthelmintic treatment for humans" is at this link:

RunningDeer mentioned a lot of good threads on PA. I suggest looking at the Cistus Incanus thread in Alternative Medicine subforum too (specifically the sections dealing with cistus being used to deal with inflammation, and various "infections" (or infestations)..
