My family member has been sick for 2 years with various symptoms. These symptoms including weight loss, limb tingling/ numbness, Nausea, passing of undigested food frequently throughout the day, fatigue and severe back and pelvis pain have all progressively worsened over the course of 2 years. She has recently done colonics and discovered different parasites/ worms in her intestines. Could these parasites/ worms be causing her to become so progressively sick? How do we treat the parasite/ worms that have been discovered?
