Anyone tried PAREX (antiparasitic/antibacterial)?

My naturopath who is very well known in the area and has people coming to him from other states, wants to put me on the paleo diet first, then do a course of parex, then take a probiotic to repopulate the gut after the parex. He also says he uses a herb called polypondium to shift the immune system towards a th2 state.
He has a protocol basically, and sounds like he knows what he doing. But i've grown skeptical of naturopaths and other practitiioners due to previous experiences.

Ideally i would have wanted to do the metametrix stool test first, but i need to come off the natural antibiotics in order to do it and i cannot risk this now.

This naturopath is expensive as hell, so i'd like to know if anybody has tried this protocol or parex, and what were your results?

Don't really want to comment one way or the other but merely state that anyone, particularly a professional, with a "protocol" sounds like they know what they are doing. When it comes down to it, all of our GI's have a "protocol". Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Unless this naturopath has a proven track record of curing everyone he sees with UC, which I doubt, he's probably no different. It might work sometimes but probably most of the time it doesn't. It's a roll of the dice and your money. People do win the lottery but more people lose than win.

Hi Conquer,

Parex has done me no harm. Im doing great So I'd say it's having a positive impact. If you have a strep overgrowth like me then you made need a product like kirkmans biofilm defense taken an hour before the Parex for best effect.

And yes I will probably get a follow up fecal bacteria profile done. Mine was done by Bioscreen out of university of Melbourne in Australia.
How much does your Naturopath charge? Mine was $100 (nzd) per session via Skype. If yours is much higher then I could provide details for you?

Hmm melbourne university? Well i should know abt that lol as im in melbourne. Are they as reliable and comprehensive as metametrix? Tbh metametrix is quite expensive at 495$ for the test.

My naturo has not actually asked me to do a metametrix, he treats everyone with uc the same (paleo, parex, probiotics etc). So actually yes i would very much like to be linked to a practitioner who actually treats based on the results of the test. Should i link an email address to my profile or are you happy posting the details here?
