1. Are we subject to parasitic infection in the United States?

 

Yes, because of modern transportation systems, labor movements and

foreign travel. All these factors contribute to an increased risk of

parasitic infections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What are the advantages/risks of using antibiotics vs. herbal remedies?

 

Antibiotics depress the immune system while herbal products are more

friendly to the body's immune system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Could hair loss, weight loss or memory loss be related to parasitic

infections?

 

Definitely related. Parasite induced variables include their toxic,

and metabolic byproducts and chemicals affecting these and immune

related imbalances.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Could intestinal parasites cause diarrhea, constipation, irritable

bowel, cramps, gas, bloating, bleeding, itching, poor digestion, or

malabsorption?

 

That is what intestinal parasites normally do, by causing direct

injury to healthy tissue or by interfering with normal intestinal

function.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Could intestinal parasites cause fatigue, allergies, muslce/joint

pain, skin abnormalities/sores/dermatitis, headache, insomnia, nausea,

dry cough, or lymph bockkage?

 

This is often the case. Toxic byproducts of the parasites can induce

any of these symptoms which may be related to cell-mediated immune

dysfunctions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Does the water in the US have parasites?

 

About one-fourth of domestic households carry parasites in their

water. About one-fifth of U.S. households supplied by surface water

treatment plants will introduce such parasites as Giardia and

Cryptosporidium in tap water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Can pets carry/transmit human parasites?

 

Yes. Certain pets (particularly dogs and cats) carry intermediate

stages of some tapeworm parasites that infect humans as adults upon

close (intimate) contact, such as kissing or licking. Pets may also be

infested with arthopod ecto-parasites (mites, fleas, ticks, etc.) that

may cause injury directly or by transmitting pathogens of diseases

infecting them to humans. At PCI we also test for pet and other

animal parasites using the same kit and procedures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Could antibiotics taken for other reasons affect parasites infections ?

 

They usually do in all ages because they compromise the immune system

as well as the balance of the intestinal flora by killing off the

good bacteria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Could balanced emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical status

help fight parasites?

 

These variables are usually interrelated. There appears to be a

definate correlation between the physical, mental, and emotional

levels of organization in the context of healing modalities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. How can you verify that your feeling of being parasitized reflects

reality?

 

You can verify this feeling of parasitic infection in your body by

sending specimens for objective testing at the PCI. You may initiate

this yourself or by going through your health care practitioner (MD,

ND, DC, etc.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

11. Can I get tested for parasites at PCI?

 

Yes. Anyone from anywhere in the world can be tested for parasites

through our mailable kit where you collect the specimen. It will

normally take 2 to 5 working days from the time we receive the

specimen to get the results back. Anyone can send a specimen to be

tested but results need to be sent to a health care professional, such

as physicians, chiropractors, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. How do I obtain this mailable kit and get tested?

 

You may order the PCI collection and transport kit by calling the

Parasitology Center, Inc. Kit Shop at (866) 547-2522 or (480)

219-6229. After receiving the kit, open it and make sure everything is

there. The kit includes 2 specimen collecting containers, 2 vials, an

address label, a list of instructions, and a requisition form. Please

read the instructions carefully to properly prepare for collecting 2

separate stool specimens on 2 separate days at least 1-2 days apart.

The fixative is good for a few months. Please fill out the Requisition

Form completely and mail back with the specimen vials after authorization.

 

 

 

 

 

 

13. How much does the test cost and how to proceed?

 

Mailable kits for individual clients cost approximately $19.00 or

$22.00 plus shipping and handling. The laboratory charge is $100.00

for one comprehensive stool analysis and $80.00 for each of blood,

biopsy, skin, or worm (whole or part) or related specimens. Please

preserve and package the specimens properly, fill out the Requisition

Form completely and enclose a check for the proper amount when you

mail your specimens. If your doctor has a contract agreement with PCI

then you can pay your doctor for our charges directly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

14. How soon will I get the test results back?

 

Test results will be faxed to your referring practitioner (who you

indicated on the Requisition Form) 2 to 5 working days from time of

receipt of specimens in the laboratory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15. What else does the PCI test for?

 

PCI is the only facility in the USA working on the Neuro-cutaneous

Syndrome (NCS) ; a new disorder discovered by Dr. Amin in 2001.

Patients, symptoms and records are evaluated, tests performed and

treatment protocols recommended

 

 

 

 

 

 

16. What causes NCS and can I get it?

 

NCS is a toxicity syndrome caused by toxic chemicals mostly in dental

material.

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. How do I know if I have it?

 

Pin-prick and related sensations and/or skin sores and irritations

with a history of faulty dental work are common symptoms as described

in the article: Causes and Management of Neurocutaneous Syndrome (NCS)

 

 

 

 

 

 

18. How can I get diagnosed and can it be treated?

 

Dr. Amin now sees NCS patients for proper diagnosis and management.

Call the PCI office at 480-767-2522, M-Th, 9:00-3:00 Arizona time for

details and orientation.
