Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hi- No one else with any professional knowledge has answered this question (yet), so I thought I'd chime in. It seems suspicious to me that someone would claim that they can detect parasites through a saliva test. I'm assuming that we're talking about intestinal-type parasites, here. I'm not sure how, or if, parasites living in the intestines could be detected in something like saliva. That being said, my friend had a whole medical work-up done on her son (he's autistic), and most of the things you mentioned were checked for, including checking for parasites. The test for parasites was done through a fecal sample. All of the tests were done through the mail- she'd collect the samples, send them off to assorted labs, and the results were sent to his autism-knowledgeable doctor for interpretation. I'm only saying all of this because yes, tests do exist for the things you're talking about, but they were things like hair samples, urine samples, fecal samples, and yes, saliva samples. I'm hoping someone with some professional knowledge can give you more info! Hope this helps, at any rate. , " iluvk5 " <skerns wrote: > > Sorry!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I heard that some people take food-grade diatomaceous(sp?)earth to get rid of internal parasites. It can be found at the health food store. I have not tried it, though. To me, something that is supposed to kill bugs being put into my body is weird, even though it is safe...Don't know if it would help, but it might be worth looking into. , " jennigarverick " <jennigarverick wrote: > > Hi- > No one else with any professional knowledge has answered this question > (yet), so I thought I'd chime in. > It seems suspicious to me that someone would claim that they can detect > parasites through a saliva test.
