ANECDOTE

Family Testing Matched Across Different Labs

  • Dr. Anne Hill tested three siblings with different labs and found the same infections across all kids.
  • She used that as evidence the labs can converge on a true clinical picture across family members.
ADVICE

Treat Parasites Found On Specialist Labs

  • Treat parasites detected by ParaWellness Research rather than dismissing them.
  • Consider nitazoxanide (Alinia) as a favored antiparasitic because it breaks biofilms and is generally safe.
ADVICE

Use GI-MAP To Gauge Dysbiosis Severity

  • Use GI-MAP to assess overall dysbiosis and gram-negative burdens as a roadmap for treatment intensity.
  • Treat many gram-negative overgrowths similarly with botanicals like berberine, garlic, and neem alongside probiotics.
