Hi @florence80,
Good question, I need to adjust my post to add this information: TCM stands for Traditional Chinese Medicine about which I have a very high opinion. The traditional TCM consists of 5 pillars of which mostly the acupunture is widely known, but to which I don't respond very well. Therefore, I chose to go with the "Chinese herbs" treatment, which is basically tee or herbal "pills" in a compressed, natural form. The TCM practitioner noted that my reaction to these herbs was beyond normal (way too responsive and too strong) and they know that this usually happens when there is a parasite infection inside, as they somehow seem to feed on the herbs. You can search for Dr. Doane (a famous US TCM practitioner) on parasites or for an article on "empirical anti-parasitc treatment in returning travellers with persistent abdominal symptoms" in the Journal of Travel Medicine. My doctor says they treat those parasite infections only empirically as the stool tests frequently come back false negatively. So many people who have been told they are ok, were in fact not. I can also definitely confirm your observation that gluten-free and healthy eating helps a lot, as those parasites feed on all the crab we eat so you may also want to check for an alkaline nutrition. I am a little more down the road with the antibiotics now and can definitely confirm that the shaking is gone, it is merely a slight tingling that is left once in a while and I still have some more to go so the antibiotics really do a great job and I am so grateful for this actually easy treatment but a little upset that research, knowledge and especially diagnosis is hardly available. I am not sure where you're based, but I went on google and searched for a good TCM practitioner by checking for a 5 star rating, read the comments and then tested it kinesiologically whether he is the right fit for me. Kinesiology is always very reliable to me and I test most important things with my Osteopath, too. That test confirmed that (at least for me) the internal shaking was related to the parasite infection and even my TCM practitioner has never heard of it so far. And with regards to your remark about not being able to lose weight. I read on a German site on "parasite infection symptoms" from an alternative practitioner that the inability to lose / gain weight can also be a symptom of a parasite infection.
