Oh dear! I worked for the pharma company that got Cipro licensed, and was told that it was good for parasites. Sorry if I was misinformed, typical of pharma companies!
Glad I am retired even if financially broke!

Early in my ibs, I had flagyl prescribed for parasytes. It did not help.
Cheers.

Is it possible that the test is producing false positive results? Perhaps caused by something you ate before the test?

Yea - it is suspicious especially given the fact that you say you don't have the common symptoms. Are you taking any supplements that might interfer with the test results?

Which parasites are we talking here?
It won't hurt to have you water tested for sure.
Have you thought about a herbal remedy for getting rid of parasites?

what are the names of the parasites?
Are they worms? Bugs?
what kind of doctor diagnosed you?
Pets are sometimes a common source of parasites?

If you think you really do have parasites, you might try an herbal remedy. They don't kill off good bacteria like some of the drugs the doctors prescribe.
I did the parasite program on naturalhealthsupply.com. I didn't get any side effects.. just saw all the dead parasites in the toilet.
By the way, do you have any pets? Cats and dogs harbor parasites, even if they've been "treated" by the vet.
