THAT has been in the back of my mind for YEARS now, as I work around animals and livestock, it always bugged me why humans were not routinely given the treatment as well. Thanks for sharing, it actually brings some peace of mind, finally.
Ivermectin was originally created for people in third world countries! Now it is given to animals as a deworming medication. Go figure!
In the U.S. one does not need to take this. The difference between the two countries.
@@scottrichardson8158- do you deworm your dog or cat routinely in the US? Because most vets recommend that you do so. Same parasites, same issue. You may or may not have an issue and even if you do, you might not really notice or might think it is from something else. I have known more than one person who lived in the US their entire lives but who discovered that the indigestion they were suffering from was actually some hitchhikers they had picked up somewhere along the way. Worms are not protozoa when it comes to how your body reacts to them. Our sanitation levels in the US are quite high but not perfect.
Your channel is so underrated.
Thanks. I appreciate that!
I have been in MX since 2009 and this is the first time I heard of this. Makes sense and I took the pill today.
Were you from Rio Rico AZ?
I remember in 1986 all the kids were given anti parasitics.
Great video with great info! Thanks for doing the research and letting us know more on this subject!
Thanks, Jose! Take care.
Awesome Information !
Thanks for sharing
Thank you, Paul. Another great, informative video! Although NOT a complainer of video intro loudness...I gotta say I love the new volume.
Haha, thanks.
Thank you!! I got very sick the last two times I visited Mexico, this makes me feel more comfortable eating the next time-hopefully soon! I’ll make a pharmacy my first stop.
Since it kills parasites instead of preventing them, maybe the pharmacy should be the LAST place you visit before you come home. Unless you think you brought parasites to Mexico from home.
Thank you for the information. We’ll start taking it straight away.
Grew up in Sonora..with a friend who is now a doctor…and both of her parents are doctors…I remember when she used to tell me…that she and her whole family would take this at least twice per year!…Thank you for sharing!❤️🇲🇽
More good info. I never considered this when I was traveling for months at a time through Mexico and Central America. I figured that the periodic Montezuma's episodes would purify me. I'll add this to my situational awareness.
Great video and information.
Thanks for sharing awareness.
Thanks!
Again, your post is perfectly timed as was just in conversation with a friend who commented that since we have been down in Mexico for an extended length of time, we should start taking a parasitic med twice a year. Thanks for giving more information regarding this topic.
Information that’s good to know. Thanks
Thank you for the tip! I’ll remember this when we make our move to Mexico.
As a fellow expat in Mexico who LOVES the medical care here, thank you! I am on my first dose of this now after weeks of symptoms! Wish me luck!
Migrant. Are you not a US citizen anymore? As Mexican we hate people that uses expad to refer themself as migrants.
Thanks for sharing...! We have been doing it for years, one after carnaval and then after baseball season!
Wow! I had no idea. I work in healthcare and, as far as I know, never seen any doctor or healthcare facility recommend this to anyone.
I must point out I live and work in the 🇺🇸.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful as I prepare to move back and live in my country 🇲🇽 ❤️
I picked up parasites on my first trip to Colombia, and fortunately, I was treated there. I had a coworker who traveled abroad and picked up parasites but he didn't get sick until he got back. There was a delay in successfully diagnosing him at Lakeland Regional Hospital in Florida. He was admitted and spent a couple of days there until an infectious disease specialist finally figured it out. We sure are spoiled in the States. :)
Thank you. That is wonderful Information
As always, great info.
Thanks again!
Very helpful. Thank you for the information.
You're welcome!
Thank you Paul!!!
Paul is quite right. I had a restaurant in Cancun Mexico for 12 years. It was very important for all my staff to take loxcell regularly .As parasitical infections are prevelant in Mexico. Important points are ,do not put tapwater into your mouth,even if you are staying in the best hotels, even to brush your teeth, USE BOTTLED WATER ONLY. Any vegetables or fruit with skins should be washed with a vegetable disinfectant or with slightly soapy water (ie antibacterial washing up liquid) on sale in most supermarkets usually near the fruit dept . Please avoid leaf vegetables in restaurants as you do not know if they have been washed in tapwater or if they have been washed properly and ensure any meat product you eat is fully cooked. I recommend taking Loxcell before you go home and I think the instructions say that it is recommends to take another dose 2 or 3 days later in case of any eggs. Its a good idea to purchase extra Loxcell to take home with you so you don,t need to chase a prescription in your country as in Mexico they are over the counter.
Wow good info Paul! Thanks
You bet!
Thanks for a great informative video!
My pleasure!
one mexican, living in Mexico watching this video super insteresting as always.
Thanks, Angel!
Great info. Thanks.
You bet!
Thank you
Great info!!
Thanks for watching!
Something NO one talks about- glad you did
2 years in Mexico and I just took my first dose of Lox last month. No side effects and my gastro issues cleared. I highly recommend Thanks for the update! Now if we could solve our mosquito Dengue prophylaxis problem this easily Mexican life would be a dream
I sleep in a mosquito net because the first evening of my trip out at the palapa, I got about 30 mosquito bites on each leg. Over the years travelling to Mexico, I was probably exposed to the mosquito diseases but thankfully I only had a low fever and recovered (after these latest mosquito bites). They just did a scientific study, and you can look it up, that released genetically modified (harmless mosquitoes in Florida, USA). Hopefully they will do this in Mexico.
The dewormer you unnecessarily took had absolutely nothing to do with clearing your gastro issues.
How long did it take for Loxcell to work?
Wow....! I have been in Mexico since 2004 and NEVER heard of it........Dam ! I might start taking it... Thank you!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
This makes total sense Paul. We medicate our pets every month for parasites, why shouldn't we do ourselves as well? Thanks Paul!
Thank you this is very helpful 🙏🙏
Glad it was helpful!
good information,thank yuo.!
You are welcome!
Good to know. 👍
great advice .. I remember working at a bank ( in SF } THE CAFE they had in this bank , had a head cashier , even fixed foods too .. never washed her hands , after cashiering then fix foods OMG got very sick , 75% came down with same illness ., at this same bank , month later , quit that place , but even with food recalls , or told , dont buy certain foods at certain store , we should in US to play it safe thank you very much again Paul
No issues living in Mexico for 2 years, but then had a really rough month if you know what I mean, took the anti parasitic and was good to go in a week. I have not wore shoes for years, parasites can easily come from the ground you walk on. Its a common issue in the tropics and you should listen to the locals no matter how clean you think you are.
Well done. After 15 years living in Mexico I thought I knew about just about everything. Learned something new today. Thanks.
Happy to help!
Soooo you've never taken the med?
@@monicadabney8471 this is non-sense, you do not need it more than in other countries, i am mexican and never have taken those, even drink from the tap....i am suspicious because in the last 2 weeks or so i have seen other youtube "expat" channels trying to push the sales of those antiparasitics.... you do not need those unless prescribed by a physician......also, the info that is cited in the commercial is factoids, and those companies producing those "meds" have been called out in the past by Profeco as not giving accurate information to say the least
@@markoconk Thank you!!
@@monicadabney8471, As a Mexican, we've seen those commercials, but we've never taken anti-parasitics. You have to take it If and only if you started to feel stomachache.
I go to Mexico every year and we all take it. 😀😉Saludos
Haha I was just about to turn down the volume before your intro.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Ive been in Mexico for 12 years and never taken anti-parasite medication or had parasites. I clean food that is eaten raw with a desinfectant. Parasite tests are cheap and available at all labs so you can test before taking something.
way to go!! regardless of where you are/live (y)
Absolutely the correct advice for “parasites” but unfortunately when you look at the comments no one will listen.
tests cheaper than just taking a pill? I am not really in favor of taking something that is not needed.
@@anniesshenanigans3815 A better question is what’s more common - bacterial food poisoning or parasites? And what impact is this unnecessary dewormer having on my good and desirable intestinal flora and fauna? If you are really convinced that you need to be worried about parasites talk to your doctor and include it in the bloodwork for your annual wellness exam. Not expensive to add.
@@dinkydoohoo1039 I think it would be a stool analysis, not a blood test. But that isn’t difficult to do, either. I agree that it’s better to test first to see if you actually need a medication, especially one with potential for serious side effects, or one that can decimate beneficial bacteria and gut flora. I read the product contraindications and other warnings, and I wouldn’t take that without knowing I was infected and needed it. As he said, it doesn’t actually have any prophylactic properties, so . . .
If you don't want to take pharms and want the same results naturally + a protectant for future infections. When I was in Yucatan a medicine woman treated me with a blend of clove, green walnut hull and wormwood powder. All comes from plants. Removed my infection in a few days and made my body overall resilient to parasites in general. Being a regular sushi eater I still take the blend 1 month on 1 month off. Never had a parasite issue since then.
I'm looking for a Medicine Man/Woman myself...how did you find her?
when I was little my dad used to give me a bitter tasting tea with no sugar added one or 2 times a year, he said it was good for keeping the stomach healthy. Your comment just reminded me of that, that there are natural remedies out there.
Yep, you can get good wormwood tinctures on Amazon!
Congrats. You got conned into the appeal to nature fallacy and pseudoscience woo woo. Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
I used something like this in the states. Went to go to a Naturopath when my GP couldn't figure it out after 6 months. I thought this kind of stuff was a big no no in MX? It's something that might prevent me from visiting... I take a number of supplements from my NP.
Another awesome video as I plan for my early retirement in Mexico - good info and background without any scare tactics, fluff or CRAZY intro music ;) - thanks, Paul!
You're welcome! Glad you liked it. Take care.
Great information, thanks. At the start of the video it sounded like you were saying something about the audio level but I couldn't hear you. Just kidding. 😀
Haha, thanks.
Wow..had no idea.
Wellll… take his advice. In the last year I’ve contracted shigella twice and my wife, who is Mexican, always living in Mexico contracted Typhoid Fever. I picked up my first case in the Mexico City Airport restaurant eating a salad. My wife got Typhoid brushing her teeth with sink water (I even know better than to do that). Then again Shigella near Merida. This last case I got some small town pharmacy to sell me something strong which killed it fast. That time we ate at a small outdoor restaurant in a plaza. When we finished, we noticed the “kitchen”, looked at each other and agreed we made a big mistake. BTW, we typically eat at excellent restaurants and don’t skimp.
Eating salad anywhere in Mexico is a big gamble, unless you prepare it at home and disinfect everything.
I know we often have suspicions of where we might've gotten sick, but you seem to know EXACTLY!
Like the salad at Mex City Airport. Its that all you ate? Did you drink the water? I'm kind of impressed how precise you are...lol!
Shigella is bacteria and taking dewormer does nothing to address it
The dewormer Paul is recommending does nothing to treat shigella or typhoid
Paul is right. As well, after having been in Mexico on and off for 12 years. There are 2 other VERY IMPORTANT times to consider antiparasitic. Not to be gross.
1.) If you’ve had agressive, watery diarrhea for more than 12 hours.
2.) for good measure, it’s a good idea to take a box back for each person (that was traveling with you) ESPECIALLY if you live in the US or EU. It is VERY EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO GET in US specifically.
I have personally known many people that return home, have bad diarrhea for weeks. Continue to get misdiagnosed ( COSTLY $) and end up in ER. When a 5$ vermox or other would have saved them.
FYI the equivalent in US cost $450 per dose and doctors are VERY hesitant to get.
I’ve literally had to drive people across the boder to get them treated.
Good news is antiparasitics usually work within a few hours and you’re much better by the next day!
Just my experiences
Oh, and we have noticed a STRONG CORRELATION between people eating Cecina (dried, cooked beef) and getting the parasite.
There is a lot of very bad advice and misinformation in the above response
Awesome!
You should retitle this video:
"Parasitology or what's bugging you"
In college taking parasitology class, was told one of the reasons the FDA was created was an over the counter diet pills people could buy.
First pill you took to start your diet. You took the second pill when you reached the desired weight.
First pill was a tapeworm ( no matter what you ate the tapeworm eats first )
Second pill was to kill the tapeworm. I imagine that tickles coming out.
Unfortunately, the second pill didn't always kill the tapeworm and a resulting bowel obstruction could kill the subject.
I became familiar with it during Covid as Ivermectin. I now live in Panama and a de-parasitic is recommended here as well. Thanks for the video.
Every 6 months !!
I think Loxcell may work but in my experience you need prescribed medicine if you have a bonafide parasite infection with severe symptoms. I think it depends on how strong your immune system is also. Your white blood cells fight parasites, if your WBC count is low you will get parasites more easily. The probiotic Floristor is great for building up your immune system and WBC count to help fight parasite infections, imho.
Eres muy simpático 😄
Gracias. :)
Lived in CDMX for 4 yrs…took this every 4 months….absolutely needed for gringos as we are not use to the bacteria.
As Mexican, we only take that one when getting stomachaches.
No, you do not need this. Parasites are not bacteria and you should not take a parasitic without a test to see what exactly you have, if anything, and proper dosage administered by a physician.
In the US we get a lot of fruits from Mexico during winter months. If you do not wash them properly you get what they are getting. And then everybody is just talking about IBS and other nonsense when having bowel discomfort (of course some people have IBS for real).
My Salvadoran ex used to always talk about this, worm pills she called them, and was astounded that Americans didn't take them.
It is common in much of Latin America. My wife used to take them as a child in Colombia. Ironically enough, I picked up amoebas and a couple of other parasites on my first trip to Colombia.
One problem with having parasites is you could be asymptomatic and not know you have them, however most of the time you will probably know because you will feel terrible.
There are actually quite a few species of worms and parasites that are able to live for years in your intestines without you ever knowing any better.
Not a bad idea to take in USA either. Foods are imported from all around the world.
BINGO!!
Properly washing produce and cooking meats/seafood should take of it. This drug has some pretty serious potential side effects, so taking it without knowing you’re actually infected might not be the best thing, especially if you live where clean water is widely available and sanitation standards in restaurants is high.
Perk is deadly
You don't have to take it NOB probably due to the other chemical treatment of fruits and veggies coming in from Mexico!
The trade-off is the more natural state of these foods SOB, which require thoroughly washing and/or treatment during food prep there.
Then, as you show us, twice a year with the one pill.
Probably, on the whole, healthier food there? I can't help but think it would be, considering whatever the USA sprays the incoming food items with requires those workers to wear hazmat suits!
Does anyone know other than chelation if there is a way to remove gadnolium from the MRI scans??
Everyone has good and bad bacteria and other critters in their gut, it's not as big of a deal as people think, and actually a good thing. 12 years in Mexico and I've never had a problem. I did try this Loxell (overpriced brand name) once but I never noticed any change. Probably because I never had a real problem to begin with, only imaginary.
Can you add the Spanish link as a link please, I can’t seem to click on it or copy/paste:(
Do you recommend we take it if we go to Mexico 2 or 3 times a yr?
Interesting! I'll have to ask my Mexican GF if she does this.
how about those of us in the USA who eat sushi? I wonder!
There are natural remedies that include cloves. Js
I thought you were going to say Cipro. You want to have a bottle of Cipro around. Use as needed, which we all hope is rare.
Cipro is the only medication that I am allergic to.
Raw garlic should be better?
I'm not sure raw garlic can kill amoebas and worms in my intestines though. I lost 15 pounds with the help of these little critters back in Colombia years ago.
I will be visiting soon for a short time. Is it still recommended?
That's your call. It is not a preventative but it can kill any critters gou may have picked up alomg the way. It only takes one contaminated meal to get parasites.
So, this would have gotten rid of my last girlfriend? 🤔 Great intel as always. For the money it's cheap insurance to protect yourself. 👍
Haha ;)
@@qroo be in Q Roo first part of September, this will be taken shortly after arrival. 👍
It doesn't prevent, it just kills. So feel free to enjoy some street food for awhile before you take it...lol.
@@qroo 🤣
I hope you see this question. Is it to prevent or to take care of it after you get them. The reason I ask is that I’m going to Mexico for 3 months. Should I take it when I get there or when I leave. Thx!
It doesn't prevent them. It kills them once those little buggers are having a party in your intestinal track.
Thanks for the info. 👍🏻
👍
What about cleanliness in restaurants of workers handling food?
IMHO, it is like Russian roulette eating out. Sanitation/cleanliness is a problem in Mexico and I mean general hand washing and food handling. My Mexican doctor told me not to eat out to avoid parasites. If you have a strong immune system you will fare better.
I like the black background, especially for indoor shots. Looks professional...
Thanks. It was something new I was trying.
Would this help H Pylori?
What is the science on the medication? The ad had a slick jingle but...
All of the brands use the same medications:
albendazole and quinfamide. These drugs are well-known antiparasitics and have been around awhile.
@@qroo Thanks for the explanation! 👍
Would this help to prevent Montezuma revenge. ??can’t hurt as a precaution
It wont prevent it but if the revenge is the result of parasites, it can help clear that up. I was sick in Colombia many years ago and I thought it was just a case of the revenge but it turned out to be amoebas
Just picked some up! Is it better to take with/without food, or morning/evening? It doesn't seem to say on the box.
I don't think it really matters. :)
@@qroo Not sure why I didn't think to Google before asking the question, but here's what the Mayo Clinic's website had to say (Feb 2021): Take this medicine with meals, especially with food containing fat, to help your body absorb the medicine better.
@@trishk.7876 the Mayo Clinic website also says this:
“Use this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.”
and
“The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label.”
Interesting. Also, I never found your intro to be too loud.
Ok thanks!
Not to be disrespectful but this is kinda like how we deworm our dogs each year. We deworm in the spring and late fall for worms.
Why does everyone deworm their dogs. Or is this in MX? My dogs have never had worms/parasites issue. Hmmm.
Any side effects .. How long have u been taking it...
We've been taking it for over 6 years now with no side effects at all. In fact, on several occasons I felt much better within 24 hours of taking one. It cleared up any gastro issues I was having. Perhaps I had a few critters hitching a ride in my intestines at the time.
Actually, is barely needed these days, but for Mexican government is easier to recommend you to take them twice per year than trying to educate yourself to have all the needed requirements to prevent a parasite infection, since, even in the US, some people don't care a shit/doesn't keep attention to the advice, it was proposed taking the medication instead
I'll be in the Querétaro area for four weeks. Should I take the medicine?
When you leave it doesn't prevent anything. It just kills what you might have picked up while eating street food.
Sooooo...if you do have them and you take the meds will you be able to tell they "came out" ???
No, you won't necessarily see anything. Especially if you just have amoebas. I lost 15 pounds when I picked up amoebas in Colombia.
@@qroo I had the feeling that would be the case.
It would be satisfying though to see them and know for sure you're eliminating them ;)!
Can I ask why this is an issue in Mexico but not in the US apparently? I do get that this can happen in the states too. Just wondering which foods are the worst offenders. If not the food, where are the bugs coming from? Thanks for helping explain.
It has a lot to do with a lack of infrastructure and access to clean drinking water in rural areas of Mexico.
Sewage and no J-johns on the agricultural fields.
Have u noticed any change in symptoms and digestion after taking Loxcell? If so, what?
There have been a few times when one or both of us was having some persistent digestive issues that went away within 24 hours of taking the medication. We have never had any side effects from it, nor do we know anyone who has.
I'm pretty sure I got parasites just two days ago. I went to the local pharmacy and they gave me farmiver but it was two pills. Those parasites are no joke. I didn't feel sick like from food poisoning but it was probably the worst stomach cramps I've ever had.
It is very possible that you picked up some hitchhikers, especially if you were indulging in street food.
@@qroo that is basically all that I have been eating for the past two weeks since I moved to PV from Honolulu. Just today after the parasites I decided I should go back to making most of my own meals.
@@qroo Actually, Paul, it’s infinitely more likely they got a much more common dose of bad bacteria. With as thorough of a researcher as you are I’m really surprised you fell for the parasite hype.
@@jjuancito Not true, you can't say it was bad bacteria. You are just as likely to get a parasitic infection as bad bacteria no matter where you eat out. I would say you are more likely to get parasites than just bad bacteria from my own experience.
@@rfink222 unfortunately you couldn’t be more wrong and have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about
I have chronic back pain and I have a hard job getting mevacation if I go to Mexico and see a Mexican doctor to get narcotics can I bring them back to the state
You will have a very tough time getting pain killers (schedule narcotics) in Mexico. Even after a surgery, it is not uncommon for them to only give enough for one or two days worth. It is one of the reasons why some people I know actually moved back to the States.
Just curious which product you take…?
Loxcell
I’m even wondering about visiting Mexico from the U.S…….could a person still need a pill or two ?
Yes. You can pick up parasites from one meal. One of our friends takes one after all of his trips to Latin America. He is a big fan of street vendors and he swears by the stuff.
Can you do a video explaining how one would transfer prescriptions from Canada (or USA) to Mexico if moving there permanently. How does this work?
I double checked the link for Farmacias Guadalajara, and you will need to use this link instead: www.farmaciasguadalajara.com/es/farmaciasguadalajara
You likely wouldn't be able to transfer an Rx. You'd likely fill up as much as you can before departing your home country and then see a Dr. in Mexico when you next need your Rx filled. Keep in mind that not all medications are available. There are websites where you can check if your Rx is available in Mexico.
@@jovicrazed Thank you for the reply. I cannot get more than 6 weeks worth of my prescription at a time so that doesn’t leave me much time to find a doctor in Mexico and go through the process. I was hoping my doctor would be able to send my health records to a doctor in Mexico.
You can’t. You would need a Mexican prescription. Most meds are available w/o prescription, but a Dr. can write one for you if it is required. A Dr visit here is about $30 MXN ($1.50 USD). The cost of meds here are a fraction of what they cost in the US.
@@lifeinmexico189 Amazing, thank you 🙏
👍😎🍻🇨🇦
My parents grew up in rural Texas. As children, they were given a spoonful of kerosene every few months for tapeworms and other parasites. It was apparently standard practice in the country.
What are the symptoms that you have a parasite?
So we are coming down to Mexico for a month in October, should we take this before coming down?
It won't prevent it, it will just kill it. Most people take one when they leave Mexico or "as needed". :)
@@qroo awesome thanks - I had a feeling this was the case😊
It makes no sense though! You mention that everyone in your family should take one because if you take one and someone else in your family does not and theg prepare your meals you may get a parasite. But what if you go to a restaurant and the cook has not taken the medication?
That could be a problem. That's why many people take it every six months and as needed.
Everybody's gastrointestinal (GI) system is different. And Mexicans don't get sick because they are probably used to the water and food that is not always cleaned or purified. Personally, my GI system is very sensitive ever since I was very young and especially when traveling and in Mexico. I do take these precautions whenever I eat or drink: 1). I buy 'purified' or spring water from the grocery store but I also have an under the sink filter installed in my condo which you can get from amazon. 2) I take a probiotic pill (such as Florastor) and eat probiotic foods (fermented cabbage) almost daily when I am in Mexico. 3) I always heat very well, any take-out food that I bring from the grocery store. 4) alcohol tends to irritate my GI and I only drink bottled alcohol, such as beer or wine on the rare occasion. 5) And lately, I have been taking something called NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine). This is an over the counter antioxidant in which a lot of research was done to show that it detoxifies the liver or kidney from certain harmful substances (drugs, insecticides, but not parasites). It is also given in a medical setting such as for tylenol poisoning (sorry for the Off topic)....... As far as taking any pill for PARASITES? Well, I think that may or may not be helpful and if you take the necessary precautions, you may be able to avoid parasites from being absorbed into your body. Thankfully, I am never constipated and the occasional diarrhea might actually be helpful to expel these parasites from the body! Hey, Thanks Paul !
Very good advice to take Floristor. White blood cells fight parasites and Floristor raises your WBC count and flushes out bad bacteria. It would be my #1 recommendation while traveling in Mexico.
I wonder where do you find fermented cabbage in Mexico. We moved to Cancun 5mo ago and I'm yet to find a legit jar of that. I've looked everywhere and the only 1-2 jars I found are at Chedraui, and they are filled with ingredients that I would not put in my GI system. So I started fermenting it myself but i'm not sure I do the right thing... Where, in which store did you find it???
