I know we have many parasites living within our body, such as tapeworms from undercooked meats. Does anyone have a safe, proven method of ridding the body of these parasites?

i've had pink eye since around september 27th, it started in my right eye but after about a month and a half it spread to my left. I've been through 3 doctors, 2 opthamologists (1 recommended by the other). whom prescribed me 4 different types of eye drops, with "Gentemicin Sulfate" being the first. After using it for about a week my infection got alittle worse the doctor assumed i was allergic to the medication and prescribed me a different drug (Quixin) then sent me to an opthamologist. while pulling a culture (culture came out negative, nothing grew). despite the discharge i've been experiencing the opthamologist diagnosted me with "Allergical" Conjunctivis" and prescribed me "Patanol". a few days went on and my pink eye got better then worse, so my opthamologist recommended me another opthamologist, one more credible. This one prescribed me with "Zymar" drops and penicillin orals. weeks went on he kept dismissing my case. 5 months im sure its not viral, pretty sure its bacterial.

With bird flu currently one of the most feared pandemics to hit the World, killing many people already in Indonesia, an Australian drug company has developed a vacine. Incredibly the reaction of the Indonesial Government is to claim intellectual copyright over the strain of the virus used and instead of being so glad that a cure is now available they want to claim royalties on the disease.

My 4 year old daughter has chicken pox. I have never had the virus before and the doc advised that at this time it does not make sense for me to get the vaccine. I cannot afford to become infected because of my job.

My kid and I are very close and affectionate to one another. How do I take care of her without contracting the virus from her? I would like to hear from you.

Thanks

Hey guys have a question for you, it may seem a little weird, but please help. I borrowed a pen and forgot to return. When I got in my car, I noticed I had the pen. I then saw that one it was a splotch of dried blood, like a little clump or ball. I was going to throw it off an wash my hands, but the clump of blood fell on he cloth seat of my car. Tomorrow, I am having the interior shampooed, I already had the appointment, but now I am worried that when that blood becomes wet in the interior, it might active something in the blood, i.e. HIV and Hep C. I am worried that my car seats will then have HIV or Hep C. on them? Is this a realistic threat? Am I at any risk? Should I cancel my appt. tomorrow? Please help.
Thanks
