Question : I talked to one of the Drs. a few days concerning strange things in my stool.I was sent an answer that it sound like a severe infection of pin worms and you named 2 prescriptions I could use. I have struggled with this for 3 yrs and sent many specimens to my Dr. over this period of time and he keeps saying it is what I eat.I went to my Dr. in December and told him I still had the same problem and he got up and walked out on me. Now, I don't know what to do as I'm sure he won 't fill it. I decided to try pomegranate juice as I read that could help with the problem. I don't know,but worth a try except I don't know how much will do the job or if it will work at all. Could you give me info on this? Thank you E-mail not received yet !!
