Suggest Treatment For Infections Caused Due To Contaminated Water

My 4yr old son and I lived in a house with contaminated water tanks…it took me 10 months to work out the cause of our symptoms but by then it was to late…we were infested with parasites, worms, and bacteria (from possum faeces, E Coli, blue algae, mosquito larvae). We moved to town treated water 3 weeks ago. In the past four months we have been on metronidazole, doxycyclene, mebendazole, and a long list of herbal tincture ingredients from naturopaths. All have had varying success but have not eradicated bugs/infections. I have them in my right eye, we both have them in our sinuses, ears, intestines, and lungs. I am scared. We both have passed white segments, threadworms, and other amoeba looking things. I have tested positive to Dientamoeba Fragilis (DNA). I have passed a dead tapeworm segment. Doctor has just prescribed abendezole, we start 3 day treatment today (200mg/day). Please help, thanks in advance
