Billy, Kerri, and the protocol, have recovered 71 children from autism in the last year and yes, it was in use prior to being posted here on the forum. I don't know how many parents are using it. (Hard to know on a publicly posted protocol, if they don't self-identify)
Combantrin and mebendazole are different. They are both antithelmics, but Mebendazole or MBZ is a benzimidazole drug developed by Janssen Pharmaceutica and marketed as Vermox, Ovex, and Antiox.
(I actually get mine from India and it is called Lupimeb)
Combantrin is Pyrantel pamoate ( as under the US Pharmacopoeia) or Pyrantel Embonate (under European Pharmacopoeia), and is used as a deworming agent in the treatment of hookworms (all species) and roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides, aka ascarids in humans) in domesticated animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, and many other species. It is a combination of pyrantel and pamoic acid.
Re: adult dosing: Taken from a copy that I have of the original protocol:
Diatomaceous Earth - (DE) **Food Grade**: 1 teaspoon 2x a day for smaller kids, 1 teaspoon 3x a day for adults and bigger kids for months 1-3. For months 4 - 12 no DE on the days of the pharmaceutical meds. Mix with a little bit of water and drink. Can be given with food.
Mebendazol: 100mg in the AM and PM for children 50 lbs, 200mg in the AM and PM for children 100 lbs or more - given with fat (ex eggs, chicken, beef) will get into the bloodstream faster. Can be given with the Diatomaceous Earth. This would include adults.
*****Vermox Interactions: Do not hesitate to buy Vermox, but remember not to share this medication with any other individual. After you order Vermox online, make a list of all the other medications as well as supplements that you are already taking. Discussing this list with your healthcare professional will allow him/her to provide appropriate guidance. This in turn will help you to steer clear of any unnecessary interactions between medications (or even supplements) that might occur.
The most significant drug interaction with Vermox (mebendazole) is Flagyl (metronidazole). This one is very important! Do NOT take/give mebendazole and Flagyl together. When used together, they could cause Stevens-Johnson Syndrome which can be very serious.
The next significant drug interaction with Vermox is Tagamet (cimetidine). This is not as serious an interaction, but could result in reduced liver metabolism of the mebendazole causing elevated serum/blood concentration.****
Combantrin: 10mg per kilo
½ tablet for children less than 50 lbs., 1 tablet for children 50 lbs, 3 tablets for 120 lb person, 4 tablets 200lb person... given in the morning - followed by castor oil 2 - 3 hours afterward.
**no pumpkin seeds with Combantrin because it cancels it out**
Rompepiedras: Lepidium Latifolium (Stone breaker) Follow package instructions. (e.g. 15 drops for a 100 lb child) Smaller children 7 drops put in with the DE. I put 10 drops in each of my DE doses, total 30 drops per day, as an adult
Neem: Prepare a tea from the leaves, 1 tea bag in 1 liter of water (add stevia if needed- very bitter)
Adults drink the whole liter divided into 4 doses
A 110 lb child drinks 600ml of the 1 liter and divide it into 4 doses
A 85-110 lb child drinks 500 ml of the 1 liter divided into 4 doses
A 65-85 lb child drinks 400 ml of the 1 liter divided into 4 doses
A 50-65 lb child drinks 350 ml of the 1 liter divided into 4 doses
A 35-50 lb child drinks 200 ml of the 1 liter and divide it into 4 doses
A 20-35 lb child drinks 100 ml of the 1 liter divided into 4 doses
Castor Oil: 1 teaspoon for smaller children, 2 teaspoons for bigger children As an adult, I used 1 tablespoon
Quinton Hypertonic Water: The quinton is based on weight. The under 30lbs are 10ml, the 30 to 50 lb are 20ml...the 55 to 75 are 30ml and all above are 40ml or more. I give my 110 lber 70ml a day all at once - This is given daily. For a 200 lb person, you would do 100mL a day and be OK. Note, if you have high blood pressure, you may want to go from the hypertronic to the isotonic
*Enemas for the first month are all mms enemas * Give them 2-3 hours after the medications or... 2-3 hours after the Castor Oii - Whichever was given last Enemas
