AB - Objective: Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which a parasite exploits its host as both a habitat and nutrient source, causing unilateral harm. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately one billion people worldwide are infected with parasites. In South Korea, egg-positive rates have declined markedly through large-scale deworming programs, yet various parasitic infections continue to be reported. The mainstay of treatment is the administration of drugs such as albendazole, mebendazole, and ivermectin. However, limitations include insufficient efficacy against certain parasites, a limited number of available drugs, and delays in the development of novel therapeutic agents. Accordingly, research into alternative therapeutic approaches utilizing antiparasitic medicinal plants has recently attracted increasing attention.
Case Report: This case report describes a Korean male patient in his sixties who presented with generalized pruritus, neck discomfort, hyperkeratosis of the hands, and facial muscle tremors, and in whom parasitic infection was suspected. To alleviate his symptoms, Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) using fennel, Artemisia annua, clove, Torreya nucifera, buckwheat, pomegranate, aronia, walnut, and bamboo salt was administered. Following the intervention, the disappearance of facial muscle tremors and neck discomfort was confirmed, along with the alleviation of generalized pruritus and hyperkeratosis of the hands.
Conclusion: As this case is based on a single patient, generalizing the findings to patients with similar symptoms has inherent limitations. Nevertheless, this case is considered meaningful in that a simple OCNT intervention could contribute to improvements in the patient's symptoms and quality of life.
