About the fact that there were parasites in the body, can testify the increased number eosinophills deciphering blood count. To schedule a treatment, clarify diagnosis, conducting immunological blood tests for antibodies or antigens. The liver and other organs checked using x-ray, ultrasound, MRI, bioresonance diagnostics.
