Hi
Thanks for writing in.

I would not advice you to use borax or apple cider vinegar to treat intestinal infestation.

You could have amoebiasis or intestinal parasitic infestation. Treatment for amoebiasis is with metronidazole and parasites are treated with albendazole.

I would advice you to get a stool examination to know the exact nature of the parasite to pursue further treatment. Please don't ignore your condition, it needs to be treated effectively.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to write back for any more questions that you may have.
