PARASITES!      

 According to the World Health Organization, over 3.5 billion people suffer from some type of parasite infection. 

What are parasites?

        Parasites are organisms that live inside or on our bodies.  They compete with our cells for nutrients, and excrete toxic waste which is very dangerous to the body.  There are over 400 different types of parasitic animals that range in size from microscopic amoebas, causing little or no symptoms, to large intestinal worms that can be several metres long, and cause terrible joint pains or worse. 

How does someone become infected?

        We may get infected through contaminated food, water and from our pets (cats and dogs alone can transfer up to 100 different types of parasites to humans).  Parasites can also be passed from person to person contact.  Factors that advance the spread of parasites include: the increase in international travel, eating improperly washed or improperly prepared foods, ingesting undercooked meat and raw fish, excessive use of antibiotics and immunosuppressive drugs, unsafe sex, and exposure to environmental toxins.

When should I suspect a parasite infection?

        Because there are so many different kinds of parasites, there are many different signs and symptoms associated with having parasites.  Just to illustrate: Tapeworm infection can cause epileptic seizures, Ascaris (an intestinal fluke) can cause asthma and eczema, signs of pinworms can be itchy nose or anus. The list is endless.

        But to help you, here are just some of the most common signs of a parasite infection: allergies, anemia or iron deficiency, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, itchy anus/nose/ears, skin conditions, chronic fatigue and lethargy, sleeping problems (multiple awakenings, especially between 2-3 a.m.), night-time drooling, teeth-grinding, numb hands, joint and muscle pain and inflammation often assumed to be arthritis, depression, excessive amounts of bacterial or viral infections.

Please note:  These are only possible symptoms, and keep in mind that not everyone that has these symptoms should automatically  assume that they are infected; however, if you suspect infection or if you have been unsuccessfully treated for any health problem, it might make sense to consider doing a herbal parasite cleanse.      

How can I safely eliminate parasites?

     Three powerful traditional anti-parasitic herbs -  wormwood, black walnut and cloves - supported by  other anti-parasitic herbs, can rid us of many of the different parasites that we may have.  The herbs have no major side effects and don't interact with drugs.    An herbal anti-parasite program should be followed for at least 30 days.

How can I reduce the risk of parasite infection?

•     Cook meat and fish well (avoid microwave ovens - they don't heat food sufficiently).
•     Use good quality filtered water.
•     Wash fruits, vegetables, grains in good quality water, or an anti-parasitic solution.
•     Avoid processed foods.
•     Avoid swimming in polluted rivers, streams, or lakes.
•     Wear gloves when changing the litterbox, and deworm pets regularly.
•     Don't smoke.
•     Avoid the use of products containing propyl alcohol or benzene.
•     Avoid amalgam dental fillings.
