Would you believe you have a one in five chance of having parasites? Parasites are more common than you, and the the majority of physicians out there, realize. Studies show it is quite possible that the majority of gastrointestinal complaints are a result of undiagnosed unrecognized parasites infections.

In a report to The American College of Gastroenterology, Dr. Leo Galland, M.D., said that among 197 consecutive patients with a Giardia lambia, a microscopic organism introduced to water supplies by animals via mountain streams and by human sewage entering public water supplies. Symptoms included diarrhea, stomach bloating, chronic fatigue, food intolerance, stomach pain and constipation. 1

Martin Lee, Ph.D., biochemist, microbiologist and director of the Great Smokies Laboratory in North Carolina, conducted a study on the presence of parasites in very sick people. In one group of lower-income immigrants, 70 percent were found to be infected. More surprising, when he examined a group of more well-to-do Americans, he found 20 percent had parasites. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta got the same results in their test. 2  What does this mean? In the past we took a certain comfort in the belief that parasites occurred mostly in Third World countries and that in our sterile, government-inspected industrialized society, we were immune. The fact is, we can have parasites and not have symptoms, and we can get them a lot easier than we ever realized.

Do you swim in the summer? Certain parasites are not killed by chlorine and all it takes is an undetected or neglected pool filer to infect many people. In 1990, a Los Angeles Times article reported on  the case of a child infected with cryptosporidium who infected others through the local swimming pool. The pool managers treated the water with chemicals, not realizing that because one of the three pool filters was not working their efforts were in vain. The parasite infected swimmers for about a month before the broken filter was discovered (Los Angeles Times, September 23, 1990).

California recommends that public pools be inspected three times a year. In one report health officials estimated that 44 percent of the pools in Los Angeles County had not been inspected for three or more years. 3

 

FACTS:

1) 80% of Amerciam population is infected with PARASITES

2) There are 120 different kinds of Parasites in our body

3) The world Health Organization estimates that 1/4 of the world's population suffers from chronic intestinal parasitic infection.

bulletParasites and Worms

You may be shocked to know that parasites can remain in your body for 10, 20, and even 30 years. This means you may have eaten meat 10 years ago which was a little undercooked and still be contaminated with the tapeworms from that meat. Parasites can be your "partners for life."

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, cryptosporidium is the leading cause of waterborne illness in the United States. This microscopic parasite was the cause of a Milwaukee contamination in which 400,000 people were affected with severe stomach problems and diarrhea, and one died. Dateline NBC reported the presence of cryptosporidium cysts in New York City's municipal water supply. You may be interested - or disgusted - to learn that healthy people can tolerate up to 1,000 of these little buggers before showing signs of illness. Among persons with severely suppressed immune systems. it only takes a few to cause death. 4

 
bulletParasited cause Nutritional Deficiencies
As you read this, you realize the extreme problems that can occur when parasites infect the body. Parasitic infection can reduce food intake, impair absorption from the intestine and, as a result, cause massive nutritional deficiencies over time. Different organisms can cause an inability to absorb different nutrients.

The tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum can cause pernicious anemia because it blocks vitamin B12 from being absorbed in the intestine. Blood loss from hookworm, trichuris and chistosoma infections may cause iron-deficiency anemia.  Ascaris lumbricoides infection may reduce fat absorption and interfere with the absorption of vitamin A, compromising eyesight. 5

Because parasites cause the cilia in the intestine to become flattened and basically ineffective, any nutrients, including the B vitamins and many minerals, cannot be absorbed into the body. This catch-22 causes deficiencies which impair the immune system resulting in secondary health problems that can't be traced to the parasites.

bulletTapeworms are among the oldest worms of the human race

Indeed, some species have become so well adapted to life in the human intestine, that the host (man) may  be entirely asymptomatic. This means you may have a tapeworm and not appear to have any symptoms. You wouldn't even know it was there. If the head of tape worms is not expelled, the whole worm will grow back. And they can grow up to 30 feet long in you body.

 The fish tapeworm (from Sushi) is the largest of the human tapeworms. A fully devloped worm may reach the length of 33 feet or more. There can be 3,00 to 4,00 segments in one worm. The main body of the worm - the - proglottids - are virtually filled with mail and female reproductive organs. This worm produces an incredible number of eggs, often more than 1,00,00 a day! The adult fish tapeworm may live in man for 20 years or more.

bulletStopping Parasites without Dangerous Drugs
 

There are diets and strategies that can help kill and flush out parasites without destroying the intestinal lining and the bacteria that keep it healthy.

1. The first step is to cleanse the intestinal tract. A good intestinal cleanse that contain good sources of fibers such as psyllium, prune, beet, apple pectin, rice, oat bran and, bentonite, combined with laxative herbs such as cascara sagrada, senna, aloe vera leaf, and fennel. Good-for-your intestine bacteria Probiotics like FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and Lactospor. In addition, you should take detoxifying herbs such as Yellow dock, Red clover, Garlic,  Blessed thistle, Milk thistle, Cayenne, Parsley, and Dandelion. (I recommend Nature Cleanser System or Perfect 7). Next consider a simple cooker-vegetable based detoxifying diet for at least several days and up to two or three weeks . Such a diet will include mostly vegetables with small portions of grain and beans, little or no fruit ot other sweet foods, and no refined or processed foods, caffeine, or alcohol. Eliminate all milk and dairy products as well, with the possible exception of raw goat's milk, which contains immune-boosting antibodies, and has been found helpful in the treatment of parasites. 

2. Modify the diet. The most important ongoing dietary recommendation is to eliminate sugar. Parasites thrive on sweets and simple carbohydrates, including white rice, white bread, fruit and fruit juices. Cranberries, papaya, and fresh pineapple are exceptions, since these have enzymes that are anti-parasitic. 7  Eat unprocessed, high-fiber foods, which encourage frequent elimination. To overcome the limitations of intestinal parasites that drain the body of nutrients, supplement with an easily absorbable, derived-from-nature mineral blend in solution. Studies show minerals dissolved in water before ingestion are considerably more bioavailable to the body than those even present in food, because they aren't risked by a lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach or a disable intestine. Liquid vitamins and mineral solution provide the maximum absorption ratios.

3. Take natural substances to prevent and eliminate parasites. Parasite-fighting foods include fresh garlic (several cloves a day) and walnuts ( a couple handfuls per day), which you may take until your condition is corrected. if your situation prevents you from carrying around and eating fresh form. Odorless aged garlic concentrates the active parasite-killing ingredients in a garlic supplement.  It is also useful in colds and flu, ringworm, intestinal worms,  helps to lower cholesterol and for liver, gallbladder, and digestive support.  Black walnut  is useful in treatment of low thyroid, parasites, ringworm, athletes foot, toxic blood conditions, and skin detoxification ( I recommend Para System)

4.Restore the digestive tract to its Old self. Digestive Enzyme can help alleviate gastrointestinal complaints such as gas/bloating, diarrhea, and cramps associated with inefficient/incomplete digestion. Acidophilus is very helpful. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection.8,9 Individuals with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria.10,11

5. And finally, restore the immune system with a good B vitamin complex, liquid minerals, and a high-potency liquid multi-vitamin formula. Once the source of malabsorption is eliminated, boosting your body with important nutrients is the last step toward the road of health.
