------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------
A parasite is an organism that lives on a host (an animal, a plant, or yes -
even a human) and leeches off of it, taking nutrients from the host without
giving anything back. Parasites are inherently selfish, stealing the nutrients
from its host and causing nothing but problems for the unlucky party. What this
means for the host is that the immune system is compromised, making it more
difficult to fight off disease. There are all sorts of creatures that fall
under the umbrella term "parasite." Yeast, bacteria, viruses, and worms are
just a couple of the potentially troublesome creatures.
So why should you care? Well, parasites can cause all sorts of problems for
humans. For a healthy human, parasites are not typically a problem as the
immune system is equipped to deal with parasites without intervention. There
are even what might be called "helpful bacteria" living inside each and every
one of us. Yeast infections are an example of a time when the bad yeasts
overcome the helpful bacteria, creating uncomfortable problems for the host. Of
course, most people can overcome something like this with a simple prescription
or a natural remedy.
However, if you are unhealthy to begin with, it may be more difficult. People
whose pH is already out of balance, people with poor circulation, or those with
an already existing disease might find that the parasites take advantage of
such a situation, invading the body at its most vulnerable. Parasites seek out
these vulnerable situations and will move toward these areas of the body (the
places where they best thrive). What this means is that the parasite may be
present in any one of your body parts, including your organs and yes, even in
your blood. People who have diseases might find that a parasite is actually
making the disease worse - all without the person's knowledge.
A parasite cleanse is a necessary step to ridding the body of harmful
parasites. There are lab tests to determine whether or not you have parasite.
Unfortunately, these tests only screen for about forty different parasites,
meaning it's possible to test negative for a parasite infection when you
actually do have a parasite. Some estimates show that up to 80% of the world's
population is a host to some form of parasite - yes, that's world population,
meaning developing nations aren't the only place where these pesky parasites
lurk.
How do I know I have a parasitic infection?
Of course, there are all sorts of different symptoms of a possible parasitic
infection. Why? Because parasites don't just infect one part of the body. Here
are some possible places where parasites might lurk, and the symptoms which
accompany them:
* Mucous membrane: problems with your bladder, lungs, sinuses, or vagina,
for example, may be worsened by the presence of a parasite
* The skin: Itching, swelling, rashes, and even psoriasis, eczema, hives,
and dermatitis are all potential signs of a parasitic infection
* The digestive tract: this manifests in something as simple as
indigestion, constipation, as well as other types of pain in the stomach,
colitis, or even ulcers
* The lymphatic system: allergies may be a sign of parasites in the
lymphatic system, as digested food is released into the intestines
* Joints or tissue: inflamed arthritis, or other muscle/joint pain may be a
sign of a parasite lurking
* In general, things like fatigue (especially after eating) and anemia may
be indicative of parasites in the body
Okay, but why would I have a parasite?
Well, there are a variety of ways of getting a parasite. Here are some of the
most common:
Pets: Unfortunately, one of the most common ways of getting a parasite is
through a pet. Women who are pregnant are told not to empty the cat litter box
for this very reason. Washing your hands is always a good idea, but even that
doesn't necessarily rid you of a potential parasitic infection.
Water: Most of us have heard the warning "don't drink the water" when we're
traveling in unfamiliar places. This is because residents who grew up in the
area are used to the parasites and have adapted to accommodate them. Foreigners
not used to these parasites may unknowingly harm their bodies by drinking the
water the locals drink. Unfortunately, these parasites may lurk for a long time
without the person's knowledge. Therefore, travel may cause parasites like
malaria and roundworm to spread around the world.
Food: Another way to get a parasitic infection is through the food we eat.
Cheese and yogurt, for instance, contain both bacteria and yeast beneficial to
the human body. However, if they are not aged or fermented in the right way,
the helpful bacteria may turn to bad parasites. Raw foods are another way
parasites spread, meat and fish being particularly common ways of spreading
parasites if they are not correctly cooked.
Environment: People who live in either agricultural areas where pesticides are
common or in high smog areas are particularly susceptible to parasites.
Bacterial and parasite levels are high, for instance, after a heavy rain,
creating a risk of infection.
So I think I might have a parasite. What should I do now?
First off, don't panic! The last thing you want to do is get rid of your
beloved cat Sparky just because you fear a parasite lurks on his or her body.
What you do want to do is remain aware of the potential risks for infection and
take the necessary steps toward eliminating these harmful parasites. There are
ways of detoxifying, for instance, that are as simple as regular exercise and
eating healthier food. One of the best ways to ensure that your body is free of
parasites, of course, is through a parasite cleanse.
