Parasites
Precautions to Help Avoid Parasitic Infestations
- Never drink tap water, no matter how safe a water supply appears to be.
- Never drink from rivers, creeks or streams, no matter how clean the water looks. The water may be loaded with larvae or parasitic spores. Hundreds of varieties are microscopic.
- Salad bars may contain improperly washed produce which carry spores that will later hatch in the body.
- Many aged cheeses are crawling alive when looked at under a microscope. It is best to avoid aged cheeses.
- Keep a healthy environment in your colon. This is the main breeding ground for a variety of parasites.
- Never swallow mucus that has been coughed up.
- Never go barefoot at the beach, horse stable or in soil. Spores penetrate the skin.
- Avoid raw fish (sushi).
- Avoid raw or undercooked meat.
- Avoid German steak tartare.
- Always wash hands thoroughly after using the bathroom.
- Parasites can be transferred through intimate contact.
- Use separate feeding dishes for your pets – never yours.
- Use separate cutting boards for meats, veggies and breads.
- Clean cutting boards with Clorox or hydrogen peroxide.
- Properly cleanse cutting knives used on meats, etc.
- Rinse off your meats, poultry and fish and then soak them in a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water or Clorox and water. A very small amount to a gallon of water is all that is necessary.
- Don’t let your pet sleep on your bed.
- Have your pets de-wormed on a regular basis.
- Avoid refined sugar products and soft drinks. Worms and parasites love sugar and sweets.
- Clean your pet’s bedding often and thoroughly.
- Clean your carpets often.
- Wash hands thoroughly immediately after gardening.
- After your pet licks you, thoroughly cleanse your skin.
- After handling raw meat, wash properly.
