What is a parasite?

A parasite is an organism that grows, feeds and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.

How do we become infected?

Infestation can come from a number of sources. The most common are walking barefoot in contaminated soil, eating unclean fruits and vegetables (especially watercress)as well as raw meat and fish, drinking contaminated water supplies, sexual intercourse, auto-intoxication from poor nutrition, liver flukes, kissing pets, working in the garden, mucus-forming foods and lack of proper bowel flora or proper digestive enzymes.

Why don’t we hear more stories?

It is not a subject the general public discusses either because of embarrassment or people not knowing that they have parasites. They know they have diabetes, cancer, etc. but not that parasites directly or indirectly caused or contributed to their disease. For example, cancer is simply a symptom indicating a body that is auto-intoxicated with parasites, worms, yeast, virus and other bacteria, and whose colon lacks beneficial flora.

Parasites and where they live.

Parasites and worms feed on the good nutrients from food and their excrement then circulates in the bloodstream.

The pin-worm, found mostly in children, lives in the lower intestine and rectum. The female worm comes out of the colon to lay her eggs. This occurs mostly at night thereby contaminating pajamas and bedding as well. A single female may deposit 15,000 or more eggs which are infective in a few hours. The crawling of the worm on the skin of the areas surrounding the anus itches. The child scratches this area and contaminates his nails and hands with the eggs. The eggs are also transported by air currents. Therefore, other family members are easily contaminated. Statistics claim that one in five children today have pinworms. What about the ones not diagnosed?

Parasites and worms can travel anywhere in the body. If the infestation is in the colon, the body puts a protective barrier of fluid around them to keep them corralled off (the bloating I spoke of earlier) to try to prevent them from traveling to other parts of the body. For those suffering from diabetes, worms are in the pancreas. For those suffering with multiple sclerosis, they are what is eating the myelin sheaths off the exposed nerve endings. It is a misconception that the immune system of the body is attacking itself in MS.

Parasites are seldom picked up on blood tests, as they largely travel at night, not in the day when blood tests are generally given. Since they live in the liver, pancreas, lungs, bile duct, brain, muscles, joints, appendix, small intestine, large intestine, prostrate, uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina and gall bladder, they are difficult to detect. Unfortunately, too, allopathic medicine deals with the relief and/or masking of symptoms, rather than eliminating the root causes of symptoms.

That is why it is important to eliminate these parasites from the body before there is a full-blown disease such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis.

Two types of worms are roundworms and hookworms. These are unsegmented worms. They produce eggs that require incubation in soil or in another host before becoming potentially infective to humans.

Roundworm (ascaris lumbricoides). These are symptomless in many people. It is estimated that over one billion people in the world may be infected with roundworm. The source of infection is contamination of soil and vegetables with feces. Adult roundworms live in small intestines and can exit through the mouth or nose of the infected person. Occasionally, there is obstruction of the pancreatic or bile duct, appendix, or small intestines. Dry cough, fever and sleep disturbance may occur. Diagnosis is by stool exam for eggs and blood test.

Nector americanus (hookworms). These are transmitted through unbroken skin by walking barefoot. Hookworms travel into blood and through the lung and intestines. Hookworm infection is usually symptomless. There may be itching at the area of skin penetration. There can be digestive symptoms. The worms attach to and suck the blood from the mucous of the small intestines leading to iron deficiency anemia, low energy and peptic ulcer-like symptoms in severe infections.
