Parasites Cleanse

Three questions are involved in most parasites cleanse programs.

• Do I need this cleanse?
• How do I do this cleanse?
• How can I avoid the problem in the future?

Parasites include protozoa (single-celled organisms), worms and arthropods (usually insects like fleas). Some are found world-wide; others originate in tropical or sub-tropical regions. One Wikipedia article lists over sixty parasites.

Some vendors claim their product(s) handle a hundred parasites. So many parasites may cause many different symptoms. If you have any acute symptoms, of course you would see your doctor.

Symptoms to Watch For

Here are some of the more common chronic symptoms for internal parasites:

• Recurring diarrhea or constipation (especially without a known cause)
• Indigestion
• Itching, especially near the anus
• Unexplained weight loss or inability to gain weight
• Increasing fatigue or loss of energy
• Nausea or cramping or vomiting

Many of the internal parasites live in the intestines, but others target other internal organs, muscle tissue, and other areas.

Common symptoms for external parasites include:

• Hives or rashes (anywhere on the skin)
• Itching, especially on the scalp
• Fever
• Tiny bites or blood spots on the skin

You probably can see external parasites such as bedbugs, lice or fleas – although some may require magnification. Internal parasites often need to be diagnosed by stool or blood samples.

Ask your doctor about your symptoms, and ask to be tested for parasites.The listed symptoms may have other causes.Discuss the results with your doctor.

After a parasites cleanse program, you may need to follow-up with pro-biotic foods to replenish your desirable intestinal bacteria.

Wormwood should be avoided by breastfeeding mothers.

Foods To Add To Your Diet

Here are more dietary methods to cleanse or discourage internal parasites:

• Almonds
• Anti-oxidants, including blackberries
• Coconut oil
• Fresh figs
• Fiber and water to promote regular bowel movements
• Raw garlic
• Onions
• Pumpkin seeds

Foods to promote your own desirable intestinal bacteria include:

• Bananas
• Jerusalem artichoke
• Leeks
• Oats

No Welcome Mat

Parasites absolutely adore sugars and foods made from white flour. Avoid them and it leaves a simple message for the unwanted guests - "Stay away, you're not welcome here!"

This is the simple, common-sense list:

• Cook fish properly, including freshwater fish. Sashimi and sushi (with raw fish) are usually safe, if the restaurant takes proper care in obtaining its supplies and in preparing the dishes.
• Cook meat properly. Anyone who cooks pork knows about trichinosis. However, other worms can be transmitted from beef, lamb, goat, wild game, and even from chicken liver.
• Good hygiene deters external parasites.
• Launder everything, especially to deal with fleas or bedbugs.
• Swim with care.Even normally-clean beaches may contain untreated animal waste after a heavy rain. Microbes can invade through the mouth or nose.
• Take care with kitty litter: don’t inhale the dust. Wash your hands after scooping your dog’s droppings or cleaning the kitty litter.
• Take care when travelling. Before you go, learn about the health risks.
• Wash the dishes – including cutting boards and whatever touched raw meat.
• Strictly separate utensils between “raw” and “cooked”.(For example: use one spatula to move a raw hamburger onto the grill; use a different one to flip the burgers and to serve).In fact, it’s wise to reserve one plastic cutting board for meats; use a different cutting board for vegetables.
• Wash your hands, especially after using the restroom. Also wash your hands after handling raw meat or fish.

This list may have some surprises:

Most parasites travel from one host to another, so treat everyone in your household.

We all love our pets, but avoid letting them lick your face or eat from your plate; wash your hands after handling them.

Choose sleeping partners carefully. This includes children’s sleepovers.

Wear long sleeves and pants in the woods, to help avoid ticks (which spread Lyme disease).
