Parasites

Parasites

Posted by Connie Jacoby, Naturopath Health Consultant on Jul 12th 2024

What are they, where do they come from, and what do I need to cleanse them from my body? 

We all have worked in the garden or flower bed, even done lawn care. All involve touching dirt/soil and plant matter. Microbes in the soil and microscopic parasites are everywhere. Fleas, ticks, and other parasite invasions will cause other antibacterial, viral, and microbial problems to be much more challenging to fight. Parasites consume and give off waste products in your body and the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals we ingest. One of the first signs of invasion is our body's lack of vitamins and minerals. The toxins produced by parasites destroy host cells, causing organ damage, hormone imbalance, pathological changes in vascular health, and weakening the body’s ability to fight cancer. You may not even notice their presence as the signs and symptoms are similar to those of a cold or flu, arthritis, indigestion, and more. Signs and symptoms occur in stages and from person to person over days, weeks, and even years. 

Our dogs, cats, horses, cattle, hogs, and goats are a few animals requiring worming and antiparasitic measures. Fleas carry disease and are the beginnings of tapeworms, especially in our canine and feline friends. Those cherished friends carry eggs and parasites into your home and life. WE pet our animals after being outside with their feet in the dirt. The beginnings are microscopic many times. We also carry those beginnings when we were in contact with soil and plant matter. Taking your shoes off and cleansing them will always be beneficial. We haven’t been diligent in this cleansing because it is not at the forefront of our thoughts regarding detox and cleansing. Until there has been a webinar or reel about the effects on our bodies, few paid very little attention. You take the time to worm your animals because it will make them very sick or ill. We have heard of the importance of heartworm protocols, giant worm and tapeworm, and flukes protocols. Let's look at the signs and symptoms of these critters on us humans. 

Parasites and Travel 

When you are infected with a form of parasite during travel, the manifestation usually occurs in stages as follows: 

  • Stage 1—Fatigue in the morning after eating fruit, as sugars are a source of food; this only lasts about 2 to 3 hours.
  • Stage 2—As the aggravation grows, abdominal pain, gas, and diarrhea occur. 
  • Stage 3—Gas and unpleasant-smelling odors begin like rotten eggs. The stool changes from yellow to green or vice versa. 
  • Stage 4—Liquid stools lead to increased fluid loss or dehydration, fever, imbalance, weakness, and intense cramps. 

Here is a list of risk factors when traveling. Eating raw or semi-raw meat or fish, being in contact with friendly animals, drinking contaminated water or food, having poor hygiene, unwashed hands, unwashed fruits and veggies, Institutional care areas, rural or developing countries, and elderly persons will have a higher propensity for infestation. 

There are hundreds of different species of parasites in the world, ranging in size from micrometers to several meters. They can live for decades and multiply at a catastrophic rate. Each day, we have the possibility of parasite invasion. 

Remember, if there is one, there are more. They reproduce, give off toxins, and have side effects that mimic other illnesses: bloating, gut pain, erratic digestion (slow or diarrhea), inability to reduce weight, brain fog, intermittent pain, cough, runny nose, depression, and dizziness, restlessness, drooling during sleep, gnashing of teeth, insomnia, snoring, twitching, Salt cravings, evening, rash.

The types found are round worms, hookworms, tapeworms, pinworms, gia cocciala, flatworms, ascaris, flukes, thorny-headed worms, sporozoan, cliophora, sardonia, mastigophora (ectoparasites) ticks, chiggers and scabies, fleas and lice. The three main classes of parasites causing diseases in us are protozoa (unicellular), helminths (multicellular), and ectoparasites (multicellular). 

Wow, what a list! 

Here are areas they locate and live… Brain, eyes, Lymphs, lungs, intestines, muscles, blood, joints, and skin. All of this information should be saved for attention to your health. 

Parasites consume the very same things you consume, and therefore, you will be deficient in nutrients, and that is no fun. 

Prevention is worth a pound of cure… Wash your fruits and veggies thoroughly, always wash your hands with antibacterial soap before eating, avoid eating raw fish and meats, cook properly., protect all foods from dust, flies, and rodents, maintain a clean water supply, and clean and sanitize toilet areas of pets and yours. The best treatment is preventative. Cleanse your body first and then complete a parasite cleanse. 

The standard and healthy immune system has many defense mechanisms against invaders and pathogens; a parasite's excrement is enough to slow down our immune system and defenses. 

List of antiparasitic foods/elements: 

  • Dandelion
  • Mugwort (artemisia)
  • Cloves
  • Walnut leaves and hulls
  • Lavender
  • Thuja
  • Mint
  • Barberries
  • Pomegranates
  • Turmeric
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Grapefruit

and some vegetable oils. 

While detoxing, parasites follow a nutritional diet primarily consisting of fruits, veggies, and fish. Eating high-fiber foods will benefit this process. Coconut oil ingested will assist and provide a biofilm for the gut while feeding the fatty organ of the brain. (1/2 tsp daily) Restrict sugars and carbs, yeast products, and junk/processed foods. Avoid eating raw or undercooked meats and seafood, and maintain food hygiene. Foods naturally controlling parasite infestation are carrots, cabbage, radishes, pickled ginger, horseradish, pineapple, rhubarb, figs, goji berries, and berries naturally occurring in your region, and seasonal veggies—seasonings like garlic, onion, oregano clove, aloe, and day that are unique. 

The Parasite Detox System offers a combination of Wormwood with black walnut Hulls in caps, Niaouli EO and Niaouli lotion for topical use for both young and old, a Lymphagogue to maintain the lymph system during detox, Palmarosa EO for the Lymph system, and a Detox Foot Bath System with Detox EO. 

Before you begin, start a journal to record progress and assist with adjustments. Keep track of all food, supplements, medications, and fluid intake. This is very important. You can’t know where you're going if you don’t know where you’ve been. Be diligent! Persevere! Do not falter.
