There is a wonderful and fair joke: "There are no healthy people, there are under-examined ones. "And if we talk about some aspects of health, such as parasite infection, then this is no longer a joke, but the real truth. According to the WHO, today up to one billion people around the world are infected with parasites (for a minute, this is one seventh of the planet's population)! Among the "classical" parasites alone, helminths, almost fifty species can live and thrive in the body of homo sapiens. And what about others: lice, single-celled lice (chlamydia, toxoplasma, lamblia), fungi (candida), etc. …
Not everyone is infected with parasites. Naturally, among the population of third world countries or some residents of islands, literally all people suffer from parasitosis, but the higher the level of well-being and hygiene of a person, the less likely he is to be sick. However, at least once in our lives (and usually much more often) each of us has encountered parasites. Some are its constant hosts to this day. . . There is only one conclusion: if there is a fact of infection, it is very important to cleanse the body of parasites.
Where do parasites come from?
They live in large numbers in the environment. We simply do not see this, since their eggs (if they are multicellular organisms) are usually small or microscopic in size. And there is no need to talk about parasitic microorganisms. For example, the parasitic fungus Candida is widely present in soil, natural waters, on the surface of fruits, vegetables, objects, etc.
As a rule, a person contracts parasites when he does not properly wash his hands and what he is going to eat, or does not properly prepare food (meat, eggs and poultry are infected with parasites).
Don't rule out your pets either. Their fur and body are also full of unwanted inhabitants (fleas, worms, toxoplasma), especially if the cat or dog was taken from the street or is occasionally found there.
In general, the man did not wash his hands, ate an undercooked cutlet, stroked the dog and received not only pleasure, but also an unexpected "friend" who from now on will eat and live at his expense, and will also take him for a walk. source of infection for healthy people.
Not a pleasant prospect, is it? And this brings us back to the need for cleanliness. At home you can practice cleansing the body with tar, various teas, other herbal remedies, etc.
How to recognize the presence of parasites in the body?
Ideally, you should undergo every conceivable and inconceivable test that reveals the presence of "territory invaders" in your body. But be prepared for the fact that the doctor will not give you a referral for free tests. The fact is that doctors do not accept the phrase "Doctor, I want to know if I have parasites, " since insurance companies only pay for the diagnosis and treatment of real, not perceived, problems. And one more disadvantage: in some cases the tests are normal, but there are parasites in the body. . .
In general, seeking medical help does not guarantee 100% success and will cost you quite a bit of money. So, if you suspect the presence of parasites, do the test yourself, at least the two most important ones: feces to detect worm eggs and a smear to detect genital tract infections. These tests will identify those forms of parasitosis that require immediate treatment under the supervision of a doctor.
If the results are negative and you feel generally well, you are most likely healthy and do not need to cleanse your body of parasites. But if you have a number of symptoms that allow you to suspect an infection, then you cannot do without cleaning.
The presence of parasites in the body is indicated by weight loss, abnormal bowel movements, weakness, an unclear deterioration in general health, changes in appetite, and an unhealthy appearance. For the kids: pay attention! – its presence is usually indicated by incomprehensible skin symptoms similar to psoriasis or allergic reactions.
Parasite cleaning methods.
To get rid of parasites, you can practice cleansing methods. Medicines, herbs, birch tar - cleansing the body can be done by different means. Below are the ones available at home.
Cleanse the body with mineral water.
This harsh recipe was used several decades ago not only in folk medicine, but also in official medicine. Using mineral water, a strict diet and sometimes laxatives, they "chased" the tapeworms. The method was mostly effective, but difficult because patients received almost no food for up to 2 weeks.
Clean the body with tar.
Tar is a good remedy against external parasites: lice, scabies mites. Any doctor will confirm it. Some unofficial sources add that you can dilute it with water and take it orally to expel the worms from the intestines.
Alternative medicine sources claim that it is completely safe to take birch tar: the body is cleansed in a matter of days and the product also has other effects, including anti-cancer. However, it should be noted that official medicine does not approve its oral administration. In addition, several years ago it was revealed that prolonged treatment with tar does not cure tumors, but, on the contrary, increases the number of cases of skin and mucosal cancer.
Teas to cleanse the body.
There are several herbs that have a paralyzing effect on helminths and have a laxative effect. They are widely used in cleaning practice. For example, these are wormwood, pumpkin seeds, St. John's wort, sea buckthorn, cloves, green walnuts, black walnuts, etc. From them, separately or mixed in different proportions, teas are prepared to cleanse the body, which are taken in a course of up to a month.
Preparations and dietary supplements.
A number of dietary supplements based on antiparasitic plants have been created. They can also be used in cleaning.
How effective is parasite cleansing?
This article does not list all existing methods to rid the body of parasites. There are recommendations for cleaning with coconut milk, garlic, spices and hundreds of other products. But, to tell the truth, they are ineffective.
In reality, even the recipes described above do not always guarantee a parasite-free life. The effect depends on the characteristics of the organism, its susceptibility to certain drugs and the parasite itself (some, and also if they inhabit the body in large quantities, are very difficult to eliminate). The state of immunity plays a very important role: the weaker it is, the more pleasantly and for a longer time the "squatters" will use the resources of the owner's body.
To increase your chances of cleansing success, it's important to first strengthen your immune system. Taking an immunomodulator based on unique protein molecules will help increase the body's defenses and avoid the side effects of massive "cleansing". If you decide to resort to medication (and this, no matter what they say, is the most effective option), the remedy will help reduce the consequences of its harmful effects on the liver and other organs.
And finally: even when you get rid of parasites, don't relax. Immunity against them lasts at most a year, or even less. After this, you will be vulnerable to them again. So lead a lifestyle that minimizes the possibility of infection and do not forget to periodically repeat the cycles of an immunomodulator, which will make you more resistant not only to parasitosis, but also to any disease in general.
