Parasites in the human body

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headache, insomnia, which indicates intoxication.

How to get rid of parasites

What are parasites?These are animals, plants or microorganisms that live at the expense of their owner.They feed on its cells or tissues, using vitamins and nutrients that should have been used to build the host's body cells.Parasites also poison the body with substances they release during their life processes.

In medicine, only multicellular and protozoan parasites are called human parasites, while viruses and bacteria are classified as pathogens.Let's look at what types of parasites there are in the human body, the symptoms of their presence and the treatment with folk remedies.

Types of parasites in the human body and where they live

Both protozoan and multicellular parasites can be found in or on the human body.If the parasite lives on the skin, then it is called an ectoparasite;this type includes lice, bed bugs and the causative agent of scabies.Endoparasites are protozoa (giardia, amoebae), helminths (worms, tapeworms) or insect larvae that can live in human organs and tissues.

Each parasite develops in a certain part of the human body, where the living conditions are most suitable.Some parasites, depending on the stage of development, migrate (move) in the body from one organ to another.Ectoparasites live on the skin, and endogenous can be found in the intestines, muscles, blood, heart, lungs, liver, and even in nervous tissues.

A person can become infected with parasites in different ways.This is due to the development cycle of a certain type of parasite.Thus, there are several ways for the parasite to enter the host's body.Through contaminated food and water.In addition, in some cases it becomes contaminated during storage and preparation;flies and cockroaches also contribute to this.And sometimes food can be contaminated from the beginning, for example, when thermally poorly processed fish or meat from infected animals is used for cooking.

A contact-household route is when parasites are transmitted from one person to another, through household items or pets.

Transmissive route when parasites are carried by blood-sucking insects.

Some parasite larvae, once they get on human skin, are able to gnaw through it themselves and penetrate the body.For example, the larva of the human skin fly, which causes dermatobiosis.

Symptoms of infection of the human body by parasites

The symptoms that appear during infection can be different, they are often related to the location of the parasite.In this way, ectoparasites cause damage to the skin.If the parasite lives in the lungs, the patient may experience coughing and shortness of breath.When parasites are detected in the intestines, there are digestive disorders, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting and many others.

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headache, insomnia, which indicates intoxication.Allergic reactions often occur, leading to dermatitis, skin rashes and even bronchial asthma.

Intestinal parasitesThey use nutrients from food for their growth and development.Because of this, the human body begins to experience a shortage of them.This is especially dangerous for children, as their growth slows down and their physical and mental development is impaired.

Parasites are well adapted, can live for years in the same organism, and their eggs and larvae have considerable resistance to the environment.In the digestive organs, in order to protect themselves, parasites can secrete special substances that inactivate enzymes and disrupt the process of food digestion.Therefore, in a patient with intestinal parasites, the symptoms often resemble diseases of the digestive system.

Why are helminths dangerous?

Helminths are worms, they can be small in size or reach a length of 7-10 meters.Sometimes the development cycle of helminths is such that a person becomes infected with them again.The first part of the cycle takes place in the intestines, and upon re-infection, the eggs penetrate the muscles, lungs, liver and kidneys.

The most common helminths in humans are parasitic in the intestines, gall bladder, ducts and liver and cause:

• ascariasis, the larvae migrate through the liver into the lungs and again enter the intestines, where the adult individual develops;
• opisthorchosis, most often affects the liver, can lead to cancer or cirrhosis;
• cestodosis - a tapeworm infection that occurs when eating thermally poorly processed meat and fish;
• Tapeworms live a long time and reach huge sizes.Very dangerous is the pig tapeworm, whose eggs penetrate the blood vessels and can migrate to the muscles and brain;
• schistosomiasis, caused by flukes and flatworms;
• toxocarosis, difficult to detect, can affect the eyes and nervous tissues, often causes allergic reactions;
• Echinococcosis – Echinococci parasitize the liver and lungs.

There are also diseases that are rarer.These are trichinellosis, fascioliasis, enterobiosis, echinostomosis, etc.

There are several ways to treat parasites in the human body using folk remedies.Some are used against specific parasites, others help get rid of a whole group of parasitic infections, and still others help to cleanse organs and systems.Let's take a closer look at how to get rid of specific parasites in the body using folk remedies.

How to get rid of protozoa and protozoan parasites

The most common protozoan parasites are:

• round worm;
• amoebae, lamblia, blastocysts, balantidia, leishmania and others parasitizing the intestine;
• Trypanosomes, pathogens of malaria and babesia are detected in the blood;
• in the genitourinary system - Trichomonas, the infection occurs through sexual contact;
• in the heart, liver, brain and eyes - toxoplasma (the infection most often occurs in cats, affects the nervous tissue and causes early abortions), trypanosomes, Naegleria Fowler, acanthamoeba.

It has been noted that parasites really do not like hot peppers and aromatic herbs, so if you cook food, seasoning it with onions, horseradish, garlic and use cinnamon and cloves in baking, this can help in the fight against parasites.

Cranberry Juice Cleanse.Do enemas - 2 liters of water, 2 tablespoons of cranberry juice and one tablespoon of salt, twice a day.Helps with protozoan parasites and helminths.

Cleansing enemas with garlic.For this purpose, 6-7 cloves of garlic are boiled in milk and a cleansing enema is made with this solution.

Treatment of giardiasis

6. Pomegranate bark Helps against tapeworms.You should infuse it with boiling water and drink 1 teaspoon before meals.
7. Coriander - the seeds should be fried and ground.Take 1 gram of powder for 5 days.

How to get rid of ectoparasites

The most common ectoparasites are:

• lice (head, pubic, body lice);
• bed bugs;
• scabies itching;
• demodex (live in eyebrows and eyelashes).

Of course, these parasites are more often transmitted through things, and you can get rid of them only if you follow the rules of hygiene.But traditional medicine recommends kerosene, vinegar with salt, decoction of burdock and wormwood to destroy lice.You can also use a mixture of mint with pomegranate or cranberry juice.

To treat scabies, use a mixture of lard, laundry soap, and sulfur.You can also lubricate the skin with black powder with sour cream or a mixture of garlic, onion and laundry soap.

General cleansing of the entire organism from parasites by traditional methods

How to get rid of parasites in the human body using folk remedies?There are three plants that purify the body and eliminate both protozoan parasites and helminths - these are the bark of green walnuts, wormwood and cloves.

1. Cleaning from parasites with walnut shells.Take 15 nuts, remove the green skin, pour 500 g of vodka and leave for a month.Take 1 drop in half a glass of water, increasing the dose by a drop each day for 5 days, then increase the dose to 2 teaspoons twice a day, and then 2 teaspoons a day for a year.
2. Cleaning with wormwood.Grind dry seeds.Start taking it with a pinch of powder a day, gradually increasing the dose to half a teaspoon by the 15th day.Then take half a teaspoon a day for a week, you can divide it into several doses and then use the same dose once a week.
3. Cleansing with cloves.Grind the seeds into a powder.Taking the powder should start from 1.5 teaspoons, reducing the dose to one spoon in 10 days.

In the absence of these components, purification from parasites can be carried out with dried ayre, tansy seeds and calendula.Cleansing the body of parasites with the help of folk remedies should be done with a parallel cleansing of the intestines and liver.

How to cleanse the intestines

Cleansing the intestines of parasites is no less important.Simple methods can help with this.

1. Fermented milk diet.For 2 days you can drink kefir and eat brown bread biscuits.
2. Fruit cleanse.Grind apricots, figs, prunes and raisins in equal proportions through a meat grinder and mix with honey (200 g).Take one tablespoon of the mixture at night.

4. Aloe with lemon.Mix 1 tablespoon of aloe and olive oil with the juice of one lemon, take on an empty stomach.

Liver cleansing

Many types of parasites live in the liver and bile ducts of the human body.It is difficult to expel them from there, since the drugs are often toxic to the liver itself.That is why the use of folk cleansers is especially important.

1. Collecting medicinal herbs.Boil a mixture of equal parts of oak bark, chamomile, tansy and sea buckthorn.Take 100 ml on an empty stomach for 5 days.Then cleanse the liver once a week.
2. Beetroot drink.Finely chop three beets, add 2 tablespoons of flour, half a kilogram of sugar, keep the mixture in a dark place for two days, shake occasionally.Then add 1 liter of water, half a kilogram of raisins and a kilogram of sugar.Mix and mash.Drink a tablespoon before meals;the course can be repeated after 3 months.

Cleanse with fresh vegetable and fruit juices.It is useful to drink juices from carrots, cucumbers, beets, parsley or a mixture of them every day on an empty stomach.Drink the juice of one lemon with half a glass of water 2 times a day for 15 days.And apple juice is taken 1 cup before meals for a week, after which 3 days of therapeutic fasting or rather a diet are required.You can drink fresh apple juice only a few times a day.

How to quickly get rid of parasites in the liver and body, at home

Parasites, based on medical parasitology, are all creatures that live at the expense of their host.

Viruses and bacteria are exceptions.

Parasites are divided into protozoa and helminths.

Protozoa provoke giardiasis, toxoplasmosis, malaria, trichomoniasis and other diseases.Helminths are the source of ascariasis, echinococcosis, enterobiosis and other diseases.

The properties of harmful microorganisms include the following:

• complete dependence on the owner;
• threat to human health and normal functioning;
• close relationship with the owner over a period of time.

Types of parasitic organisms

Two types of parasites are commonly found in the human body:

• Ascaris are round worms up to 40 centimeters long.Adults live in the small intestine and move quietly through it;their lifespan is one year;
• broad tapeworm - tapeworm or tapeworm.They live in the human intestine and live up to 25 years.

Giardia, staphylococci, streptococci and pinworms are sometimes found.

How does the infection occur?

1. Drinking contaminated tap water.The size of some types of parasites allows them to pass through a simple filter.
2. Dirty or unwashed vegetables and fruits (mostly exotic) contribute to infection.
3. Contact with pets.Infection is possible even if the animal is at a distance of five meters (parasites are transmitted through saliva and air).
4. Blood-sucking insects are carriers of harmful microorganisms.
5. Some types of parasites are transmitted by airborne droplets or by shaking hands.
6. Contaminated meat products that have not undergone high-quality heat treatment become the cause of infection.
7. The main source of parasites is raw fish.

Symptoms and signs

Parasites spread throughout the body through the circulatory and lymphatic systems.They can be found in every organ.They usually accumulate in the intestines, liver, bile ducts and kidneys.

The main signs of the presence of harmful microorganisms in the body include the following:

• bowel dysfunction - a person suffers from frequent constipation or diarrhea;
• discomfort in the stomach and intestines, possible bloating and flatulence;
• sudden weight loss, at the same time there is an increase in appetite (sometimes severe obesity occurs);
• reduced immunity;
• a feeling of constant fatigue, anxiety and a person begins to feel depressed;

• yellowing of the whites of the eyes;
• bad breath;
• vertigo;
• bruises under the eyes;
• hair and nails become brittle;
• the patient has skin problems - acne, dermatosis, dermatitis;congestion appears at the corners of the mouth and cracks on the heels.

How to recognize

1. It is necessary to do a stool test to detect worm eggs.It is recommended to repeat this analysis 2-3 times, since the process of excretion of feces may coincide with the moment when the parasites have not yet laid eggs.
2. A blood test to check for antibodies that the body produces to kill parasites.This method gives results only in the later stages of the disease.

Preparation for cleaning

A few days before the body gets rid of the parasites, you should switch to a diet that will ease the work of the gastrointestinal tract.

1. It is necessary to reduce the diet of meat products.
2. Eat more fiber-rich vegetables.
3. Increase the content of vegetables, dairy products, seeds, algae, vegetables and fruits in your diet.It is believed that parasites cannot tolerate red and green foods.

Cleaning at home

The first method is cleansing the body with drugs.Medicines must be prescribed by the attending physician.

Medicines have a strong toxic effect and have a number of contraindications.After treatment, it is worth taking a course to strengthen the immune system.

The second method is cleaning with folk remedies.These methods have a sparing effect on the body and have fewer contraindications.

But before resorting to treatment, you should consult your doctor.Tips for getting rid of parasites from the body can be used for safe prevention.

Traditional methods

6. Pumpkin seeds are a delicious treat.They are also an effective means of expelling parasites.

   Pumpkin seeds should be sprinkled with salted water, then heated in a pan or fried in a small amount of vegetable oil, adding salt.The treat is eaten independently of the meal.

Complications and consequences

Parasites negatively affect the host.They gradually poison the body with waste products and reduce human immunity.

After cleansing from harmful microorganisms, the following reactions are possible:

• allergy;
• immune deficiency;
• decreased hemoglobin levels;
• chronic diseases of organs in which harmful microorganisms are found.

Parasites have a negative impact on the condition of children.

They cause retardation in physical and mental development, memory impairment and delayed sexual development.

Who should not cleanse?

Parasites cannot be removed at home in the following situations:

• patients with heart diseases (history of heart attack, stroke);
• in oncological tumors;
• during exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• patients with acute kidney and liver failure;
• people suffering from ulcers, gastritis;
• during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• for colds.

Parasites cause many problems and harm the health of the owner.A person can live with harmful microorganisms for many years and not even realize it.
