There is a wonderful and fair joke: "There are no healthy people, there are unresearched". And if we talk about some aspects of health, such as infection with parasites, then this is no longer a joke, but the real truth. According to the WHO, today up to 1 billion people in the worldare infected with parasites (for a minute this is one seventh of the population of the planet)! Among the "classic" parasites - helminths - almost fifty species can live and develop in the body of Homo sapiens. And what about others: lice, unicellular lice (chlamydia, toxoplasma, lamblia), fungi (candida), etc.
Not everyone is infected with parasites. Naturally, among the population of third world countries or the inhabitants of some islands, literally every person suffers 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 their permanent 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 huge numbers in the environment. We just don't see this because 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 distributed in soil, natural waters, on the surface of fruits, vegetables, objects, etc.
As a rule, a person becomes infected with parasites when he does not wash his hands and what he is going to eat particularly thoroughly, or does not prepare food properly (meat, eggs and poultry are infected with parasites).
Don't let your pets down 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 sometimes there.
In general, the person did not wash his hands, ate an undercooked cutlet, stroked the dog - and received not only pleasure, but also an unexpected "friend", who will henceforth eat and live at his expense, and also make him a walking source of infection forhealthy people.
Not a pleasant prospect, is it? And that brings us back to the need for cleaning. 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 all possible and unthinkable tests that will reveal the presence of "territorial invaders" in your body. But be prepared for the fact that the doctor will not give you a referral for free research. The fact is that the wording "Doctor, I want to know if I have parasites" is not accepted by doctors, because insurance companies only pay for the diagnosis and treatment of real, not suspected problems. And one more minus: 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 a lot of money. So, if you suspect the presence of parasites, do your own tests, at least the two most important: stool for worm eggs and pap smear for genital tract infections. These tests will identify those forms of parasitosis that require immediate treatment under the supervision of a physician.
If the results are negative and you feel generally well, then 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, vague deterioration in overall health, changes in appetite and unhealthy appearance. For children - attention! – their presence is often indicated by incomprehensible skin symptoms similar to psoriasis or allergic reactions.
Methods of cleaning from parasites
To get rid of parasites, you can practice cleaning methods. Medicines, herbs, birch tar - the cleansing of the body can be done by various means. Below are the ones available at home.
Cleansing the body with mineral water
This raw recipe was used several decades ago not only in folk medicine, but also in official medicine. With the help of mineral water, a strict diet and sometimes laxatives, they "chased" the tapeworms. The method was mostly effective, but difficult because the patients received almost no food for up to 2 weeks.
Cleaning the body with tar
Tar is a good remedy for external parasites: lice, scabies. Any doctor will confirm this. Some unofficial sources add that you can dilute it with water and take it by mouth to expel worms from the intestines.
Sources of alternative medicine claim that taking birch tar is completely safe: the body is purified in a few days, and the product has other effects, including anticancer. However, it is worth noting that official medicine does not approve its oral administration. In addition, a few years ago it was revealed that long-term treatment with tar does not cure tumors, but on the contrary, increases the number of cases of skin and mucous membrane cancer.
Teas for cleansing the body
There are a number of 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 for cleansing the body, which are taken for a month.
Preparations and nutritional supplements
A number of nutritional supplements have been created based on antiparasitic plants. They can also be used for cleaning.
How effective is the parasite cleanse?
This article does not list all existing methods of ridding the body of parasites. There are recommendations for cleaning with coconut milk, garlic, spices and hundreds of other products. But, to be honest, they are ineffective.
In fact, even those recipes that were mentioned above do not always guarantee a parasite-free life. The effect depends on the characteristics of the organism, its sensitivity to certain drugs and the parasite itself (some, and also if they inhabit the body in large quantities, are very difficult to get rid of). A huge role belongs to the state of immunity: the weaker it is, the more pleasantly and longer the "squatters" will use the resources of the owner's body.
To increase your chances of cleansing success, it is important to first strengthen your immune system. Taking an immunomodulator based on unique protein molecules will help to increase the body's defenses and prevent the side effects of massive "cleansing". If you decide to resort to taking drugs (and this, no matter whatthe most effective option), the drug will help reduce the consequences of their harmful effects on the liver and other organs.
Finally: even when you get rid of the parasites, don't relax. Immunity against them lasts at most a year or even less. Then you will become vulnerable to them again. Therefore, lead a lifestyle that will minimize the possibility of infection, and also do not forget to regularly repeat courses of immunomodulator, which will make you more resistant not only to parasitosis, but also to any disease in general.
