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 1 billion people around the world are infected with parasites (for a minute, this is one seventh of the planet's population)! Only among the "classic" parasites - helminths - almost fifty species can live and thrive in the body of homo sapiens. And others: lice, unicellular lice (chlamydia, toxoplasma, lamblia), fungi (candida) and so on. . .
Not everyone is infected with parasites. Of course, among the population of third world countries or some islanders, literally every person suffers from parasitosis, but the higher the level of well-being and hygiene of a person, the less likely he isto be sick. However, at least once in our lives (and usually much more often) each of us has encountered parasites. Some are their continued 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 quantities in the environment. We simply do not see this, as 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 acquires parasites when he does not wash his hands and what he is going to eat especially thoroughly, or when he does not prepare food properly (meat, eggs and poultry are infected with parasites).
Don't leave your pets behind 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 man did not wash his hands, ate a raw cutlet, petted the dog - and received not only pleasure, but also an unexpected "friend", who will henceforth eat and live at his expense, andit will also make him walk. source of infection for healthy people.
Not a pleasant prospect, is it? And this brings us back to the need for purification. At home, you can practice cleaning the body with tar, various teas, other herbal medicines, etc.
How to recognize the presence of parasites in the body?
Ideally, you should undergo all imaginable and inconceivable tests that will reveal 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 the wording "Doctor, I want to find out if I have parasites" is not accepted by doctors, since insurance organizations pay only for the diagnosis and treatment of real problems, not perceived ones. 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 pretty penny. So, if you suspect the presence of parasites, do the test yourself, at least the two most important: feces for worm eggs and a smear for 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 generally feel good, 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, a vague deterioration of general health, changes in appetite and an unhealthy appearance. For children - pay attention! – their presence is often indicated by incomprehensible skin symptoms similar to psoriasis or allergic reactions.
Methods of cleaning parasites
To get rid of parasites, you can practice cleaning methods. Medicines, herbs, birch tar - cleansing the body can be done with different means. Below are the ones available at home.
Cleansing 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 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 mites. Any doctor will confirm this. Some unofficial sources add that you can dilute it with water and take it orally to flush the worms out of your intestines.
Sources of alternative medicine claim that taking birch tar is completely safe: the body is cleansed in a few days and the product also exhibits 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 discovered that long-term treatment with tar does not cure tumors, but instead increases the number of cases of skin and mucosal cancer.
Body cleansing tea
There are a number of plants 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, 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 in a course of up to a month.
Dietary preparations and supplements
A number of dietary supplements based on antiparasitic plants have been developed. 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 cleansing with coconut milk, garlic, spices and hundreds of other different products. But, to be honest, they are ineffective.
In fact, even those recipes described above do not always guarantee a parasite-free life. The effect depends on the characteristics of the body, its sensitivity to certain drugs and the parasite itself (some, and also if they live in the body in large quantities, are very difficult to get rid of). A big role is played by the state of immunity: the weaker it is, the better 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 increase the body's defenses and prevent side effects from mass "cleansing". If you decide to resort to taking medications (and this, whatever can be said, is the most effective option), the medicine will help reduce the consequences of their harmful effects on the liver and other organs.
And finally: even when you get rid of parasites, don't relax. Immunity to them lasts a maximum of one year, or even less. After that, you will become vulnerable to them again. So, lead a lifestyle that will minimize the possibility of infection, and also do not forget to regularly repeat courses of an immunomodulator, which will make you more resistant not only to parasitosis, but to any disease in general.
