Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hi everyone... I know this is long... But it seemed too good to pass up... Enjoy, Misty L. Trepke http://www..com Parasites Most people believe that parasites are something that happens to very poor people living in squalor. None of want to admit that we might have parasites. If you live on planet Earth can't avoid them even if you only breathe the air you can minimize their growth and facilitate your own defenses. Parasites are present in food and water and can cause disease. Ranging in size from tiny, single-celled organisms to worms visible to the naked eye, parasites are more and more frequently being identified as causes of foodborne illness in the United States. The illnesses they can cause range from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly death. Parasites could be a cofactor in almost every illness. Specific parasites have been found to be associated with almost every disease or illness. What are parasites? Parasites are organisms that derive nourishment and protection from other living organisms known as hosts. They may be transmitted from animals to humans, from humans to humans, or from humans to animals. Parasites have emerged as significant causes of foodborne and waterborne disease. These organisms live and reproduce within the plant and animal tissues and organs of infected human and animal hosts, and are often excreted in feces. Parasites are of different types and range in size from tiny, single-celled, microscopic organisms (protozoa) to larger, multi-cellular worms (helminths) that may be seen without a microscope. There are 3200 varieties of parasites in the four major categories, Protozoa, Trematoda, Cestoda and Nematoda. How do we get parasites? They may be transmitted from host to host through consumption of contaminated food and water, or by putting anything into your mouth that has touched the stool (feces) of an infected person, animal plant or food. Parasites are often carried into the house on our shoes and become a part of our carpeting. Parasites enter our homes through the spoiled food purchased at the supermarket (remember the moldy or rotted berry or fruit?). What do parasites do? Parasites are responsible for many health problems because they secrete toxins and steal the vital nutrients from our bodies. They can irritate or exaggerate other health problems you may be experiencing. Everyone is at risk and under their mercy during parasitic infections. We create the perfect living environment for parasites when our stomach acids are neutralized with our medications or the flora is destroyed by antibiotics, or when our bowels becomes ineffective in the elimination of our waste products. The build-up of fecal material on the walls of the colon is attributed to constipation and the amounts of junk foods, chemicals, bad fats and sweets we consume and a lack of fiber in our diet that would otherwise cleanse us naturally. We poison ourselves from our own toxic waste and the waste from these creatures (autointoxication) when this ideal habitat for is created. Testing for parasites are only available for about five percent of the known varieties with twenty-percent accuracy. A bloated gut and gas is often a major sign that our body has become a vat of parasites. Leaky gut syndrome is a sign that the parasites have begun to eat through out intestinal track. All types of cancer cases are afflicted with worms that often lump together and look like tumors. Female worms can release 3,000 to 200,000 eggs per day depending on their type. This is a topic that most people do not want to discuss, let alone think about, but now reality must be faced. Some conditions that promote parasitic infections are excess mucus, an imbalance in the intestinal flora, chronic constipation, and a toxic internal environment. The nose is supposed to act as a natural airway for respiration and the main inlet for oxygen. It also acts as an air conditioner, by filtering, moistening and warming the air that is breathed. The hairs and mucus membranes help prevent dust from entering the rest of the respiratory tract. The nose is responsible for smell and gives your voice its own characteristic tone. Problems associated with the nose are sinus (sinusitis, an inflammation), nasal polyp and tumors. These can cause restrictions in the nasal passage hinder the amount of oxygen needed. The bones surrounding the nose contain honeycomb (air filled cavities between the outer and inner layers of the skull) known as the facial sinuses. These comprise of 2 frontal, one sphenoid, 2 ethmoidal and 2 maxillary sinuses. Each sinus drains mucus into the nasal passages through tiny ducts or channels. Sinus inflammation or infections can be caused by an abscess in an upper tooth or from bacteria and viruses. Parasites or candida can also take up residence in all those little nooks and crannies, and they are the hardest to eliminate. After time, the sinuses can become encrusted in toxic matter like in the colon. Mycoplasmas infecting the sinus will cause a drainage with a bad nasal odors. Swabbing the inside of the nose with a drop or two of Oil of Oregano on an ear swab will help. I use a drop of Oil of Oregano for post nasal drip or a scratchy throat. A simple test: Most people take Tums or some type of acid reducing medication when they experience distress in their gut. If the distress is caused by parasites, the medication is a blessing for them because it reduces the acid that would ordinarily destroy the parasites. Instead of your anti-acids, take several ounces of concentrated liquid acidophilus. If you have acid indigestion, which is somewhat rare these days, you'll not feel better. However, in most instances the acidophilus will make you feel better because the problem is parasitic in origin and not an overproduction of acid. If the acidophilus helps, stop taking anti-acids because that's not the problem. The probiotic organisms in the acidophilus will immediately consume the parasites causing the distress. Most indigestion isn't what you think it is and won't benefit from what most people do unless it is in the advanced stages of gut deterioration. The anti-acids reduce the pain of a damaged gut. The cure is a good probiotic. How can we get rid of parasites? Getting rid of all parasites is absolutely impossible using clinical medicines that can kill only one or two parasites each. Such medicines also tend to make you quite ill. Imagine taking 10 such drugs to kill a dozen of your parasites! Good news, perhaps, for the drug makers but not for you. The problem with all antibiotics is that they are responsible for a subsequent overgrowth of parasites because they destroy all of the friendly bacteria that feed on and reduce the numbers of parasites. In addition to probiotics, three herbs can rid you of over 100 types of parasites! And without so much as a headache! Without nausea! Without any interference with any drug that you are already on! Does this sound too fantastic? Just too good to be true? They are natures gift to us. The herbs are: Black Walnut Hulls (from the black walnut tree) Wormwood (from the Artemisia shrub) Common Cloves (from the clove tree) These three herbs should be used together for maximum benefit. Black walnut hull and wormwood kill adults and developmental stages of at least 100 parasites. Cloves kill the eggs. Only if you use them together will you rid yourself of parasites. If you kill only the adults, the tiny stages and eggs will soon grow into new adults. If you kill only the eggs, the million stages already loose in your body will soon grow into adults and make more eggs. They must be used together as a single treatment. " Where can we get those herbs? Most health food and whole food stores sell what is variously called " wormwood complex " or " black walnut complex " . I take five capsules a day for a week during the first month at bedtime. During the next month or at least 3 weeks later, I take 5 capsules once a week for four weeks (usually on a Saturday, for example or the same day each time to help me remember). Then, on the following week, I take 5 capsules each night for a week... A good way to kill parasites is to combine it with bowel or colon cleanse. I usually take a colon cleanse during each change of the season (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter). Here are some standard Parasite killing herbs: Green Hull Black Walnut Hulls, Cloves, Wormwood (Artemisia absynthium), Garlic, Pumpkin Seeds, Cayenne pepper, Goldenseal, Sage, Thyme, Fennel, Male Fern, Cranberry Powder, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Apple kernel, olive leave extract, apple seeds,... Tapeworm and Ascaris Lumbricoides program: -Improved parasite program: The herbal parasite program has been known to be insufficient with tapeworms and Ascaris. Coenzyme Q-10 in a one time high dose will kill most tapeworms. 3000 mg of Coenzyme Q-10 or more to get rid of tapeworms and Ascaris. ozonated olive oil and L-cysteine. This will kill any parasites left over except for the ones in so-called 'diverticulas' (pockets in the lower colon). The active ingredients of the parasite program are too weak by the time they reach the lower colon to kill the parasites in those pockets. They must finally be killed with a Black Walnut Hull Extra Strength formula or a good colon cleanse formula... Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil is also a broad spectrum anti-parasitic for topical purposes. I use tea tree toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant and the oil on scratches and cuts. How to Prevent and Reduce Parasites A strong healthy immune system is the best defense against parasites. Some of the things you can do to reduce the risk of parasitic infections are: 1. Wash all fruits and vegetables. Scrape off the wax substance on the outer surface on any fruit or vegetable with a knife before washing. Anything with a nick or recess can harbor just about anything and should be cut out. Avoid eating grapes with open splits. Washing in clean water, hydrogen peroxide (1teaspoon per gallon of water), or bleach (add 1/2 teaspoon to each gallon and soak for 10 minutes) will kill parasites. Rinse well after to remove bleach residue. Some prefer to wash them in chlorinated water, but these things are organic in nature. Chlorine and organics do not go well together because of the carcinogenic compounds that are produced. 2. Thoroughly cook meats and fish. Do not eat raw or uncooked meats or fish. Check for worms, especially on fish. Spray with hydrogen peroxide or wash in water before cooking. Keep all work surfaces clean. 3. Drink pure water. Parasites are associated with many water-borne outbreaks and are highly resistant to conventional methods of disinfecting. Water that is properly purified with ozone is free of parasites. 4. Practice good personal hygiene. Wash your hands before eating and after going to the bathroom, changing diapers, or handling pets. Keep your fingernails short and clean. Parasites can live for two months under the fingernails. 5. Keep your living environment clean. Breathing the dust in your house can contain human skin, soil particles, or fecal material from dust mites and cockroaches. An easy test to determine if this is a problem is by looking across the room when the sunlight is shining through a window and checking for particles floating in the air. Then let the kids run around for a few minutes and recheck. The elimination of carpets reduces this problem considerably. 6. Do not walk barefoot on warm, moist soil or while working in the garden. Parasites are abundant in soil and can absorb (penetrate) through skin cells. Fertilizers are added to garden soil and it is the pets favorite place to go. Use gloves and shoes for protection. 7. Avoid swimming in rivers, lakes, ponds, or public swimming pools. Avoid swallowing or drinking the water while swimming anywhere. Avoid swimming if cuts or open sores are present. 8. If pets are infested with parasites, deworm and keep them outside. You are at a higher risk in contracting worms when pets are allowed indoors. Dogs and cats are host to many parasites that humans can contract. Garlic added to their food will help control some parasites. Animals can spread 240 diseases to humans because of parasites. 9. Overuse of antibiotics. Reducing the numbers of friendly bacteria in the colon allows for the proliferation of parasites. 10. Global travel. Ten years ago, you might have been at a higher risk for parasite infections when traveling to another country. Today, you may be at a higher risk to infection by staying home. 11. Use more cloves with every meal. Adding some cloves to foods will help kill the eggs from parasites in the intestinal tract. Cloves added to coffee or herbal teas adds a little different taste. Your best defense is knowledge; knowing the enemy and the harm they cause. The most effective treatment or cleansing product for the elimination of parasites in the large intestine is to cleanse the colon. http://www.dpd.cdc.gov/dpdx/HTML/Para_Health.htm SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month!
