Parasites in Humans

HOW COMMON ARE PARASITES?

 

Most people are not aware of the danger to their health posed by

parasites; nevertheless, if one looks in the right places, one can

find a lot of literature on the subject of parasites and the harmful

effects they can produce.

 

Well over 80% of patients we check have some type of parasite or

bacteria and the slight inflammation of the abdomen, and unrelated

pains and aches which indicate the presence of parasites.

 

For instance, in a pamphlet put out by a medical manufacturer in

America, we read: " Colon therapy has an anthelmintic action (this

means parasites are removed). We find that over 90% of the people we

examine in our clinics have some form of parasites. The most common of

all are tapeworms. Our skilled technicians report seeing green, brown,

grey, yellow and white ones, and various combinations. Patients report

seeing pieces of tapeworm in the toilet bowl, varying from a few

inches to a few feet. (The longest one reported was 57 inches.)

Various other parasites are seen, including hook worms pin worms, whip

worms and many other exotic forms. Tapeworms are usually beef, pork or

fish variety.

 

Many Vegetarians also have various parasites. Their eggs may be eaten

with vegetables or fruit. Thread worms and hook worms may pass through

the unbroken skin - they are sometimes picked up when one walks

through the grass. "

 

In New Zealand, a large full page advertisement for " Combantrin " (a

commercial worm preparation), shows a small girl handing a pencil to a

classmate. The caption reads:

" The simple act of passing a pencil, sharing a book, using the same

doorknob, or even sharing a house with untreated adults is all that is

required for parasites to spread - No matter how clean your child may

be, and no matter how careful you are. The symptoms caused by

parasites may include: Loss of appetite, anal and vulval itching and

scratching, disturbed sleep, occasional bed-wetting in younger

children. These may seem like common occurrences in childhood, but

unfortunately this is because the parasite problem is a common one. "

 

We once told one of our patients that we thought her daily migraines

were caused by parasites in her intestines. She was not surprised by

this, and she said she had just returned from Europe where she had

taken her children to a doctor. The children had been restless and had

indigestion. The doctor told her that he felt the children had

pin-worms, and it was the parasites which were causing the symptoms.

She told the doctor that she thought it was impossible for her

children to have parasites, as she insisted on the highest standard of

hygiene. She had not seen any sign of worms in her children's clothes

or in their beds. But, the doctor insisted, and told her that over 90%

of people in that part of Europe had parasites of one kind or another

- so she should not feel ashamed or surprised that her children also

had parasites.

 

Our diagnosis was correct, and when she took the herbs, her migraines

and other aches soon disappeared. Yet, this patient had been to a

number of doctors, and none of them had been able to do anything to

relieve her headaches.

 

In an interview recorded in a health publication, Dr. William Kelley,

famous cancer specialist says:

 

" I find parasites in 92% of people. Everybody - rich and poor - the

whole population have parasites. It is not restricted to lower classes

at all. Pets are great carriers of parasites. Also, vegetables may

carry parasitic organisms.

 

" One day I had a lady who was a little over 5 feet tall and weighed

300 pounds! She was on a 400 to 500 calorie diet and starving to

death. I said to her, `You've got so many worms, all you're absorbing

is the water!'

 

" This horrified her! Most people are upset at the thought of having

worms. She started a bottle of special supplements I gave her, but

nothing happened. So, she went to her family doctor who took a stool

culture, but could not find anything

 

" The lady decided to finish the herbs by taking it regularly as

directed. One night she was lying in her bed, and she felt a tickling

in her throat and thought it is mucous. She went to the bathroom and

coughed it up, put it in a Kleenex

and turned the light one. The scream she let out woke up her husband,

and what they found in the tissue was the head and two more inches of a

tapeworm which had come up in her throat. Lots of times, particularly

in children, the tapeworm will come through the nose looking for some

more to eat.

 

" Parasites mimic a lot of disease. Like heart trouble. I found this

once in a nurse who had suffered with all kinds of heart trouble and

went to doctors for years, whenever she had these heart spells. I said

to her " You should have gone to the vet. " She asked why? I said,

" Because you have heart worms. "

She took her herbs and never had any more trouble.

 

" Most stomach aches and colitis could have a parasite involvement.

Liver damage and liver trouble can often be caused by worms. Sometimes

a colony of worms will crawl up in the gall bladder and give you

trouble. This can be the trouble with overweight people. The worms are

being well fed. The body is only getting the water and the calories

but a fraction of the nutrients. "

 

In a Nutritional Almanac printed by McGraw-Hill and reproduced in part

below, we read " worms irritate the intestinal lining and therefore

cause poor absorption of nutrients. " Signs of worms may include

diarrhea, hunger pains, appetite loss, weight loss and anemia.

 

In " The Miami Herald " dateline June 25, 1978 (just 23 years ago!) an

article appeared titled " Worms Outrank Cancer as Man's Deadliest

Enemy " . It reads:

 

" One of every four people in the world is infected with roundworms,

which cause fever, cough and intestinal problems. A quarter of the

worlds people have hookworms, which can cause anemia and abdominal

pain. Another third of a billion people suffer from abdominal pain and

diarrhea caused by whipworms. "

The longest tapeworm was 57 inches

 

Hookworms are often picked up by walking barefoot in the grass

 

Not much research is being done on these diseases (i.e. parasite

related diseases). The U.S. spends more than $US800 million a year on

cancer research. All the nations in the world combined spend less than

one twentieth that amount studying parasitic diseases.

 

Of the amount of money spent on Cancer research, one thing is agreed

upon - that toxins and poisons in the body cause chronic irritation of

tissues which results in cancer. There is also plenty of other

evidence that cancer of internal structures such as organs or other

tissues is caused by chronic irritation of the cells by toxins in the

body.

 

 

 

Almost all the books written by (so called) " quacks " claim that cancer

can be cured by cleansing the body and ridding it of parasites and

toxins. In other words, once the tissues stop being irritated by

excessive quantities of toxins in the blood, the cancer not only stops

proliferating, but may actually disappear altogether if the treatment

is started in time. (Note that only the medical profession attempts to

treat cancer by introducing more toxic drugs to the body.)

AMOEBA, WORMS AND OTHER INTESTINAL PARASITES

Worms and Parasites

 

There are several types of parasitic worms which can live in human

intestines, the most common being pinworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and

roundworms.

 

Worms irritate the intestinal lining and therefore, cause poor

absorption of nutrients. Signs of worms often include diarrhea, hunger

pains, appetite loss, weight loss, and anemia. Diagnosis can be made

by examining the stools, or occasionally by inducing the vomiting of

worms. The extent of intestinal damage is then determined by the type

of worm, the size of the worm, and the number of worms present.

 

Pin worms are the most common parasitic worm in the United States. The

chief symptom of this small, threadlike worm is rectal itching,

especially at night. Pinworms are transmitted when the eggs, which

lodge under the fingernails when a person scratches, contaminate food.

Personal hygiene is most important for the control of pinworms.

 

Tapeworms can be contracted from eating insufficiently cooked meats,

especially beef, pork and fish. The most common tapeworm in the United

States is the beef tapeworm, which can grow to a length of 15 to 20

feet in the intestines.

 

Hookworms are often found in the soil or sand in moderate climates. They

can enter the body by boring holes in the skin of bare fee, or can

enter the mouth if food contaminated by dirty hands is eaten.

 

Roundworms are most common in children. These worms can leave the

intestines and settle in different areas of the body, causing diseases

such as pneumonia, jaundice or seizures.

 

When a person is afflicted with worms, the body's supply of all

nutrients is depleted to the point that supplementation of all

nutrients is necessary to restore normal health. Nutrients of special

importance are Vitamin A, the B complex, especially Thiamin,

Riboflavin, B6, B12, and Pantothenic Acid; Vitamins C, D and K and

Calcium, Iron and protein.

Dietary Deficiency

 

Animals kept on diets deficient in protein or vitamins A, B1, B2,

Biotin, Folic Acid or other nutrients have been infested with many

types of parasites, including trichinae, obtained from undercooked

pork; and trichomonas, which can grow in the lungs or intestines as

readily as in around the vagina. When these same parasites have been

repeatedly implanted in healthy animals however, infestations have not

occurred as long as the diet has been adequate.

 

If a deficient diet is not improved and the parasites are killed by

medication, herbals or electro-medical means, re-infestation quickly

occurs, but they gradually die out when the diet is made highly

nutritious. Both parasites and worms infest animals deficient in

Vitamin A, whereas well-fed controls remain free of infestation. The

entire intestines may also be filled with worms when animals are

allowed to eat too little of an excellent diet to obtain the nutrients

they need, and if the worms are destroyed by medication, the animals

died of infections in the intestines.

 

Although intestinal parasites are surprisingly common, there are no

known studies showing the effect of dietary improvement on humans

infested with them. It is known that a high intake of refined foods,

particularly sweets, which supply little or no nutrient yet satisfy

the appetite, cause individuals to

become susceptible to pinworms which thrive on sugar.

 

Research indicates that in any type of parasitic infestation however,

the diet should be unusually adequate and refined foods strictly

avoided. Yogurt or acidophilus milk, or culture, appears to be

specially helpful in cases of amebic dysentery and perhaps all

intestinal infestations, and every effort should be made to maintain

normal stomach acid which destroys many parasites obtained from food.

 

Other researchers have shown that parasites are particularly

susceptible to a variety of herbs which are lethal only to these

organisms. To date, there is no known " cure-all " herb which kills all

stages of a parasites larvae and eggs. As described, poisons and

toxins in the body irritate the tissues, setting the stage for cancer.

These same toxins also seem to allow the parasites to breed outside of

their normal, natural, life cycle which usually involves leaving the

host's body. It seems that with the increase in environmental

pollution, the parasites, in the presence of pollutants, can complete

their life cycle within the host's body.

 

Any anti-parasitic treatment must effectively kill all stages of

parasite development, and must continue on beyond the normal

incubation period of the eggs. Any short term treatment, (such as

commercial preparations are) - cannot be effective. Commercial

treatments usually focus on intestinal parasites, and adult worms

only. As has been described above, parasites can crawl into the liver,

pancreas, brain, lungs, heart, eyeballs - in fact any

part of the body. Therefore, a total systemic anti-parasitic system of

treatment is imperative. Such a treatment may involve electro-medical

devices which destroy the parasite electrically, and pure herbal

supplements known to kill all stages of parasite development.

CONCLUSION

 

There are two trains of thought on the matter and cause of cancers,

leukemia, fibroids, HIV AIDS, and other diseases which modern medicine

has yet to find a cure.

 

One train of thought is that modern medicine has the means to cure

disease by introducing toxic and potent drugs which are foreign to the

physiology of any living body - human or animal. Or, surgically remove

the diseased and suffering and dying organ.

 

The other train of thought is to harness the healing power of the body

by removing the source of irritation, and providing nutrients for the

body to build healthy new cells. By stimulating it with naturally

occurring substances, such as are found in pollutant free, steroid

free, hormone free, organically grown foods and herbs, and electricity

- healing is naturally accomplished.
