HUMAN PARASITES

Myself and a handful of others, like Dr. Hulda Clark, have spent years

trying to bring the parasite issue to the forefront of preventative &

curative medicine. The good news is the medical field is slowly

training their doctors once again on the health risks of parasites.

Here's a quote from the 1997 edition of Diagnostic Medical

Parasitology. " During the past few years, the field of medical

parasitology has seen some drastic changes, including newly recognized

parasites and an overall increased awareness of parasitic infections.

We have seen organisms, like the microsporidia, change from " unusual

parasitic infection " to being widely recognized as one of the most

important infections in a compromised patient. "

 

I am looking at a medical textbook with over 900 pages describing all

the different human parasites that people can get. I am going to list

the subcategories here so you will get the idea of just how big and

serious this issue is. Most Americans carry parasites and this is

currently a serious health issue. Parasites are not meant to kill you,

they just sit inside you and steal your nutrition. But, when a person

gets weakened from another ailment the parasites can take hold and

become life threatening. This is why EVERYONE with any health disorder

should do an anti-parasite program at least once a year. Twice a year

if you live with animals. People interested in maintaining good health

should also do routine parasite cleansing.

 

SMALL SAMPLE OF HUMAN PARASITES

GIARDIA - infection rates - 2-15% in various parts of the world

Cryptosporidium - Waterborne outbreak in Milwaukee, Wis. in the water

supply in 1993 infected 300,000. Data indicates there are 500 million

cryptosporidium infections worldwide.

 

Genital Protozoa

*TRICHOMONAS - (5 million women and 1 million men in U.S. infected)

 

Nervous System Protozoa

* NAEGLERIA FOWLERI - Closely resembles bacterial meningitis but is a

protozoa found in moist soil and fresh water. Acute suppurative

infection of the brain and meninges.

 

Tissue Protozoa

*ACANTHAMOEBA - These organisms invade the adrenal's, brain, eyes,

kidney, liver, pancreas, skin, spleen, thyroid, and uterus. *

PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII - Recognized in recent years as an important

cause of Pneumonia, particularly in AIDs patients. *TRICHINELLA

SPIRALIS - From ingestion of raw or poorly cooked pork, bear, walrus,

or other carnivores. They go through the lymphatic system to the

muscles and invade the diaphragm, tongue, jaws, neck, biceps and

gastrocnemius. These create cysts which are encapsulated by the host.

In some cases calcification of the cysts occurs. This also causes

weakening of the muscles.

Blood Parasites* MALARIA - 300 million people per year infected. Blood

born parasite transmitted by mosquitoes. It is not epidemic in the

U.S. but is still considered a life threatening ailment for travelers.

* BABESIA SPP. First discovered in Texas cattle in 1888 and is now

recognized as the cause of Texas cattle fever transmitted by ticks.

Severe outbreaks have occurred in the northern U.S. The organism like

Malaria infects the Red Blood Cells. This is potentially fatal.

 

Intestinal Nematodes

*ASCARIS LUMRICOIDES - Largest of the nematodes - Can go up to a foot

in length. " The number of people infected in the world with this

parasite is only second to the number infected with pinworms. " Eggs

hatch in stomach and the larvae invade the intestinal walls. Then they

go to the lungs. Worms may migrate due to stimuli such as fever,

general anesthesia, or other abnormal conditions. This migration can

result in intestinal blockage and infestation of vital organs.

*E. VERMICULARIS - The common pinworm. In most people the only symptom

is an itchy anus, irritability and insomnia. These are very common and

a quote directly from the text reads " You had this infection as a

child, you have it now or you will get it again when you have children " .

*TRICHURIS TRICHIURA - Known as the Whipworm. These are about an inch

long. They are rarely seen in the stool as they are attached to the

intestinal walls. These contribute to anemia as they suck blood and

also cause dysentery.

*HOOKWORMS - Globally 900 million people have these. These little guys

steal valuable iron. They can cause both mental and physical retardation.

*TRICOSTRONHGYLUS SPP. Found in herbivores throughout the world.

Grazing areas are constantly reinfected. Human infection of S.

steroralis is acquired by skin penetration of the filariform larvae

from the soil.

 

Liver & Lung Trematodes or Flukes

*Clonorchis, Opisthorchis and Fasciola are tremadodes that parasitize

the biliary ducts and gall bladders of humans. Over 40 million people

have acquired food borne trematode infections. Infections occur from

Raw fish or uncooked water plants. Carried by dogs, cats and other

fish eating animals.

*PARAGONIMUS SPP. - Found in the lungs of carnivores and humans first

detected in 1828. Light infestations are asymptomatic, although lung

lesions may be noted on X-ray examination. Sometimes mistaken for

cancer of the lungs. Eventually chronic cough develops with blood

tinged sputum and vague chest pains. Estimates are 22 million people

worldwide have these.

Blood Trematodes or Flukes

*SCHISTOSOMES have infected more than 200 million people worldwide.

The spleen can become congested and increase in size. These can travel

all over the body to most organs and can even cause seizures when they

get into the brain. They have been reported to invade the spinal cord.

 

Believe me, I have spared you the real gory details. If this is not

enough for you, I have some great links at the bottom of this page you

can explore for more information and pictures! This is just a small

sample of human parasites that are common. Many parasites are passed

back and forth from your pets and livestock, so it is important to

worm them as well. Other parasitic infections you pick up from

contaminated water, food, insect bites, walking on the ground... They

are just everywhere and something you have to understand as a reality.

They simply need to be detoxed on a regular basis if you want to stay

healthy.

 

Many diseases in this country are misdiagnosed and treated without the

first thought that there may be a parasitic connection. This, in my

opinion, should be the first problem treated in all patients. To be

fair here, I do have to explain that because our current medical

system is not designed to treat anything without a clinical/laboratory

diagnosis, it is virtually impossible at this time for the lab work to

be done on all the various parasites. I originally worked in

parasitology years ago and checked parasites in stool samples for the

Department of Immigration in Canada. Stool testing is very labor

intensive and requires a technician to spend at least 1/2 hour per

sample. There is simply not the man power to do this on a large scale.

Now many parasites can not be found in the stool. Liver flukes, blood

born, etc. simply will not show up that way. So this has been a real

problematic issue for the conventional medical system. The other

problem the conventional medical field has is their treatments. When I

was in lab technology there was no known drug available for tapeworms

due to the fact that they are so well suited to our body that you

literally have to kill the patient to get the worm. They did have a

treatment that aggravated the tapeworm and we were on call to check

the stool everyday to see if the head had come out. So, the drugs they

have to kill parasites, in most cases, have to be at such a high toxic

level that the risk is not worth it, especially in a patient that is

already sick.

 

With that aside, I would like to say that doctors simply denying the

health risks of parasitic infections have been a huge mistake. They

should have looked to natural anti-parasite formulas along time ago.

Parasites are the cause of hundreds of misdiagnosed ailments. Diabetes

complications have been closely linked to a parasite from cattle that

infects the pancreas. Many asthmatic patients actually have lung

worms. Many liver diseases are actually liver fluke infestations. Some

heart problems are actually due to heart worms.

 

Fortunately throughout the clinical research work in Mexico with

American Biologics and also Hulda Clark, we have natural remedies that

are non-toxic and effective against most of these parasites.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

In the U.S. diarrhea caused by intestinal parasites is the third

leading cause of illness. Gas, diarrhea, chronic constipation,

bloating, fatigue, skin rashes, nail biting, mood swings, insomnia,

dry skin, brittle hair, hair loss, weight gain, bad breath and muscle

cramping are a few common symptoms. Because parasites can occur

anywhere in the body, the symptoms can as well. Parasites contribute

to major diseases including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis,

arthritis, and rheumatoid symptoms, diabetes, some heart disease,

asthma and others.

 

DO I NEED TESTING?

Because the formulas we carry are safe and because of the large

percentage of people that have these infections, we at Herbal Healer

see no reason to spend money on expensive testing. Many of the

conventional doctors will laugh you out of the office if you even

suggest it anyway.
