23 Jun Control Your Parasites & You Control Your Health

The gut is an extremely complex and intelligent creature that thrives on balance. It is like a universe in itself, home to more bacteria and strains of yeast than you could ever try count and when these beneficial bacteria in the digestive track get out of balance, problems begin. In particular, the nastiest of invaders are parasites. They can enter the body through food, drink, contact with animals or infected person, or even just skin contact, and parasite infections can last for years.

Parasites are extremely sneaky little invaders too – symptoms of their presence can be counter-intuitive and thus many problems caused by parasites are treated incorrectly, and thus poor health persists.

The most common symptoms of parasite infections are:

• dark circles under or around the eyes
• itching of the skin anywhere, particular the anus and particularly at night
• abnormal weight (over or underweight)
• a deep cough (with children, especially at night)
• excess mucus production (particularily in the throat and nose such as a constant post nasal drip)
• skin irritations or unexplained rashes, hives, rosacea or eczema – especially those that come and go
• fatigue, exhaustion, depression, or frequent feelings of apathy.
• anemia
• inability to concentrate
• hyperactivity (usually in children, but occasionally with adults)
• chronically ill ( people who are always sick from one thing or another)
• an itchy nose and a tendancy to pick it
• pain around naval area or inconsistent pains in this area
• any symptoms of IBS – constipation; diarrhea, foul smelling gas
• insomnia; trouble falling asleep or waking up several times during the night
• grinding your teeth in your sleep
• carvings for sugar and carbohydrate-rich food

If you or your children suffer from any of the above; a parasite cleanse is recommended every 6 months. This is especially true for those that live closely with furry companions. Natural parasite killers are more gentle and if administered correctly can be extremely powerful.

These are our top choices for killing parasites naturally:

Pure Herbal Remedies Paraherb

1. Pure Herbal Remedies Paraherb

Paraherb helps to rid your body of all types of internal parasites, at every stage of the life cycle (adults, larvae and eggs). It purifies your blood and gently cleanses your colon, leaving your whole body in a healthy, balanced state. It contains:

Paraherb must be taken for 21 days, to kill all parasites and stop their breeding cycle. This is actually even more important than the dosage – details are on the products details page. If you are using for children under the age of 5, open the capsule and give half in the morning and half in the evening.

Edible Diatomaceous Earth

2.  Edible Diatomaceous Earth  – Powder or Capsules

 Diatomaceous earth is one of the best natural anti-parasitic medications. It kills insects, worms and parasites by dehydrating them. It also cleanses the colon and soaks up mercury, infections, e-coli and drug deposits in the blood system too. It’s definitely a potent organic cleanser for your whole body. One tablespoon of diatomaceaous earth taken by an adult once a day for seven days is believed to be extremely effective at killing all parasites. If this is going to be given to children, bear in mind that height is a better indicator of the size of their G.I. tract than their weight. Thus, a child who is 4 feet tall should take 2 teaspoons, and a child who is 2 feet tall should take 1 teaspoon. When using it, be sure to drink plenty of fluids, because it will dehydrate a person considerably.

Top tips to creating a resistant environment to parasites and worms:

• Eat lots of garlic as they don’t like the smell making it less enticing to hang around in your gut
• Carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash are some foods that are rich in beta carotene, a precursor for vitamin A. Vitamin A is thought to increase resistance to penetration by larvae
• A diet rich in pineapple may help to clear certain parasites such as tapeworms, because of the digestive enzyme bromelain that it contains
• Avoid sugar and sugary food as the parasites and worms as these are their favourite food
• Ensure that probiotic foods and supplements are part of your diet
• Turmeric and cloves also help fight parasites.
