There is a wonderful and fair joke: "There are no healthy people, there are underexamined ones. "And if we talk about some aspects of health, such as infection with parasites, then this is no longer a joke, but the true truth. According to WHO, today up to 1 billion people around the world are infected with parasites (for a minute, this is a seventh of the planet’s population)! Only among the "classical" parasites - helminths - almost fifty species can live and thrive in the body of homo sapiens. And what about others: lice, single-celled lice (chlamydia, toxoplasma, lamblia), fungi (candida) and so on. . .
Not everyone is infected with parasites. Naturally, among the population of third world countries or some island residents, literally every person suffers from parasitosis, but the higher a person’s level of well-being and hygiene, the less likely it is that he is sick. However, at least once in our lives (and usually much more often) each of us has encountered parasites. Some are their constant 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 huge quantities in the environment. We just don’t see this, since 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, and so on.
As a rule, a person acquires parasites when he does not wash his hands and what he is about to eat particularly thoroughly, or does not properly prepare food (meat, eggs, and poultry are infected with parasites).
Do not discount your pets 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 an undercooked cutlet, stroked the dog - and received not only pleasure, but also an unexpected "friend" who will henceforth eat and live at his expense, and will also make him a walking source of infection for healthy people.
Not a pleasant prospect, isn't it? And this brings us back to the need for cleaning. At home, you can practice cleansing the body with tar, various teas, other herbal remedies, etc.
How to recognize the presence of parasites in the body?
Ideally, you need to undergo all conceivable 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 only pay for the diagnosis and treatment of real, not perceived problems. And one more minus: in some cases, 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, get tested yourself, at least the two most important ones: 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 physician.
If the results are negative and you feel generally good, then most likely you are healthy and you 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, an unclear deterioration in overall 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.
Parasite cleansing methods
To get rid of parasites, you can practice cleaning methods. Medicines, herbs, birch tar - cleansing the body can be done by different means. Below are those that are 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" tapeworms. The method was mostly effective, but difficult because patients received almost no food for up to 2 weeks.
Cleansing 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 expel worms from the intestines.
Sources of alternative medicine claim that it is completely safe to take birch tar: the body is cleansed in a matter of days, and the product also exhibits other effects, including anti-cancer. However, it is worth noting that official medicine does not approve of its oral administration. In addition, several years ago it was revealed that long-term treatment with tar does not cure tumors, but, on the contrary, increases the number of cases of cancer of the skin and mucous membranes.
Teas for cleansing the body
There are a number of herbs 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 and so on. From them, separately or mixed in different proportions, teas are prepared to cleanse the body, which are taken in a course of up to a month.
Preparations and dietary supplements
A number of dietary supplements have been created based on antiparasitic plants. They can also be used in cleansing.
How effective is parasite cleansing?
This article did not list all the existing methods of freeing the body from parasites. There are recommendations for cleaning with coconut milk, garlic, spices and hundreds of other different products. But, to tell the truth, they are ineffective.
Actually, even those recipes that were outlined above do not always guarantee a life without parasites. The effect depends on the characteristics of the body, its susceptibility to certain drugs, and on the parasite itself (some, and also if they inhabit the body in large quantities, are very difficult to get rid of). A huge role belongs to the state of immunity: the weaker it is, the more pleasantly and longer the "squatters" will use the resources of the owner’s body.
To increase your chances of success in cleansing, 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 massive "cleanses. "If you decide to resort to taking medications (and this, whatever one may say, is the most effective option), the remedy will help reduce the consequences of their harmful effects on the liver and other organs.
And finally: even when you get rid of parasites, do not relax. Immunity against them lasts for a maximum of a year, or even less. After this, you will again become vulnerable to them. 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.
