There is a wonderful and fair joke: "There are no healthy people, there are under-examined ones. "And if we talk about certain aspects of health, such as infection with parasites, then this is no longer a joke, but the real truth. According to the WHO, up to 1 billion people worldwide are infected with parasites today (for a minute, this is a seventh of the planet's population)! Almost fifty species of only the "classic" parasites - worms - can live and thrive in the body of homo sapiens. And what about others: lice, unicellular lice (chlamydia, toxoplasma, lamblia), fungi (candida) and so on. . .
Not everyone is infected with parasites. Of course, among the population of third world countries or some islanders, literally everyone suffers from parasitosis, but the higher the welfare and hygiene of a person, the less likely he is to be sick. However, we have all encountered parasites at least once in our lives (and usually much more often). Some of them are permanent owners to this day. . . There is only one conclusion: if the fact of infection exists, it is very important to cleanse the body of parasites.
Where do parasites come from?
They live in huge numbers in the environment. We simply don't see this because their eggs (if multicellular) 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, etc.
People usually get parasites if they do not wash their hands and what they are about to eat particularly thoroughly, or if they do not prepare food properly (meat, eggs, poultry with infected parasites).
Don't let your favorites down either. Their hair 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, it can be said that the man did not wash his hands, ate a poorly cooked slice, stroked the dog - and received not only joy, but also an unexpected "friend", who from now on eats and lives at his expense, and will also walk. the source of infection is the healthyfor people.
Not a pleasant sight, is 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 can you recognize the presence of parasites in the body?
Ideally, you should undergo all imaginable and imaginable tests that will reveal the presence of "territorial invaders" in your body. But be prepared that the doctor will not give you a referral for free tests. The thing is, "Doctor, I want to know that"Do I have parasites" is not accepted by doctors, as insurance companies only pay for the diagnosis and treatment of real, not perceived, problems. And one more minus: in some cases, the 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, do an examination, at least the two most important ones: feces for worm eggs and a smear for genital infections. These tests identify forms of parasitosis that require immediate treatment under medical supervision.
If the results are negative and you generally feel well, you are probably healthy and do not need to cleanse your body of parasites. But if you have a number of symptoms that allow you to suspect an infection, you cannot do without cleaning.
The presence of parasites in the body is indicated by weight loss, abnormal bowel movements, weakness, unexplained deterioration of general health, changes in appetite and unhealthy appearance. For children - attention! - their presence is often indicated by incomprehensible skin symptoms similar to psoriasis or allergic reactions.
Parasites cleaning methods
You can practice cleaning methods to get rid of parasites. Medicines, herbs, birch tar - the body can be cleansed with different tools. Below is a list of those that are available at home.
Cleansing the body with mineral water
This tough recipe was used several decades ago not only in folk medicine, but also in official medicine. They "chased" the tapeworms with mineral water, a strict diet and sometimes laxatives. The method was mostly effective, but difficult because the patients had almost no food for 2 weeks.
Cleaning the body with tar
Tar is a good remedy against 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 the consumption of birch tar is completely safe: the body is cleansed in days, and the product also has other anti-cancer effects. However, it is worth noting that official medicine does not approve its oral use. In addition, a few years ago it was discovered that long-term treatment with tar does not cure tumors, but, on the contrary, increases the number of cases of skin and mucous membrane cancer.
Teas for cleansing the body
There are many herbs that have a paralyzing effect on helminths and have a laxative effect. It is widely used in cleaning practice. Examples include wormwood, pumpkin seeds, St. John's wort, sea buckthorn, cloves, green walnuts, black walnuts, and so on. They are used separately or mixed in different proportions to make teas for cleansing the body, which are consumed during a course of up to one month.
Preparations and dietary supplements
Many dietary supplements have been created based on anti-parasitic plants. They can also be used for cleaning.
How effective is parasite cleansing?
This article did not list all the existing methods of ridding the body of parasites. There are recommendations for cleansing with coconut milk, garlic, spices, and hundreds of other products. But to tell you the truth, they are ineffective.
In fact, even the recipes outlined above do not always guarantee a parasite-free life. The effect depends on the characteristics of the organism, its sensitivity to certain drugs and the parasite itself (some, and even if it lives in large quantities in the body, it is very difficult to get rid of it). The state of immunity plays a huge role: the weaker it is, the more pleasantly and longer the "squatters" use the resources of the owner's body.
In order to increase the success of the cleanse, it is important to strengthen the immune system first. The use of an immunomodulator based on unique protein molecules helps to increase the body's defenses and prevent the side effects of massive "cleansing". If you decide to take drugs (and this, no matter what we say, is the most effective solution), the remedy helps to reduce the burden on the liver and other organsthe consequences of their harmful effects.
And finally: even if you get rid of parasites, do not relax. Immunity against them lasts a maximum of one year or even less. After that, he becomes vulnerable to them again. So, lead a lifestyle that minimizes the possibility of infection, and do not forget to regularly repeat courses of immunomodulators, which will make you more resistant not only to parasitosis, but to all diseases in general.
