Parasitic infections are very common across all countries in the world. Amoebiasis, hookworm infection, ascariasis, and trichuriasis are among the most common parasitic infections affecting humans.
Though the risk of mortality due to these infections is relatively low, complications are not uncommon. Malabsorption, impaired work productivity, bloating and gut dysfunction, blood loss, and reduced growth rate are just a few of the health concerns linked to parasitic infections.
As a practitioner I’ve often seen clients suffering from parasitic infections. They can be a major underlying cause or contributing factor to the development of disease. Let’s learn more about parasitic infections and what effective therapies can be utilised.
Around 70 per cent of parasites including malarial parasites are not visible to our eye. However, some parasites especially worms can reach nearly 30 meters in length.
Endoparasites and Epiparasites are 2 main categories of parasites affecting humans.
Endoparasites including heartworms, tapeworms, and flatworms live inside the body of the host while epiparasites feed on other parasites. Ectoparasites like lice and fleas live on rather than inside the body of the hosts.
Parasites can also be categorized into Protozoa and Helminths.
Protozoa include the single-celled organisms called Plasmodium that can only divide or multiply inside the host.
Helminths are worm parasites. They include roundworms, tapeworm, pinworms, and trichina spiralis. Although these do not typically result in serious acute health issues, they can contribute to many long-term health issues as they deplete your body’s resources. Common symptoms experienced by helminth parasites include: mood swings, digestive issues and abdominal pain, brain fog and lack of concentration, weight loss…
The risk of parasitic infections is higher in some individuals due to the presence of risk factors such as:
The common symptoms of parasitic infections include:
Parasitic infections can be diagnosed with the help of different tests as discussed beneath:
The Complete digestive stool analysis known as the CDSA test is a functional test that provides an overview of the components of digestion, absorption, intestinal function and microbial flora, as well as identifying any pathogenic bacteria, parasites and yeasts.
The increased or decreased white blood cell count and increased eosinophilic count could be indicative of parasitic infections.
The increased levels of CRP (C-Reactive Protein) could suggest the possibility of parasitic infections like malaria.
Blood tests may reveal anemia and reduced iron or hemoglobin levels, which could be linked to bleeding in the intestine caused due to parasitic infections.
Your practitioner may also recommend liver function tests to confirm or rule out parasitic infections. The increased levels of liver enzymes such as aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin could suggest the possibility of a liver infection due to parasites.
Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), or CAT (computerized axial tomography) are used to detect the signs of lesions or injuries in the organs caused due to parasites.
In some cases, an endoscopy or colonoscopy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
During rectal therapy, a mixture of oxygen and ozone is introduced into the colon through a catheter. The ozone helps to decrease inflammation and destroy pathogens, including parasites, bacteria, and viruses, thus restoring healthy gut flora. A strong immune system can protect your body against infection-causing pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Ozone therapy can support the immune system and therefore improving both prevention and treatment of parasitic infections. The effects of ozone are unparalleled and therefore would always add this therapy to whatever supplemental program is implemented as it’ll improve the efficacy as well.
An anti-inflammatory diet that comprises of fresh fruits, whole grains, and a high amount of fibres can protect the stomach and intestine against inflammatory damage. This would reduce the risk of complications linked to parasitic infections.
Making healthy changes in your diet and the use of supplements aimed at improving liver health are linked to a reduced risk of parasitic infections.
The improvement in liver functions would enhance the secretion of enzymes that can kill the parasites. It may also provide relief from the symptoms like indigestion caused due to the infections.
The foundational protocol consists of a four-step process which takes about 4 months.
No matter what you’ve been diagnosed with, the components of this phase are foundational to your healing journey. They’ll prepare you for true detox by opening your energy and drainage pathways. This will help minimize “hiccups” or side effects along the way.
Building on the detox traction you gained in Step 1, it’s time to start running any unwanted guests out of town. Step 2 focuses on removing pathogens and deep-rooted toxins that could be holding you back from true health.
Now, it’s time to build on the progress you’ve made and achieve even greater results. Continue gut-cleansing and clear pathogens and toxins throughout your body to prepare for deeper detox in Step 4.
This step is designed to target and clean up heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium that can build-up in the body over time. The focus is on binding and purging them from tissues, organs, and the brain to restore a natural state of health.
You can purchase each step individually or purchase the complete foundational protocol.
However, you can also get a part of the above protocol specifically for parasites which cuts down on costs. This is called the full moon kit. This kit supports the immune system, gastrointestinal function and microbiome diversity as well as removing parasites, biofilm and other unwanted pathogens.
In the digestive tract, Mimosa Pudica Seed becomes a gelatinous, sticky gut scrubber. As it works its way through the intestinal tract, it scrubs and pulls out toxins, heavy metals, biofilm, and other unwanted elements. It’s like deep cleaning for your insides!
Developed over years of clinical trials, Formula 1 is a multi-herb blend specifically designed for powerful immune and digestive support. Proven natural ingredients like vidanga, neem, triphala, clove, and holarrhena are merged with our BioActive Carbons to create a potent, yet tolerable, solution to pathogen problems.
Formula 2 is a potent combination of synergistic herbs that work together for optimal effect. Formula 2 approaches immune support from a fresh angle. It offers enhanced antioxidant production while addressing systemic pathogens that other products may have missed. This heroic herb combination hits hard on many pathogens but is especially effective against strongyloides, liver flukes, clostridium, and Blastocystis hominis. Formula 2 comes in liquid tincture form, which provides rapid systemic absorption and maximum control over dosing.
With its optimized binding ability, BioTox supports your fight against biotoxins like mold, ammonia, sulfur, Candida, and fungal toxins.
Keeping your body well hydrated would improve bowel movements thus promoting the flushing out of toxins and harmful parasites from your body during defecation.
It would also enhance gut flora and support intestinal functions thereby strengthening your body’s defences against parasites.
Regular exercise is another way to boost your immune system. It would support digestion and improve the efficiency of the immune cells against parasites significantly.
Coffee enemas would help in the expulsion of stubborn parasites lodged into your intestine and rectum. It would help in eliminating these parasites from your body in a very short period and restore optimum gut health.
It is possible to prevent parasitic infections by making healthy changes in your diet and lifestyle. Improving your immune system, supporting oxygenation and removal of parasites via ozone therapy and cell core full moon kit, and staying hydrated would enable your body to fight parasites and protect you against the risk of infections.
A quick fix is something that we all crave… whether it’s getting rid of your cold, or losing weight, or treating any chronic disease. We are always looking for a quick fix that will address the problem immediately without the need for us to put in much time or effort.
Sound familiar?
Question is… do these “quick fixes” actually get you long-term results? Are they sustainable?
“Hi, I’d love to hear your views on chemotherapy. Are you pro or anti-chemotherapy?”
My answer? I’m neither.
Confused with that answer? That’s exactly what this article is all about!
Chemotherapy is one of the conventional treatments recommended for patients with cancer. However, it is important to weigh the benefits of Chemotherapy against the risks it poses to be able to make the right decision…
Your poo habits can provide you with some very valuable information. Yes, I know this subject is still a little uncomfortable for some, but it’s just something you will have to get used to talking about. Your bowel motions can tell you a lot about the balance of bacteria in your gut, whether your body is detoxifying toxins properly, or how you are absorbing nutrients!
So, what does it mean when we have constipation?
It is commonly observed that some people tend to be more prone to develop health issues like infections and allergies more commonly than others.
Also, some people tend to develop more severe symptoms of infections or other diseases while some develop very mild symptoms that often require no treatment. These variations in the incidence of diseases could be explained with the help of the Terrain Theory vs Germ Theory.
Measuring your homocysteine levels is recommended for the early diagnosis of several disorders. The abnormal levels of homocysteine in the blood could provide insights into the potential risks of developing certain diseases.
In healthy circumstances homocysteine is broken down, however factors such as nutritional deficiencies, certain medications or conditions can lead to excess homocysteine levels. High homocysteine has been linked to various health issues such as atherosclerosis, stroke, diabetes complications, neurological diseases, osteoporosis, depression, erectile dysfunction and pregnancy complications…
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease is one of the most dreaded, progressive neurodegenerative diseases that impact motor neurons. It is a slow but steady decline where the brain loses connection with your muscles resulting in an inability to eat, talk, walk, before eventually paralyses and respiratory failure take place.
In loving memory of Frank.
This article was inspired by a vibrant and beautiful family friend, Frank who passed away from ALS in 2020.
Here is a brief discussion about what ALS means and how the functional approach to the treatment of this condition can provide natural support to ease the symptoms.
