There is a beautiful and fair joke: "There are no healthy people, there are less examined. "And if we talk about some aspects of health, such as infection with parasites, then this is no longer a joke, but the real truth. According to the WHO, today up to 1 billion people around the world are infected with parasites (for one minute, this is one seventh of the planet's population)! Only among the "classic" parasites - helminths - almost fifty species can live and thrive in the body of homo sapiens. And what about the others: lice, single-celled lice (chlamydia, toxoplasma, lamblia), fungi (candida) and so on. . .
Not everyone is infected with parasites. Indeed, among the inhabitants of third world countries or some islanders, literally everyone suffers from parasitosis, but the higher the level of well-being and cleanliness of a person, the less likely he is to get sick. However, at least once in our life (and usually more often) each of us has encountered parasites. Some are their permanent hosts to this day. . . There is only one conclusion: if there is a fact of infection, it is very important to clean the body of the parasite.
Where do parasites come from?
They live in large quantities in the environment. We just don't see this, because 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, Candida parasitic fungi are abundant in soil, natural waters, on the surface of fruits, vegetables, objects, etc.
As a rule, a person acquires parasites when he does not wash his hands and what he will eat especially carefully, or does not prepare food properly (meat, eggs, and chicken are infected with parasites).
Don't discount your pets either. Their fur and body are also full of unwanted inhabitants (lice, worms, toxoplasma), especially if the cat or dog is taken from the street or is sometimes there.
In general, the man did not wash his hands, ate undercooked pieces of meat, petted the dog - and not only got pleasure, but also an unexpected "friend" who would eat and live at his expense, and would also make him walk. source of infection for healthy people.
Not a pleasant prospect, is it? And this brings us back to the need for cleansing. 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 should undergo all the tests imaginable and imaginable that will reveal the presence of "territorial invaders" in your body. But be prepared for the fact that the doctor will not give you a referral for a free test. The fact is that the words "Doctor, I want to know if I have parasites" are not accepted by doctors, because insurance organizations only pay for the diagnosis and treatment of real problems, not perceived ones. And another minus: in some cases, the test is normal, but there are parasites in the body. . .
In general, seeking medical help does not guarantee 100% success and will cost a fortune. So, if you suspect the presence of parasites, get yourself tested, at least the two most important ones: stool for worm eggs and swabs for genital tract infections. This test will identify the form of parasitosis that requires immediate treatment under the supervision of a doctor.
If the result is negative and you feel generally well, you are most likely healthy and you do not need to cleanse your body of parasites. But if you have some 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 cleaning method
To get rid of parasites, you can practice cleaning methods. Medicines, herbs, birch tar - cleansing the body can be done in different ways. Below is what is available at home.
Cleanse the body with mineral water
This hard recipe was used decades ago not only in folk medicine, but also in official medicine. Using mineral water, a strict diet and sometimes laxatives, they "chase" tapeworms. This method is mostly effective, but difficult because the patient hardly receives food for up to 2 weeks.
Cleansing the body with tar
Tar is a good remedy for external parasites: fleas, scabies mites. Any doctor will confirm this. Some unofficial sources add that you can dilute it with water and take it orally to remove worms from the intestines.
Alternative medicine sources claim that it is completely safe to take birch tar: the body is cleansed in a few days, and the product also shows other effects, including anti-cancer. However, it should be noted that official medicine does not approve its oral administration. In addition, a few 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 skin and mucous membrane cancer.
Tea to cleanse the body
There are some herbs that have a paralytic effect on helminths and have a laxative effect. They are widely used in cleaning practices. For example, this is wormwood, pumpkin seeds, St. wort. John, buckthorn, clove, green walnut, black walnut and so on. From them, separately or mixed in different proportions, tea is prepared to cleanse the body, which is taken over a period of up to a month.
Preparations and supplements
A number of supplements have been created based on antiparasitic plants. They can also be used in cleaning.
How effective is parasite cleansing?
This article does not list all the available methods to rid the body of parasites. There are suggestions to cleanse with coconut milk, garlic, spices and hundreds of other different products. But, to tell the truth, they don't work.
In fact, even the recipes outlined above do not always guarantee a parasite-free life. 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 big role is played by the state of immunity: the weaker it is, the more pleasant and longer the "squatter" will use the resources of the owner's body.
To increase your chances of success on the cleanse, it is important to strengthen your immune system first. Taking immunomodulators based on unique protein molecules will help improve the body's defenses and prevent side effects from massive "cleansing". If you decide to take medication (and this, whatever can be said, is the most effective option), the medication will help reduce the consequences of its harmful effects on the liver and other organs.
And finally: even if you get rid of the parasite, don't rest. Immunity against them lasts for a maximum of a year, or even less. After this, you will again be exposed to them. So live a lifestyle that will minimize the possibility of infection, and also do not forget to regularly repeat the course of immunomodulators, which will make you more resistant not only to parasitosis, but to any disease in general.
