Human intestinal parasites
Answer: These are good questions. I will try and answer as many as I can…space permitting. Human intestinal parasites infect air, food and water. They can cause constipation, stomach bloating and many other disease health problems. Other symptoms can include anemia, asthma, diarrhea, digestive disorders, fatigue, low immune system, nervousness and skin rash. Few people realize such small things can cause such major problems. Most prefer not to think of these and will continue in their suffering.
There can be over 100 different types of parasite worms living in human bodies. Some are microscopic in size while others can be seen quite easily. These common organisms can be found everywhere in our environment…in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, and/or in the food we eat.
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in other organisms from which it obtains nutrients to live and causes harm in the process. Its name comes from the Greek word “para” that means beside, and “sitos” which means food.
Most parasites require some host to complete their life cycle. Animals can also serve as the host. The parasite will vary in size from one-thousandth of one micron to whale tapeworms one hundred feet long!
Parasites and worms can invade your bodies through food and water intake, through transmitting agents (like mosquitoes), sexual conduct or through the nose and skin. Once established, they will eat the same foods you eat or they will eat you.
People with intestinal parasite infections are usually under-nourished and weak, infected with viral, fungi, or bacteria, and have various types of chemical and metal poisoning. Human intestinal parasites can be present in any disease, in any person, at any age.
These parasites are responsible for many health problems because they secrete toxin and steal the vital nutrients from our bodies. They can irritate or exaggerate other health problems you may be experiencing. Everyone is at risk and under their mercy during parasitic infections.
We create the perfect living environment for parasites when the bowel becomes ineffective in the elimination of our waste products. The build-up of fecal material on the walls of the colon is attributed to constipation and the amounts of junk food, chemicals, bad fats and sweets we consume.
We poison ourselves from our own toxic waste and the waste from these creatures (auto intoxication) when this ideal habitat is created. Testing for parasites are only available for about five percent of the known varieties with only about twenty percent accuracy.
Cancer causes are afflicted with worms that often lump together and lock like tumors. Female worms can release 3,000 to 250,000 eggs per day, depending on their type. This is one topic that most people do not want to discuss, let alone think about, but the reality must be faced.
Next month we will discuss the four different varieties of parasites.
