What Are Intestinal Parasites?
In humans, three types of intestinal parasites may live in the small and large intestines: tapeworms, roundworms (or nematodes, NEE-muh-todes), and protozoa (pro-tuh-ZOH-uh). Certain types remain in the intestines; others travel outside the intestines to invade other organs. Some are so small they can only be seen under a microscope; others can be many feet long. Most tapeworms and roundworms develop in the human body and lay their eggs there. The eggs then pass out of the body through feces (FEE-seez, or bowel movements) and can infest others.
Parasites are a huge detriment to our health and are not addressed by most people. When running my detox clinic, I saw more parasites than most people will ever see. I found that each type of parasite had its own favorite thing that worked to get rid of it. There is no magic pill, it is a work in progress, each herb would take a certain amount of time and symptoms would resolve and then we would work on the next layer.
Most kids don’t get thru childhood without experiencing the itch and misery of pinworms, These are small white worms that are passed through animal’s feces on to dirt or carpet where little kids play. Once inside, this parasite can contribute to bed wetting. The worms crawl to the rectum during the night to lay eggs which causes the kid to itch and scratch and toss and turn, This stimulates the bladder to empty.
Now, I do a herbal and nutritional protocol and give you a target that your body is asking for. It’s personalized and when customized to your body, it works better than anything I have found. Here is a list of the herbs that I test to see if it is energetically aligned to your body. Sometimes, parasites take hold because of a nutritional deficiency, sometimes it can be because of the liver not working properly, sometimes it’s because the stomach acid is low, and our goal is to address whatever the body is looking for.
