Parasites & How to Eliminate them Naturally

WHAT ARE PARASITES?

Parasites are a large class of infective organisms that live on or in human beings, animals and plant species. They include:

1. Flukes and worms. This includes several hundred types of flat worms (such as tape worms) and round worms (such as hook worms and ascaris). Also in this group are liver flukes, the most common parasites in America. These infect most people, to some degree, at least, because their eggs are so often found in swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, gymnasium floors, and everything you touch that others touch such as armrests on aircraft, buses and trains, toilet flush levers in public or private bathrooms, and elsewhere. Even some municipal water supplies contain some, as they are difficult to kill. Worms and flukes don’t tend to kill people outright. They just accumulate in the liver, colon or elsewhere and cause certain symptoms.

2. Protozoa such as amoebas and giardia lamblia. These are microscopic in size, and more associated with Mexico, South America, and unclean food and water in tropical countries. These can kill the weak or ill people if they move from the intestines through a weak spot in the intestinal wall and migrate to the brain, lungs, heart or other vital organs. Eating spices can help to mitigate them.

3. Spirochetes or spiral shaped organisms such as those that cause Lyme disease and malaria, and others. These are also very common, especially Lyme spirochetes, spread by flies, ticks and many other insects.

4. Yeasts and fungi. Some people also include yeasts and fungi such as candida albicans in the group of infective agents that are termed parasites. Candida is extremely common, as it is a hardy organism.

As you can see, there are many types of parasitic organisms, several hundred, in fact. Unlike bacteria and viruses, most parasites are large enough to be seen easily with a microscope, and some can be seen with the naked eye.

SYMPTOMS OF PARASITES

A mild case of parasites will often cause few, if any symptoms. As a result, millions of people walk around with parasites and have no idea they have them. In fact, most people have some. Everyone whose body is somewhat yin has some parasites. In America, for example, liver flukes are most common, followed by Lyme disease, I would guess. In tropical countries, amoebas and other protozoal parasites are most common. If more parasites are present, symptoms tend to be:

Worms and flukes tend to cause a bloated belly to some degree, fatigue, a sad look on the face, slightly darker skin tone, malnutrition if the case is bad, and interestingly, a craving for fat, even more than cravings for sugar or sweets.
Protozoal parasites cause diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight gain or weight loss, intestinal bleeding, rectal itching or itching anywhere in the body. Sometimes there is anemia, headaches and many other symptoms are possible if the case is severe.
Spirochetes such as the Lyme parasite (borrelia burgdorferi) cuases a bullseye rash early on, which fades and later may causes joint pain, neck pain, headaches, brain fog, and other symptoms as it invades various tissues and organs.
Candida albicans and other fermenting organisms may cause gas, bloating, brain fog, confusion, fatigue, weight gain and other symptoms depending upon where it is and how severe it is.

RULES OF THUMB ABOUT PARASITES

Rules or principles about parasites that I use are the following:

1. Parasitic infection is extremely common and most everyone has some. Most people have Lyme spirochetes, liver flukes, trichina cysts or worms, and often others, as well. This is more likely if you work around the soil, are not that clean in your living and sexual habits, travel the world, eat pork, ham or bacon, or live in Lyme-infected areas such as the East and West coast of the USA, and the mid-west as well. Places where one finds the highest rate of parasitic infection tend to be in the tropics, and in nations with less cleanliness, and especially those where clean water is not readily available. They are also more common where people walk barefoot or work barefoot or in water, such as in rice paddies in Asia. However, parasites are everywhere, and not that easy to avoid. In so-called healthy people, the degree of infection is not severe, so there are few if any symptoms, and the parasitic infection does not affect the person very much.

2. Parasites are opportunists and thrive in more yin and sick bodies. An important principle of parasitic infection is that parasites is they are generally worse if your health is worse. In this regard, they are opportunist organisms that thrive in sick bodies. As one makes the body more yang, detoxifies the body and renourishes it properly, which takes several years or more, most parasitic infections, including Lyme disease, will diminish in intensity to the point that it will not cause problems. Eventually, they will go away completely without a need for any anti-parasitic medication or herbs of any kind.

3. Detecting parasites can be extremely difficult. Some are very small, some live deep in the liver or the brain, and none of the tests, in my experience, are that reliable. It is fine to do testing, but do not rely on testing alone. Nutritional balancing is superb for parasites because it will lead to the removal of all of them! Therefore, testing is not really needed, except perhaps to confirm the presence of parasites. I do not bother with it in most cases, because I assume they are present in everyone.

4. Healing parasitic infections is really a two-stage process of 1) reducing the parasite load, and 2) completely eliminating the parasites. Reducing the load is what most medical and natural methods achieve, and this is often adequate to improve one’s health. Nutritional balancing will do this quite easily easily. Other methods used are Rife or other electrical machines, toxic herbs such as wormwood, walnut, cloves and others, medical drugs or purges.

5. It is difficult to get rid of all your parasites. It does not matter if you use drugs, herbs, Rife machines, or anything else. Some are relatively easy to get rid of such as pinworms. Others, such as liver flukes, are very tenacious. Also, even if you get rid of them, re-infection occurs easily. When people say they have gotten rid of their parasites, usually it means they have reduced their numbers to where they are not bothersome and they are harder to detect. Only nutritional balancing, among the anti-parasitic methods, will eventually cause the removal of all parasites, in my experience. However, it takes a number of years of faithfully following a program. It requires making the body much more yang, for example, and reducing the nutrients parasites feed upon, which include sugars, fruit, and fats and oils.

6. Most parasite remedies are toxic to some degree and therefore best avoided. This includes medical drugs, herbs, colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil and the others. The least toxic are homeopathic remedies and rife frequency therapies. However, these are quite yin and not so great, either, for this reason. They also usually do not remove all the parasites, but can reduce the numbers.

7. You need not kill your parasites. A much better approach, in my view, is to just make your body an unwelcome host, and they will leave on their own. You may not see them leave, but they will slowly stop reproducing if the terrain of your body is not suitable for them.

8. Nutritional balancing does not always kill parasites. It makes the body less suitable for their survival, so they are either expelled or simply leave and go elsewhere. Important advantages of this method of handling parasites are: 1) no toxic products are required, and 2) re-infection is much less common. Even if you are re-exposed to them, the body will not support them nearly as well. The disadvantage to this method is it may be slower than taking drugs or herbs, although not necessarily.

Some of these principles are explored in more depth later in this article.

SOURCES OF EXPOSURE TO PARASITES

Parasites are a worldwide health problem that accounts for half the diseases in the world, or more. They live everywhere, though they thrive best in warm, moist, often tropical, and dirty environments. They are a disease of filth and are usually present on foods, in water, even in the air and on other contact surfaces that are not cleaned well enough. For this reason, going barefoot, eating raw or improperly cooked food, and lack of hygiene are the main sources of parasites.

More specifically:

Liver fluke eggs are found throughout the world on food, on napkins, silverware, glasses, in the air and in the water supplies. They are almost impossible to avoid, even if one observes excellent cleanliness.
Hookworm and round worm eggs are found in dirt, on dirt floors, especially, and on all unclean surfaces that people walk on and touch. For this reason, round and hookworm infections are diseases of filth. Cleanliness is essential to avoid them. Wearing shoes, and better yet, closed shoes, is a wise idea in all tropical nations.
Trichina worm cysts are found in all pig products, in my opinion, even if the pork, bacon, lard or ham are cooked well. This is an important reason to stop eating pig products entirely! They move into the brain easily, and are endemic among populations that eat a lot of pig products anywhere in the world. Christians should be observing the kosher laws, which forbid eating products of the pig.
Lyme disease and malaria are carried by insects of various kinds. Lyme disease is difficult to avoid today, no matter where one lives. Most people have it to some degree.
Malaria requires any of about 40-50 species of female anopheles mosquitos as its vector or carrier. For this reason, it is mainly limited to certain tropical areas where these mosquitos are present in large numbers. If possible, I suggest avoiding travel to these areas. Malaria maps and mosquito maps on the internet can show you where they are. If you live in one of these nations of Africa, Asia, South and Central America, the Middle East or Far East, do your best to take precautions such as always sleeping under mosquito netting, wearing long sleeves and long pants, wearing socks and shoes, and avoiding mosquito infected swamps and other dangerous areas. Malaria is often rampant in these areas, and it will shorten the lifespan of most people. Candida albicans and other candida species are everywhere on dishes, glasses, silverware, on food, and everything people touch or wear. Wash you hands several times daily, and always wash and preferably shower after you have been in contact with others, after going to restaurants, after sex, after sleeping in hotels, and after other contact with people or places where people have been such as theaters, movies, stadiums, studios such as television studios, schools and universities, and elsewhere. I know this is difficult, but it is helpful to reduce the spread of conditions such as candida albicans and some other parasitic diseases.
The worst areas of the world for parasitic disease are generally poor nations, those with bad sanitation systems, dirt floors instead of tile, linoleum, wood or carpet flooring, and in nations with contaminated and polluted water and food supplies.

Food sources of parasites

Especially avoid ALL raw or poorly cooked meats, fish, seafood and shellfish. This applies to Americans just as much as it does to Europeans and Asians. Sushi, which is sadly very nutritious, is a big source of problems in developed nations of Europe, Japan, America and others. I am saddened to have to respond to the lies that raw meats or raw fish are healthful, at all. They are not! and are usually full of parasitic eggs and cysts. Avoid eating ALL unwashed fruit and all poorly washed vegetable salads if you want to avoid more parasites. I suggest one should never eat salad or fruit with skin unless you wash it yourself. This means avoiding ALL salads and ALL fruit with skin in restaurants. One never knows who washed the lettuce or the apples, and how well and how cleanly it was done. Remember, today many food service employees are from unclean nations, and their hygiene must be questioned. This is not an accusation against any particular group or nation, but it is the truth. Also remember that many of our fruits, vegetables, meats and fish come from unclean tropical nations, which must include China, India, Southeast Asia and South America. For this reason, the problem of cleanliness of raw foods is far worse today than ever before, and getting worse by the day.Finding out if the food is clean is basically impossible, so you must assume all food is contaminated until proven otherwise. Some food is marked where it has been grown and shipped from. However, most is not marked, although it should be. As stated above, to avoid trichina infection of the brain and elsewhere, I would avoid all pig products such as ham, bacon, pork, lard, pig skin, sausage made with pork intestine, pork rinds and other products of the pig. It does not seem to matter if it is well-cooked. The only exception is porcine pancreatin, which appears to be very safe. Perhaps this is because pancreatin digests most everything, including parasite ova.

Water sources of parasites

Drinking water supplies are a major source of parasitic infection around the world. Never drink tap water in most nations, even for brushing your teeth. Also, if possible, always use warm or hot water and lot of soap to wash dishes and clothing. Important water related sources of parasites are pools, hot tubs, hot springs, boating clubs and facilities, cruise ships, and wet or damp floors in health clubs, gyms, school locker rooms. Just because a pool or hot tub has been “sanitized” with chlorine or bromine does not mean that all micro-organisms have been killed. Some cysts and eggs survive very well in these places. For this reason, I suggest strictly avoiding all public pools or hot tubs. Even lake water, river water and occasionally ocean water can be contaminated with parasites. Ocean water is safest because few parasites can survive in the salty water. Fresh water is commonly contaminated, often by human beings or animals who use the water for bathing and relieving themselves. Untreated sewage also may find its way into lakes, streams and some ocean areas, as well. So swim only in the ocean, clean lakes or rivers, or seek out healthful and very clean flowing hot springs, which are scattered everywhere on the earth and much better because the water comes directly out of the ground, and is pure and always flowing. Notes on chlorine and bromine: These are powerful toxins that are best avoided. The amount in most municipal bathing and drinking water is not too bad, although it has found its way into all our food, as a result of its widespread use. This has damaged the entire food supply on earth, and harmed all the soils of the earth. While these chemicals kill many germs, they do not kill all parasite cysts and ova. They are also highly toxic and cause the bodies of people, animals and plants to become more yin, which worsens susceptibility to all parasites. Ozone and hydrogen peroxide are much better methods to sanitize all water in the world, although they are not perfect, either. Sanitizing and producing healthful drinking and bathing water for all people of the earth should be a major priority in all nations, and is a costly, but important public health concern for all nations. I hope it will receive more attention than it already does. Until then, in most nations, drink only bottled water, and only water directly out of a sealed bottle, even for brushing your teeth and for cooking. Wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages used to avoid drinking water. While cleaner than many water supplies, I do not suggest drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages. The only exception might be if you are traveling for a day or two and cannot obtain bottled water. However, alcohol is very yin and also toxic for the body. Continued use is damaging to the body. Among alcoholic beverages, beer and distilled spirits are usually the cleanest, interestingly. Wine is the worst and may contains parasite cysts, some arsenic and perhaps a little lead used in fertilizers and pesticides applied to the grapes. Grain beverages such as beer are actually more yang and therefore better than fruit based beverages such as wine, especially sweet wines. However, I would not drink these beverages for optimum health. Notes about reverse osmosis water. Throughout this website, I do not recommend reverse osmosis water. In my experience, it does not hydrate the body very well, it causes a type of plastic poisoning from the polycarbonate or other type of membrane used to make it, and it is mineral deficient and very yin for this reason. However, if you are traveling in an unclean nation, reverse osmosis bottled water may be the best alternative, and it can be used for a short while by most people. If you live in a nation with unclean water, please seek out a clean bottled spring water for regular drinking, as it will be much better for you than always drinking reverse osmosis bottled water. Watch out for brands such as Nestles, Dasani and Aqua Fina. These are made by reverse osmosis and are not spring waters, though they are found in the spring water sections of most supermarkets in the USA and elsewhere, unfortunately. Also watch out for “drinking waters” and “purified waters” in health food stores and elsewhere, as these, too, are usually just tap water that is run through a reverse osmosis filter. Notes about drinking bottled soft drinks in unclean nations. While I am definitely not a fan of Coca-cola or other soft drinks, these companies have actually helped the nations where these drinks are sold because they make sure the water they use is adequately filtered so as not to spread disease. This is important to know if you travel to unclean nations, as these beverages at least will not spread parasitic and other water-borne diseases, provided you drink them straight from the bottle or can. Do not make a habit of this, but know this if you need a beverage and no spring water or reverse osmosis water is immediately available. Ideally, always bring your own water with you when traveling through unclean nations or areas.

Airborne sources of parasites

This is not a major source of parasites, most of the time. The only exception is if one is breathing contaminated air, for example in a chicken coup or even some cities where debris and garbage take to the air and one may breathe in cysts of parasites.

Toilet seats and other contact sources of parasites

Troublesome areas are all public places where one touches chairs, toilets, sinks, beds, money (paper or coins) or anything else that has been touched by many people. Such places include theatres, auditoriums, laundromats, lunch counters, buses, trains, airplanes, subways, restaurants, and many other public locations. This is why frequent hand washing, wiping down toilet seats before sitting on them, and other hygienic measures are absolutely essential in public places of all kinds.
Wealthier nations tend to be cleaner, as do primarily Christian nations such as the USA. However, watching your hygiene today is critical even in the United States and Canada. This is partially due to immigration patterns, and partially due to the decline in wealth and in Christian values in these nations.

Children spread a lot of parasites. We must add to contact sources the enormous spread of parasitic diseases that occurs among family members. Today, sadly, many children are born with parasites that are passed on from the mother, although the placenta affords newborn babies some protection from parasite infection. Mothers should take care of their parasitic infections before giving birth, if possible, as some live in the vagina and can easily infect their babies, causing blindness in some cases or other problems. Sexual hygiene is the key here. Husbands and boyfriends must be treated along with their female partners in all cases, if a disease is found. Young children often bring home parasite eggs from pre-school and kindergarten, especially, as the children often slobber a little and may place things in their mouths or other contaminated areas. Then mom or dad gives them a big hug and the filth is all over their clothes and hands, as well.
This is unfortunately another reason to teach your children at home, rather than send the little ones, in particular, to daycare centers, pre-schools and kinder schools, in particular. However, even grade school children and high school age children often bring home parasites to the entire family from their sports events, group showering after gym class, and even just from contact with others at the school and in the stores and other places they frequent. Besides keeping your children out of school, I would not allow most group sports and other group activities, which some think are so wonderful, but they are not. Never allow your child to swim in pools or go in hot tubs, for instance, unless you want to contaminate the whole family later.

Sexual activity. Sexual contact is a common cause of parasitic infections such as chlamydia, and others. Sexual activity also always spreads bacterial infections such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and others, and viral infections such as herpes. Even simple kissing can spread parasitic diseases easily. I would avoid “kissy” people, as they usually are spreading disease without realizing it, and some of these diseases such as some strains of herpes are very difficult to eradicate. Among heterosexuals, casual sex is by far the worst. You never know if your wonderful new partner is lying about their sexual past or disease, or is just ignorant as to whether he or she is carrying parasitic or other diseases. Both occur all the time. One may even think the diseases are gone, when they are rarely gone. Fidelity in marriage, monogamy, and avoiding adultery are best.

Other people to people spreading of disease. Parasitic disease spread easily to friends, anyone you are living with, business associates and even those one entertains at parties and other events. Sharing clothing, riding in cars belonging to others, riding subways, buses, planes, trains and other public transportation are sources, as are most human group activities such as attending sports events, concerts, etc. Try to be clean at these, and always wash or shower when you get home. Keep clothing clean, and do not wipe hands on your face, if possible, and do not use dirty handkerchiefs and tissues. Do not leave these around the home, either. Even new clothing today are best washed before wearing them, as they can transmit parasite cysts.

Home contact. The dirtiest rooms in most homes are the bathroom and kitchen. Floors should be washed, not just swept or vacuumed, at least once a week. Use a steam mop, not a regular mop that just moves the dirt around, too often. Only the steam mop mixed with a little soap, can kill or remove most parasite eggs. Be careful when sweeping or vacuuming, as these can blow dust and living matter all over the home. If you squash a bug, do it preferably with a Kleenex or paper towel, and then put the paper in the toilet or outside in the garbage since most insects carry disease germs and may carry parasite eggs or cysts.
Do not leave dirty dishes overnight, and wash sponges and kitchen and bathroom towels often. Also be sure to wash out sinks, stoves, ovens and other places where food debris and parasite ova may lie.
Doctor’s offices, dental offices, and especially hospitals can be a source of parasitic infection today. Some of the electronic equipment used in hospitals is very hard to sterilize. If possible, stay away from these places.

Pets and farm animals. Animals are often infected with parasites, and these can spread to people easily. Birds are the worst pets for this reason. Birds often flap their wings in their cages, spreading larva and parasite eggs throughout the house. Dogs and particularly cats are often infected with worms and other parasites. They should be dewormed periodically, about once a year, according to many veterinarians. If your animal is indoors all the time, this is less of a problem, but still a possibility. Ideally, after petting or grooming any animal, wash your hands, and do not sleep with animals in bed with you, or even on your bed. Hugging, and especially kissing pets and other animals can spread these parasites easily and should be avoided. Dogs and perhaps chickens are the cleanest of the small animals, even dogs who roam out of doors daily. I am not sure why this is so, but it appears to be the case. This is a reason to own dogs rather than cats or other animals. Even pocket dogs can carry germs, so if you have one, wash everything they touch carefully on a daily basis. People think they are like little people, but it is not true.
Never own pigs, please, and if you must be around them, wash your hands often and deeply. They carry the most disease, it seems, although I am not sure why. The problem of parasites in farm and livestock animals is a daunting one. In trying to figure out why they are such a problem, I would suggest that “industrial” or large-scale livestock production is more yin today and this may open the animals to more parasitic infections. Causes for the problem stem from raising animals in very close quarters, not enough sunshine, cheap food, bad water, widespread use of medical drugs and vaccines, the use of other chemicals used on the farms and ranches for cleaning and other purposes, and some resulting contamination of the food, water and air of our livestock animals. Modern methods of livestock production are more sterile, perhaps, but there is a price in using more chemicals. The animals have become more yin in nature, negatively affecting their ability to resist parasitic attack.

Note: Garlic for dogs and perhaps cats. Giving dogs and maybe cats small amounts of garlic daily can reduce and eventually eliminate some parasites such as heartworms in dogs. Beware: too much garlic is toxic and even lethal for cats, in particular. However, small amounts of garlic can be safer than the anti-parasitic drugs, and can do a better job, in some cases.
Insect and other vectors. Some parasites are spread by crawling insects that may leave parasite cysts in their urine, feces or other body secretions. In fact, most spiders, mosquitoes, small rodents and other small animals that find their way into our homes and offices can possibly spread parasitic organisms. To minimize this contact, keep homes closed up sufficiently and pick up insects when they are found. Put them outside or destroy them. When hiking or moving through any area where insects are, preferably wear long sleeves, long pants and socks to help prevent insect bites. Check yourself before going inside to remove any insects that may be on your clothing. I know this is inconvenient, but it can be well worth the trouble.

DETECTING PARASITES

Detecting many parasites is very difficult, as mentioned above. They can hide in various organs, and none of the tests are totally reliable. Here are a few words about the most common types of tests used.
Stool examinations. Stool exams are used commonly, but are notoriously inaccurate. The reason is that the laboratory only analyzes a small amount of the stool. It may not contain the parasites, even though they are present in the body. Parasites also go through live cycles, and an exam done at the wrong time of the month, so to speak, will miss the eggs or ova or the entire parasites for this reason, as well.
One can also test the stool for occult blood. This may be caused by parasitic infection, although one must rule out other causes, so the test is not that reliable.

Bowel contents exams. A few laboratories may offer a “bowel contents exam”. This is a very time-consuming and costly test in which the patient is given a laxative and must sit at the lab for several hours and collect everything that comes out of the bowel. The lab then analyzes the entire contents, hopefully. This is not widely offered, however, and costs hundreds of dollars. Also, it still can miss some items, and it only detects parasites in the bowel, of course.

Blood tests. Serum tests for antibodies and others are also not perfectly reliable, as one may be exposed to parasites, so there can be false positives as well as false negatives.

Biopsies, x-rays, PET scans and MRIs. These are occasionally useful, but are rarely done unless one has a strong suspicion and knows exactly what one is looking for. They are the only methods to detect parasites deep in the internal organs.

Hair mineral tests. Anyone with a four lows pattern on a hair mineral test probably has parasites. Other patterns are not clear indicators of parasitic infection, in my experience.
While a properly performed hair mineral test does not specifically detect parasites, it will tell your Approved nutritional balancing practitioner how to set up a complete program to slowly eliminate parasites from the body. Most doctors who offer hair analysis, however, do not know enough to set up a correct program.

Must one test for parasites? I do not routinely test for parasites for all the following reasons:

I assume that most people have parasites.
Standard tests are not that reliable.
Nutritional balancing programs, especially with GB-3, near infrared sauna therapy and coffee enemas, will immediately begin to reduce the parasite load and eventually will get rid of most of them without needing testing or other anti-parasitic agents or drugs.
The tests often add unnecessary cost, in our view.
When to test for parasites? Possible situations are:

1. One could test for parasites if one is having a bad reaction to coffee enemas and/or GB-3, which upset parasites in the body and are beginning the removal process. In almost all instances, however, I would not test for parasites, but rather recommend continuing the program as best one can, and eventually the parasites will be expelled.

2. If a person will not follow a nutritional balancing program, then testing and using toxic remedies may be needed, at times, for Lyme disease and others.

DRUGS AND HERBAL CORRECTION OF PARASITES

Anti-parasitic pharmaceutical drugs. These drugs include metronizadole (Flagyl, Helidac, Metizol, Metric 21, Metro IV, Metrogel, Neo-metric, Novonidazole, Prostat, Satric, Trikacide), itraconazole (Sporanex), ketoconizole (Nizoril), fluconizole (Diflucan), quinacrine, (Atabrine) and perhaps others.
Anti-parasitic drugs are often not all that helpful, and many are extremely toxic. They may have a temporary effect, but if the body is not made stronger with a complete nutritional balancing program, the drugs will not work well, or the parasites often come back just as bad after the drug therapy is over. These drugs are quite toxic for the liver and perhaps for other organs, so they slow the general healing of the body. I would avoid them all. Always use the natural methods first such as a nutritional balancing program and natural remedies. There may be exceptions to the above in a few situations. However, so far, we have never needed to resort to anti-parasitic drugs to clear parasites. Drugs should only be used if all other methods above are not working. I believe that nutritional balancing and, if needed, other natural methods are very powerful, in fact more so than the drugs.

Herbs, colloidal silver, diatomaceous earth, bentonite, Rife machines and other natural methods. These can work to varying degrees, and are generally less toxic than medical drugs. However, they tend to be somewhat toxic, and they will reduce the parasitic load, but not remove all parasites. I rarely need or use them, because nutritional balancing programs will remove all parasites eventually, without needing these remedies.

Supplements and raw foods all yin. In addition to being somewhat toxic, another problem with most supplements and all herbs today is they are all somewhat yin. This is harmful for the body and can actually increase the tendency for parasites. Raw food is also very yin, so even if it provides plenty of nutrition, it can worsen the susceptibility to parasitic attack by making the body more yin.

PARASITE REMOVAL USING NUTRITIONAL BALANCING

Nutritional balancing programs can rid the body of hundreds of different parasites without requiring remedies such as herbs, medical drugs, machines or others. The anti-parasitic effect most likely occurs for the following reasons: A more yang diet. The diet for those on a nutritional balancing program always includes avoiding all sweets and sugars, including fruits because sugars tend to nourish parasites. Also, parasitic infections are generally “cold” or “yin”, and this is made much worse by eating sugars of any kind at all, even milk. The diet also limits fat, which also feeds some parasites.
Increased vitality. Enhancing overall vitality of the body is essential to rid the body of parasites. Parasites are very low-energy creatures that thrive in sick bodies. As the vitality improves, they are often easily expelled. Increased vitality also enhances the body’s ability to resist new parasitic infestation.
Repair of the intestinal tract is a high priority. This is done by eliminating all fruit, all juices except a little carrot juice, all raw food, all wheat products, and all food chemicals and refined foods. A much better diet of this type slowly strengthens and balances the intestines.
Making the body much more yang in many ways. Parasites thrive in a more yin body. They cannot thrive well in a more yang and healthier body.
A focus on liver detoxification. This increases bile flow. Bile is irritating and sometimes lethal for parasites.
The use of GB-3. This is one of the most powerful digestive aids available (sold by Endomet Laboratories in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.) It contains a lot of ox bile, pancreatin, and Russian black radish. These components irritate parasites, help correct the intestinal pH, and have other beneficial effects.
A better lifestyle with more rest is helpful.
Ridding the body of toxic metals and toxic chemicals. This enhances vitality and helps create an unfavorable terrain or environment for parasites.
Near infrared sauna therapy. This seems to help remove parasites in many ways. Heating the body a few degrees can weaken and disable some parasites, including the one that causes Lyme disease, and others. Improving circulation can help as well. Near infrared energy feeds the human body, but is not beneficial for most parasites. Other mechanisms may be at work in the sauna as well, such as removing toxic substances that parasites feed upon.
Coffee enemas. This is probably the most powerful single additional procedure used in nutritional balancing. It stimulates bile flow, mechanically cleans the colon, upsets many parasite nesting places, and the coffee is probably somewhat toxic for them as well. Many people call me to say they notice parasites in their stool after a coffee enema. Often they feel much better when the parasites are removed. The coffee may be directly toxic for the parasites, or the enema may just help loosen them and remove them from the body. The coffee enema also reduces liver toxicity and promotes extra bile secretion that weakens many parasites. Coffee enemas also have reflex effects throughout the body.

Colonic irrigation. I do not need this procedure too often. However, if parasites in the colon are a real problem, then a series of 5 to 10 colonic irrigations can be very helpful to quickly loosen and remove them. Combining this with a nutritional balancing program is always best.
Other. Adding garlic, lots of cooked vegetables, and ozone therapy can often help.

PREVENTING PARASITIC INFECTION

This, of course, is best. However, it requires a careful lifestyle, and even then it is difficult. Traveling to other nations is not advised if one wishes to avoid parasites. Eat only cooked foods in restaurants, avoid all hot tubs, pools and other possible contaminated water and food. It also means attention to hygiene at all times. One should also be sure to wear long sleeves, long pants and socks in damp areas where ticks and other insects live, and preferably do not go to these areas. I believe if people realized how prevalent parasitic infection is, as I notice as a physician who regularly receives calls from people who are eliminating worms, for example, most people would be far more careful with their food, water and hygiene practices.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

Planet earth is teeming with parasitic diseases. Avoiding all of them is difficult, if not impossible. Fortunately, and quite amazingly, a properly designed nutritional balancing program will make the body much more resistant to all parasitic attack. It may take several years of following a program properly for this to begin to occur. However, this will provide protection against most, if not all parasites. This is the best method to prevent and heal parasitic infections that I know of.
