How can parasites hurt you?
- Parasites can damage the host’s body in a number of ways. They can:
- Destroy cells faster than cells can be regenerated.
- Produce toxic substances.
- Irritate body tissue.
- Invade body tissue, including the skin and intestinal lining.
- Put pressure on body organs.
- Depress immune system function while activating immune system response.
- Cause nutrient malabsorptoin.
Treatment
If you suspect you have parasites, a health practitioner can arrange a number of tests. These include stool tests, blood tests, tissue swabs, and more. These tests are often inconclusive. Many parasites that reside in the tissue or on the blood will not be found in fecal samples. Pinworms cannot usually be seen in stools. Parasites that adhere to the gastrointestinal tract lining are very hard to find. Often, only their eggs will be passed in the stool.
If you have parasites, there are a number of things you can do. Prescription drugs are available, and they do work, but like so many prescription drugs, they also can have many side effects.
There are also natural methods of ridding the body of parasites such as AIM’s Parasite Cleanse Health Solution.
