Parasites – Are they Wreaking Havoc on your Health
Parasites are uninvited guests. When you mention parasites, people think of intestinal worms. However, they also include Giardia and Yeast. When you get these, they need to be escorted out and that is why Parasite Cleansing can be helpful. Some of us may have these unwelcome guests and not even know it.

Parasite Cleansing
If you are not feeling well and can’t figure out what’s wrong, consider evicting these unwanted and uninvited guest with a parasite cleanse.
Do any of the following apply to you?
• Are you enjoying life with pets? You may want to consider doing a Parasite Cleanse once a year.
• Have you recently traveled abroad and not felt well since you returned? Uninvited guests are often picked up when traveling abroad.
• Do you grind your teeth, have anal itching, severe weight loss, diarrhea or alternating diarrhea with constipation, or battle with chronic digestive upset.
• Do you have symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis? If so, consider doing a milder parasite cleanse. Symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis include gas and bloating, frequent belching, brain fog, fatigue, constipation or diarrhea, reduced immunity, and even some nervous symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, and depression.

Types of Parasites
Types of Parasites- Nematodes – tiny worms like pinworms, whipworms, and hookworms. Pinworms are the most common and one of the easiest to detect.
- Tapeworms – can become quite large when you pass them. Often, in the beginning, they will look like grains of uncooked rice or cucumber seeds.
- Single-celled squatters—Giardia is a waterborne disease that can be picked up through drinking contaminated water or swimming and ingesting contaminated water from a body of water.
- Yeast and Fungus – Candida albicans (yeast), which can occur from several rounds of antibiotics or chemotherapy.

Other Tips to Help
If you are having trouble eliminating or are constipated, you may want to do a regular colon cleanse or a gentle laxative to make sure things are moving before doing the parasite cleanse. You also want to avoid simple sugars, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and caffeine. Focus on eating lean protein and lots of vegetables.
