How to do a parasite cleanse

If you still think parasites only affect people in the developing country or the extensive travelers and thus the only people that need a parasite cleanse, I will have to tell you to think again. Parasites have been found infesting dwellers of both developed and developing countries, affecting both travelers and non-travelers alike. 85% of North American have at least one form of parasite, pointing to the fact that no one is completely immune against parasite.

What are parasites?

You may now be asking what exactly parasites are. Parasites are organisms living inside or on another organism known as the host, and benefits by deriving nutrients and protection at the expense of the host. In humans, these parasites have the ability to feed on our cells, foods, and even the supplements we take making us completely deprived of these things.

These bugs could be of different shapes and sizes. They could range from the small minute microscopic viruses, like malaria, all the way up to giant parasites that could be as long as 12 meters as seen in tapeworms.

Common human parasites

One of the most common parasites found infesting human is the Blastocystis hominis, a yeast-like single-celled parasitic organism that causes bloating, abdominal cramping, gas, and sometimes anal itching. However, we have some more other parasites common in human:

• Tapeworm which leaves in the intestine and could grow as long as 60 feet.
• Blood flukes, having their primary host to be snails can find their way into the skin and veins of human
• Hookworms. These parasites have the ability to suck blood from your intestine at every chance they get.
• Giardia which often results from drinking infected water
• Pinworms. These are the most common parasite in the United States and are often found in children causing anal itching at night.

Signs and symptoms that you may be infected

Parasites can affect tissue anywhere in the body causing many disorders like arthritis, appendicitis, cancer, epilepsy, and weight problems. However, these are more common symptoms that you may be infected with a parasite:

• diarrhea and/or constipation
• gas, bloating, and cramps
• rectal itching
• persistent skin problems
• dark circles under the eyes
• lack of energy
• disturbed sleep
• muscle cramps or joint pain
• post-nasal drip
• Reproductive and sexual organ problems

Nevertheless, you also need to know that parasitic infections are more common than you would think; they are everywhere and many times, they may be present in the body without showing any signs or symptoms which is why it is essential for you to regularly get parasite cleanse at least once in a year.

Parasite Cleanse

Parasite cleanse is simply targeting and removing the specific bacteria, worms, yeasts, or viruses that live on your skin or in your gut causing different parasitic infections. When this is done properly, it becomes more specific in getting rid of the parasites rather than also affecting the natural indigenous and beneficial organisms living also in these areas.

How to do a parasite Cleanse

You can properly achieve a parasite cleaning by following this 4-step process. The process will help you completely rid of the bad bugs and also protect you from subsequent infections.

Step 1: Weaken the Parasites
The first step is to get the bugs weakened out before a proper parasite detox is conducted. You can achieve this by taking enough garlic in your meals for 10 days. It will be easier if you could use a garlic capsule in this case and take 2 capsules of it with each meal 3 times a day. This will help you lose the grip of the parasites on your body. You can also take some anti-parasitic like coconut oil, papaya juice, or onions to achieve this.

Step 2: Starve the parasites out!
In order to achieve a proper parasite cleanse, you will also have to make some adjustments to your diet. If you keep supplying your body with foods rich in sugar during the cleanse, you will only be making the removal of these parasites more difficult because they actually feed on sugars to survive.
So, you will have to go on a diet that is sugar-free and as well free of grains. I will also recommend you avoid sugar sources like honey and fruits.

Step 3: flush them out!
Here you will have to eat enough anti parasite foods that will help kill the parasites and naturally rid them of your body. Here are a few examples of the foods to consider for parasite detox:

1. Raw fruits with lots of fiber: you will need to take some fruits rich in fiber and less sugar in order not to encourage a conducive environment for the parasites to thrive. Examples of such fruits are kiwi, berries, apples, mangoes, figs, papayas, dates, prunes, e.t.c.
2. Vegetables: this is full of fiber and good to keep the colon moving with the least amount of sugars. It is the best food to stay with during parasite cleanse. You can decide to make them into smoothies, salads, or steam them. Examples include celery, broccoli, lettuce, sprouts, beets, parsnips, e.t.c.
3. Nuts and Seeds: high in fat but also contain lots of fiber. Almond appears to be the best in this group, sesame seeds, pine nuts, whole flax seeds, sunflower seeds, e.t.c are all great.
4. Brown Rice and whole wheat: this group also contains lots of fiber in them for free movement in the colon. However, ensure you are going with brown rice and not the regular pasta.

Step 4: help the body prevent future infestation
After getting rid of the parasites, the next thing to do is to help strengthen your body to prevent reinfestation of the parasites again. The best way to do this is by taking a few probiotics and supplements.

Also, keep off the junk foods and take more water. A few examples of supplements that could be helpful in parasite detox are Black walnut, Wormwood, Oregano Oil, Grapefruit seed extract, Clove oil. All these supplements have anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic effects that could really be of help.

Final Thought

Regular parasite cleanse could have lots of positive effect on your health, so be determined to have it. However, ensure you keep off sugar from your diet as much as possible during cleanse because it is the number one factor that could sabotage your effort.
