The truth is that parasites are a universal part of daily life. Only those with the most vibrant immune systems can hold them at bay. In fact, parasites are very tricky and have ways of getting under the radar of even the most competent immune systems.
We don’t need them but they need us (that’s the definition of a parasite). Their egg forms lurk everywhere and you can become infected at any time.
Most people think that if you are clean living and take precautions, like frequent hand washing, you won’t get parasites. That’s not true. You can pick up an egg or cyst anywhere.
There is a well-known medical history of a strict, clean-living, orthodox Jew from New York. He was admitted to hospital with what’s called a “space occupying lesion” in the skull. That usually means a tumor, starting to squeeze the brain and producing strange symptoms.
But when operated on, the neurosurgeon found a large growing cyst from a pork tapeworm. It was an easy, if revolting, cure and the man had cause to be thankful the diagnosis was as lenient as it was. But the striking part of this story is that the man never ate pork in his life… I mean ever!
He had touched a door knob or telephone or some other object at some time, which was infected with eggs. Probably touched his mouth or lips later and that was it: the worm was inside him and travelled to his skull. It only takes one egg to make a cyst the size of a baseball. This condition is called “cysticercosis”.
Cysts can linger in the brain for years without symptoms. You could have several in your skull right now and not know it. Eventually, when the cyst grows to a certain size, symptoms can include seizures, occasional focal neurological signs, headaches, nausea, vomiting, lethargy and altered mental status from increased intracranial pressure.
Parasites can be very dangerous. As I said, people die of cysticercosis. One major infestation goes by the scary name of Necator americanus; that means “American murderer”!
One fish tapeworm will drain so much of the vitamins and nutrients from your body, notably B12, that you could die of anemia and other deficiency states. This particular tapeworm is the biggest of all and can grow to over 30 feet in length (yes, you figured it out: it will hang out of your anus like a strap as you walk along).
They can walk through your eye orbit and get into your eyeballs. That’s not nice and can result in pain and blurred or disturbed vision.
Anti-parasite drug treatments are unpleasnt, with very nasty side-effects. That’s apart from the result of having half dead worm, several inches long, crawling up your gullet, into your nose and wriggling out of you nostril as you speak to someone. Yes, that actually happens, trust me. These things are shudderingly horrible.
Excuse me showing you the next picture, but you had better know… This is Ascaris worms crawling out of the kid’s mouth and nose (Ascaris is endemic in the USA, meaning IT LIVES HERE, it doesn’t just come from travellers abroad).
So how do you know if you have got a possible parasite infection. First, remember my position is that you DO have one or more parasites, unless you have taken steps to eliminate them already.
Possible symptoms of an ongoing parasitic infection include:
You need to know what you are up against. I have prepared a major eBook, to help you learn the extent of the problem. As usual, it is JAM PACKED with information. I hold nothing back. I’m not trying to sell you anything at all, no products, I don’t take patients. So I have no financial interest in tricking you. I can be totally objective in what I report to you. I have laid it all bare for you. You’ll shudder with horror — but at least you’ll be educated (you’ll know more than your doctor, most likely).
I called this report “Absolutely Disgusting”, to make it memorable, to make it stick. It’s “How to Diagnose and Treat Parasites” of all kinds.
If there is any doubt, you’ll need to know what tests to call for and what each means. Unfortunately, most hospital laboratories have very poor diagnostic standards and routine miss serious parasite infections (young, inexperienced lab technicians, who can’t grasp what they are looking at, or explain it away as an artefact).
I list the laboratories that are good and the tests that count, so you can be in no doubt.
Finally, many people embark on a course of antiparasite treatment without a clear diagnosis and get a very good result.
It’s like pets: don’t we “worm” our cats and dogs regularly? Humans should do the same. In the old days that meant rhubarb and sulfur or brimstone and treacle! Almost as bad as the disease!
Fortunately, there are far better options today! I explain all your choices in this report.
There are literally scores of things you can do and I have rounded up all the good ones that work, from time-honored herbal cures to remarkable electronic machines that can seek out the frequency of a critter and “zap” it.
But nothing is simple with these monsters. They’ll be back in a week, if you don’t know what you are about. Diet is crucial and some dietary elements are just asking for trouble, particularly sugar and vitiated foods (junk).
I’ll also tell you about terrain and how to make your tissues as hostile as possible for them, instead of a luxury hotel. Heavy metal poisoning (mercury, lead, aresenic, aluminium, etc.) is an open invitation to these brutes to step right in and set up a comfortable home inside you, snacking on your body, tissues and maybe even brain. Uuugghhh!
We are talking HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS critters. They just hop from person to person, or from your beloved pooch or pussycat, right into your mouth, without you even knowing it. It’s called the fecal-oral route (no, don’t even go there); but you can’t beat it, no matter how much you scrub and wash. One unguarded moment when you stroke your pet, or touch a door knob, and then touch your face unthinkingly, and they are in!
It makes sense therefore to be sure you are living with clean pets and clean family, so that you don’t keep bouncing eggs and cysts backwards and forwards.
