Parasites

Revised Monday December 17, 2007

Welcome to the Secrete World of Parasites !!!

 

Hookworm

Hookworm

How many parasites are out there?  You don't want to know.  Unless, that is, you have a strong stomach.  Seriously... I'm not kidding !!!  We tend to isolate this stuff to third world nations.  Third world nations?  Not!  That's further than the truth.  Okay, answer this... 

  • Have you kissed your dog lately?

  • Or, has your dog licked your face?

  • How about your cat?

  • Run around outside bare foot?

  • Go hiking in the woods?

  • Drink stream or river water?

  • Did you swim in a lake?

  • In the ocean?

  • Forgot to wash your hands before dinner?

  • Did you really-really wash your fruits & vegetables and cook that meat all the way through?

The point is: we live in a organic world.  But we ignore the thought that the uninvited might be living in us, and on us.


"In terms of numbers, there are more parasitic infections acquired in this country [USA] than in Africa."  -Dr. Frank Nova, Chief of the Laboratory for Parasitic Diseases, National Institutes of Health

"We have a tremendous parasite problem right here in the U.S.  It is just not being addressed."  -Dr. Peter Wina, Chief of Patho-Biology at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research


There are over 100 deferent types of human-internal parasites.  That's not counting micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria, molds & fungi, and external parasites like lice & bugs.

The most common parasites will be discussed in this page.

Toxic Molds

There are several type of molds.  The more familiar mold is found growing in your kitchen.  Everyone has tasted it one time or another; you know, that white/green stuff on old cheese and bread.

Molds can be beneficial.  For example, we get penicillin from moldy cheese. However, there are some molds that can cause serious health problems, and they might be growing right under your nose!!

Stachybotrys chartarum (previously known as Stachybotrys atra), also known as Black Mold, produces airborne mycotoxins which can cause the following:

  • breathing difficulties

  • memory and hearing loss

  • dizziness

  • flu like symptoms

  • bleeding in the lungs

  • hair loss

  • headaches

A mycotoxin is "a toxin produced by a fungus."  So, you want to get totally grossed-out?  Read these articles:

Sick Building Syndrome

Office buildings can be contaminated with toxic molds, formaldehyde, asbestos, and other toxic chemicals.   Toxic molds can hide in the building's ventilation system.  Here are some signs to look for in your work place:

  • Everyone is coughing... all the time !!!

    • Note what time of year people are coughing... it will help to identify the source: whether the problem is in the heating or air conditioner system.

  • Headaches can be a sign too.

  • Unusual amount of sick leave.

  • Don't rule out the possibility the source maybe from the vehicle's heat or air conditioner !!!

Caution must be taken if you choose to report possible health violations in your work place.   When reporting any health violations to government agencies-- DO NOT identify yourself !!!  Keep yourself anonymous.  Businesses, especially large businesses, have been known to retaliate against whistleblowers.

Candida is a yeast organism, also known as....

  • Candida Albicans

  • Candidiasis

  • Yeast Infection

  • Yeast Proliferation

  • Thrush

  • Leaky Gut Syndrome

The following is a step-by-step guide to Candida Infection:

  1. Candida is a yeast organism and is naturally found in your colon.


    How to Stop Candida & Other Yeast Conditions in Their Tracks
    Amazon Canada Amazon UK


  2. Healthy bacteria in your colon feed on Candida, keeping Candida from over-infesting your colon; hence, a healthy balance is obtained.


  3. Modern medicine's antibiotics and alcohol destroys the healthy bacteria in the colon resulting in over-growth of Candida.


  4. Overgrown Candida has the ability to change from yeast to a fungus, actually having a root system like a plant.  The roots can penetrate through the colon allowing Candida yeast to infect the rest of the body.

  5. Fermented foods, such as sugar, fruits, alcohol, starches, will increase symptoms by giving food to the rogue yeast organisms.


  6. 100 symptoms result in Candida yeast infection, one of which is hair loss !!!

Washing hands

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and leading public health officials, simple hand-washing is the single most important method of preventing the spread of infection & disease.
