It's Time to Flush Out Those Parasites!

We've covered the first two steps of Dr. Edward F. Group III's Green Body Cleanse. Now it's time to talk about the third step: parasite/harmful organism cleansing!

 

Dr. Group recommends beginning your parasite clenase after finishing your second liver and gallbladder cleanse. Your parasite cleanse will take six weeks and can be performed alongside liver/gallbladder cleanses, chemical/heavy metal cleanses, and the green living cleanse. However, the parasite cleanse can also be performed all by itself.

 

The parasite cleanse is extremely easy to participate in and takes less than one minute each day. The parasite cleanse supplement should be taken every day for six weeks for the best results, as the life cycle of parasites, from eggs to adult, is approximately six weeks long.

 

There are no side effects connected with parasite cleansing, and you don't need to alter your diet in any way to have a successful cleanse.

 

How do you know if you have parasites? Here are a few of the symptoms:

• Changes in skin color
• Rashes and lesions
• Changes in bowel habits
• Itchy anus

 

Parasite cleanses work by creating a hostile environment which discourages parasites.

I Say Fluke, You Say Flatworm...

...but they're the same thing!

 

Fasciolopsis buski is the largest intestinal fluke in humans. It lives in the upper part of the small intestines. Adult worms produce an average of twenty-five thousand eggs each and every day.

 

Symptoms of fluke infestation include:

• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Allergies
• Vomiting
• Nausea
• Intestinal ulcers

 

It's suggested by research that this intestinal fluke passes from human to human through the exchange of bodily fluids during breastfeeding, sex, and other intimate activities.

 

And that wraps up our week of intestinal worms (phew!).

Trichinella: So THAT'S What Causes Trichinosis!

Trichinella is the worm that causes the disease trichinosis, which can lead to:

• Fever
• Diarrhea
• Muscle soreness
• Nausea
• Edema of the lips and face
• Vomiting
• Difficulty breathing
• Enlarged lymph glands
• Difficulty speaking
• Fatigue
• Dehydration

 

Trichinella infection is typically caused by eating raw or undercooked pork.

 

When a Trichinella worm is young, it encases itself in an animal's muscle tissue and then matures in a human host once that animal is consumed.

 

Just one huge reason to make sure your pork is cooked thoroughly!

Hookworms: These Suckers Are Nasty

Another common type of roundworm is the hookworm. Hookworms can actually penetrate human skin. This means that they can enter a host's body through the feet of those people that walk barefoot in areas contaminated with fecal matter. I'm a big lover of walking barefoot, but I'm not so sure that I'll be doing that any more...

 

Once a hookworm gets inside the body, it latches onto the intestinal wall with its fangs (I'm not kidding) and begins to suck your blood.

 

Most hookworm infections occur in tropical and subtropical areas. Symptoms include:

• Loss of appetite
• Stomach pain
• Nausea
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Bloody stool
• Itchy skin
• Gas
• Fatigue
• Fever

 

Hookworms can live in a host's body for up to ten years. If infection is not addressed, it can lead to serious symptoms and disorders including:

• Iron deficiency
• Heart problems

Roundworms: Far Too Common for My Taste

I think this may be the most difficult time I've had writing posts for this blog. I literally cringe every time I write about parasites, particularly parasitic worms. So let's not delay the nastiness any longer--let's get this over with!

 

Roundworms are one of the most common of all intestinal parasites. In fact, it's estimated that over one-and-a-half-billion people are infected with some form of roundworm. Ew. there are many different types of roundworms--the most common in humans are Trichinella, pinworms, and hookworms.

 

Let's start with pinworms, and then we'll focus on hookworms and Trichinella the next couple of days.

 

Pinworms are tiny, white, intestinal parasites that are believed to only target humans. Pinworm eggs move along to the small intestine, where they hatch and grow. Once they become adults, they make their home in the colon. They can live there for several months.

 

Symptoms of pinworm infection include:

• Insomnia
• Anal itchiness
• Poor appetite

 

What's really disturbing is that re-infestation can happen continuously, especially in small children, as the eggs are laid around the anus and, oftentimes, the itchiness causes the host to scratch and then transfer the eggs back to the mouth if the hands aren't washed thoroughly or frequently enough.

 

Transmission is also possible through contaminated toilets, bed linens, clothing, or other surfaces. Pinworm eggs can actually survive on surfaces outside of a human body for up to two weeks!!

 

Approximately forty million people in the United States are affected with pinworms. Disgusting.
