The dreaded parasite! Well don’t worry about saying, “Not Me” because chances are, “yes, even you.” There are many types of parasites and some that are predominantly in certain areas only, but when a person gets that parasite and travels it can then be transmitted to anyone, anywhere, without anyone knowing.
Ok, so first let’s talk about some of the ways of getting parasites.
Walking Barefoot – That just about covers two-thirds of the world.
Not washing your hands thoroughly after using the restroom—well we have all seen the drive by hand washes in the restrooms.
Eating out—when you eat out there are quite a few things to consider. Every person who touches your food must have thoroughly washed their hands. The food must be properly cared for as in washing the vegetables and fruits VERY thoroughly, and properly cooking the foods. Beef has a 20 percent chance of having parasites since only 80 percent of beef is checked for parasites before being sent out to the public.
Not washing your own fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating—most parasites are microscopic, so just wash as well as you can.
Small children—they are pretty much walking parasites. They don’t wash their hands well, they touch everything, they play in the dirt and will put their fingers in our mouths as well as theirs.
Pets—especially if they sleep in your bed or lick you in the face.
Contaminated water
Let me also state that a parasite is just an organism that feeds off of another organism. And like I said earlier, most are microscopic, but some can be quite large in the form of like a tapeworm which can grow to be four to eight feet long. These predominantly come from Beef that is raw or undercooked and is most common to man and is found worldwide. There are other parasites like pin worms, hookworms, roundworms, etc.
Some of the best ways to take care of parasites is to do a parasite cleanse and do colonics during it to get rid of any die off of the worms. You can also eat garlic or buy garlic pills, obviously be very conscious of the above causes of parasites.
Some of the symptoms of parasites can be, and these are listed in no particular order, and are for all types of parasites: rectal itching, gas, digestive problems, grinding teeth, allergies, snoring, anemia, asthma, restlessness, diabetes, arthritis, leukemia, lymphoma, MS, psoriasis and the list goes on!
