Parasites easily penetrate the body and exist at the expense of the host’s nutrients. In a healthy person, the immune system is able to get rid of "uninvited guests" on its own. But when it is weakened, the parasites calmly reach their localization site. To destroy them, medications and folk remedies are equally popular.
When do you need to cleanse your body of parasites?
The presence of parasites in the body leads to a decrease in immunity, and a large number of them disrupts the functioning of organs and can lead to death. Therefore, if symptoms characteristic of infection are detected, it is recommended to undergo examination and treatment.
Signs of parasites:
| Symptom | Reason for appearance |
|---|---|
| Unreasonable headaches or dizziness | During their life, parasites release toxins that cause poisoning of the body. Also, some parasites can inhabit the brain. |
| Rapid loss of strength, constant feeling of weakness and fatigue | Due to the parasites' consumption of nutrients, the body experiences a lack of energy. |
| Depression and frequent psychological breakdowns | Due to the action of toxins, the functioning of the nervous system and brain deteriorates. |
| A sharp decrease in immunity (expressed as frequent colds) and a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin | The symptom is caused by a lack of nutrients |
| Nausea without eating or the presence of unnatural odors | Caused by intoxication of the body, parasites can also be localized in the digestive tract and disrupt its functioning. |
| Excessive saliva production and frequent hunger | Saliva is necessary for normal digestion of food. It is produced when the stomach prepares to receive food. If parasites are present, some of the nutrients are absorbed by them, and the body experiences an energy deficiency. Therefore, the brain often sends hunger signals to the stomach and salivary glands. |
| Decreased appetite and weight loss | Occurs when there are a large number of parasites and severe intoxication. |
| Changes in bowel movements (constipation and diarrhea) | Caused by blockage of the rectum by parasites and disruption of its mucous membrane. |
| Pain in muscle tissue | Parasites absorb the necessary vitamins, minerals and proteins for normal muscle function. There are also individuals that are localized in muscle tissue. |
| Various forms of allergic reactions that cannot be treated with medications | Parasites cause a decrease in immunity, as a result of which the body cannot resist allergens. |
| Presence of teeth grinding during sleep | This symptom has no verified justification. Perhaps the manifestation is caused by a disruption in the functioning of the nervous system due to the vital activity of parasites. |
| Dry skin, brittle hair and nails | It occurs due to a lack of vitamins and minerals, and dehydration of the body occurs due to intoxication. |
| Pimples and blackheads often appear on the face and take a long time to heal. | Develops due to poisoning of the body with toxins. |
| Dermatological rashes, including age spots | Caused by a malfunction of the immune system and lack of nutrients. |
| Night itching in the anus | Worms lay their eggs in the folds of the anus. Their exit from the rectum and the juice secreted when laying eggs irritate the skin. |
| Presence of parasites and their larvae in feces | Most of the "uninvited guests" live in the digestive tract and, if there are large numbers of them, they can leave the body naturally. |
| Enlarged liver and yellow skin tone | It is caused by parasites when they colonize the liver and disrupt the functioning of the organ. |
| Cough without pathology in the respiratory system | Some types of parasites can settle in the lungs or the process of larval maturation takes place there. |
It is necessary to use means to destroy parasites once every 6 months if there is an animal in the house (even if the pet does not go outside). Parasite larvae can get onto the animal's fur from dirty shoes or into the digestive tract from raw meat.
