Parasites in the human body

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headaches and insomnia, which indicates intoxication.

How to get rid of parasites

What are Parasites?These are animals, plants or microorganisms that live at the expense of their owner.They feed on its cells or tissues, using vitamins and nutrients that should have been used to build the host's body cells.Parasites also poison the body with substances that they release during their life processes.

In medicine, only multicellular and protozoan parasites are referred to as human parasites, while viruses and bacteria are classified as pathogens.Let's look at what types of parasites exist in the human body, what symptoms their presence shows and how they are treated with folk remedies.

Types of parasites in the human body and where they live

Both single-celled organisms and multicellular parasites occur in the human body or on its surface.If the parasite lives on the skin, it is called an ectoparasite;This species includes lice, bed bugs and the pathogen that causes scabies.Endoparasites are protozoa (giardia, amoeba), helminths (worms, worms) or insect larvae that can live in human organs and tissues.

Each parasite develops in a specific part of the human body where the conditions for its life are best.Some parasites migrate (move) through the body from one organ to another depending on their stage of development.Ectoparasites live on the skin and endogenous parasites are found in the intestines, muscles, blood, heart, lungs, liver and even nervous tissue.

A person can become infected with parasites in different ways.This is due to the development cycle of a particular type of parasite.Therefore, there are several ways for the parasite to invade the host's body.Through contaminated food and water.In addition, in some cases contamination occurs during storage and preparation;Flies and cockroaches also contribute to this.And sometimes food can be contaminated from the start, for example when poorly thermally processed fish or meat from infected animals is used in cooking.

The contact-household route is where parasites are transmitted from one person to another through household items or pets.

Transmissible route when parasites are transmitted by blood-sucking insects.

Once on human skin, some parasite larvae can gnaw through it on their own and penetrate the body.For example, the larva of the human skin fly, which causes dermatobiasis.

Symptoms of infection of the human body by parasites

The symptoms that occur during an infection can be varied and are often related to the location of the parasite.Thus, ectoparasites cause damage to the skin.If the parasite lives in the lungs, the patient may experience coughing and shortness of breath.When parasites are detected in the intestines, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting and much more occur.

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headaches and insomnia, which indicates intoxication.Allergic reactions often occur, leading to dermatitis, skin rashes and even bronchial asthma.

Parasites in the intestinesThey use nutrients from food for their growth and development.For this reason, there is a deficiency of them in the human body.This is particularly dangerous for children as their growth slows and their physical and mental development is impaired.

Parasites adapt well, can live in the same organism for years, and their eggs and larvae show significant resistance to the environment.To protect themselves, parasites in the digestive organs can secrete special substances that inactivate enzymes and disrupt the process of food digestion.Therefore, the symptoms in a patient with parasites in the intestines often resemble diseases of the digestive system.

Why are helminths dangerous?

Helminths are worms, they can be small or reach 7-10 meters in length.Sometimes the development cycle of helminths goes in such a way that a person becomes infected with them again.The first part of the cycle occurs in the intestines and with repeated infection the eggs invade the muscles, lungs, liver and kidneys.

The most common helminths found in humans are parasites of the intestines, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver and cause:

• Ascariasis, the larvae migrate through the liver to the lungs and return to the intestines, where the adult individual develops;
• Opisthorchiasis, which most commonly affects the liver, can lead to cancer or cirrhosis;
• Cestodose – tapeworm infection resulting from consumption of poorly thermally processed meat and fish;
• Tapeworms live long and reach enormous sizes.The pork tapeworm is very dangerous; its eggs can penetrate the blood vessels and migrate to the muscles and brain;
• Schistosomiasis, which is caused by fluke parasites and flatworms;
• Toxocariosis, difficult to detect, can affect eyes and nerve tissue and often cause allergic reactions;
• Echinococcosis – Echinococci parasitize the liver and lungs.

There are also diseases that are less common.These are trichinosis, fascioliasis, enterobiasis, echinostomosis and others.

There are several ways to treat parasites in the human body using folk remedies.Some are used against specific parasites, others help eliminate a whole group of parasitic infections, and still others help cleanse organs and systems.Let's take a closer look at how to get rid of certain parasites in the body using folk remedies.

How to get rid of protozoa and protozoan parasites

The most common protozoan parasites are:

• Roundworm;
• amoebas, lamblia, blastocysts, balantidia, leishmania and other intestinal parasites;
• Trypanosomes, pathogens of malaria and babesia, are found in the blood;
• in the genitourinary system - Trichomonas - infection occurs through sexual contact;
• in the heart, liver, brain and eyes – Toxoplasma (the infection occurs most often in cats, affects nervous tissue and leads to early miscarriages), trypanosomes, Naegleria Fowler, Acanthamoeba.

It has been found that parasites really don't like hot peppers and aromatic herbs.So, cooking food, seasoning it with onions, horseradish and garlic, and using cinnamon and cloves in baking can help in the fight against parasites.

Cleansing with cranberry juice.Make enemas - 2 liters of water, 2 tablespoons of cranberry juice and one tablespoon of salt, twice a day.Helps with protozoan parasites and helminths.

How to get rid of ectoparasites

The most common ectoparasites are:

• lice (head, pubic, body lice);
• bed bugs;
• scabies, itching;
• Demodex (lives in eyebrows and eyelashes).

Of course, these parasites are more often transmitted through things and you can only get rid of them if you follow the rules of hygiene.However, traditional medicine recommends kerosene, vinegar with salt, burdock decoction and elecampane to kill lice.You can also use a mixture of mint and pomegranate or cranberry juice.

To treat scabies, use a mixture of lard, laundry soap and sulfur.You can also grease the skin with black powder with sour cream or a mixture of garlic, onions and laundry soap.

General cleansing of the entire body from parasites using traditional methods

How to get rid of parasites in the human body using folk remedies?There are three plants that cleanse the body and remove both protozoan parasites and helminths - these are the shells of green walnuts, wormwood and cloves.

1. Cleaning from parasites with walnut shells.Take 15 nuts, remove the green shell, pour 500 g of vodka and set aside for a month.Take 1 drop in half a glass of water and increase the dose by one drop every day for 5 days.Then increase the dose to 2 teaspoons twice daily and then to 2 teaspoons per day for a year.
2. Cleansing with wormwood.Grind dry seeds.Start by taking a pinch of powder per day and gradually increase the dose to half a teaspoon by the 15th day.Then take half a teaspoon a day for a week, you can divide it into several doses and then use the same dose once a week.
3. Cleansing with cloves.Grind the seeds into powder.You should take the powder starting from 1.5 teaspoons and reduce the dose to one spoon over 10 days.

In the absence of these components, cleansing from parasites can be carried out using dried calamus, tansy seeds and calendula.Cleansing the body of parasites with folk remedies should be carried out with parallel cleansing of the intestines and liver.

How to cleanse the intestines

Cleansing the intestines from parasites is no less important.Simple methods can help.

Liver cleanse

Many types of parasites live in the liver and bile ducts of the human body.It is difficult to get rid of them there because drugs are often toxic to the liver itself.The use of common cleaning products is therefore particularly important.

1. Collection of medicinal herbs.Brew a mixture of equal parts oak bark, chamomile, tansy and sea buckthorn.Take 100 ml on an empty stomach for 5 days.Then clean the liver once a week.
2.

How to quickly get rid of parasites in the liver and body at home

According to medical parasitology, parasites are all living beings that live at the expense of their host.

Exceptions are viruses and bacteria.

Parasites are divided into protozoa and helminths.

Protozoa provoke giardiasis, toxoplasmosis, malaria, trichomoniasis and other diseases.Helminths are a source of ascariasis, echinococcosis, enterobiasis and other diseases.

The properties of harmful microorganisms include:

• complete dependence on the owner;
• threat to human health and normal functioning;
• close connection with the owner for a certain period of time.

Types of parasitic organisms

Two types of parasites are usually found in the human body:

• Roundworms are roundworms up to 40 centimeters long.Adults live in the small intestine and move quietly through it;their lifespan is one year;
• broad tapeworm - tapeworm or tapeworm.They live in the human intestine and live up to 25 years.

Giardia, staphylococci, streptococci and pinworms are sometimes found.

How does infection occur?

1. Drink contaminated tap water.The size of some species of parasites allows them to slip through an ordinary filter.
2. Dirty or unwashed vegetables and fruits (mainly exotic ones) contribute to infection.
3. Contact with pets.Infection is possible from a distance of just five meters from the animal (parasites are transmitted via saliva and air).
4. Blood-sucking insects are carriers of harmful microorganisms.
5. Some types of parasites are transmitted through respiratory droplets or handshakes.
6. Contaminated meat products that have not undergone high-quality heat treatment become the cause of infection.
7. The main source of parasites is raw fish.

Symptoms and signs

Parasites spread throughout the body via the circulatory and lymphatic systems.They can be found in every organ.They typically accumulate in the intestines, liver, bile ducts and kidneys.

The main signs of the presence of harmful microorganisms in the body include:

• Intestinal dysfunction – a person suffers from frequent constipation or diarrhea;
• Discomfort in the stomach and intestines, possibly bloating and bloating;
• severe weight loss, at the same time there is an increase in appetite (sometimes severe obesity occurs);
• reduced immunity;
• a feeling of constant fatigue, anxiety and a person begins to feel depressed;

• yellowing of the whites of the eyes;
• bad breath;
• Dizziness;
• bruises under the eyes;
• hair and nails become brittle;
• the patient has skin problems - acne, dermatosis, dermatitis;There are congestion in the corners of the mouth and cracks in the heels.

How do you recognize?

1. A stool test is required to detect worm eggs.It is advisable to repeat this analysis 2-3 times, as the passing of feces may coincide with the time when the parasites have not yet laid eggs.
2. A blood test to check for antibodies that the body produces to kill parasites.This method only shows results in later stages of the disease.

Preparation for cleaning

A few days before the body is freed from parasites, you should switch to a diet that facilitates the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

1. It is necessary to reduce the consumption of meat products.
2. Eat more fiber-rich vegetables.
3. Increase the content of vegetables, dairy products, seeds, seaweed, greens and fruits in your diet.It is believed that parasites cannot tolerate red and green foods.

Cleaning at home

The first method is to cleanse the body with medications.Medication must be prescribed by the attending physician.

The drugs have a strong toxic effect and have a number of contraindications.After treatment, it is worth taking a course to strengthen the immune system.

   Pumpkin seeds should be sprinkled with salt water, then heated in a pan or fried in a small amount of vegetable oil with the addition of salt.The treat is eaten regardless of the meal.

Complications and consequences

Parasites have a negative effect on the host.They gradually poison the body with waste products and weaken human immunity.

After cleaning harmful microorganisms, the following reactions are possible:

• Allergy;
• Immunodeficiency;
• decreased hemoglobin levels;
• chronic diseases of organs in which harmful microorganisms are located.

Parasites have a negative effect on the condition of children.

They cause delay in physical and mental development, memory impairment and delayed sexual development.

Who shouldn't be cleaned?

Parasites cannot be removed at home in the following situations:

• Patients with heart disease (history of heart attack, stroke);
• in oncological tumors;
• during exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• patients with acute kidney and liver failure;
• people suffering from ulcers and gastritis;
• during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• against colds.

Parasites cause a lot of trouble and harm the owner's health.A person can live with harmful microorganisms for many years without noticing it.
