Parasites easily enter 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 "unwanted guests" on its own. But when it is weakened, the parasites calmly reach their location. To destroy them, drugs and folk remedies are equally popular.
When should you cleanse your body of parasites?
The presence of parasites in the body leads to a decrease in immunity, and a large number of them disrupt the functioning of organs and can lead to death. Therefore, if symptoms characteristic of an 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. Additionally, some parasites can inhabit the brain. |
| Rapid loss of strength, constant feeling of weakness and fatigue | Due to the consumption of nutrients by parasites, the body lacks energy. |
| Depression and frequent psychological breakdowns | Due to the action of toxins, the functioning of the nervous system and the brain deteriorates. |
| A sharp decrease in immunity (expressed in 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 locate in the digestive tract and disrupt its functioning. |
| Excessive saliva production and frequent hunger | Saliva is necessary for the normal digestion of food. It is produced when the stomach prepares to receive food. If parasites are present, they absorb certain nutrients and the body suffers an energy deficit. Therefore, the brain often sends hunger signals to the stomach and salivary glands. |
| Reduced appetite and weight loss | Occurs in the presence of a large number of parasites and severe poisoning. |
| Stool changes (constipation and diarrhea) | Caused by parasites blocking the rectum and disrupting its lining. |
| Pain in muscle tissue | Parasites absorb vitamins, minerals and proteins necessary for normal muscle function. There are also individuals located in muscle tissue. |
| Various forms of allergic reactions that cannot be treated with medication | Parasites cause a decrease in immunity, which prevents the body from resisting 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 | This 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 breakouts, including age spots | Caused by immune system dysfunction and lack of nutrients. |
| Nighttime itching in the anus | The worms lay their eggs in the folds of the anus. Their exit from the rectum and the juice secreted during egg laying irritate the skin. |
| Presence of parasites and their larvae in stools | Most "unwelcome guests" live in the digestive tract and, if there are many of them, they can leave the body naturally. |
| Enlarged liver and yellow complexion | It is caused by parasites when they colonize the liver and disrupt the functioning of the organ. |
| Cough without respiratory system pathology | Certain types of parasites can settle in the lungs where the larval maturation process takes place there. |
It is necessary to use antiparasitic means once every 6 months if there is an animal in the house (even if the animal does not go out). Parasite larvae can enter the animal's fur from dirty shoes or the digestive tract from raw meat.
