Parasite Cleanse

A parasite cleanse is required if your body is overburdened with other toxins. For the most part, if your body is healthy, then your immune system can deal with the parasites. If your circulation is poor, or your organs and tissues are oxygen deprived, or your pH is out of balance, tissues begin to deteriorate. This sets up an environment suitable for parasites to invade your body. They will naturally migrate to those areas of the body where your body is not functioning optimally. So they can be present in your blood, your joints, your organs, you name it! While parasites may not necessarily be the cause of a disease, they are extremely opportunistic and can make a disease worse.

There are many reasons to consider a parasite cleanse. It is estimated that parasites infect up to 80% of the world population, and that these infestations are not limited to developing nations with poor sanitation. Common lab tests screen for only forty of the hundreds of parasites that can live within the human body. In addition, most tests are performed on stool samples, but in reality only a few parasites inhabit the intestinal tract. Thus many people can test negative when in fact they do have parasites.

What is a parasite?
A parasite is an organism that derives its food, nutrition and shelter by living in or on another organism.

How would I possibly get bad parasites?
Malaria, giardia, and roundworm can be spread from country to country due to increased immigration and travel. Popularity of raw or undercooked foods, in particular meats and fish, can spread parasites. Until recently, the US government had banned the import of Italian prosciutto because the traditional method used to cure the pork did not involve heat of any kind.

You know how certain beaches are closed to swimmers after heavy rains? This is because the bacterial and parasite levels are extremely high and create the risk of infection. If you live in high smog areas, you will be more susceptible to parasite invasion.

Probably the most common method of transmission is through pets. Even if you wash your hands after petting your dog or cat or handling your scaly or feathered friends, you can still get parasites by picking up their bedding or their food dish or when they come over and lick you. This is the reason why women are advised to stop emptying the cat litter box while they are pregnant.

So what is a toxin-conscious person to do? A routine parasite cleanse!

Possible Signs of Parasitic Infestation
Since parasites will naturally inhabit the weaker areas of your body, symptoms can manifest in many different ways.

• Stomach pain, indigestion, ulcers, constipation or colitis may indicate parasites in the digestive tract
• Uncontrollable movements, such as Parkinson’s disease, may indicate parasites in the nervous system
• Joint or muscle pain, such as arthritis, can be a sign that the presence of a parasite is irritating the joint or tissue and thereby causing inflammation
• Increased susceptibility to infections in lungs, sinuses, vagina, bladder or any mucous membrane may indicate the presence of a parasite
• Food and environmental allergies are often linked to parasites because as digested food is released into the intestines, it can seep through perforations caused by the parasites into the lymphatic system
• Dermatitis, itching, psoriasis, eczema, hives, swelling and rashes can indicate parasites in the skin
• Anemia, fatigue or drowsiness after meals may indicate that parasites are competing with the body for nutrients

Cleansing Sequence
I have seen conflicting information on when to undertake this cleanse – in conjunction with the colon cleanse or after the liver cleanse. However, the consensus is that if your body has a low level of toxicity (no chronic symptoms and regular bowel movements), then sequence is less important. If you are experiencing any chronic symptoms or have not been following a natural and organic food diet, then I would recommend that you do the colon cleanse and the parasite cleanse first, followed by the kidney cleanse and then the liver cleanse.

Parasite Cleanse Guide
You may have read about certain foods and herbs that kill certain parasites. Studies have shown that 4 glasses pomegranate juice daily will kill tapeworms. One-quarter cup of finely ground pumpkin seeds can eliminate many other varieties of worms. But, if you suspect that you have a parasite, but cannot rely on the common lab tests to tell you what you have, then what can you do?

As with other types of cleanses, there are two way to arrive at a solution. The do-it-yourself method requires that you find and purchase all of the ingredients and then administer them in the right dosages. This task can be time consuming and not necessarily inexpensive, despite the label "do-it-yourself".

Using the kit method, you can purchase a kit, consisting of a mixture of various anti-parasite supplements and herbal laxatives. While this may seem like it should cost more, take it from someone that has done a lot of cleanses, by the time you purchase all of the ingredients in their minimum quanities, you really do not save that much money using the do-it-yourself method. If you wish to, you can skip ahead to the kit method.

Do-It-Yourself Parasite Cleanse
All sources that I have read agree that the best parasite cleanse consists of a combination of herbs to eliminate adult parasites and their eggs. A common formula uses three particular herbs: black walnut hulls, wormwood and cloves. The walnut hulls and wormwood kill parasites in the adult and developmental stages, while the cloves kill the eggs. Thus by using the three herbs in combination, you kill the parasites at all stages of its life cycle.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Be careful with your source of black walnut hulls. The hulls must be harvested green, before they decay and turn black, in order to retain their medicinal properties. Look for black walnut hulls in a tincture solution in most health food stores.

2. There are a lot of different plants that are commonly called wormwood. The one with the maximum parasite-fighting capability is the one with the scientific name “Artemesia”. It is extremely bitter and best taken in capsule form.

3. There are no particular precautions with cloves. However, if you are putting them in capsules yourself, freshly grind whole cloves yourself. Ground cloves found in the spice aisle of most grocery stores are often stale, which means they have lost their medicinal value.

Typical Side Effects
There are no typical side effects from these herbs at recommended dosages, though you may experience a healing crisis as your body eliminates the parasites and begins to heal itself. Drink plenty of water while on any parasite cleanse. Nevertheless, do not exceed recommended dosages in an effort to speed up the parasite cleanse! Always remember that too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily better for you. Lastly, you do not need to stop other medications or herbal therapies.

Complete Parasite Cleanse
You will need:

• Organic apple juice
• Tincture of black walnut hull
• Bottle of Wormwood capsules (200-300mg each)
• Bottle of Clove capsules (500 mg each)
• Bottle of L-ornithine capsules (500 mg each)

Begin the parasite cleanse around the full moon, which is when parasites are most active. Take the herbal combination 30 minutes before meals or on an empty stomach. Plan on taking 1-4 L-ornithine capsules at night if you have trouble sleeping during the cleanse.

Week 1: Add 30 drops of the black walnut hull to one cup of organic apple juice. Drink with one capsule each wormwood and cloves. Take this dose of herbs 3 times per day.

Week 2: Stay at 30 drops of the black walnut hull to one cup of organic apple juice. Increase the wormwood and cloves to 2 capsules each. Take this dose of herbs 3 times per day.

Week 3: Stay at 30 drops of the black walnut hull to one cup of organic apple juice. Increase the wormwood and cloves to 3 capsules each. Take this dose of herbs 3 times per day.

Most parasites will die within a week, but continue for at least three weeks and for up to three months. If you continue longer than three weeks, simply maintain the Week 3 dosage for the remainder of the cleanse.

Concerns About Do-It-Yourself Cleanses
While I wholeheartedly believe in the parasite cleanse described on this page, and I have used it and recommended it with great success, I have growing concerns about the efficacy and variability of do-it-yourself cleanses based on individual ingredients. The efficacy can vary greatly depending on the manufacturers' quality standards, and the age / shelf life of the supplement.

Kit Method of Parasite Cleanse
Instead of assembling all of the ingredients yourself, you may choose from one of numerous supplement-based parasite cleansing kits available at your health food store or online. A complete supplement-based parasite cleansing kit should have some form of herbal laxative and herbs to expel adult parasites and kill the eggs. You should also make sure that the whatever supplement based product you purchase is fresh (not past its shelf life) and comes from a reputable supplier. There are a large number of suppliers of herbal supplements that produce their supplements without the sufficient quality controls and standards to guarantee purity, quality and efficacy.

The easiest kits to use are ones that come with all of the ingredients pre-mixed, to save you the time and hassle of looking up dosages. I have found that while the kit method may appear to be more expensive initially, after using the do-it-yourself method on numerous occassions, it is actually not more expensive to use the kit method.

After having investigated a number of kits available on the market in terms of ingredients, ease of use and supplier credibility and quality, here is my recommendation for a parasite cleanse kit.

Drink Plenty of Water
Remember to drink plenty of water each day to flush the excreted toxins out of your system! Information on the benefit of drinking water will provide you with guidelines on the minimum amount of water you should be drinking. The more water you drink, the more toxins your body will be able to expel as part of this cleanse, and the better you will feel through the cleansing process.

Re-infestation will occur so consider doing the parasite cleanse once or twice a year. Children are especially susceptible to parasites since they are always sticking things in their mouths. While teenagers can take adult dosages, please consult a natural doctor for the proper doses for children.

Parasites and Parasite Cleansing

A parasite cleanse, also known as a harmful organism cleanse is the use of powerful all-natural ingredients, which are ingested into the body with the purpose of ridding the intestines and colon of unwanted parasites. The parasite cleansing process can range in duration from one to two days to possibly a week in which the chosen cleansing product is ingested. These products contain powerful anti-parasitic ingredients, such as black walnut hull and clover seed(see more ingredients below), which serve to dislodge and destroy unwanted parasites which are then eliminated from the body during bowel movements. It has long been known since the discoveries of great scientists such as Louis Pasteur, in the 17th century, that germs and bacteria, which are all types of parasites, cause an array of disease and infections. This is why today we use anti-bacterial soap, sanitize our eating utensils and make sure our food is properly cooked. Unfortunately, even with these types of precautionary measures, it is proven that worms, germs and bacteria still find a way to inhabit our bodies by way of drinking and ground water, improperly handled food sources, direct contact through the skin, insects and other humans. A natural parasite cleansing program serves to not only get rid of the worm-type of parasites but also the intestinal fungi and harmful bacteria that builds up in the intestines, decreases nutrient absorption, and makes us less healthy. The overall benefits of parasite cleansing include better nutrient absorption during digestion which will give you noticeably increased energy, as well as the better overall functioning of your immune system.

How Do Parasites Affect Humans?

The term parasite can be defined by two broad categories and it is important to understand that not all of the parasites living in our bodies are harmful. An intestinal parasite is considered to be 'symbiotic' with its host, the human body in this case, if it works to promote better overall health and wellness, as is the case with probiotic bacteria. On the other hand, a 'pathogenic' intestinal parasite simply seeks to abuse the host causing problems, turmoil, serious disease and even death. Worms, algae, fungi, bacteria and viruses are all types of intestinal parasites found in every living mammal on earth. Intestinal parasites are a relentless species and have the ability to adapt to extreme conditions and even make themselves "invisible" to the human body. This is how intestinal parasites have been able to develop immunity to certain medicines over time, and why it is so important do an intestinal parasite cleanse program periodically, as a norm, and especially if you have done some international traveling.

A pathogenic human parasite can be anything from a worm lodged in the lining of the small intestine, to a cold virus or bacteria related illness. Humans have been able to deter the plight of parasites over the years, most effectively in developed nations, with the use of elaborate sewer systems, medicines, vaccinations and proper food handling guidelines. However, much less success has been seen in less developed nations such as Africa or South America where parasitic related deaths are commonplace. It is estimated that over 1 billion people carry a life-threatening parasite such as malaria or schistosomes and that at least another 1.3 billion people, including Americans, carry hookworms, roundworms or whipworms, which are far less deadly, but still causing chronic infections, under nourishment and listlessness. Some indications that your body may have an imbalance of harmful organisms include, but are not limited to, a veracious appetite, often accompanied by periodic abdominal pain, bloating or cramping, diarrhea, cravings for sugar and/or burnt foods, and a propensity to often get sick with a flu or cold followed by a possible difficulty in 'shaking' the flu or cold. A harmful bacteria/parasite cleanse seeks to destroy and rid the body of harmful parasites which will serve to improve your immune system, thus helping you to better ward off possible future cold and flu viruses and other bacteria related illnesses.

How Parasite Cleansing Works...

Everything our bodies need for curing various ailments, including exponging parasites, are produced by good old mother earth and have been developed for centuries by mankind. The medicinal powers of the all-natural herbs used in parasite cleansing are amazing and so powerful that some are considered very harmful if overused. It's a little known fact that many prescription drugs are nothing more than all-natural substances fabricated in a lab using artificial chemicals. Prescription drugs are not always necessary so don't be fooled into thinking that "all-natural" means less potency. When it comes to parasite cleansing and anti-parasitic properties, what all-natural means is that the product contains no artificial ingredients but should still be used with care.

Below is a list of 5 very powerful antiparasitic herbs commonly seen in parasite cleansing programs:

Black Walnut Hull: Indigenous to North America and coming from the black walnut tree. This herb has proven anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-parasitic and anti-fungal properties which make it a very popular ingredient in parasite cleanse products.

Clover Seed: Imported typically from Indonesia or Madagascar clover seed increases hydrochloric acid in the stomach thus promoting perstalsis which is the rhythmic contraction of the stomach to propel contents through the digestive tract.

Wormwood: Coming typically from Europe and Asia this bitter herb has been used for centuries to destroy and expel lodged intestinal worms and is also considered to be very good for cleansing the liver and gall bladder.

Golden Seal: This perrenial herb is native to the North Eastern U.S. and among its many celebrated medicinal values it is used in parasite cleansing as an anti-microbial and an anti-inflammatory.

Colloidal Silver: Widely used in the early 20th century and then hailed as our best all-around germ fighter known to man. Colloidal silver is a completely non-toxic, all-natural antibiotic that kills infectious bacteria and unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics does not harm any beneficial enzymes in the body, making it particularly successful in fighting flus and colds

Come on - Let's Venture into Life

What is Life?

I am neither a writer nor a poet, so I won't be describing things as beautifully as you expected.

Life is ubiquitous and fundamental concept and hence there is no unequivocal definition. After all variations are the ingredients of life. See even in my explanation I have already started defining life. Hold on to yourself; soon you will see the dispute of the words to find the "REAL" meaning of life. It is just an attempt to play around with the words.

It has taken me sometime to understand LIFE. Many of us think that it is highly complex affair but still we would like to live those affairs. Many of us feel that it is really tough because of the variations it has to offer us. Not everyone appreciates variations and would like to follow a very much structured approach.

Life to me is very simple affair. It is like wet sand which takes the shape as you give it. I have experienced variations in my professional and personal life but yes there have been many a odd times when the level of anxiety and frustration has crossed the borders but still i am going strong.

Life is when two people who were indeed close after sometime that they don't understand each other.

Life is when two people knowingly that they are different, try to unfold the things to take it to next level but then life is when these two individuals realize that they are not meant for each other.

Life is when you want to walk in the rain to hide your tears.

Life is when you have money but you strive for that extra mile to get the real happiness.

Life is when you just feel you are a lone soldier in the battle field and you would like to be in a group but you just see the opponents cruising their way towards you.

Someone said - "Life is Beautiful". If life is beautiful why that is we fail to entail it?? ? If life is beautiful why can't we see the beauty of it? If life is beautiful why that is we still try to bolster ourselves hard to know its meaning.

Someone said - "Life is Challenge". If life is challenge why everyone fails to accept the challenge? Why can't we simply accept the challenge and simply move on.

I did an interesting exercise just now. I logged in to chat rooms after ages to see how the crazy freaks define life. I was expecting weird replies but just tried to reconcile the same. Have a flavor of it as follows:

Frustrated Dude -" Nobody dies virgin, life fucks everybody" Now that’s some definition - Kinky :)

Some Riya Saxena - “Life is all about expecting the unexpected"

Koki - " Mind can give anybody a good livelihood but its heart that will lead you to a good life"

So that was a TEENSY attempt to capture views of different people but not much luck. I'd like to conclude this topic here before it really strikes your mind to start looking positive side of the things. I would like to conclude the discussion by MY OWN view of life.

Sauby - " Life is when you realize its all about YOU, ME aur HUM - It's all about enjoying the bond i.e. Relations"

"Life is when you realize your existence has a meaning and hence instead of wasting time around surrounding pressures, we understand to live it. Simply live it to the chore"

"Life is when you can stop defining it and start living it"
