Parasites: Equal Opportunity Invaders

The word parasite brings to mind certain pictures that may be disturbing and the look on the faces of many when told they have a parasite is not pretty. The fact is that 85% of the population in America has a parasite. These invaders live in weak and deadened tissue. Unless you do something to clear them from the body, they are happy to stay and make what is weak, weaker. You might find symptoms that start off one way that will then change or worsen. 

It’s a good idea to cleanse the body with the change of seasons. Parasitic cleansing shouldn’t be overlooked as the cause of unwanted symptoms. Some think their symptoms are just how their body functions. We have come to be identified by our symptoms. We think everyone has them and they are just part of life (check out many commercials). But, we are not our symptoms. Symptoms are the body's way of telling us that something is wrong. Acknowledge them and then seek cleansing or nourishing to eliminate the symptoms so the body can go back to self-healing. 

The word parasite comes from the Greek meaning, one who eats off the table of another. This is what a parasite does, they eat the food we eat and take the nutritional value with them. We can still be hungry minutes after we have eaten a full meal. 

What are ways people can become infected by parasites? 

• insect bites • animal feces 

• walking barefoot 

• handling raw meat and fish 

• eating pork or shellfish 

• handling soiled litter pans (cats) 

• eating contaminated raw fruits and vegetables 

• eating meals prepared by infected food handlers 

• drinking contaminated water 

• having contact with infected persons (including sexual contact, kissing, and shaking hands) 

• inhaling contaminated dust (parasitic eggs or cysts) 

Looking at this list it is easy to see how so many people can become infected and why cleansing is essential to a healthy way of life.

-This is not all inclusive, but these are some common symptoms. A parasite goes into weak areas in your body Symptoms can effect any area, organ or gland.  

What can we do to help prevent parasitic infections? 

• Wash hands before eating and after using the restroom 

• Wear gloves when gardening or working with soil or sand because soil can be contaminated with eggs or cysts of parasites 

• Pregnant women should avoid handling cat litter. 

• Do not allow children to be licked or kissed by pets that are not wormed regularly. 

• Wash fresh vegetables carefully. 

• Avoid eating pork, shellfish (bottom feeders) 

• Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and boots when walking in the woods. 

 Eating a well-balanced diet with lots of fiber, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds is essential. Fiber helps eliminate worms from the intestines; good nutrition improves immune function and protects the body against parasitic invasion.

 It is important to limit dairy foods, sugar, and bad fat. Parasites thrive on these foods. Taking supplements that improve the immune system and improve nutrition can help to keep parasites away. 

Parasites are easily shared with others. They can be passed through intimate contact or bodily fluids. If you suspect you have a parasite imbalance you should seek help. There are thousands of different kinds of parasites and the symptoms are often diagnosed as many other issues and diseases! The medical community can test for a small amount of parasites and doing a fecal test does not guarantee they can be found in every specimen, so they often go undetected. Many have gone through numerous tests and have issues they have been suffering with for many, many years, still not getting to the root cause. 

There are a few choices for cleansing parasites that I use for my clients. Know that treating a parasite with herbal supplements takes an average of 90 days due to cycling. You need to be patient as you work on the colony of invaders as well as their eggs. Keep away from sugars which parasites love and have a good bowel cleaning regimen to rid your body of this imbalance. If you think you have a parasite imbalance, contact me for more information on supplement choices.

How do I evaluate clients?

 Muscle Response Testing 

 

Muscle Response Testing (MRT) is the modality I use to evaluate clients and see what the body needs to get back into homeostasis (balance). This is where the body can do what it was made to do, heal itself. This is a non-invasive way to seek out the body’s imbalances and weaknesses that are causing unwanted symptoms. The body is always striving to get into balance.  This is how it was made. MRT will evaluate and guide, choosing what the body needs to get back into that desired state of balance.     

                                                             

 The brain sends electrical signals to the body and its’ organs and glands to do the jobs they were made to do.  If something gets in the way and blocks those messages from the brain to the body, it stops the body from healing, cleaning and nourishing itself. When this happens symptoms will appear. These symptoms are a signal to you that there is a need that is not being met.   

 

MRT utilizes this electrical circuit to aid in the discovery of what the body needs.  Everyone is different and their needs are unique.  MRT shows exactly what is needed and exactly what herbs, supplements or dietary changes will help to get back to balance, where the body can take over.                                       

 

What might get in the way?  Triggers for imbalances and blockages from healing can be many different things.  It may be a vitamin deficiency, mineral deficiency, overload of toxins, Candida imbalance, a parasite or a mechanical issue.  Symptoms vary from person to person depending on what area is weak in the body.  Symptoms can be digestive, circulatory, respiratory, glandular, blood sugar issues, and allergies; the list goes on! 

 

One way to make people feel good again is to treat the symptoms.  There are herbs for symptoms which will help to make your discomfort disappear and not leave you with side effects or other problems that medicines can. This, however, will not get to the root cause and sooner or later, your symptoms will return, either in the same form or in another.  Symptoms may disappear when you strengthen the area affected, but move to some other area in the body causing another type of symptom. 

 

Getting to the root and treating it will lead to a body in balance.  Remaining that way takes some work and maintenance.  I find that once you are feeling good and achieve this balance and stay tuned to your body, you recognize when you need to tweak or change in your routine to get back on track.   

 

Herbs are food and aid the body in nourishing, cleansing and feeding the different body systems.  Just as your car and home need maintenance to stay in working order, so does the body!  I have heard that there are people who do not take care of their body, eating a diet high in fat, simple carbs and sugar and they seem to be just fine!  Looking at the outside of the body is not the same as looking at the inside.  There are things going on inside of you before you go to the doctor with symptoms that are out of control.  These didn’t just happen overnight. A body takes time to build up toxicity and disease!  Take the time to look at your diet and lifestyle and make changes and prevent future ailments and diagnoses.
