Not a pleasant subject, but an important fact to be aware of is that parasites of many types are abundant in our environment. They have no problem taking over our bodies to reproduce and form new colonies. They are in the soil and grass we walk on, in our food, in our pets and their environments, everywhere. Our exposure to them is constant. Undercooked meats and fish, poorly washed produce, improper hand washing and many other factors can cause ingestion or absorption.
Once parasites enter our system they usually seek refuge in our intestines, but if untreated their eggs and larvae have the ability to circulate through our blood stream and take refuge in other parts of our bodies including our livers, hearts and brains. Yes, in our vital organs. In extreme cases this can result in serious circulatory problems, distortion of thoughts and eventual dimentia, insanity and death.
Some of the symptoms of intestinal parasites mimic those of vitamin B and Omega 3 deficiency, they are constant runny nose, anal itching, cracking at the corner of the mouth, dry eyes, dry skin, constipation, stomach bloating, anemia, asthma, diarrhea, digestive disorders, fatigue, low immune system, nervousness and skin rash. The most obvious sympton is their presence in our feces.
There are numerous clinical and holistic remedies to eradicate parasites once detected. Self maintenance routines are helpful too. With cases of serious infestation clinical intervention might be necessary and should be considered.
1) Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 seconds after handling pets or working in the soil.
2) Scrub feet well after working barefoot in gardening soil, or playing in lawns where animals may have visited.
3) Wash raw vegetables and fruit well before cutting or consuming.
4) Before eating meat be sure it has reached proper internal temperature.
5) If you are a sushi eater be sure you are indulging at a credible location.
6) Consider a defensive homeopathic therapy every three months (or so) of Black Walnut extract. Black walnut rind is high in tanins and creates an undesirable environment in our body that acts as a vermifuge to some parasites. Black Walnut extract can be found in health food stores everywhere, it is also available encapsulated. I prefer use of the extract, 3-5 drops sublingually, in four fifteen minute intervals, 3 times a day, for approximately 7-10 days.
7) Not my first choice, but another home remedy I have stumbled across is peeled raw onions macerated in whiskey or bourbon. I have often wondered what those old East Indian farmers are doing at the store's check out lines with their jugs of Kessler's and sacks of onions.
Curiosity got the best of me so I got into some of my holistic reference material and concluded that they are making a tincture to eradicate parasites, naturally working in agriculture they are exposed to many. Apparently the onions contain sulfur and is undesirable to parasites, the whiskey acts as a catalyst that carries the sulfur through the digestive system more rapidly, wiping out the parasite colonies along the way.
On another note alliums (onions, garlic, leeks, etc.) are believed to be beneficial to connective tissues and of course a shot of whiskey from macerated onions just might soothe a hard working body at the end of a long day.
