Natural Home Remedies-Worms (Parasites)

Worms are parasites that live in
the gastrointestinal tract.
The most common types of worms
are roundworms (including ascarids, hookworms, pinworms, and threadworms) and
tapeworms.
Roundworms are contagious
intestinal parasites that are shaped like earthworms but smaller in size.

They can easily be seen with the
naked eye.
Pinworms are white, threadlike
worms about one-third inch long.
Tapeworms vary in length from an
inch up to thirty feet and can survive for up to twenty-five years in the body.

In the United States, pinworm
infestation in young children is by far the most prevalent parasitic worm
problem.
Depending on the type of worm
involved and the severity of the infestation, there may be a variety of
symptoms.
In some cases, there may be no
perceptible symptoms at all. In some cases, worms may be seen in the stool.

Pinworms can cause severe anal
itching (especially at night, as the worms tend to migrate outside the anus to
lay their eggs), insomnia,
and restlessness.
Hookworms can cause itching on
the soles of the feet, and in some cases, bloody sputum, fever, rash, and loss
of appetite.
Thread€ ¦­worms can cause
coughing or bronchitis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and gas, preceded by tiny red
abrasions that sometimes itch.
Small tapeworms can cause weight
and ap€ ¦­petite loss, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Large tapeworms can cause
similar symptoms, but usually without weight loss.
Ascariasis, caused by ascarids,
is characterized by bloating, stomach pain, vomiting, and difficulty breathing.

Trichinosis is a disease caused
by a microscopic roundworm that, if left untreated, can lead to muscle damage
and cardiac or neurologic complications.
Worm infestations can range from mild
to severe, even life threatening, particularly in children.

They result in poor absorption of essential
nutrients, and in some cases, loss of blood from the gastrointestinal tract.

They can therefore lead to such
deficiency-related disorders as anemia and growth problems.
Malabsorption resulting from parasitic
infection makes one susceptible to many diseases because it results in
diminished immune function.
Worms can be contracted through a variety of
mechanisms, including improper disposal of human or animal waste, walking
barefoot on contaminated soil, and ingestion of eggs or larvae from uncooked or
partially cooked meat.
In some cases, eggs may become airborne and be
inhaled.
Parasites are more common than
most people suppose, and they can be behind many illnesses, including colon
disorders.
They are more common in children
than in adults.
They are also common in people
with AIDS, chronic fatigue
syndrome, candidiasis, and many other disorders.
Unfortunately, physicians often
do not check for worm infestation.
The following are the routes through
which different types of worms can enter the body:-
Ascarids: Through the soil; or in contaminated raw or
undercooked food.
Hookworms and thread worms: Through the feet or drinking
water.
Pinworms: Eggs can be transferred by touch from an infected
individual that has eggs on the fingers from scratching the affected area.

Tapeworms: In raw or undercooked beef, fish, or pork, or
through inadvertently swallowing infested fleas or lice that live on pets.

tapeworm. Cranberries, papaya and fresh pineapple contain enzymes that are anti-parasitic.
Grapefruit seed extract is very effective for destroying parasites. It

Diet in Worms / Parasites

Eat a high-fiber diet
consisting primarily of raw vegetables and whole grains.
Eat pumpkin seeds, sesame
seeds, and figs (or drink fig juice) on an empty stomach three times per day.
Drink only filtered or bottled
steam-distilled water.
Drink plenty of papaya juice.
For pinworms, eat bitter melon,
a cucumber-shaped vegetable found in Asian markets. This is effective against
pinworms and is a good immune system strengthener. Eat one or two melons a day
for seven to ten days. Do this again after two months to ensure that the
infestation has not returned.
