Parasites
85-95% of adults have parasites in them but don't know it. You may be one of the unlucky ones. The subject of this email, and the emails to follow in the next few days, is terrifying, but the information may help you improve your health...
Parasites are a serious public health threat because so few people are talking about them and even fewer people are listening when they are being discussed.
Parasites are insidious because of the common misconception among medical people and the general public that parasites are generally a Third World problem where malnutrition and poor hygienic practices exist. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Tests often do not show the presence of parasites because the testing procedures are by and large outdated and inadequate.
An article in June 27, 1978, in the Miami Herald states that a nationwide survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control in 1976 revealed that one in every six people selected at random had one or more parasites.
Louis Parrish, M.D. a New York City physician who specializes in parasites, wrote in 1991, "based upon my experience, I estimate in the New York metropolitan area that 25 % percent of the population is infected . . . . . . . . Projections for the year 2025 suggest that more than half of the 8.3 billion people on Earth will then be infected with parasitic diseases."
"We have a tremendous parasite problem right here in the United States - it’s just not being identified." - Peter Weina, Ph.D., Chief of Pathobiology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, 1991.
"I strongly believe that every patient with disorders of immune function, including multiple allergies (especially food allergy), and patients with unexplained fatigue or with chronic bowel symptoms should be evaluated for the presence of intestinal parasites." - Leo Galland, M.D. Townsend Letter for Doctors, 1988.
"Make no mistake about it, worms are the most toxic agents in the human body. They are one of the primary underlying causes of disease and are the most basic cause of a compromised immune system." - Hazel Parcells, D.C., N.D., Ph.D., 1974.
Who Gets Parasites?
Everyone can potentially become a host to parasites.
Let's look at some of the possible reasons for the rising number of parasitic infections.
Rise in international travel.
Contamination of municipal and rural water supplies.
Increasing use of day-care centers.
Influx of refugee and immigrant populations from endemic areas.
Return of armed forces from overseas.
Continued popularity of household pets.
Increasing popularity of exotic regional foods.
Use of antibiotics and immunosuppressive drugs.
The sexual revolution.
There are 4 pathways through which we can get infected:
Via food or water which are sources of the roundworm, amoebae, giardia.
Via a vector - the mosquito is a carrier of dog heartworm, filaria, malaria; the flea is a carrier of dog tapeworm; the common housefly transmits amebic cysts; the sand fly carries leishmaniasis.
Via sexual contact where partners can transmit trichomonas, giardia, amoebae.
Through the nose and skin where pinworm eggs and Toxoplasma gondii can be inhaled from contaminated dust, hookworms, schistosomes, and strongyloides can penetrate exposed skin and bare feet.
Another parasitic pathway is the airplane. Extensive international travel has exposed people to a whole range of exotic diseases never before encountered in their homeland.
Why Don't Doctors Often Diagnose Parasites?
Many parasite-based problems can mimic diseases which are more familiar to most doctors. Roundworm infection has been mis-diagnosed as peptic ulcer. Amoebic colitis is often mis-labeled as ulcerative colitis. Chronic fatigue syndrome and yeast infections may be a chronic case of giardiasis. Diabetes and hypoglycemia may be caused by tapeworm infection.
Parasitology courses (study of human parasites) are usually offered by a tropical disease department which explains why the medical community generally perceives parasites as primarily a foreign concern. In addition, it is difficult to accurately diagnose the problem because the parasite's own reproductive cycle in which eggs or cysts are passed at irregular intervals makes diagnoses tricky.
What Are Some of The Symptoms of Parasite Infestation?
Feel tired most of the time (Chronic Fatigue)?
Have digestive problems? (gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea which come and go but never really clear up)
Have gastrointestinal symptoms and bulky stools with excess fat in feces?
Suffer with food sensitivities and environmental intolerance?
Developed allergic-like reactions and can't understand why?
Have joint and muscle pains and inflammation often assumed to be arthritis?
Suffer with anemia or iron deficiency (pernicious anemia)?
Have hives, rashes, weeping eczema, cutaneous ulcers, swelling, sores, papular lesions, itchy dermatitis?
Suffer with restlessness and anxiety?
Experience multiple awakenings during the night?
Grind your teeth?
Have an excessive amount of bacterial or viral infections?
Depressed?
Difficulty gaining or losing weight no matter what you do?
Did a candida program which either didn't help at all or helped somewhat but you still can't stay away from bread, alcohol, fruit, or fruit juices?
Just can't figure out why you don't feel really great and neither can your doctor?
The symptoms above are only possible symptoms. Please keep in mind that not every person who has a few of these symptoms should automatically assume that they are infected; however, if you suspect infection or have been unsuccessfully treated for a problem, it is worth doing some specific parasite cleansing.
Let's look deeper into what parasite are and what they do.
HOW COMMON ARE PARASITES?
Most people are not aware of the danger to their health posed by parasites; nevertheless, if one looks in the right places, one can find a lot of literature on the subject of parasites and the harmful effects they can produce.
Well over 80% of patients we check have some type of parasite or bacteria and the slight inflammation of the abdomen, and unrelated pains and aches which indicate the presence of parasites.
For instance, in a pamphlet put out by a medical manufacturer in America, we read: Colon therapy has an anthelmintic action (this means parasites are removed). We find that over 90% of the people we examine in our clinics have some form of parasites. The most common of all are tapeworms. Our skilled technicians report seeing green, brown, grey, yellow and white ones, and various combinations. Patients report seeing pieces of tapeworm in the toilet bowl, varying from a few inches to a few feet. (The longest one reported was 57 inches.) Various other parasites are seen, including hook worms pin worms, whip worms and many other exotic forms. Tapeworms are usually beef, pork or fish variety.
Many Vegetarians also have various parasites. Their eggs may be eaten with vegetables or fruit. Thread worms and hook worms may pass through the unbroken skin - they are sometimes picked up when one walks through the grass.
In New Zealand, a large full page advertisement for “Combantrin” (a commercial worm preparation), shows a small girl handing a pencil to a classmate. The caption reads:
The simple act of passing a pencil, sharing a book, using the same doorknob, or even sharing a house with untreated adults is all that is required for parasites to spread - No matter how clean your child may be, and no matter how careful you are. The symptoms caused by parasites may include: Loss of appetite, anal and vulval itching and scratching, disturbed sleep, occasional bed-wetting in younger children. These may seem like common occurrences in childhood, but unfortunately this is because the parasite problem is a common one.
We once told one of our patients that we thought her daily migraines were caused by parasites in her intestines. She was not surprised by this, and she said she had just returned from Europe where she had taken her children to a doctor. The children had been restless and had indigestion. The doctor told her that he felt the children had pin-worms, and it was the parasites which were causing the symptoms. She told the doctor that she thought it was impossible for her children to have parasites, as she insisted on the highest standard of hygiene. She had not seen any sign of worms in her children's clothes or in their beds. But, the doctor insisted, and told her that over 90% of people in that part of Europe had parasites of one kind or another - so she should not feel ashamed or surprised that her children also had parasites.
Our diagnosis was correct, and when she took the herbs, her migraines and other aches soon disappeared. Yet, this patient had been to a number of doctors, and none of them had been able to do anything to relieve her headaches.
In an interview recorded in a health publication, Dr. William Kelley, famous cancer specialist says:
I find parasites in 92% of people. Everybody - rich and poor - the whole population have parasites. It is not restricted to lower classes at all. Pets are great carriers of parasites. Also, vegetables may carry parasitic organisms.
Parasites mimic a lot of disease. Like heart trouble. I found this once in a nurse who had suffered with all kinds of heart trouble and went to doctors for years, whenever she had these heart spells. I said to her You should have gone to the vet. She asked why? I said, Because you have heart worms.
She took her herbs and never had any more trouble.
Most stomach aches and colitis could have a parasite involvement. Liver damage and liver trouble can often be caused by worms. Sometimes a colony of worms will crawl up in the gall bladder and give you trouble. This can be the trouble with overweight people. The worms are being well fed. The body is only getting the water and the calories but a fraction of the nutrients.
In a Nutritional Almanac printed by McGraw-Hill and reproduced in part below, we read "worms irritate the intestinal lining and therefore cause poor absorption of nutrients." Signs of worms may include diarrhea, hunger pains, appetite loss, weight loss and anemia.
In The Miami Herald dateline June 25, 1978 (just 23 years ago!) an article appeared titled Worms Outrank Cancer as Man's Deadliest Enemy. It reads:
One of every four people in the world is infected with roundworms, which cause fever, cough and intestinal problems. A quarter of the worlds people have hookworms, which can cause anemia and abdominal pain. Another third of a billion people suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by whipworms.

Not much research is being done on these diseases (i.e. parasite related diseases). The U.S. spends more than $US800 million a year on cancer research. All the nations in the world combined spend less than one twentieth that amount studying parasitic diseases.
Of the amount of money spent on Cancer research, one thing is agreed upon - that toxins and poisons in the body cause chronic irritation of tissues which results in cancer. There is also plenty of other evidence that cancer of internal structures such as organs or other tissues is caused by chronic irritation of the cells by toxins in the body.
Almost all the books written by (so called) “quacks” claim that cancer can be cured by cleansing the body and ridding it of parasites and toxins. In other words, once the tissues stop being irritated by excessive quantities of toxins in the blood, the cancer not only stops proliferating, but may actually disappear altogether if the treatment is started in time. (Note that only the medical profession attempts to treat cancer by introducing more toxic drugs to the body.)
AMOEBA, WORMS AND OTHER INTESTINAL PARASITES
Worms and Parasites
There are several types of parasitic worms which can live in human intestines, the most common being pinworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms.
Worms irritate the intestinal lining and therefore, cause poor absorption of nutrients. Signs of worms often include diarrhea, hunger pains, appetite loss, weight loss, and anemia. Diagnosis can be made by examining the stools, or occasionally by inducing the vomiting of worms. The extent of intestinal damage is then determined by the type of worm, the size of the worm, and the number of worms present.
Pin worms are the most common parasitic worm in the United States. The
chief symptom of this small, threadlike worm is rectal itching, especially at night. Pinworms are transmitted when the eggs, which lodge under the fingernails when a person scratches, contaminate food. Personal hygiene is most important for the control of pinworms.
Tapeworms can be contracted from eating insufficiently cooked meats, especially beef, pork and fish. The most common tapeworm in the United States is the beef tapeworm, which can grow to a length of 15 to 20 feet in the intestines.
Hookworms are often found in the soil or sand in moderate climates. They
can enter the body by boring holes in the skin of bare fee, or can enter the mouth if food contaminated by dirty hands is eaten.
Roundworms are most common in children. These worms can leave the intestines and settle in different areas of the body, causing diseases such as pneumonia, jaundice or seizures.
When a person is afflicted with worms, the body's supply of all nutrients is depleted to the point that supplementation of all nutrients is necessary to restore normal health. Nutrients of special importance are Vitamin A, the B complex, especially Thiamin, Riboflavin, B6, B12, and Pantothenic Acid; Vitamins C, D and K and Calcium, Iron and protein.
Dietary Deficiency
Animals kept on diets deficient in protein or vitamins A, B1, B2, Biotin, Folic Acid or other nutrients have been infested with many types of parasites, including trichinae, obtained from undercooked pork; and trichomonas, which can grow in the lungs or intestines as readily as in around the vagina. When these same parasites have been repeatedly implanted in healthy animals however, infestations have not occurred as long as the diet has been adequate.
If a deficient diet is not improved and the parasites are killed by medication, herbals or electro-medical means, re-infestation quickly occurs, but they gradually die out when the diet is made highly nutritious. Both parasites and worms infest animals deficient in Vitamin A, whereas well-fed controls remain free of infestation. The entire intestines may also be filled with worms when animals are allowed to eat too little of an excellent diet to obtain the nutrients they need, and if the worms are destroyed by medication, the animals died of infections in the intestines.
Although intestinal parasites are surprisingly common, there are no known studies showing the effect of dietary improvement on humans infested with them. It is known that a high intake of refined foods, particularly sweets, which supply little or no nutrient yet satisfy the appetite, cause individuals to become susceptible to pinworms which thrive on sugar.
Research indicates that in any type of parasitic infestation however, the diet should be unusually adequate and refined foods strictly avoided. Yogurt or acidophilus milk, or culture, appears to be specially helpful in cases of amebic dysentery and perhaps all intestinal infestations, and every effort should be made to maintain normal stomach acid which destroys many parasites obtained from food.
Other researchers have shown that parasites are particularly susceptible to a variety of herbs which are lethal only to these organisms. To date, there is no known “cure-all” herb which kills all stages of a parasites larvae and eggs. As described, poisons and toxins in the body irritate the tissues, setting the stage for cancer. These same toxins also seem to allow the parasites to breed outside of their normal, natural, life cycle which usually involves leaving the host's body. It seems that with the increase in environmental pollution, the parasites, in the presence of pollutants, can complete their life cycle within the host's body.
Any anti-parasitic treatment must effectively kill all stages of parasite development, and must continue on beyond the normal incubation period of the eggs. Any short term treatment, (such as commercial preparations are) - cannot be effective. Commercial treatments usually focus on intestinal parasites, and adult worms only. As has been described above, parasites can crawl into the liver, pancreas, brain, lungs, heart, eyeballs - in fact any
part of the body. Therefore, a total systemic anti-parasitic system of treatment is imperative. Such a treatment may involve electro-medical devices which destroy the parasite electrically, and pure herbal supplements known to kill all stages of parasite development.
CONCLUSION
There are two trains of thought on the matter and cause of cancers, leukemia, fibroids, HIV AIDS, and other diseases which modern medicine has yet to find a cure.
One train of thought is that modern medicine has the means to cure disease by introducing toxic and potent drugs which are foreign to the physiology of any living body - human or animal. Or, surgically remove the diseased and suffering and dying organ.
The other train of thought is to harness the healing power of the body by removing the source of irritation, and providing nutrients for the body to build healthy new cells. By stimulating it with naturally occurring substances, such as are found in pollutant free, steroid free, hormone free, organically grown foods and herbs,(and therapeutic grade essential oils -my note) and electricity - healing is naturally accomplished.

 | ParaFree is the optimum place to start! Per the Essential Oil Desk Reference "Take 3-6 ParaFree gelcaps, 2 times daily for one week. Rest for one week to allow the parasite eggs to hatch and become active. Resume dosage for aminimum of 3 weeks and then rest for 3 weeks. Repeat this cycle three times." And as always, listen to what your body is telling you!
The EODR also states that Pure essential oils have some of the strongest antiparasitic properties known. Some of these oils include thyme, closve, anise, nutmeg, fennel, vetiver, Idaho tansy, cumin, Melaleuca alternifolia, ledum, melissa, begamot, etc. Of course, we have our incredible blend of DiGize (formerly DiTone) that has been found to rid animals of parasites! These are just a few of the most common oils that can be used. Remember that Essential Oils help to create a healthy, alkaline environment within your body, and that is an environment parasites hate!
And of course, doing a colon and intestinal cleanse to keep flushing these pests out, is also an important factor!! For more information, consult your Essential Oil Desk Reference, and if you don't have one, contact your sponsor to get more information! Knowledge is power, have power over your health. Spring Cleaning has a whole new meaning now, doesn't it?? Many Blessings and contact me should you have any questions!
