How To Eliminate Parasites

There are many ways to eliminate parasites, which include harsh conventional medicine, as well as natural remedies that can safely be taken at home without any side effects. The natural remedies are generally better because they are gentler on the body. They also require that dietary changes be made, which when kept up with, can help to prevent the parasites from coming back in the future.

Parasites are living creatures that feed off of another living being. They are often present in food, water and in the air, and can enter the human body via the mouth, skin and inhalation. They can feed and can reside in just about any area of the body.

There are many forms of parasites, such as worms, bacteria, fungus and viruses. Although they are often difficult to detect, they are not that difficult to eliminate when the right strategies are applied. Basically all types of parasites can be eliminated by using the following cleansing methods.

Clean Internal Environment

One of the most effective ways to eliminate parasites is to clean the internal body. This can be done simply by avoiding the foods that are foreign to the body. These are processed foods that clog up and slow down the digestive system. A slow digestive system in turn provides the perfect environment wherein the parasites can happily dwell and multiply.

The foods that fall into this category are all processed foods, hydrogenated oils, trans-fats, baked goods and certain animal products as well.

The next step to cleaning the internal environment is to consume plenty of foods that will help to eliminate the buildup from the digestive tract and keep it clean. When the tract is clean the parasites will have nothing to feed on and will be forced to leave the body.

Avoid Fruits and Starchy Vegetables

Another type of food to avoid is sweet fruits, such as apples and bananas. The reason they should be avoided is because they are high in sugar, which unfortunately, the parasites love to feed on.

Starchy vegetables, such as potatoes and beans are also not recommended.

Nutritional Supplements

Taking nutritional supplements is a good way to help nourish the body during the cleansing process. There are many different supplements that you can take, and they are available at health food stores or at the pharmacy.

Wormwood, black walnut, and cloves are commonly taken as they are very potent and effective at killing off and eliminating the parasites at all stages.

Anti-Parasitic Foods

Another key to eliminating parasites is to consume plenty of anti-parasitic foods on a daily basis. These are foods that will either kill the parasites, the eggs, or simply make them weak or uncomfortable and eventually force them to leave. Basically anything that is bitter, hot or spicy will do the trick.

Garlic, hot peppers, bitter herbs and hot spices, such as ginger, cayenne, cinnamon and cloves are excellent foods to add to the diet on a regular basis. As good as they are, however, the intake should be kept in moderation especially when it comes to garlic and hot peppers as they can irritate the digestive tract. Therefore, it is best to start off with a small amount and gradually increase the amount if the body is able to tolerate it.

Other foods that help to eliminate parasites are cucumbers, tomatoes, leafy greens, broccoli and pumpkin seeds.

Healthy Fats

Healthy fats can also help to eliminate parasites. They can help to create a slippery surface that makes it difficult for the parasites to hold onto and therefore, are easier to eliminate. Coconut oil and Castor oil are two of these oils that have been shown to be effective. Coconut oil also contains many other anti-parasitical substances that help in eliminating parasites.

Plenty of Fluids

Another key to eliminating parasites is to consume plenty of fluids. These can be in the form of hot teas, fresh vegetable juices or water.

Water basically has the same function on the inside of the body as it does on the outside. When applied externally it washes away the filth and grime and when taken internally it circulates the body and also washes away anything that doesn’t belong. Therefore, it is important to consume even more fluids when parasites are present as the body has more toxins to get rid of.

Fasting

Fasting is another effective way to eliminate parasites. There are many different types of fasts, such as a juice fast, a lemonade fast or a water fast. A water fast is not recommended if one has never fasted before because it does not supply the body with any nutrients and is very harsh on the body. Therefore, a juice fast or a lemonade fast is a good place to start.

The longer the fast is carried out for the more effective it will be. At the same time, however, it is very important that each individual only fasts as long as he or she is capable of. The more toxins that are in the body, the harder the fast is and the shorter the duration will be. One can start with a one-day fast and then work his or her way up to longer fasts as the body cleanses itself.

Coping With Parasites

Coping with parasites can be difficult, as they can cause extreme fatigue, mental unclarity, digestive problems, and aches and pains throughout the body. On top of that, there are the die-off symptoms of parasites that one has to deal with as soon as the parasite treatment begins. These symptoms can vary from person to person depending on what type of parasite and the overall health of the individual. Although the die-off symptoms can be difficult to deal with, they should be welcomed, as they are a sign that the body is healing.

Depending on the type and how long the parasites have been present in the body, it can take several weeks to several months until all the parasites are gone. It can take even longer to heal the damage that they have caused in the body, but a full recovery can usually be expected.

Very useful information. Even though I don't practice doing a parasite cleanse as much as I believe I should, this is the perfect information for accomplishing such!
