Parasites are not bacteria, fungi, yeast or viruses. They are a type of germ that can cause serious illnesses and sometimes life-threatening diseases. Getting rid of a parasite infection can be difficult, especially if the infestation has spread throughout your body. When you are infected with parasites, the best parasite detox cleanse will depend on where the parasites are located.
Most commercial parasite detox cleanses only focus on parasites in the digestive system, a common location for infections. But parasites can also live in your bloodstream, muscles, tissues and many other body organs, including the brain.
Common parasites
Parasites get into our bodies through food. You can eat meat that is contaminated with parasites. Hunters get sick with parasites when the meat from their hunts isn’t cooked correctly. Lots of hunters like to cook their hunt like they do steaks. We eat steaks medium rare and rare. Wild animals aren’t treated with parasites, so you must cook the meat completely.
The most common parasites are worms. You can get worms (usually the eggs of worms) when you eat food that isn’t completely cooked. The worm eggs survive the stomach acids. They hatch and worms come out and attach to our intestines right away. Then they start eating. The more we eat the more worms eat. Worms need vitamins like we do. So, worms will suck vitamins out of us. Many doctors check for vitamin deficiencies, but very few check for the cause of the deficiency, like parasites.
Other types of parasites don’t attach to your intestines. They dig through the intestines and enter other body parts, like your muscles. Examples include pork parasites from uncooked pork (this is why we don’t eat pork medium rare or rare) and fish parasites from raw fish. Fish parasites travel in the lymphatic system. They can go anywhere.
You can also find parasites in unwashed fruits and vegetables.
Parasites and inflammation
Parasites cause inflammation, which is your immune system’s response to harmful organisms. The inflammation is from the mucus that parasites create when they travel through your body. Treating your immune system doesn’t fix the problem, you need to eliminate the parasites.
Parasites can also be the underlying reason for other types of health problems like skin rashes, fatigue, food allergies, digestive problems, anemia, neurological problems, muscle pain and autoimmune diseases.
When diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, you are told that your immune system is attacking healthy body parts. There are many theories about the cause of autoimmune diseases, but medical professionals still don’t know why it happens.
Parasites can cause autoimmune diseases when the infestation becomes too large or numerous for your body to fight off. Once you get rid of the parasites, the infection will go away, your immune system will go back to sleep, and you won’t have an autoimmune disorder.
Sometimes, people blame their diets for their autoimmune diseases. If you eat something, you feel worse. When you don’t eat it, you feel okay. So, you stop eating certain foods. If you eliminate too many foods, you starve your body. When you starve your body, you starve your immune system. You need your immune system in good condition to fight the parasites.
Parasites and your immune system
Your body has two types of immune responses, innate and adaptive.
Your innate Immune System
The innate immune system is designed to remove cell damage and grow new cells. Parasites will move around in your body and leave a trail of damaged cells. They also produce mucus, like an earthworm moving through dirt.
The mucus is a foreign protein recognized by the innate immune system. The innate immune system attacks the mucus the same way as a toxin. It cleans up the mucus and follows the mucus trail to the parasite, but it doesn’t see the parasite.
The parasite continues to release mucus and the white blood cells clean up the mucus.
This is why parasites cause allergies to the air and food. The innate immune system is constantly cleaning up mucus, which leads to the immune system attacking particles from the air and food.
When your innate immune system is activated, it detects damaged cells and gets rid of them. When the damaged cells are removed, scar tissue grows in their place. Doctors discover this when they perform surgery and remove organs. They find scar tissue in the intestines, ovaries, uterus, or prostate. This means you’ve had an undiagnosed parasite infection that’s been there for years, causing damage.
Your adaptive immune system
Your adaptive immune system’s job is to destroy invading germs, bacteria and other organisms that harm the body. When your adaptive immune system is activated, it will find and kill parasites very efficiently. It’s not fast. It can take weeks for this immune system to be activated. But once it’s activated and learns to fight this germ, you have lifetime immunity.
The mucus prevents the innate immune system from being activated. If the innate immune system is not active, the adaptive immune system stays asleep.
Types of Parasite Cleanses
There is a difference between a detox and a cleanse. A cleanse typically refers to a product that focuses on the digestive system, while a detox goes further and deeper into tissues, cells, and organs.
Most people try to get rid of parasites using off-the-shelf (not specially made or customized) cleanses. These cleanses typically involve taking a handful of pills daily until you finish the bottle. If the parasite isn’t gone, you buy another bottle. If you can’t eliminate the parasites that way, you purchase a more expensive cleanse. When the cleanse doesn’t work, you continue shopping around, buying and trying other products.
Some of these cleanses will eliminate the worms in the intestines, but not the parasites that get into the muscles and other organs. That’s because they 1) only work if they come in contact with the parasite and 2) the cleanse stays inside the intestinal tract.
If your parasite infection has moved outside of your intestines, you will need a detox that addresses your digestive system and other parts of the body like the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system.
Parasites and Chinese medicinal herbs
Chinese medicinal herbs have been used for thousands of years to treat various health conditions, including parasite infections. They are extremely potent and have unique properties. These herbs can also eliminate infections inside and outside of the digestive system. They penetrate deep into the body, activating the innate and adaptive immune systems.
