I heard that anybody that has been around animals or had them as pets...has parasites.

Still early days in my self-experimentation, but I've just started a 2-3 week trial of colloidal silver, as prescribed by my osteopath. I'm not taking it as an anti-parasitic, although I'm sure (if it works) it will take care of any nasties I have living inside. I have ankylosing spondylitis, and antibiotics have been known to help in some cases.

Word of warning: if you Google it, you'll find all manner of freaky pictures of people with blue skin and testimonials that say it made them grow a third arm (not really). If you're interested, speak with a naturopath or someone who's actually works with it.

Effects have been neutral in week one, and I haven't turned into a Smurf yet, so here's hoping.

Flavio, doctors in tropical countries such as India or Brazil know a lot more about parasites than those in Europe or the USA because there are a lot more parasitosis in poorer countries. After travelling to a rural part of Brazil I once had parasite infection but my New York doctor did not know much about it. This being said if I had a serious suspicion that I have contracted a parasite infection I would try a regular, proven specific medicine, but before that I would look for a specialist since different parasites may require different drugs. In any case the cleansing is often quite fast!

I am doing it right now. I am in my second week of a colon cleanse and then I start the parasite killing on Sunday, with 3 different kinds of products. I can check back with you and tell you what I learn from it but so far there has been no real change since it's only cleansing that I am doing. I am supposed to give up white bread, refined sugar and artificial sweeteners. I have for the most part but I have cheated here and there but not much. I have been told that you get parasites from meat that hasn't been cooked thoroughly, soil and pets and animals. The parasite can live under a fingernail for quite some time and then you can get it in your food and eat it.

It is a false sense of safety to assume that parasites are more common in poor countries. Parasites are everywhere no matter where you live. Parasites even infect other parasites. If you own a pet, if you eat at all-not just meats, you are probably infected with parasites. In fact, parasites have killed more people than all the wars humans have fought. We come in contact with parasites in foods, soil, pets etc According to the Center for Disease Control, 800 million to over 1 billion people are infected with one form of parasites or another at any given time. Parasite infections are responsible for some nagging medical problems that are often misdiagnosed because a lot of doctors have no experience with treating parasite infection. This is why we ALL, AND our pets need periodic intestinal parasite cleanse But there are natural intestinal parasite cleanse

Wouldn't most parasites naturally pass through your system on their own in some number of weeks? Seems like simply cutting back on carbs, which we all do anyway, would make a big difference toward starving them out.

Additionally, I thought the main symptom was recurring diarrhea.

Hi, Pumpkin plant seeds and vegetables blended with soymilk can battle parasite attack. The pumpkin plant seeds may be consumed alone. Or you may try raw beans. Other meals said to help consist of beets, green beans, pomegranates, and blueberry. A mix of pawpaw plant seeds with sweetie has been discovered to be efficient. Consume a lot of water to help bowel movements. Foods that are complete of fiber can also help.Colon cleanse diet also helps to get rid from the problem of intestinal parasites. Thanks

Most dogs have worms, especially if they are not regularity de-wormed by a vet. If you ever see a dog dragging its butt on grass, you have seen a dog with ring worms (which make the dog's but REALLY itchy).

If a dog with worms licks your hand or face (any bare skin), it passes worms to you. A few licks may not pass you many worms, but several licks will give yo worms.
