Parasite Colon Cleanse

As soon as we begin to experience some form of intestinal parasites symptoms, it is probably a good time to undergo a parasite colon cleansing program.

Parasites are everywhere. They can be found in the soil of our gardens, food that we eat daily such as vegetables, fruits and meat.

Water which we drink can also be a source of parasitic contamination. The most common type of parasites which reside in the human colon is worms.

Very often, parasite infestation in humans is caused by poor hygiene practices such as not washing of our hands before eating.

The various types of parasitic worms include roundworms, pinworms, threadworms and tapeworms.

Roundworms get into our body if we ingest the eggs of these worms.

We get tapeworms from eating raw or undercooked meat.

Fish are often found infested with flukes, tapeworms and the nasty anisakine larvae.

If you eat a fish infested with a live anisakine larva, the larva can drill into the intestinal wall or stomach causing intense pain.

The parasite, Giardia Lamblia, is the most common parasite that affects humans caused by the inadequate treatment of drinking water.

Once in the body, parasites can settle almost anywhere. Being what they are, parasites will suck up nutrients, sap our energy level, cause blockage of our vital organs.

Intestinal Parasites Symptoms

Parasites can live within the intestines for man years without causing symptoms. When they do, the symptoms include the following:

Parasite Colon Cleanse

In order to rid the body of the various parasites, you have to have a concoction of various types of herbs suitable for parasite colon cleansing. Many of these herbs have various degree of toxicity.

It is important to consume them under the supervision of a qualified homeopathic practitioner. Some of these herbs are:

• Garlic (Allium sativum). Eating two cloves of raw garlic within hours of a meal can get rid of pinworms and threadworms. Garlic in capsule form is a very good alternative.

• Fennel. Besides aiding in digestion, Fennel seeds also help in the removal of waste and parasites from our body.

• Cloves. Taken in sufficient quantities, cloves help to destroy the eggs of parasites.

• Pumpkin seeds. They are traditionally used as a herbal remedy which help to immobilize parasites so that they lose their abilities to cling on to the intestinal wall.

This helps in the expulsion of intestinal worms through the normal daily bowel movements. Tapeworms and roundworms are susceptible to this treatment.

• Barberry (Berberis vulgaris). Barberry root bark has exhibited the ability to kill parasites and has been commonly used in folk medicine.

• Goldenseal ( Hydrastis canadensis ). Research and studies on the medicinal properties of Goldenseal have found that the herb is especially effective in destroying a large number of internal parasites including Giardia Lamblia.

• Oregon grape ( Berberis aquifolium ) . Oregon grape root and other herbs such as Barberry and Goldenseal contain berberine which is scientifically proven to protect against bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, helminthes (worms) and chlamydia.

Conditions requiring treatment by the Oregon grape root include bacterial diarrhea and intestinal parasites.

• Anise ( Pimpinella anisum ). Anise has modest antiparasitic characteristics and used as a treatment for mild intestinal parasite infestations only.

• Wormwood ( Artemisia annua ). The herb wormwood has been used for thousands of years as an effective herbal remedy for purging parasites. Wormwood tea is excellent for getting rid of pinworms and roundworms.

It is especially effective against the Giardia Lamblia parasite. Wormwood can be found in various forms such as tea, liquid extract or in capsules.

• Black walnuts ( Juglans nigra). This is highly touted as the greatest intestinal parasites killer since time immemorial. As an antihelminthic (treatment used to expel parasitic worms from the colon), black walnut hulls cleanse the intestines of most types of parasites.

The high tannin and juglone content that is present in the hulls causes the blood to be oxygenated thereby killing the parasites. An extract of this herb can be used safely in recommended doses for adults.

However, it is not recommended for infants and young children owing to its high level of toxicity.

There are many types of commercial preparations out there which contain these herbs for parasitic cleansing.

Usually, it is recommended that you complete a minimum course of 30 days.

After completing the course of parasite colon cleanse, it would be highly recommended to follow up with a colon cleansing program so as to ensure that all the dead parasites and their eggs are flushed out of the body.

It is entirely up to you if you wish to adopt a colon cleanse diet or commercially availabe herbal colon cleansing remedies for a good colon cleanse. Both ways are equally good.
