The deadliest parasite known to man is airborne. Are parasites sucking the life out of you?
Parasites come in all shapes and sizes; some are so tiny you wouldn’t even know if you had them. But the largest can grow up to 82 feet (25m) long. Thankfully, anything that size is quite rare. But the smaller ones?
Meh, not so rare.
Science is still counting their numbers, some estimates suggest it can run into the thousands, if not tens of thousands. The only thing we can say for sure is this, parasites affect everyone from adorable babies to reliable old grandpa’s.
If you have ever swum in a stream, kept a dog, or been on holiday abroad your risk actually increases. This can create something of a disconnect when trying to find the source of a parasitic infection. Let’s not forget that we could also be looking for something the size of a pinhead!
Still not convinced, huh?
Check this out. Two decades ago in the U.S. a parasite entered Milwaukee drinking water and killed 69 people and sickened 400,000. More recently, in 2015, a potentially deadly amoeba was found in the water supply of a parish outside New Orleans (for the second time in two years). This is real folks, and it can happen in any town or city across the globe.
The deadliest parasite known to man is airborne. The World Health Organization (WHO), estimates that malaria killed 438,000 people in 2015 alone. Yup, malaria is spread by a parasite. No really, it’s true.
We like to think of parasites as a third world problem, but today the world has become a much smaller place. Food is flown and shipped around the world with ease and parasites travel visa-free. This opens the door to parasites from the food you eat and the water you drink.
Undercooked pork is particularly susceptible. To be sure, commercial pig farming is a barbaric practice at the best of times. Ironically, filthy inhumane living conditions are not how the pig would choose to live. My point is this, be careful where you buy your meat from. Local pasture-raised meat is better by a country mile.
What’s the biggest cause of a parasitic infection? — An underperforming immune system.
GOOD NEWS
Fortunately, a parasite and worm cleanse is easy enough to do. Effective cleanses can be found in your local health food store. You can also seek the services of a healthcare professional. If for any reason that path takes you on a fruitless mission, you could also look into “Zapping”.
This is a small battery-operated device but unlike the name suggests, it’s quite harmless to you. To parasites, not so much. It works by emitting a very low range frequency onto the skin which is thought to disrupts parasite cycles.
A basic zapping unit starts around $50. A top of the line zapper can get unnecessarily expensive. You can find out more about parasite zappers with a simple google search. Combining the zapper with a parasite cleanse may prove more effective. You can purchase zappers online (a world without parasites sells them) and for the parasite cleanse I use Grandma’s Herbs.
DIATOMACEOUS EARTH
If your budget is running a little tight be sure to check out food grade diatomaceous earth. As an added bonus, it brings to the table other health benefits. Diatomaceous earth may also prove helpful fungi as well as parasites making it a win/win.
It’s imperative that you buy only FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth. It’s actually as cheap as chips. A one-pound bag sells for around 10 bucks. Diatomaceous earth is best taken on an empty stomach in the morning with water. The dose may vary depending on your size, age and weight so always consult the company you buy it from.
Diatomaceous earth is a white, porous, sedimentary rock, naturally-made from the fossilized remains of diatoms. Diatomaceous earth may also help with bowel movements; some people say they “just feel better” after consuming it. That said, best results are often experienced when by rotating consumption, ten days on, ten days off.
Depending on how congested you are, it may take a week or so before you begin to see more regular bowel movements. When done correctly, an effective parasite protocol lifts the burden off the immune system and may even help curb those junk food cravings.
What did we learn from this?
Parasites are a part of this world. They can steal vital nutrients and kill millions of people.
