Symptoms of parasitic infestation
Sometimes you can hear from people and such an opinion - why get rid of parasites if they are increasingly used in weight loss programs. But such programs have no scientific basis and are often commonplace.
In nature there is no organism that would benefit from the parasitic activity of worms within it. Sooner or later, this activity leads to the destruction of internal organs and the death of the organism itself, which feeds the parasite. Therefore, our natural aversion to any parasite in the human body fully reflects the true state of affairs - they are harmful and dangerous to us.
How are helminthiases manifested? The specific symptomatology depends on the type of parasites that have settled in the body, but there are also common symptoms characteristic of most helminthiases:
- Anemia- most worms located in the intestines lead to a violation of blood composition, in particular, iron deficiency and other types of anemia.
- Stagnation in the bile ducts(cholestasis), constipation is often also the result of worsening peristalsis and blockage of the bile ducts caused by parasitic invasion.
- CFS- a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome, associated with emotional instability, loss of concentration, memory impairment, jumps in body temperature and constant general weakness, can also be asignal for cleansing the body of parasites.
- Nervousness, sleep disturbanceswith frequent nocturnal awakenings are caused by the body's efforts to rid itself of parasites and worms. Movements in body weight, to lose weight - due to the presence of an "internal consumer". This fact dispels the myth about the benefits that are claimed to be obtained from worms in humans.
- Skin problemsmay be due to the toxic activity of opisthorchus, fungi, lamblia and other protozoan parasites. Most often they are expressed with urticaria, atopic dermatitis, eczema.
- Allergic reactionscause indigestion, leading to the activation of the body's immune response, an increase in the level of eosinophils in the blood.
- Epigastric discomfort and impaired stool(diarrhea) are quite often clear signs of the presence of worms in the body.
