Symptoms of parasitic invasion
Sometimes you can hear from people and such an opinion - why suppress parasites, if they are increasingly used in weight loss programs. But these programs have no scientific basis and are more often than not ordinary quackery.
In nature, no organism would benefit from the parasitic activity of indoor worms. Sooner or later, this activity leads to the destruction of internal organs and the death of the organism itself, on which the parasite feeds. Therefore, our natural aversion to any parasite in the human body fully reflects the true state of affairs - they are harmful and dangerous for us.
How do helminthiasis manifest? The specific symptomatology depends on the type of parasites that have settled in the body, but there are also some common symptoms characteristic of most helminthiases:
- Anemia- the majority of worms localized in the intestine lead to a violation of the composition of the blood, in particular, iron deficiency and other types of anemia.
- Stagnation of the bile ducts(cholestasis), constipation is also often the result of the deterioration of the peristalsis and the obstruction of the bile ducts caused by the parasitic invasion.
- CFS- a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome, accompanied by emotional instability, loss of concentration, memory impairment, jumps in body temperature and constant general weakness, can alsobe a signal to cleanse the body of parasites.
- Irritability, sleep disturbanceswith frequent nocturnal awakenings are caused by the body's attempts to free itself from parasites and worms.
- Fluctuations in body weight(both in the direction of increasing weight and decreasing) can be explained by impaired digestion, decrease in blood sugar, causinghungry and causing a person to shift and gain weight, or vice versa, in order to lose weight - due to the presence of an "internal consumer". This fact debunks the myth about the benefits that can allegedly be obtained from worms in humans.
- Skin problemscan be a consequence of the toxic activity of opisthorchus, fungi, lamblia and other protozoan parasites. Most often they are expressed by urticaria, atopic dermatitis, eczema.
- Allergic reactionscauses indigestion, leading to activation of the body's immune response, increased level of eosinophils in the blood.
- Epigastric discomfort and altered stools(diarrhea) are quite often obvious signs of the presence of worms in the body.
