1/2 Of The United States has Parasites
Many people believe that parasites only happen to someone else and that they do not have them. But it has been estimated that more than 50% of all people in the Western world will have some sort of parasitic or semi-parasitic animal living in their bodies. It is also thought that parasites could be a co-factor in almost every illness that we now suffer from. So is having a thorough parasite cleanse actually healthy for us and our bodies?
Dr. Oz: Parasites: Crypto; Giardia, Whipworm; Tapeworms; Roundworms; Dr. Oz explained today that parasites can live in your intestinal tract for years, one study found that 46% of people diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome actually had parasites responsible for the symptoms. Dr. Robin Chutkan joins DR. Oz today and say if you’re feeling exhausted all the time it may not be from lack of sleep, it could be a parasite causing your chronic tiredness. 40 Million people have parasites thriving inside of them and most don’t even know it…maybe you and I are one of them!
One go the easiest ways to get parasites in our body is through contaminated drinking water, the other problem is people not washing their hands carefully enough. The other thing is that we are receiving a lot of our fruits and vegetables from over seas and people migrating, travelling.
The regulations for food in particular are not that stringent, there was an episode at the Atlanta’s farmers markets several years ago where a snake arrived wrapped around a large bunch of banana’s. If they can miss a ten foot long snake it is safe to say they can miss a tiny microscopic worm that might be living in the digestive tract.
Dr. Oz said there are two kinds of parasites that can make you sick and tired:
Visible worms such as round worms and tape worms which can grow to be 50 feet in length and can live 25 years in our gut. We get tapeworms from eating raw or undercooked meat. Fish are often found infested with flukes, tapeworms and the nasty anisakine larvae.
Whip worms – Dr Oz show us a demonstration of someone’s intestinal tract living in the U.S. and it was totally crawling with whip worms. Now I am not talking about a few hundred, were talking infested eating away at the persons gut which would cause anemia.
Apparently the patient had no idea she was infected with thousands of these little worms. -The whip worm burrows into the wall of the intestines and literally suck your blood — they absorb blood -eat it up and you become anemic and that leads to fatigue.
Now these are parasites that you can see but there is a whole set parasites that are making you exhausted that are microscopic parasites and we are seeing more and more of these in the U.S. said Dr. Oz.
The two microscopic parasites in the U. S. are:
CRYPTOSPORIDIUM: this parasite comes from run off water from cattle farms. The infection is called Cryptosporidiosis – also known as crypto. This parasite is protected by an outer shell that allows it to survive outside the body for long periods of time. This shell also makes it resistant to disinfectants. They are ideal carriers for many of our autoimmune diseases. During the past 2 decades, crypto has become recognized as one of the most common causes of waterborne disease within humans in the United States. It may be found in drinking water and recreational water in EVERY REGION of the United States AND throughout the WORLD. The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms include dehydration, weight loss, stomach cramps and/or pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms show 2-10 days after becoming infected and can last for 1-2 weeks.
CRYPTO was responsible for the outbreak in Milwaukee several years ago, over 400,000 people were infected and over 100 people died. This is from contaminated city water – chlorine in water does not kill the Crypto parasite.
GIARDIA: GIARDIA LAMBIA - They live in drinking water and are not affected by chlorine because of their hard outer shell. They cause severe stomach infections that are routinely misdiagnosed as the stomach flu, the stomach bug or a stomach virus with severe diarrhea and abdominal pain. The infection also causes gas and greasy stools that tend to float, fatigue, nausea, weight loss and dehydration. It is estimated that 50% of drinking water in the United States has the Giardia Lambia present. The symptoms show 1-2 weeks after infection and can last for 2-6 weeks. A giardia infection is very contagious.
Giardia is commonly found in daycare centres and nursing homes, anyone who is handling stool on a regular basis. Studies have found that 20-30% of day care workers may be infected with Giardia parasite.
People who have chronic conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome are actually infected with parasites that are responsible for the conditions said Dr. Chutkan.
Warning signs to look for to know if you may have any of these parasites;:
- Exhausted
- Yellow Stools
- Bloating
- Cramps
- Fatigue
These symptoms can happen within the first two weeks of being exposed to the infection, but you can get a lingering fatigue that can be misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).
