10 Symptoms You Have Parasites in Your Body

According to data from the WHO (World Health Organization), 3.5 billion people around the world are suffering from various types of parasitic infections. Parasites live in our body and feed on the nutrients in our tissues, which can seriously harm our health.

There are different forms of parasites that can reside in different parts of our body, although they usually live in our intestines. They can cause numerous health problems such as anemia and sudden weight loss as they feed on the nutrients our body needs.

Here are 10 symptoms which indicate that you’re suffering from a parasitic infection:

Anemia;

Weight loss or inability to gain weight;

Sleeping problems such as bruxism and insomnia;

Anxiety, restlessness, nervousness, mood swings and depression;

Skin problems such as dry and itchy skin, eczema, sores and lesions;

Exhaustion, fatigue and apathy;

Fertility problems, PMS symptoms, menstrual problems, cysts, fibroids and fluid retention;

Digestive problems such as diarrhea as the parasites attack the intestinal lining;

Muscle and joint problems, cramps, numbness and tingling in the limbs;

Irritable bowel syndrome – this is a common symptom of an intestinal parasitic infection which occurs due to the inflammation caused by the parasites in the intestinal lining.

The only way to diagnose an intestinal parasitic infection is a stool test – this can help the doctor learn the severity of the problem and take the appropriate measures. The usual treatment involves antibiotics and antibacterial pills, as well as some lifestyle and diet changes.

First and foremost, if you’re suffering from a parasitic infection, you need to cut out sugar from your diet as the parasites feed on it.

Furthermore, there are plenty of natural herbs and supplements which can decimate the number of parasites in your intestines.

Gentian root, raw cabbage, Aloe Vera, blackberries, pumpkin seeds, pineapple, papaya, pomegranate seeds and coconut oil are all powerful antibacterial and anti-parasitic agents that can resolve the problem naturally and without side-effects.
