PARASITES – HIDDEN RESIDENTS WITHIN?
The following is adapted from the extensive experience of Dr Omar Amin, Director of the Parasitology Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Amin’s broad experience and research in Africa, the middle East, Asia, and the Americas has made his lab one of the best parasitology centers in world. He collaborates with hundreds of health professionals, many of whom are alternative health practitioners, in all 7 continents. https://www.parasitetesting.com/ A parasite is a microbe that lives inside or on a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.THE FOLLOWING ARE COMMON SYMPTOMS PARASITE INFECTION
diarrhea fatigue joint pain constipation nausea, memory loss irritable bowel skin rash dermatitis cramps dry cough headaches bloating brain fog, malabsorption lymph blockage mucus allergies Many people tend, including physicians, have heard about a few parasites such as amoeba or giardia, but they tend to overlook the relationship between parasites, chronic digestive disorders and chronic illness in general. The common belief that peoples in the US are free of parasites is an illusion. Some estimate that about 50 million American children are infected with worm parasites; only a small portion of which is detected and reported. Microscopic, single cell parasites, called protozoans, make up about 90% of all parasitic infections in the US according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The most recent statistics of the worldwide prevalence of certain selected parasites follows: Malaria 489 million human infections 1-2 million annual deaths Ascaris 1.0 billion human infections 20,000 annual deaths Hookworms 900 million human infections 50-60,000 annual deaths Whipworms 750 million human infections Schistosomes 200 million human infections 0.5-1.0 million annual deathsHOW WE CONTRACT PARASITES.
Parasites are sometimes invisible (micro-organisms) and sometimes visible to the eye and called a macro-organism, and they all need to obtain nutrients by feeding off host tissues or body fluids that contain the specific biochemicals that it needs. There are parasites for every single tissue of the human body. A parasite has to gain access via the oral cavity with contaminated food or drink if it is to cause infection. Other portals of entry are less common. Eight ways by which humans can contract parasitic infections are summarized below:DRINKING WATER:

SKIN CONTACT WITH CONTAMINATED WATER:

FOOD:

INSECTS:
Most blood sucking insects can transmit parasites with their bite as they attempt to feed on human blood. In the US, ticks transmit lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, relapsing fever, Colorado tick fever, babesiosis, and rabbit fever.
