Laboratory tests for parasites

• Stool and blood tests are insufficient for determination of parasite infestation

• Stool tests - anywhere from $100 to over $200

• It costs less to do a colon parasite cleanse than to have the lab tests conducted

Naturopathic Indicators and Tests

1. Questionnaire for symptoms

2. Sclerology

3. Energetic Response Testing (muscle response testing)

4. I always suspect parasites with bowel problems, blood sugar issues, autoimmune, and degenerative conditions

The major symptom indicators to look for

_____ Foul smelling stools - worse in afternoon and evening

_____ Alternating consistency of stools and bowel habits

_____ Itching around the anus, especially at night

_____ Stomach aches or bowel cramping

_____ Excessive nose irritations or picking

_____ Grinding teeth at night

_____ Restlessness in sleep

______Sleep with pets

Sclerology- multitude of little red lines in the outer quadrant of both eyes is an indicator

Energetic Response Testing or sometimes called Muscle Response Testing

• Muscle test thumb to little finger of left hand – an indicator for localized parasites

• Muscle test the two bony points of collar bone with one finger in-between (using three fingers) – an indicator for systemic parasites

Some parasites excrete a toxin that keeps the eggs from hatching. When you remove the adults the eggs will hatch. (use a 10 day on and 5 day off treatment program to break the cycle)

Cysts can be the bodies attempt to isolate things it can’t deal with or remove, such as parasites.

Best Approach for Recovery from Parasites

1. Kill the parasites

2. Remove the toxins

3. Repair the damage

4. Strengthen the immune system

Garlic (allium sativa) contains the active constituent allicin, which has been shown to be effective against Entamoeba histolyticaand Giardia lambia. It has antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is used for pinworms, roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and giardia. Garlic is available in capsule and tablet form.

Another way is to juice three cloves of garlic with four ounces of vegetable juice.

Goldenseal (Hydrastis Canadensis) has been used historically for infections involving the mucous membranes throughout the body. The active constituent of goldenseal is the alkaloid berberine, which has been shown to be effective against bacteria, fungi and parasites, particularly giardia parasites.

Black walnut is a traditional herbal remedy for ringworm, athlete’s foot, and healing cracks in the hands and the feet. It is the juice of unripe hulls of black walnut that are used for parasites and fungal infections.

Wormwood (Artemesia annua) has been used for centuries as a herbal remedy for parasites. Wormwood tea is often used for pinworms and roundworms and is especially effective against giardia. Wormwood can be found in tea, liquid extract, or capsule form, however, the pure oil is poisonous. It can initially cause a worsening of symptoms and some irritation of the intestines. Wormwood contains sesquiterpene lactones, which work similar to peroxide by weakening the parasite membranes. Wormwood also contains an ingredient that is effective against malaria.

American Wormseed (different from wormwood) is a traditional herbal remedy in the tropics for expelling roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.

It is considered to be especially useful for children.

The concentrated wormseed oil is too potent to use, wormseed tea is often preferable. More scientific studies are needed to confirm the historical usage of this herb and its safety.

Pumpkin seeds (Curcubita pepo) have been used as a herbal remedy for tapeworms and roundworms. They have been shown to immobilize and help expel intestinal worms and other parasites. In order to be effective, significant amounts would have to be eaten, up to 25 ounces for adults. The seeds are usually mashed and mixed with juice. Two or three hours after consuming the pumpkin seeds, a laxative is often recommended to help clear the bowels.

Grapefruit seed extract is active against viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and yeasts, and has been used extensively for the treatment of parasites. Grapefruit seed extract is generally considered nontoxic and is not absorbed into the tissues, which means that is can be used safely for up to several months. It is especially effective for giardiaand also candida yeast issues (but will take longer to eliminate).
