Parasites - do you have an uninvited guest eating up all your food?

​Digestive issues are the most common thing I deal with in my clinic. 
  • Bloating
  • Recurring yeast infections
  • Food allergies/sensitivities
  • Food cravings
  • Persistent digestion issues
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea 
  • Hungry all the time-no appetite
 
These can all be signs of a parasite infection, along with
  • Mood swings
  • Strong sugar cravings
  • Unhealthy food cravings
  • Anemia
  • Skin issues
  • Bleeding gums
  • Headaches
  • Anxiety
  • Nervousness
  • Teeth grinding
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Painful joints
  • Bad breath
  • Itching
  • Memory issues
 
There are a number of ways you can come in contact with a parasite
  • Contamination – food, water, soil, insects
  • Protozoa – like Giardiasis
  • Helminths -  worms – can like inside or outside the body
  • Ectoparasites – insects like ticks, mosquito’s, fleas and mites
 
So who is at risk?  Those with:
  • low immunity
  • compromised digestion
  • travel to tropical/subtropical regions
  • lack of clean water
  • swim in lakes, rivers
  • work in childcare, with soil or with animals
 
I am seeing more positive results for parasites than I used to.  We used to associate parasites more with developing countries. I believe it is likely due to declining health of our digestive system, which in turn lowers our immunity and prevents our body killing off the parasite on first contact.
 
 
How do you know if you have a parasite?  I use a stool sample test to determine the presence of parasites.  
 
That’s where the work begins.  Parasites can take time to get rid of.  I use a combination of herbs and diets, working alongside your GP with specific antibiotics to target the parasite present.  Then it’s all about healing he gut so that the next time a parasite won’t find it so easy to take hold
 
If you think you may have a parasite or have a confirmed parasite and need help, contact Carina for an appointment
