Parasites represent the largest population of living organisms on earth. There are so many types of them that even modern science finds it difficult to name their exact number. People have very different attitudes towards them. Some believe that in nature everything is balanced and these creatures have the right to life. Others, mostly parasitologists, treat them as their name suggests - as pests that live and feed on someone else's body.
The vital activity of parasites, whether helminths, microscopic organisms or insect larvae living in the human body, leads to damage to internal organs. Over time, they cease to function normally and the parasitic infestation spreads throughout the body, often leading to the death of a person. Therefore, most experts consider the problem of body cleansing urgent.
Symptoms of parasitic infestation
Parasites in the human body may not appear for a long time, but under favorable conditions they will begin to multiply rapidly and affect the health of those infected. A person will suffer not only from the helminths themselves, but also from the toxins released by them as a waste product.
it is quite difficult to determine the presence of helminths or other parasites in your body, therefore, any diagnosis should be made by a doctor based on blood, feces and urine tests and other studies. But you can suspect a parasitic infestation by the following signs:
- unreasonable nervousness;
- digestive disorders;
- ul oreksin;
- severe fatigue;
- anemia.
Symptoms are not specific, they are common to many other diseases. But if they are all pronounced, and a person before their appearance was in potentially dangerous situations (a trip to tropical countries, contact with homeless animals, drinking water from unverified sources), the risk of parasitic infection is very high. high. Therefore, if some of the factors listed coincide, it is recommended that you consult a physician and be tested for the presence of parasites.
Medical cleansing of the body from parasites
Medications can only be started after the test results have been obtained and the patient history has been studied.
Due to the fact that most antiparasitic drugs have toxic effects on the liver and kidneys, they should only be used under medical supervision. It is also necessary to choose medicines with medical help, taking into account the type of parasite and the general condition of the infected. What is appropriate to get rid of helminths in one case may be useless in another.
Principle of action of antiparasitic drugs
The pharmacological action of drugs on parasitic worms is aimed at biochemical processes in tissues and their biological structures. As a rule, most of them have a nervous effect, which is expressed in different ways:
- By blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the helminth muscle cells, as a result of which they develop a state of permanent paralysis. In this condition, helminths are secreted from the body along with feces.
- Violation of glucose uptake into parasite cells, which leads to its death.
- Disruption of parasite intestinal tract activity.
There are combination drugs that disrupt bioprocesses in helminth cells and paralyze them.
How to properly cleanse the body of worms
Using anthelmintic drugs for other purposes (for example, intended to get rid of another type of worm or for prevention purposes) or non-compliance with doses can lead to serious complications.
- If you try to get rid of worms with ineffective doses, the worms will not leave the body, but will start migrating through it, infecting other organs, previously untouched and complicating the condition ofpatient.
- Cleansing from parasites with insufficient doses of antihelminthic agents can lead to a false impression of the effect (if the depressant effect of the drug only on the laying of helminth eggs, the tests will show a negative result), but the parasitic activity does notwill stop.
- Overdose can increase the toxicity of anthelmintic drugs and the person will have liver or kidney problems from taking them.
Thus, before you start cleansing your body of parasites, you should undergo a thorough examination and choose the most appropriate medication.
Antiparasitic cleansing with medication
When a person learns about the presence of parasites in his body, he usually experiences shock and wants to know how to get the worms out of the body as quickly as possible. But you should hurry with only one thing - immediately visit a doctor, undergo an additional examination to clarify the type of helminthiasis and choose the right treatment regimen.
The fight against ascariasis, enterobiasis (worms) and other roundworm helminthiasis requires the use of certain medications prescribed by a specialist.
Treatment of enterobiasis
The fight against worms, an infection called enterobiasis, requires special attention.
These parasites can crawl out of the anus at night and lay microscopic eggs in large quantities outside the human body.
Thus, their eggs can get into the underwear and hands of a person who sleeps during involuntary scratching, especially under the nails. And then they can be spread all over the house, dusting on upholstered furniture, curtains, walls, door handles and children’s toys. They maintain their stability for several years and can cause infection in a large number of people. Therefore, in the house where the person infected with worms lives, special precautions must be taken:
- Antiparasitic cleansing of the body should be done for all family members and people from close environment.
- Thorough wet cleaning of the house is necessary every day. First, you need to collect dust from floors and furniture with a vacuum cleaner and then wash the floor with laundry soap (it is more effective for cleaning worms than household chemicals, even with chlorine).
- After cleaning, wash your hands with laundry soap.
- Underwear and bedding should be washed with the hottest water possible and ironed.
- Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet and before eating.
- Cut short children's nails, decide to sleep in tight panties or pajamas that should be washed daily.
Cleansing the body of parasites at home
Often people infected with helminths are interested in the question of whether it is possible to quickly get rid of parasites at home and how to remove parasites from the human body at home.
It should be borne in mind that the effectiveness of the action of many folk remedies that promise rapid eradication of parasites has never been scientifically studied by anyone, although many drugs that ensure the elimination of parasites use natural ingredients - medicinal plants.
Proposed recipes for decoctions or herbal infusions may contain insufficient or excessive amounts of the active ingredient, so their use is extremely unsafe in itself and can lead to the complications described above. To determine the dose and duration of such treatment, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
How to cleanse the body - principles of treatment
Complete anthelmintic cleansing of the body should be based on the following principles:
- Destroy helminths with an antihelminthic agent.
- Remove dead or paralyzed parasites from the intestines with laxative or a cleansing enema.
- To avoid allergic manifestations, antihistamines should be taken during cleansing.
- In severe cases, accompanied by damage to internal organs, restorative therapy is required (for example, taking hepatoprotectors for liver damage). It is also necessary to cleanse yourself of toxins and toxins resulting from the activity of parasites.
- To normalize the functions of the whole body, it is necessary to observe a complete and balanced diet that excludes foods that damage the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.
The Most Popular Ways to Get Rid of Parasites
Before performing antiparasitic cleansing of the body, it is strongly recommended to consult a doctor about the contraindications. Also, patients often have an individual intolerance to some folk remedies.
- Many people consider the simplest but most effective way to use spicy foods - garlic, onion, mustard, pepper. Despite the apparent reliability of this method, it is dangerous to clean with this method - in large quantities, burning food can damage the intestinal mucosa.
- There is a version about the benefits of dry fasting - supposedly deprived of nutrition, the worms leave the body literally on the third or fifth day. But this is a misconception: for example, tapeworms are able to live for months without food from outside, content with fragments of their body. For their durability, it is enough for their head and neck to survive, and the rest of the body can be “eaten” and restored again. They are not susceptible to hunger and parasites living in a person's blood, eyes, brain and spinal cord, in the genitourinary system, in the heart or by creating cysts in these organs.
- Cleansing with baking soda or hydrogen peroxide, actively promoted as a technique by a renowned professor, is one of the few methods that deserves attention but is subject to medical observation of patient well-being. Both methods involve a gradual increase in dosage from the initial minimum doses to the maximum allowed: soda - from the top of a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon, hydrogen peroxide - to 1 drop of a 3% solution diluted in 50 ml of mineral water ordistilled, up to 30 drops per day for 3 weeks. But the course must be prescribed by the attending physician. The technique is ineffective against parasite eggs and larvae, as well as some adult varieties.
In an effort to get rid of the problem quickly, you should not risk using extreme cleaning methods and looking for ways you can still destroy unwanted guests in the body. Such zeal can end in the destruction of not only helminths but also internal organs that are not designed for forced therapy with tansy, wormwood and other medicinal plants.
Proponents of natural remedies can consult a doctor on how to get rid of parasites with natural pharmaceutical preparations, cleansed of toxic impurities.
