What are the most common types of parasites, and how do most people get them?
Parasites are very common—about 50% of patients I see in my practice are infected with at least one (and often more). The vast majority of people affected are undiagnosed and don’t even know they’re carrying one.
We’re exposed to parasites constantly; they can be contracted in many situations, from eating meat or fish, to walking barefoot or sleeping in a bed with a pet that’s carrying something.
When most people think of parasites, they think of intestinal worms like tapeworm, roundworm, hookworm, and threadworms—all of which can actually be seen with the naked eye. While I still find patients with those types of worms, the most common parasites are actually microscopic.
Amoebas, flukes, and spirochetes are so small they can’t be seen with the naked eye. Amoebas are very common in the summer; I also see them when patients return from traveling to India or Mexico because you can get them from drinking bad water (giardia and entamoeba histolytica are common ones).
However you contract them, amoebas cause diarrhea.
Flukes, or haematobium, are tiny snails that live at the bottom of lakes and in brackish water, and people often contract them from swimming and swallowing the water. There are different kinds of flukes—one that goes to the liver (hepatica) and one that goes to the bloodstream (haematobium).
In fact, many of the patients that come to me with liver complaints are actually dealing with hepatica. Spirochetes, the microscopic parasites that cause Lyme and syphilis, are transferred through tick bites or sexual contact.
And I believe candida can be considered a parasite—anything that infests the body and has a life of its own should be considered part of this category.
How are parasites connected to heavy metals, radiation, and other toxicity?
If you have a health system with a low vibrational field or a weakened immune system, you’re more susceptible to parasites. We’re all already tired, and our cells are moving slowly, so a parasite can knock us over—it can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Parasites like the environment of heavy metals, chemicals, and radiation. Heavy metals and chemicals have a low vibrational frequency that causes our cells to slow down and lose their vitality.
On the other hand, radiation, including both fallout and EMF, can cause agitation in the cells, creating weakness in our neurological and immune systems. As long as there are heavy metals, chemicals, and/or radiation in your system, you are more susceptible to parasites and their eggs.
Using a zeolite to remove toxic metals and other toxins is a great idea and can be as simple as making a drink twice a day.
