Parasitic disease is a disease caused by protozoa, helminth and insect. According to statistics, the infection suffers from one of every four inhabitants of the planet. In Russia every year there are about 1.5 million cases of infestation.
The infection is possible by drinking contaminated water, vegetables and fruits, herbs, buy fresh fish and meat in the "illegal" spots, where there is no certificate of veterinary inspection, in communication with Animals. The danger of infestations parasitic that in the absence of treatment there is a slow destruction of the body.
Types of parasites in the human body
Organisms parasites in the human body, are divided into true and false. The first group refers pinworms, Giardia and other parasites, for which parasitism is an indispensable condition for its existence; in the second, those that accidentally enter the body and begin to parasitize.
Each of the pathogens has the tools to help you make yourself a place in the human body. This is a suction Cup, the plate-teeth, hooks, which constantly injure the mucosa. Be microscopic or of considerable size, they destroy the beneficial bacteria that poison the body with their waste and suppress the immune system.
The symptoms of parasites in humans
Because of the variety pathogenetic mechanisms of the effects of parasites in the body, the symptoms can be similar to infectious and surgical diseases. Therefore, for the final diagnosis, the doctors needed the results of laboratory tests.
Doctors typical symptoms of infection of helminth and other parasites. The most prominent of them.

Causes of parasites in the human body
Infecting the other is due to the lack of hygiene or violation of technology of preparation of dishes. List of the main causes of parasites are:
- The use of dirty vegetables, fruits, boiled water;
- Illiterate of the kitchen;
- In case of not complying with the healthcare regulations restoration vendors;
- Contact with animals;
- Touch handles of public doors, carriage by rail;
- Swimming in water contaminated with schistosome;
- The presence of flies in the apartment house;
- Working with the earth, or dung without gloves, play in the sandbox.
The main sources of infestation
The infestation occurs by direct contact or by mouth. Through the mouth parasites can enter the body in two ways: through dirty hands, products, or by eating the wrong heat treatment of meat or fish, which are infected with larvae of parasites.
Parasites in the fish
- Opisthorchiasis. Means of communication: the fish of the carp family. Fluke lives in the liver, the pancreas, causing a temperature rise of 40 degrees, intolerance to fatty, vomiting, pain in the right hypochondrium. The symptoms occur after 2-3 weeks. Opisthorchiasis in recent years, affecting the internal organs.
- Clonorchiasis. Media of fish that live in the waters of China, Korea, Amur region. The symptoms of opisthorchiasis are similar.
- Difillobotrioz. Media – the far Eastern end of the fish. Symptoms: abdominal distension, nausea, drowsiness, unstable stool, salivation.
- Antacids. Media: herring (North sea surprise 55-100%), cod, salmon. Within the body is to eat raw fish. Symptoms: diarrhea, rash, possible intestinal ulcer.
- Ligules. Means of communication: the tent. Not dangerous to humans if the pathogen extract, and the fish is subjected to heat treatment.
Parasites in the meat
- The species Trichinella spiralis. Route of infection – wild game meat or pork. The larvae with the blood to the muscle, causing pain, swelling of the face, the rash is allergic in nature.
- Beef had the infection. Medium – cattle, the route of infection – consumption of beef subjected to minimum heat treatment. Symptoms: constipation, rapid weight loss.
The parasites of plants, fruits of the forest
- Alveococcus multilocularis. A person infected through dirty fruits or dirty hands.
- Geohelminth Ascaris. Characteristics of infection: ingestion of eggs and unwashed fruits and vegetables, drinking not boiled water. The symptoms of infection: cough and Allergy, intestinal obstruction.
- Ancylostoma duodenale. Parasite of the larvae of soil entering the interior of the person, if he swallows them with vegetables and fruits. The parasite that feeds on the blood, lesions of the mucosa of the small intestine, causing inflammation.
- Balantidium coli. Media – pigs, sometimes dogs, and rats. Often, sick people, in a rural environment.
Parasites in the water
- Dracunculiasis. Media – crustaceans Cyclops. They enter the body with poorly treated water. The parasites are released after digestion of crustaceans in the stomach. From there, the worms falling into the subcutaneous fat. A year later, the female parasite form millions of larvae Mature. Its head end reaches the skin, forming a watery bubble of 10 cm in Order to eliminate the itching and burning, the person immerses the affected area and the water, which causes the release of parasites and the beginning of a new round of development.
- Gnathostoma spinigerum. The infection occurs by drinking water is not disinfected water, meat-eating frogs and fish. Symptoms: skin, inflammation and itching, the fever, the possible loss of the eyeball. The disease is recurrent in nature.
Modern methods of diagnosis of parasites
Helminth that live in the intestine, is the feces: coprogram, perianal scrapings, method of enrichment. If the doctor suggests paragons, the analysis of take the sputum, the urine - in cases of suspected urogenital schistosomiasis. The reliability of these methods is only 15-20%.
We have a list of frequently used and current research, specifying their advantages and disadvantages.
- Macro - and microscopic examination of the stool. The performance depends on at what stage of development is a parasite. The victim of the parasite to notice very difficult, so the parasite has to get in the lab live.
- Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The presence of antibodies and antigens by helminth with an accuracy of 60-80% is determined by the type of parasites, their strength.
- Histological coprogram. Stool analysis, which involve the detection of parasites or components of his body with the heavy microscopes.
- Ultrasound, x-ray examination and computed tomography. It detects the changes of the internal organs.
- Bioresonance diagnosis. It takes a determined range of frequencies that broadcast helminth. Detects parasites in all stages of development, indicates its location. The authenticity of 75-95%.
- Hemo-scan. Analysis of the cells of the blood reveals the presence of nonspecific substances and elements indicating the presence of helminth.
- Serological methods (reaction of a ring precipitation test, indirect hemagglutination, enzyme called entities, binding complement, agglutination of latex). Based on the detection of blood antibodies specific.
- Laboratory examination of muscle sections of the skin and the blood. The biopsy and muscle digestion. Allows you to detect the interior of the muscle fibers of larvae of Trichinella.
- Analysis of content duodenal. Fractional detection, during which 3 portions of bile from the duodenum 12. Last about 1.5 hours. The analysis sent still hot bile.
- Examination of the urine. Allows you to detect helminth, parasitic in the system urogenital.
The influence of parasites on human health
The parasites deprive the body of vitamins and minerals, kills the blood cells – white blood cells and red blood cells, leaving only the toxic waste of his life. This is reflected in the development of an allergic reaction and slagging of the intestine and of the liver, the deformation of different bodies, "chronic fatigue syndrome".
In General, the impact of parasites on health can be divided into mechanical, toxic, immune, and food. These are the most dangerous for the human disorders:
- Peritonitis, caused by parasites clinging to the walls of the intestine and ulcers.
- Intestinal obstruction caused by the accumulation of tangles of parasites.
- Violation of trophism of tissues and organs, caused by the compression of the parasites of the blood vessels.
- Beriberi, which slows down growth and the process of weight gain.
- Violation of the metabolism of proteins, related to the violation of a leakage of biochemical processes.
- Menstrual disorders, vaginitis in women, infertility, prostatitis in men.
- May develop pneumonia, asthma, diabetes, diseases of the joints.
Treatment of parasites in the human body
Treatment of helminth involves the selection of a specific anthelmintic drugs. The industry. it produces a large quantity of drugs belonging to different chemical groups. Folk remedies can also help fight the disease, but keep in mind that do not take into account your individuality as a patient, the presence of diseases concomitant.
Folk remedy for parasites
Folk remedies are can also be seen in the initial phase of the disease. They act slower than synthetic drugs, but cause the body less damage. We have a list of the most effective:
- Monastic tea of parasites. Kills helminth, protozoa, spores of fungi. The basis of: agrimony, bark of the oak, marsh cudweed, yarrow, leaves of birch, wormwood, calendula, chamomile, connected in known only to the manufacturer proportions. If drinking for 21 days, the parasites will die, and their waste products are removed, the affected areas of the internal organs will begin to recover.
- Tincture of wormwood pumpkin seeds. Dry raw materials of the sage, and the pre-crushed seeds pour vodka in the ratio of 1:3, insist on a very Sunny location for 7 days; take twice a day 50 ml, preferably 30 minutes before meals. It normalizes the intestinal microflora, stimulates the secretion bile, neutralizes toxins, strengthens the immune system.
- Rosettes of parasites. Carnation disinfects the internal organs, restores the protection of the functions of the body after poisoning, relieves pain. Treat giardiasis and opisthorchiasis. Home apply grain of dust: a mixture of grains and flax seeds in a ratio of 1:10, grind and take 3 days in a row before flour 1 teaspoon (allowed to drink water).
- Garlic against parasites. Afternoon: apples or sauerkraut, then, in small portions and completely swallow finely chopped garlic – 200 g, with cucumber, tomato, and cucumber. At 16.00 hours the next day – only pickles or sauerkraut, then put an enema (to get rid of the dead helminth). Enema: in 2 liters of water to brew 1 tablespoon of chamomile, then cooling the broth and add 1 tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar and sea salt.
- Triad of parasites. Triad is called an anti-parasite collection, which includes a green shell of a new, large and wormwood or tansy, wormwood, and large (according to the method Ivanchenko). Contraindications: children, pregnancy, gastrointestinal disease, intoxication, immunodeficiency.
- Tansy of parasites. The bitter taste of tansy is an antagonist of worms and Giardia. We give the recipe: 20 g raw pour a liter of boiling water and insist hour. Adults take 1/2 C three times a day before eating, children 1 tbsp.
- Pumpkin seeds for parasites. Used in combination with the garlic. Crushed roasted in a dry frying pan 200 grams of raw seeds: mix and also crushed 6 cloves garlic and 2 tablespoons of honey. Insist on half a day, then take 1 tablespoon for adults and 1 teaspoon for children aged 4 days.
- Soda of parasites. The treatment consists of a course of enemas of 8 to 10 sessions. 20-30 gr. of sodium dissolved in 800 ml of water, heated to 38-42 degrees. Before the treatment, make an enema of cleaning, and then the prepared solution was injected for 30 minutes. After the bowel is once more put an enema cleaning.
Remember that the media used in medicine folk, sometimes only alleviate the symptoms of the infection. Do not give up your medication prescribed by your doctor.
