Parasites frequently contaminate
food and water supplies, promoting illness when ingested. Other modes of
transmission include air, insects, animals or other people. Intestinal
parasites tax the immune system and deplete the body of essential
nutrients. To return the body to a state of equilibrium, it is important
to consume natural foods that contain anti-parasitic properties. The
diet should also be high in fiber to improve colon function, and
maintain a suitable intestinal flora (beneficial bacteria).
Gut Friendly Foods
Parasitic
infections show up in the human body when the immune system is
compromised. This is frequently associated with an overgrowth of bad
bacteria, and a lower percentage of good bacteria such as Lactobacillus
acidophilus. Include plain yogurt enriched with healthy bacteria in your
diet to replenish intestinal flora. According to Larry Trivieri and
John W. Anderson in their book "Alternative Medicine: the Definitive
Guide," fiber-rich ingredients are essential to flush out parasites
embedded in the intestinal wall. To help remove a parasitic
infestation, use a combination of pumpkin seeds, papaya extract,
flaxseeds, beet root, citrus pectin and psyllium husks.
