Having a parasite can be a horrifying thought, but you're not alone; parasites are far more common than you think. It’s a myth that parasites only exist in underdeveloped countries. In fact, parasites can causing a myriad of symptoms, only a few of which are actually digestive in nature.

Examples of parasites include roundworms, tapeworms, pin worms, whip worms, hookworms, and more. Because parasites come in so many different shapes and sizes, they can cause a very wide range of problems. Some consume your food, leaving you hungry after every meal and unable to gain weight. Others feed off of your red blood cells, causing anemia. Some lay eggs that can cause itching, irritability, and even insomnia. If you have tried countless approaches to heal your gut and relieve your symptoms without any success, a parasite could be the underlying cause for many of your unexplained and unresolved symptoms.

There are a number of ways to contract a parasite. First, parasites can enter your body through contaminated food and water. Under cooked meat is a common place for parasites to hide, as well as contaminated water from underdeveloped countries, lakes, ponds, or creeks. However, meat is the not the only culprit. Unclean or contaminated fruits and vegetables can also harbor parasites. Some parasites can even enter the body by traveling through the bottom of your foot.

10 Signs You May Have a Parasite

  1. You have an explained constipation, diarrhea, gas, or other symptoms of IBS
  2. You traveled internationally and remember getting traveler’s diarrhea while abroad
  3. Lowered immunity; allergic reactions, food sensitivities.
  4. You have trouble falling asleep, or you wake up multiple times during the night.
  5. You get skin irritations or unexplained rashes, hives, rosacea or eczema.
  6. Excess anxiety, nervousness.  
  7. You have pain or aching in your muscles or joints.
  8. You experience fatigue, exhaustion, depression, or frequent feelings of apathy.
  9. You never feel satisfied or full after your meals.
  10. You've been diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia.

The best way to test for a parasite is to get a stool test. Most doctors will run a conventional stool test if they suspect a parasite, however these are not as accurate as the comprehensive stool tests that are used in functional medicine. If you suspect a parasite it the culprit be sure to ask for this test exclusively.  

Garlic is one food known to kill pathogens.  This is one food you should be eating every day which will keep parasites at bay. It has the ability to optimize bowel flora and kill pathogenic organisms. It is important to note that the garlic MUST be fresh. The active ingredient is destroyed within one hour of smashing the garlic. Garlic pills are virtually worthless and should not be used.  Be sure to include the Fibromyalgia Salad into your daily fare.
