Statistics show that almost a third of the population is infected with parasites. Therefore, everyone should know how to remove worms without compromising health, because parasite infection is the cause of many chronic diseases. In addition, worms in humans cause intoxication of the body with the waste products of worms. However, many people do not know about the existence of parasites in their own body, and some do not attach any importance to this, not considering the problem a threat to health.
Helminth eggs can enter the human body along with water and food. Raw water, unwashed fruits and vegetables, undercooked meat with blood, sushi, lard with streaks are all potential sources of infection. Unwashed hands and walking barefoot on the ground also pose a risk of infection.
Based on the foregoing, the conclusion suggests itself that parasites are a problem that requires close attention. Therefore, if you are infected, understanding how to deworm a person will help you stay healthy.
Detection of parasite infestation
Like any other disease, helminthiasis has its own symptoms. These include:
- chronic or frequent stool disorder - constipation or diarrhea;
- blood in the stool;
- bloating;
- nausea, vomiting;
- abdominal pain;
- nervous excitability, irritability, chronic fatigue;
- dyspnea;
- itching of the skin around the anus;
- allergic reactions - skin rashes, cough, rhinitis, neurodermatitis, bronchial asthma;
- frequent headaches or dizziness;
- swelling of the legs, swollen lymph nodes;
- bitterness in the mouth;
- decrease or increase in appetite;
- causeless muscle pain;
- low temperature;
- weight loss.
It is extremely difficult to identify infection by signs alone, since the same symptoms can characterize different diseases. Immediately after infection, helminthiasis may be invisible and asymptomatic. Therefore, it is recommended to take an analysis of feces (three times), scrapings (the same number of times) and blood. Examination of feces and scrapings are taken three times due to the fact that the identification of worm eggs is very difficult the first time.
Therapeutic actions
Treatment for worms should be carried out in a complex, dividing into stages:
- body preparation;
- removal of helminths;
- restoration of impaired functions.
The first stage of treatment involves the use of vegetable oils and sorbents designed to cleanse the body of toxic substances.
After completing the preparation of the body, it is necessary to begin treatment with medicines. The choice of antihelminthic drug depends on the type of helminths. More often than others, people have roundworms - roundworms, pinworms and whipworms. To remove worms of these species from the body, agents are recommended that kill parasites by disrupting their metabolic processes.
Do not take medications on your own, and even more so for preventive purposes, since each of them has side effects. Synthetic agents are highly toxic, and their use heavily burdens the liver, already weakened by the waste products of worms. When using these medicines, there may be abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, stool disorder, lack of coordination, numbness of the limbs, tingling and crawling, prolonged fever, hair loss. In special cases, convulsions, hallucinations and loss of consciousness are possible.
After identifying the infection, contact a qualified specialist who will prescribe the necessary treatment for you and tell you how to remove the worms from the body, based on individual characteristics.
At the last stage, the patient must take drugs that cleanse the gastrointestinal tract. Such medicines, where the main active element is milk thistle, help to restore the structure of the liver and remove toxins. For the rehabilitation of normal metabolism, you should take drugs saturated with vitamins and trace elements.
Increasing the protective properties of the body
After removing the helminths from the body, no one is immune from re-infection. In order to increase immunity, it is necessary to take general strengthening agents, since a weakened body is more susceptible to infection.
Allergic reactions to the presence of worms in the body are eliminated by antihistamines.
Folk ways to deal with the disease
How to drive away worms, our ancestors knew well. Sanitary and hygienic conditions were much worse, so worms in humans were not uncommon. Time-tested folk remedies are effective and appropriate when the medical method of treatment is unacceptable due to intolerance to drugs or any diseases.
Flax and cloves remove helminths from the body of almost all types. The seeds of the first, together with the second plant (1: 10), must be crushed to a powder state. Drink 20-25 g per day. Reception lasts 3 days. After a three-day break, repeat the course. Treatment should be continued for a month.
Pinworms and roundworms are sensitive to onions. It is necessary to clean the average onion and pour 250 ml of boiled water. Infuse for 12 hours, then strain. Drink a third or half a glass of infusion for 3-4 days.
Garlic helps in the fight against parasites, especially with pinworms. Grind a few cloves of spice, pour boiled non-hot water. Insist for 20-30 minutes. You can use the infusion for both enema and candles.
Pumpkin seeds contain cucurbitacin, which affects the nervous system of worms. You need to sprinkle the seeds with salt water and fry in a pan in vegetable oil. For effective treatment, 10-15 seeds per day are enough.
Walnuts are afraid of roundworms and tapeworms. Boil lightly salted water. 4 tbsp. l. crushed walnuts pour the resulting boiling water. Infuse for 30 minutes and strain. Drink the medicine during the day while taking a laxative.
An infusion of chicory to combat helminths has the following recipe: 1 tsp. grated root of the plant is mixed with the same amount of yarrow leaves and tansy. The resulting mixture is poured with 500 ml of boiled water. Next, you need to prepare the infusion in a water bath for 15 minutes. Drink on an empty stomach a quarter cup. The course is a week. This infusion should not be used to treat helminthiasis in children under 12 years of age.
Carrot juice, simple and famous for its beneficial properties, is a real threat to small worms. To remove helminths from the body, 1 tbsp is enough. l. drink 2 times a day.
Coconut is not just a pleasant dessert. It also helps to remove parasites, especially from the child's body. Coconut milk and shavings are used for this. All this can be bought separately in the store, but it is still better to buy a coconut and, having removed the milk from it, grate the pulp. Mix both ingredients. You need to drink 3 times a day for 1 tsp. before meals. Adults may increase the dosage. The course of treatment is 7 days. After 2 weeks you need to repeat the course. You can store this medicine in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
A significant disadvantage of treatment with folk recipes is the difficulty of preparing infusions. Incorrect proportions or dosage may not be fatal for worms, but simply uncomfortable. In this regard, the parasites will leave their habitat, choosing another shelter in your body. After all, through the bloodstream, helminths can penetrate anywhere. Therefore, you should be especially careful and approach the issue with all seriousness.
Diet in the treatment of helminthiasis
The composition of complex therapy should also include nutrition correction. First of all, you should unload the already depleted liver by reducing the intake of fatty and heavy foods. Nutritionists recommend paying special attention to vegetarian cuisine, so you should increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. It is very useful to consume coconuts and walnuts every day. As mentioned above, they effectively help remove parasites. The important point is to reduce portions of what you eat and increase the number of meals (at least 5-6 per day).
Latest Methods
It is very popular to remove helminths from the body through the use of antihelminthic devices of various actions.
Antiparasitic devices are devices that produce an electromagnetic field of a certain frequency, uncomfortable for the life of worms. For this reason, the parasites leave the body.
However, such devices have significant drawbacks. They affect only adult parasites. Helminth cysts and larvae are indifferent to the effects of devices and safely continue their lives in the human body. Moreover, exposure to an electromagnetic field adversely affects blood cells.
Another popular type of deworming has become ion detoxification of the body. The essence of this method is to remove toxins accumulated from the stay of worms. Differently charged particles remove toxic substances from human tissues without damaging cells. During the detox procedure, a person lowers his legs into a container with a solution. The ions of this agent, under the influence of low-frequency current, unite and remove all impurities from the body. In this case, the water becomes dirty and has a bad smell. With each new procedure, the color of the liquid becomes lighter. This method has a positive effect on the body's immunity as a whole.
There is another way to get rid of worms. The principle of its action is to change the living conditions of parasites. The habitat is actively saturated with oxygen, which adversely affects the existence of parasites, and the worms leave the human body. Another positive effect of this method is the saturation of tissues and cells with oxygen.
The most modern method of getting rid of parasites is ozonation. Ozone therapy can be of the following types:
- ozone-rich water and herbal teas;
- enemas from olive oil with ozone;
- solutions enriched with ozone and intended for intravenous use;
- ozone-oxygen mixture for introduction into the rectum.
The method works in this way: ozone makes it impossible for parasites to breathe. In this regard, the worms die and are brought out naturally.
If you become a carrier of helminths, proper treatment will not only help to remove them, but also increase immunity, save you from many chronic diseases. Thus, you can improve your body and improve the quality of life in general.
