Parasites represent the largest population of living organisms on earth. There are so many varieties of them that even modern science has trouble naming their exact number. People have very different attitudes towards them. Some believe that everything is balanced in nature and that these creatures have a right to life. Others, mostly parasitologists, treat them as the name suggests - like pests that live and feed on someone else's body.
The vital activity of parasites, be they helminths, microscopic organisms or insect larvae living in the human body, leads to damage to internal organs. Over time, they stop functioning normally, and the parasitic invasion spreads throughout the body, often resulting in the death of a person. Therefore, most experts consider the problem of cleansing the body to be urgent.
Symptoms of parasitic invasion
Parasites in the human body may not manifest themselves for a long time, but under favorable conditions they will begin to multiply rapidly and affect the health of infected people. A person will suffer not only from the helminths themselves, but also from the toxins they give off as waste.
It is quite difficult to determine on your own whether the presence of helminths or other parasites in your body is present, so any diagnosis should be made by a doctor on the basis of blood, feces and tests. urine and other studies. But you can suspect a parasite invasion by the following signs:
- unreasonable irritability;
- digestive disorders;
- decreased appetite;
- severe fatigue;
- anemia.
The symptoms are not specific, they are common to many other diseases. But if they are all pronounced, and a person before its onset was in potentially dangerous situations (travel to tropical countries, contact with homeless animals, drinking water from unverified sources), the risk of infestationparasitic is very high. Therefore, if more than one of the listed factors coincide, it is recommended to consult a doctor and be tested for the presence of parasites.
Medicinal cleansing of the body against parasites
Treatment can only be started after receiving the test results and reviewing the patient's history.
Since most antiparasitic drugs have toxic effects on the liver and kidneys, they should only be used under medical supervision. It is also necessary to select drugs with medical help, taking into account the type of parasites and the general condition of infected people. What is suitable for getting rid of helminths in one case may be unnecessary in another.
The principle of action of antiparasitic drugs
The pharmacological action of drugs on parasitic worms is directed to biochemical processes in their tissues and biological structures. As a rule, most of them have a nervous effect, which is expressed in different ways:
- By blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle cells of helminths, as a result of which they develop a state of permanent paralysis. In this state, helminths are excreted from the body along with the feces.
- Impaired absorption of glucose into the parasite's cells, resulting in its death.
- Disruption of the activity of the intestinal canal of parasites.
There are combination drugs that disrupt the bioprocesses of helminth cells and paralyze them.
How to properly cleanse the body of worms
The use of anthelmintics for other purposes (for example, to get rid of another type of worm or for prophylactic purposes) or non-compliance with dosages can lead to serious complications.
- If you try to get rid of the worms with insufficiently effective doses, the worms will not leave the body, but will begin to migrate through it, infecting other previously intact organs and complicating the patient's condition.
- Cleansing parasites with insufficient doses of anthelmintic agents can lead to a false impression of an effect (if the depressant effect of the drug only on the laying of helminth eggs, the tests will show a negative result), but the parasitic activity will not stop.
- Overdose may increase the toxicity of anthelmintic drugs, and the person will have additional liver or kidney problems while taking them.
So, before you start to cleanse the body from parasites, you should undergo a thorough examination and make the selection of the most suitable drugs.
Pest control cleaning with medication
When a person learns of the presence of parasites in their body, they usually experience a shock and seek to learn how to eliminate the worms from the body as quickly as possible. But you need to hurry with only one thing - immediately consult a doctor, undergo an additional examination to clarify the type of helminthiasis and select the appropriate treatment regimen.
The fight against ascariasis, enterobiosis (pinworms) and other helminthiasis of roundworms requires the use of certain drugs prescribed by a specialist.
Treatment of enterobiosis
The fight against pinworms, the infection called enterobiosis, requires special attention.
These parasites can crawl out of the anus at night and release microscopic eggs in large quantities outside the human body.
Thus, their eggs can deposit on the underwear and hands of a sleeping person during involuntary scratching, especially under the fingernails. And then they can spread all over the house, settling with dust on upholstered furniture, curtains, walls, doorknobs and children's toys. They retain their viability for several years and can cause infections in a large number of people. Therefore, in the house where the person infected with pinworm lives, special precautions should be taken:
- Pest control body cleansing should be performed for all family members and people in the immediate environment.
- A thorough wet cleaning of the house is necessary every day. First, you need to collect dust from floors and furniture with a vacuum cleaner, then wash the floor with laundry soap (it is more effective at cleaning worms than household chemicals, even with chlorine).
- After cleaning, wash your hands with laundry soap.
- Underwear and bedding should be washed in the hottest water possible and should be ironed.
- Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet and before eating.
- Cut children's fingernails short, put them to sleep in tight panties or pajamas that need to be washed every day.
Cleanse the body of parasites at home
Often people infected with helminths are interested in the question of whether it is possible to quickly get rid of parasites at home, and how to remove parasites from the human body at home.
It should be borne in mind that the effectiveness of the action of many folk remedies that promise rapid elimination of parasites has never been scientifically studied by anyone, although many drugs guarantee theparasite elimination use natural ingredients - herbal remedies.
The proposed recipes for decoctions or herbal infusions may contain insufficient or excessive amounts of the active ingredient, therefore their use alone is extremely dangerous and can lead to the complications described above. To determine the dosage and duration of such treatment, a medical consultation is necessary.
How to cleanse the body - principles of treatment
Complete anthelmintic cleansing of the body should be based on the following principles:
- Destroy helminths with an anthelmintic agent.
- Eliminate dead or paralyzed parasites from the intestines with laxatives or a cleansing enema.
- In order to avoid allergic manifestations, antihistamines should be taken during cleansing.
- In severe cases, accompanied by damage to internal organs, restorative treatment is necessary (for example, taking hepatoprotectants for liver damage). It is also necessary to cleanse oneself of toxins and toxins resulting from the activity of parasites.
- To normalize the functions of the whole organism, it is necessary to observe a complete and balanced diet, which excludes foods that are harmful to the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.
The most common ways to get rid of parasites
Before performing antiparasitic cleansing of the body, it is strongly recommended to consult a doctor about contraindications. In addition, patients often have individual intolerance to certain folk remedies.
- Many people consider the easiest but effective way to use spicy foods - garlic, onions, mustard, pepper. Despite the apparent plausibility of this method, it is dangerous to clean it with this method - in large quantities, burning food can damage the intestinal mucosa.
- There is a version about the benefits of dry fasting - supposedly deprived of nutrition, the worms literally leave the body on the third or fifth day. But this is a mistaken opinion: for example, tapeworms are able to live for months without food from the outside, contenting themselves with fragments of their own body. For their viability, it is enough that their heads and necks survive, and the rest of the body can be “eaten” and restored again. Are not susceptible to starvation and parasites that live in a person's blood, eyes, brain and spinal cord, genitourinary system, heart or creating cysts in these organs.
- Cleaning with soda or hydrogen peroxide, actively promoted as a technique by a famous teacher, is one of the few methods that deserve attention, but subject to medical observation for the well-being of the patient. Both methods involve a gradual increase in dosage from the minimum initial doses to the maximum permissible: soda - from the tip of a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon, hydrogen peroxide - in 1 drop of a 3% solutiondiluted in 50 ml of mineral or distilled water, up to 30 drops per day for 3 weeks. But the course must be prescribed by the attending physician. The technique is ineffective against parasite eggs and larvae, as well as some varieties of adults.
In order to get rid of the problem quickly, you should not risk resorting to extreme cleaning methods and find out how you can further destroy unwanted guests in the body. Such zeal can lead to the destruction of not only helminths, but also internal organs that are not designed for forced therapy with tansy, wormwood and other medicinal herbs.
Supporters of natural treatment can consult a doctor on how to get rid of parasites with natural pharmaceutical preparations, purified from toxic impurities.
