Health Tip: Parasites

An enormous range of health issues can be traced to one pesky cause: intestinal parasites. Many of these are already living in our gut. The trouble happens when the conditions arise for them to flourish.

Some Signs of Intestinal Parasites:

• constipation/diarrhea/gas and bloating

• cravings, especially sugar

• itching, irritation, swelling at nose, ears, eyes, anus

• hives, rashes, eczema

• fuzzy thinking, headaches, chronic fatigue

• blisters in mouth, acne, circles under eyes

• development of food allergies

Tips from Kitchen Stewardship:

Parasite cleanse: Cut out processed sugar, eat a diet rich in leafy greens, vegetables, and fruit. For 2 weeks, take 2 garlic, oregano, black walnut or neem oil capsules with each meal. Drink one teaspoon diatomaceous earth morning and night. You can include the above herbs/earth in enemas to this regime. There are prepared formulas you can purchase as well. If you think you may have parasites, it is important to do your own research. Happy cleansing!
