More than 400 species of worms are known to parasitize animals and humans.The infections they cause are often referred to by the type of helminth.
The most common types of parasites include: roundworms, helminths, opisthorchiasis, hookworms, hydatid disease, teniarinchz disease, echinococcosis, strongyloidiasis, bristleworm disease, taenheim disease, hymenospermia, diphtheria, trichinosis.Usually, helminths are localized in the intestines, but they can also invade other organs and tissues - liver, muscles, lungs, eyes, brain and others.
Symptoms of parasites in the human intestine
The intestine is the most preferred location for parasites.Symptoms of the parasite, especially in the early stages and/or with low intensity of infection, may be slightly present or completely absent.And the most obvious manifestations are often confused with manifestations of other diseases.
Worms often cause chronic diseases of the digestive system, which can occur even in the absence of helminths.These are enteritis, pancreatitis, gastritis, cholecystitis.Helminth disease often causes serious complications leading to death.
Main symptoms of intestinal helminths:
- Bloating, constipation, diarrhea.These digestive disorders arise because helminths release metabolic products and physically impact the digestive tract.They are often chronic and appear over many years.
- Pain in muscles and joints.They are caused primarily by migration of adults and larvae from one tissue and organ to another.In this case, the posterior body is injured, becomes inflamed and reacts with immune responses, leading to pain.
- Allergic reactions.Allergies can manifest themselves in different ways - eczema, rashes similar to hives, papillomas and acne.Their cause is the irritation and damage of the intestinal wall by helminths as well as the penetration of small particles in the abdomen into the blood through damaged vessels.
- Occasionally there is a feeling of intense hunger.The cause is a lack of nutrients absorbed by helminths and a decrease in blood sugar levels.
- Weight fluctuation in one direction or the other.Weight loss can be caused by nutrient deficiencies and digestive disorders.Excess weight is caused by a constant feeling of hunger and frequent overeating.
- Nervous and mental disorders.They are explained by the body being poisoned by helminth waste products.Nervous and mental disorders are manifested by feelings of restlessness and anxiety, depression and frequent irritability.
- Grinding teeth when sleeping.It is a very specific sign showing the presence of helminths in the body.
- Reduced immunity.It manifests itself in the form of dysbacteriosis, frequent colds and the appearance of tumors, including melanoma.
Important!Pay attention to your appearance.
People infected with helminths for a long time may not be aware of the worm invasion.However, if you are careful, its signs can be noticed even with mild severity.With helminthiasis, the appearance will certainly change due to disruption in the functioning of the entire body.
Special:
- skin becomes rough;
- nail peeling;
- acne, freckles and age spots appear;
- sebum occurs.
The appearance of all these signs indicates that helminths have caused significant damage to the digestive tract and impaired functioning of the entire body.
Intestinal helminth infections cause symptoms similar to the manifestations of many serious diseases - pneumonia, pancreatitis, acute appendicitis.Characteristic symptoms of viral infections such as tonsillitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis and polyps in the nasal cavity occur.
Most parasites cause mild or moderate mental disorders.A constant state of stress and discomfort causes anxiety, restlessness, and depression.Patients are often tired, do not sleep well, and grind their teeth when sleeping.
The most serious manifestations of helminthiasis include immune disorders, leading to frequent respiratory diseases and malignant tumors.All this clearly indicates progression of the disease.
What else happens to the body due to helminthiasis?
Symptoms of parasites in the small intestine appear in response to the following activity of the worms.
Helminths secrete anti-enzymes - substances that prevent their digestion.This causes digestive disorders and results in reduced nutrient absorption, diarrhea and anemia.In particular, with intestinal helminths, fatty acids are poorly absorbed.
The small intestine is the traditional habitat of worms, especially common parasites such as pinworms and roundworms.
First deposited in the lower part of the small intestine, then invades the large intestine.
Important.Adult roundworms can block the airway and cause suffocation.They can also block the small intestine, bile duct, and gallbladder.This leads to constipation, obstructive jaundice, severe pain in the hypogastric region, vomiting with the appearance of worms in the excreted mass.
With ascariasis, penetration of worms into the liver, bile ducts and abdominal cavity can lead to abscesses.This is an extremely serious, life-threatening complication, capable of penetrating the abdominal cavity leading to peritonitis.
Clean with baking soda
People are always interested in the possibility of curing illness with folk remedies at home.This is very convenient because any treatment procedure can be performed in the most comfortable way without wasting time going to the clinic.
One of the popular folk remedies to fight helminths is baking soda.It turns out that, in addition to its laxative and cleansing effects, sodium bicarbonate also kills helminths.Experimental doctors have developed their own recipes for using soda to treat various diseases, including helminthiasis.
Just a note.Baking soda is an alkaline substance.Healthy blood is alkaline.Over the years, the human body becomes acidic, leading to many diseases, including cancer.
When symptoms of parasites appear, cleaning with soda helps quickly resolve helminths.Especially those that are at least temporarily located in the large intestine.Cleaning parasites with a soda solution allows you to remove adult worms and their larvae.This removes about 70% of the toxins and waste produced by the helminths.
The anthelmintic effect of soda increases if the entire digestive tract comes into contact with it - from top to bottom.It is clear that the upper and middle parts of the digestive tract can only be treated with soda orally, that is, drinking a soda solution.The lower areas can be affected using an enema.
Pinworms, roundworms, tapeworms, Siberian tapeworms, eels, liver flukes, tapeworms and some other parasites react strongly to soda therapy.
Soda enema machine
The event is organized in 3 phases.
Stage 1. Preparation for soda enema
This operation is performed using a regular saline-water enema.The purpose of the procedure is to cleanse the body and ensure full access of the soda solution to the intestinal wall and parasites.
Take 1...2 liters (depending on the patient's condition) of boiled water.It contains 1…2 tbsp.I.table salt.It is necessary to prevent absorption of the enema solution into the intestinal wall.
It is most convenient to introduce water using an Esmarch cup.The tip should be lubricated with vegetable oil or Vaseline.Water should be kept inside for 5...10 minutes.You should "breathe through your belly".People who don't know what it is can talk to people who practice yoga or breathing exercises.“Abdominal breathing” allows you to massage the organs and ensure that the solution penetrates into every corner of it.After emptying, proceed to the second stage.
stage 2. soda enema
Add from 1 second to 0.8...1 liter of cooled boiled water.I.soda, stir well and heat the solution to a temperature of 38...40°C.Then they gave an enema.The soda solution should be kept inside for about 30 minutes.Then go to the bathroom.
Attention.During this period, mild abdominal pain may occur.This is not dangerous and indicates that the helminth resists removal from the intestine, trying to stay on its walls.
3rd stage. Second cleansing enema
It is done exactly like the first time.To increase effectiveness, you can add a little lemon juice along with salt.
All three cleaning stages must be repeated 8…10 times a day.The following cleaning procedures can be performed the next day or on a day off.
Some notes when cleaning with soda:
- The water should not be cold or hot.For cleansing enema (phase 1 and 3) the temperature should be within the range 20…25°C, for soda enema (phase 2) – 38…40°C.
- Water should be added gradually to avoid discomfort or pain.
You should not clean with soda in the following cases:
- If a person is on a salt-free diet.Since soda removes salt from the body, a severe salt deficiency can occur, which is undesirable.
- If you have individual intolerance to soda.
- If you are taking calcium supplements or calcium-rich foods.In this case, you need to temporarily stop taking calcium.
- With low acidity of gastric juice.When drinking soda, the acidity will decrease even more, which will negatively affect the digestion of food.Ulcers may even occur.
If any negative reaction of the body to soda occurs, you need to reduce the concentration of the solution or stop cleaning for a while.Perhaps a procedure at another time would be more successful.
If cleaning with baking soda doesn't work, you should consult your doctor for alternative treatments.
Locating helminths in the intestinal tract compared to some other types, such as the liver or brain, is often easier to treat.There may even be cases of self-healing.However, you need to know that some intestinal helminth infections have very dangerous and life-threatening complications.
Therefore, you cannot rely only on your body's strength.If you have any symptoms indicating the presence of helminths in the body, you should immediately contact a parasitologist.Only he can say whether there is any reason for alarm, or whether nothing dangerous has happened.
