More than 400 species of worms are known to inhabit animals and humans.The infections they cause are often named by the type of worm.
The most common parasitic diseases include: ascariasis, pinwormiasis, opiodiasis, hookworm disease, cysticercosis, chiropodiasis, hydatid disease, strongyloidiasis, whipworm disease, taeniasis, hymenometasis, dilofilariasis, and trichinellosis.Most often, worms are found in the intestines, but they can also colonize other organs and tissues - liver, muscles, lungs, eyes, brain, etc.
Symptoms of intestinal parasites in humans
The intestines are a favorite habitat for parasites.Symptoms of parasites, especially in the initial stages and/or when the intensity of the infection is low, may be mild or disappear completely.The most obvious symptoms are often mistaken for other illnesses.
Worms often cause chronic diseases of the digestive system that can occur even in the absence of helminth infection.These are enterocolitis, pancreatitis, gastritis, cholecystitis.Helminthiasis often leads to serious complications, leading to death.
Main symptoms of intestinal helminths:
- Gas, constipation, diarrhea.These gastrointestinal disorders are caused by metabolites released by the worms and physical effects on the digestive tract.They are usually chronic and last for several years.
- Muscle and joint pain.They are primarily caused by the migration of adults and larvae from one tissue and organ to another.In this case, the latter becomes injured, inflamed and reacts with the immune response, causing pain.
- allergic reaction.Allergies can manifest themselves in different ways - eczema, rashes similar to hives, the appearance of papillomas and acne.The cause is irritation and damage to the intestinal wall by the worms, and small particles of abdominal contents entering the bloodstream through damaged blood vessels.
- Occasionally have a strong feeling of hunger.Caused by a lack of nutrients absorbed by the worms and a drop in blood sugar levels.
- The weight fluctuates in one direction or another.Weight loss can be caused by nutritional deficiencies and digestive disorders.Excess weight is caused by constant hunger and frequent large meals.
- Neurosis and mental disorders.Their explanation is that the body is poisoned by the waste products of the worms.Neuroticism and psychotic disorders manifest themselves as feelings of restlessness, anxiety, depression, and persistent irritability.
- Grind your teeth while sleeping.This is a very classic sign that worms are present in the body.
- Decreased immunity.It manifests itself in bacterial imbalance, frequent colds, and the appearance of tumors, including malignant tumors.
Important!Pay attention to your appearance.
People who have been infected with worms for a long time may not be aware of the invasion.However, if you're careful, you can notice the signs of it even if it's mildly severe.When suffering from helminthes, changes in appearance are inevitable due to the disruption of the entire body's functions.
in particular:
- Skin becomes rough;
- Peeling of nails;
- the appearance of acne, freckles, and age spots;
- Seborrhea occurs.
The presence of all these signs indicates that the worms have caused severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract and are worsening the functioning of the entire body.
Intestinal worm infections cause symptoms similar to those of many serious illnesses—pneumonia, pancreatitis, acute appendicitis.Characteristic symptoms of viral infection appear, such as tonsillitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, etc.
Most parasites cause mild or moderate mental disorders.Continuous states of stress and stimulation can trigger anxiety, restlessness, and depression.Patients may experience constant fatigue, poor sleep quality, and grind their teeth while sleeping.
The most serious manifestations of helminthiasis include immune disorders, leading to frequent respiratory illnesses and malignancies.All of these clearly indicate disease progression.
What else happens to the body due to helminthiasis?
Symptoms of small intestinal parasites appear in response to helminth activity.
Worms secrete anti-enzymes – substances that prevent their digestion.This can lead to indigestion, which can lead to reduced nutrient absorption, diarrhea, and anemia.Especially with intestinal helminths, fatty acids are poorly absorbed.
The small intestine is a traditional locus for worms, particularly ubiquitous parasites such as pinworms and roundworms.
The first colonizes first the lower part of the small intestine and then the large intestine.
important.Adult roundworms can block the airways and cause suffocation.They may also block the small intestine, bile ducts, and gallbladder.This can lead to constipation, obstructive jaundice, severe pain in the ribs, vomiting and the presence of worms in the rejected mass.
In ascariasis, the worms invade the liver, bile ducts, and abdominal cavity and can cause abscesses.This is an extremely serious complication that is life-threatening and has the potential to break through the abdominal cavity and progress to peritonitis.
Clean with baking soda
People are always interested in the possibility of using folk remedies to eliminate diseases at home.This is convenient because any treatment procedure can be performed with maximum comfort without wasting time in a trip to the clinic.
Baking soda is one of the popular folk remedies for fighting worms.It turns out that in addition to its laxative and cleansing properties, sodium bicarbonate is also destructive to worms.Experimental doctors developed their own formulas using soda to treat various ailments, including helminthes.
Just a note.Baking soda is an alkali.Healthy blood is alkaline.Over the years, the human body becomes acidic, leading to a variety of diseases, including cancer.
When symptoms of parasites appear, cleaning with sparkling water can help eliminate them quickly.Especially those that are located, at least temporarily, in the large intestine.Cleaning parasites with a soda solution will remove the adult worms and their larvae.This removes approximately 70% of the toxins and waste products secreted by the worms.
If the entire gastrointestinal tract (top to bottom) is exposed to soda, its anti-worming effect is enhanced.Apparently, the upper and middle parts of the gastrointestinal tract can only be treated with oral soda, that is, drinking a soda solution.Enemas can be used to affect the lower area.
Pinworms, roundworms, tapeworms, Siberian flukes, eels, fasciolopsis, tapeworms, and some other parasites react violently to soda therapy.
soda enema
The activity is carried out in 3 stages.
Stage one.Preparing Soda Enema
The procedure is performed using a conventional water-salt enema.The purpose of this procedure is to cleanse the body and ensure that the soda solution fully contacts the intestinal walls and parasites.
Take 1…2 liters (depending on patient size) of boiling water.It contains 1…2 tbsp.Lake salt.It is needed to prevent the enema solution from being absorbed by the intestinal wall.
Filling with water is most convenient using an Esmarch mug.The tip should be lubricated with vegetable oil or petroleum jelly.It is recommended to keep the water inside for 5...10 minutes.It is recommended to "breathe through your stomach".Those who don't know what it is can talk to someone who does yoga or breathing exercises."Abdominal breathing" allows you to massage the organ and ensure that the solution penetrates all its bends.After emptying, enter the second stage.
The second stage.soda enema
Add 1 s to 0.8...1 liter of boiled, cooled water.lake soda water, stir and heat the solution to 38...40°C.Afterwards they administered enemas.The soda solution should be left in the room for about 30 minutes.Then go to the toilet.
attention.During this stage, mild abdominal pain may occur.This is not dangerous and indicates that the worms are refusing to be cleared from the intestines and are trying to linger on the intestinal walls.
The third stage.Secondary cleansing enema
It's done exactly the same way as the first one.To make it more efficient, you can add a little lemon juice and salt.
All three stages of cleaning 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 on soda water cleaning:
- The water should not be cold or hot.For cleansing enemas (stages 1 and 3) the temperature should be in the range 20…25°C and for soda enemas (stage 2) the temperature should be in the range 38…40°C.
- Water should be introduced gradually to avoid discomfort or pain.
It is not recommended to use soda water for cleaning in the following situations:
- If a person follows a salt-free diet.Since soda removes salt from the body, severe deficiencies may occur, which is undesirable.
- If you have a personal intolerance to soda.
- If you are taking calcium supplements or calcium-rich foods.In this case, you need to temporarily stop taking calcium supplements.
- Gastric juice has low acidity.When soda is taken orally, the acidity is further reduced, adversely affecting food digestion.Ulcers may even occur.
If your body has an adverse reaction to soda, you will need to reduce the concentration of the solution or stop cleaning for a while.Maybe the next surgery will be more successful.
If cleaning with baking soda doesn't work, you should consult your doctor so he can prescribe an alternative treatment.
Gut localization of worms is generally easier to treat than some other locations, such as the liver or brain.There may even be cases of self-healing.However, you need to know that some intestinal worm infections can produce complications that are very dangerous and life-threatening.
Therefore, you cannot rely solely on physical strength.If you develop any symptoms indicating the presence of worms in your body, you should contact a parasitologist immediately.Only he can say whether there is cause for alarm or whether no danger is occurring.
