Even in our sanitary, hygienic and antibiotic ridden environment, you may have uninvited guests. Not the human kind, but uninvited guests known as parasites and, they can be dangerous, unhealthy and cause fat and weight gain. You have a high probability or harboring these parasites: bacteria, worms, fungii, and viruses; in your bowel tract. These parasites cause disease, weight gain, and even dis-figurement as they enjoy the free meals you provide them. Did you know that some roundworms can lay 25,000 eggs every day? A very high percentage of obese people provide a home for these harmful organisms.
There are so many varieties of parasites, its almost impossible to avoid all of them: pinworms, hookworms, roundworms, trichinella, giardia, flukes, candida (a yeast), e-coli and many more. You are the ideal meal ticket. Your colon provides the ideal environment for hosting these little critters: warmth, ample food (you) and little resistance to their presence. They love you! Typically, you do not notice their colony growth until it causes symptoms of their presence: itchy anal area, constipation, fat and weight gain, abdominal pain, chronic fatique, bulging belly and excess gas. Now, you begin to investigate the cause of these common, but “unusual to you” symptoms.
Parasites are alien, gross and ugly. Can you imagine the reaction of the woman who was shown a 30 long tapeworm that the doctor had just removed from her intestine? Or, consider the reaction of a man in his twenties when the doctor pulled out a handful of roundworms 9-12 long out of his intestines still wiggling. Many doctors will testify that these examples are not unusual. If you can stand to look, you can see parasites in action in the videos shown on the authors site URL below.
Your friend, the parasite, typically finds its way into your stomach through the ingestion of raw or under cooked pork, beef, or fish. They may also be in contaminated water or other liquid or on dirty hands. A lot of parasites enter your body un-noticed in your food hidden in teeny, tiny egg cases. The eggs pass through your stomach, hatch in your colon, and infect your whole bowel tract.
Fat and weight gain occurs over time as your body tries to protect you from the parasitic waste and other “junk” (defined below) inhabiting your colon. Parasitic waste (toxic) and “Junk” forms a plaque on your intestinal walls effectively shutting off the flow of nutrients through the intestinal walls. As the toxic plaque builds up on the colon and intestinal walls, the body lays down a barrier layer of fat, to prevent the spreading of poisons to the rest of your body.
Plaque buildup on intestinal walls is a relatively new phenomena in the world of medicine and human anatomy. Much of our food, these days, is “processed”. That means we have added synthetic fillers, shelf life preservatives, additives, dyes, and un-natural chemicals to enhance foods we eat today. Our food bears little nutritional resemblance to that food which nourished our ancestors. Our colons and immune system get weaker, but our parasite pets thrive on our processed food. As they thrive, the waste (toxins) and “junk” in our colons buildup and form a plaque lining our bowel tract. The body reacts by laying down a protective fat barrier to keep the poisons from our intestinal tract from making us sick. Thereby, we enter into a cycle of plaquing and barrier fat deposition leading to obesity.
Obesity is rampant in America today. Research data indicates a very high proportion of overweight and obese people do have some form of parasitic infection. The purpose of this article is to create an awareness that parasitic infestations of your bowel system can cause weight gain. In fact, maintaining your colon health could lead to significant fat and weight loss. A healthy colon does not have parasites.
Becoming “parasite aware” is not a one time exercise. It should part of our health planning program and given the same emphasis as dental, cariovascular, or immune health. We have the tools, medicines and diagnostic procedures to easily screen for parasites. Probably, a regular colon and parasite cleanse should be in our health plan too. Weight gain is a tip-off to a possible parasite infestation. Our job is to monitor weight gain and fat accumulation consistently over time. We know what our “healthy weight” should be. Screen for the increase in body weight, it may be a parasite infestation. That is our “fat loss secret”.
