Bios Slim Health - Parasites

I am a huge advocate of cleansing the body of parasites and debris that impair our ability to enjoy vibrant health. There is lots of evidence that this is a very important aspect of recovering or avoiding some of the major degenerative and chronic conditions that we in society face every day. There are more than 1.5 million sites on the internet discussing the scourge of parasites and how you can combat parasites. Many medical institutions are now very aware of the damage these can cause; even the CDC has an area on their website talking about parasites. Some Parasite infections are well known to be life threatening and all Parasite Infections can and do threaten your sense of wellbeing and vibrancy of health. Ignoring the very high likelihood of you be infected with one or more kinds of parasites because of our natural unease of thinking or wanting to talk about these infestations could cause unwanted or unnecessary far-reaching problems with your health in the future.

There are more than 1,270 types of parasites a human could contract; however there are only few that appear to be the most common in North America.

Types of Parasites

Parasites include an amazing cast of characters that can end up taking residence in our bodies. There are four different groups to choose from: roundworms, single celled protozoa, tapeworms and flukes.

Roundworms exist worldwide, especially in warmer climates. 25% of the world's population may be infected with roundworms (which can reach the size of pencils) and include hookworms, whipworms, pinworms and trichinae. Hookworms migrate down the digestive tract where they attach to intestinal walls and ingest blood. The victim may experience nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, anemia and listlessness. Whipworms are small, about 3 to 5 centimeters long, and infect the large intestine. Pinworms are the most common roundworm in the US and inhabit mostly crowded areas such as schools, day care centers and mental hospitals. They can be as contagious as the flu and usually infect several members of one family. Trichinae are tiny roundworms found in the muscle of infected animals, usually pigs, that cause trichinosis, a disease characterized by intestinal disorders, fever, muscular swelling, pain and insomnia. If you eat pork, be careful since even a small uncooked portion can lead to infection. Always cook pork until it's well done. Minuscule, single celled protozoa permeate our environment and harm more people worldwide than any other parasite. Protozoa form cysts, or a resting stage, where they become resistant to temperature extremes, chemicals and drying. Humans can easily ingest these small cysts and many of us have been exposed. Yet, our immune systems come to the rescue and eliminate the cysts, keeping them under control. Individuals with a weakened immune system due to stress or illness, however, may experience outbreaks curable with certain herbs. Common throughout the world, tapeworms are long and ribbon-like. Humans can ingest tapeworm larvae by eating raw or under cooked beef, pork and fish or from coming in contact with infected animals or contaminated grains. Tapeworms live in our intestines and absorb nutrients through their skin. People with tapeworm infections feel dizzy, toxic, have unclear thinking, high and low blood sugar levels, hunger pains, poor digestion and allergies. The various species of flukes -- tiny flat worms that look like odd-shaped pancakes -- include blood flukes, fish flukes, intestinal flukes, liver flukes, lung flukes, lymph flukes and pancreatic flukes. Humans can become infected by eating raw or under cooked seafood, eating infected vegetation like water chestnuts or watercress or drinking or wading in infected water. Once inside the body, flukes migrate to various organs and may cause liver swelling, jaundice, weakened lungs and blood clots. http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C171466.html

Our Paraway/Clearstart Pack contains 3 products.

The first is the Paraway. It is a formulation of natural herbs that have demonstrated the efficacy of making the body an inhospitable host for the parasites to survive. It is formulated to help rid the body of these unwanted pests in a safe, natural manner. We want the body to discharge the parasites while they are still alive rather than killing them and allowing them to decompose and leave waste in our system.

Parasite Cleanser----CDN-US-- Green black walnut hulls powder, pumpkin seed powder, knotweed extract, clove flower bud powder, sage leaf powder, gentian root powder, hyssop leaf powder, fenugreek seed powder, chamomile flower extract, black pepper fruit powder, peppermint leaf powder, thyme leaf powder, fennel seed powder, garlic powder and chlorophyll in a gelatin capsule. This formula when taken with a bowel-cleansing program is effective in eliminating microscopic organisms, larger parasites known as Nematoda, which are visible to the eye and worms including tapeworms from the body. It actually makes the body an inhospitable host and causes the parasites to evacuate the digestive tract and other involved organs. It is the first part of any cleanses and detox program and is essential to establish a good foundation for health. The first introduction to this program should last a minimum of 3 months then be repeated a couple times a year for a 30-60 day cleanse. Some conditions parasite infection may contribute to are, acne rosacea, migraines, heart disease, eczema, seizures, schizophrenia, depression, asthma, diabetes, lupus, MS, Alzheimer and cancer. These parasites are believed to use valuable nutrients to survive, impair absorption of nutrients, create toxic waste and cause a suppression of the immune system thereby allowing degenerative diseases to begin.

The second product is Lifiber. It is a combination of soluable and insoluble fiber with 28 companion herbs designed to work like a broom and sweep debris from the digestive tract while cleansing, healing and soothing the delicate tissue which comprises this part of the body.

Lifiber; Complex Fiber and Herbal Blend---composition: Psyllium husk, fructose, maltodextrin, fructooligosaccharide, caa inhem extract, natural orange flavour, hibiscus flower, natural banana flavour, grapefruit pectin, guar gum, liquorice root, alfalfa, black walnut hulls, buchu leaf, burdock root, cape aloe powder, cayenne fruit, chickweed, cinnamon bark, clove seeds, corn silk, dandelion root, Echinacea, fenugreek seed, garlic, ginger root, marshmallow root, papaya fruit, peppermint leaf, pumpkin seed, red raspberry leaf, rhubarb root, slippery elm bark and yucca root.

This combination acts like a broom in the intestinal tract sweeping undigested and dehydrated waste from the walls of the intestines. The companion supplements aid in soothing and healing an irritated digestive tract, helping to rebuild friendly bacteria and Detoxing the body. All major recognized organizations today such as the Cancer Society, Diabetic Association, Heart Association agree we need a minimum of 25-35 grams of fiber in our diets. The national averages range between 8 and 15 grams daily. Three tablespoons of this fiber blend would add an additional 15 grams to your total dietary fiber requirements and move you closer to the recommended fiber content in your daily diet. A diet high in dietary fiber would lower risks for conditions such as heart disease, cancer, digestive disorders and obesity. It will help regulate your blood pressure, serum cholesterols, and blood glucose levels, promote regularity and contribute to daily bowel cleansing. When starting this fiber supplement; as with any fiber addition to your diet; start slow and work up over several weeks to optimal fiber intake.

The last component is the Nature's Tea and or in Canada the Classic Natural Tea. This encourages cleansing, faster ‘transit' (the pusher) time for food and fiber to move through the digestive tract and rinse the entire system.

Senna is used for it's laxative effects on chronic constipation and irregularity. It has been recommended for people who need to increase their frequency of bowel movements. This combination of herbs supports the urinary system helping to reduce fluid retention and as side benefit many people find increased energy levels as bowel toxins are eliminated. This tea in combination of a good fiber supplement will assist the body to meet the correct elimination levels by encouraging daily bowel elimination. Gripping can be avoided by not over steeping the tea bag and by combining with high fiber diet and supplementing daily with a fiber.

NOTE; it is not recommended for people with ragweed sensitivity.

We also know that our digestive systems are under constant attack from foods, chemicals and parasites that actually destroy our natural ‘friendly' bacteria --- Intestinal Flora. We recommend that along with the Paraway/Clearstart Pack you consider using Probionics to help repopulate the Digestive System with this life giving and necessary Flora.

Probiotics---Probiotic blend (25 billion CFU)[Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, Bifidobacterium longum, B. bifidum] and rice maltodextrin. Proper intestinal flora balance is essential for efficient digestion and essential for effective digestion and overall health. Intestinal floras are destroyed by antibiotic medications and content in our food or water. Improper flora balance will allow for overgrowth of candida in our digestive tract and other parts of our body and contribute to auto-intoxication and degenerative diseases such as arthritis, allergies, skin conditions, lethargy, mental fog, indigestion, gas and bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, decreased immune function, poor nutrient absorption, poor enzyme function, susceptibility to viral and bacterial infections and abdominal pain, when conditions like colitis and crohns are present, balanced intestinal flora is absent. Flora should be replenished at the end of any detox or cleansing program and periodically throughout the year.

Other products that are of great benefit while doing a cleanse /detox are LiverEssentials and MSM. Using the will help the body cleanse and improve the function of the liver. This formulation also contains valuable anti-oxidants for the entire digestive tract to aid in the healing from any damage that may have been caused. Also the MSM is very good aid in the healing and soothing of the internal organs especially the entire Digestive System. It also contains anti-parasitic, anti-fungal properties to encourage a thorough cleansing.

Liver Essentials; Liver cleanse and support--- Natural vegetable fibre, picrorhiza kurroa root extract, N-Acetyl L-cysteine, Siliphos® (milk thistle silybin phytosome complex extract), schizandra berry fruit extract, green tea leaf extract and curcumin extract in a gelatin capsule. This product is designed to cleanse and nourish our liver. Our liver is the largest filter in the body and performs over 500 functions in our body. It can become overloaded with chemicals, toxins and be impaired by fatty deposits. It is essential to life itself and if it is impaired by disease such as hepatitis, jaundice, mononucleosis, or damage from drugs or alcohol it cannot effectively detox itself and we will begin to experience all kinds of illnesses. It is also where the body takes components, enzymes, hormones etc and synthesizes or converts them to another factor then sends them to other organs or areas in the body to help maintain or regenerate normal cellular function and health. One of the most overlooked organs in our bodies is the liver and often many degenerative conditions would be avoided if we had optimally functioning livers.

MSM Complex---MSM powder (Methylsulfonylmethane - 500 mg per capsule), potassium citrate, Siberian ginseng extract, Echinacea purpurea extract, calcium ascorbate, ascorbic acid, Korean ginseng extract, garlic powder, citrus bioflavonoid complex powder, quercetin, rutin and broccoli extract (25% indoles) in a gelatin capsule.

It has anti-fungal properties and can be beneficial in treatment of overgrowth of yeast and candida. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for arthritic conditions, powerful anti-oxidant and enhances immune function. It has powerful cell regeneration properties and aids with elimination of scar tissue. It increases energy. It also can act as a styptic where internal bleeding occurs and aid in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, is essential for colitis and Crohn's disease and recovery from hemorrhoids. It is extremely beneficial to asthma sufferers and aid in tissue repair in the lungs. It aids in the prevention or management of conditions such as hardening of the arteries, emphysema, allergies, headaches including migraines, arthritis, hip dysplasia, stomach problems, diverticulosis, weak fingernails and hair fall, low energy. It keeps cell membranes flexible and permeable allowing for nutrients, waste and toxins to move in out of cell membranes easily. It may support correct insulin production and blood sugar imbalances.

The Paraway/Clearstart Pack is sold in a one month supply; however we believe to do a thorough cleanse and to catch the parasites (parasites are cyclic) in every stage a minimum of 3 months is required. We also recommend, since re-infestation can occur at any time that a parasite cleanse become a regular part of a wellness routine and be repeated on a regular basis.
