WORM/PARASITES
“Parasites are the missing diagnosis in the genesis of many chronic
health problems, including diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and
endocrine system. Most individuals would be truly amazed if they knew the
extraordinarily high number of Americans who are unknowingly infected by
parasites…” – Dr.
Hermann R. Bueno, Fellow of Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene of
London.
Writing in
Volume 4 of the Angels of Life Natural Health Journal I noted:
“Pathology can result from pneumonia caused by a worm's migration through
the lungs, blocking of the gastrointestinal track or the bile or pancreatic
duct. Moreover, parasite infestation can cause even more severe
problems…"Make no mistake about it, worms are the most toxic agents
in the human body. They are one of the primary underlying causes of disease
and are the most basic cause of a compromised immune system." - Hazel
Parcells, D.C., N.D., Ph.D., 1974. "I strongly believe that every
patient
with disorders of immune function, including multiple allergies
(especially food allergy), and patients with unexplained fatigue or with
chronic bowel symptoms should be evaluated for the presence of intestinal
parasites." - Leo Galland, M.D. Townsend Letter for Doctors, 1988.
“We have a tremendous parasite problem right here in the United States -
it’s just not being identified." - Peter Weina, Ph.D., Chief of
Pathobiology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, 1991.
According to the World Health Organization: “Overall,
about 1.5 billion people have roundworms, making it the third most common
human infection in the world. Whipworm infects 1 billion people… More than
1.3 billion people carry hookworm in their gut, and 265 million people are
infected with schistosomes.”
TYPES OF WORMS
The most common type of worms are round worms (including
ascarids, hookworms, pinworms, and threadworms) and tapeworms.
Roundworms are contagious intestinal parasites shaped
like earthworms, only smaller in size. However, they can still be seen with
the naked eye.
Ascaris
Close Up Female and male Ascaris
The adult round worms live in the lumen of the small
intestine. The female may produce up to 240,000 eggs per day, which are passed
with the feces. Fertile eggs become
infective after about 18 days to a few weeks. The adult roundworm can live 1
to 2 years.
Large Mass Of Round Worms Passed From Person’s Intestinal Track
Tapeworms vary in length from an inch up to 30 feet!
Moreover they can survive for up to 25 years in the body. Pinworms, in contrast, are white, about 1\3
of an inch long and threadlike. “Depending on the type of worm involved and the
severity of the infestation, there may be a variety of symptoms”,
explains James and Phyllis Balch in their classic work, Prescription for
Nutritional Healing. They write further “In some cases there may be
no symptoms at all. In some cases worms may be seen in the stool.”
DESCRIPITIONS OF WORMS
“Tape worms: Taenias - fish tapeworm, beef tapeworm, and pork tapeworm. Obtained
from eating raw or undercooked, infected meat. Adult worms can reach a length
of more than 15 feet. Pork tapeworms can enter the brain and cause seizures.
Fish tapeworms can produce over one million eggs per day. It can grow up to 33
feet. This worm is normally half an inch long, and is usually white/grey in
color.
White worms:
They come in all sizes, from tiny pinworms to those that look like spaghetti
or angel hair pasta.
Red worms:
These look just like earthworms. They exude from the colon wrapped in balls.
They can reach up to 6 inches long.
Inch worms:
These are thick (pencil size), black and bumpy, and about 2 inches long.
Black worms:
These are 10 - 12 inches in length and leave the colon wrapped in 'yellow acid
water'. They nest deep in the impacted colon wall.
Pin worms:
Tiny parasites that wiggle out of the anus cavity. They have the appearance of
white rice and are about 3/4 inch long and are thicker than white worms.
Hook worms:
Curved parasites about six inches long, and grayish. Infestation is as high as
50% worldwide. Hookworms grip the intestinal wall and suck blood.
Thread worms:
Cream-colored parasites as thin as a thread. They often come out by the
hundreds.
Stickpin worms:
One inch long and a head like a pea, perfectly round, small ones are white,
adults are black.
'Little fish':
Fish-type parasites with heads and tails that swim out of the colon in
schools. They average about 1/2 inch long.
'Fuzz balls':
Round parasites with fur on them. About 1/4 - 3/4 inch diameter, yellow in
color.
'Spiders':
Has an appearance similar to that of a spider and are colored brown; often 1
inch long.”
Pinworms can cause
severe anal itching (especially at night, because the worms tend to migrate
outside the anus to lay eggs) insomnia and restlessness.
Hookworms can cause
itching on the soles of the feet, and in some instances bloody sputum, fever,
rash, and loss of appetite.
Threadworms can
cause coughing or bronchitis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and gas, preceded by
tiny red abrasions that sometime itch.
Small tapeworms can
cause weight and appetite loss, and abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Large tapeworms can
cause similar symptoms, usually without the weight loss.
Tapeworms are worthy of particular notice in part because of the size
to which they can grow within a human host. “The fish tapeworm is a
broad, long worm, often growing to lengths of 3-7 feet at maturity and capable
of attaining 30 feet. It is the longest tapeworm invading humans with as many
as 4,000 segments (proglottids). The main body of the worm is virtually filled
with male and female reproductive organs allowing it to produce an incredible
number of eggs, often more than 1,000,000 a day. The adult attaches to the
wall of the intestine with the aid of two sucking grooves located in its head
(scolex).”
Tape Worm
“The adult is ivory or grayish-yellow in color and can
live in humans for 20 years. Humans are the final host of this worm, but first
it must pass through a tiny freshwater crustacean, and then to a fish…The
larva that infects people, a 'plerocercoid', is frequently found in the
intestines of freshwater and marine fish. It is sometimes found in the flesh
of freshwater fish or in fish that are migrating from salt waters to fresh
water for breeding. You can be infected by eating raw, lightly cooked,…
freshwater or certain migratory species of salmon, perch, pike, pickerel, and
turbot. The popularity of eating raw fish dishes, such as Japanese sushi and
sashimi, helps to spread this disease….Some people are constantly hungry
because the tapeworms are eating most of the food. There are times when the
worm gets so large that it will cause a colon blockage. In some people a
severe anemia may develop, because of this tapeworm's ability to consume most
of its host's vitamin B12. Folate may be reduced as well. With the
anemia that results, neurological symptoms can manifest including numbness,
loss of vibration sense, and even some eye symptoms.”
According to the, Natural Remedies Encyclopedia, the
pork tapeworm and the beef tapeworm are more common than the fish tapeworm.
“Pork is an extremely dangerous food to eat. The larvae of pork tapeworm
frequently burrow through the intestinal wall and travel around the body
in the blood. Epilepsy and , if they infect the eyes, blindness may
result”.
AVENUES OF INFESTATION
There are four pathways that we can be infected: 1) Via
food or water which are sources of the roundworm, amoebae, giardia.
2) Via a vector - mosquito carrier of dog heartworm,
filaria, malaria; flea is a carrier of dog tapeworm; common housefly transmits
amebic cysts; sand fly carries leishmaniasis.
3) Via sexual contact where partners can transmit
trichomonas, giardia, amoebae.
4) Through the nose and skin where pinworm eggs and
Toxoplasma gondii can be inhaled from contaminated dust, hookworms,
schistosomes, and strongyloides can penetrate exposed skin and bare feet.
"Another
parasitic pathway is the airplane. Extensive foreign travel has exposed people
to a whole gamut of exotic diseases never before encountered in their
homeland." Guess What Came to Dinner by Louise Gittleman, pg. 22.
Dr. James Balch M.D., and Phyllis A. Balch, CNC note : “Worm infestations can range from
mild to severe, even life threatening, particularly in children. They result
in poor absorption of essential nutrients, and in some cases, loss of blood
from the gastrointestinal tract…Malabsorption resulting from parasitic
infection makes one susceptible to many diseases because it results in
Diminished immune function…Parisites are more common
than most people suppose and they can be behind many illnesses, including
colon disorders…They… are common in people with AIDS chronic fatigue
syndrome, candidiasis, and many other disorders”.
NATURAL SOLUTIONS
The are some very helpful foods as well as
herbs for worm infestation.
Aloe Vera taken in any form is very effective in eliminating worms.
Other herbs that help expel worms are cascara sagrada,
wormwood, cloves, Echinacea, goldenseal, burdock, and black walnut to name a
few.
Grapefruit seed extract is also helpful in destroying
parasites. According to the, Natural Remedies Encyclopedia, one can
“Take black walnut extract and chaparral tea or tablets, eat pumpkin seeds
and figs. Also drink fig juice…A hot-water enema, with 3 tsp.of salt to a
quart of water, may get rid of pinworms…The Japanese use ginger to
get rid of worms. Research has shown this to be true.”
One notable solution is Diatomaceous Earth. By taking these
capsules for three weeks, you can rid yourself of worms. The worms eat it and
it causes them to disintegrate.
Garlic has been used effectively for pinworms,
roundworms, giardia (an amoeba), as well as other parasitic infections.
Finally
according to Dr. Huldah Clark, as I mentioned in Volume 4 of this Journal: “Getting
rid of all parasites would be absolutely impossible using clinical medicines
that can kill only one or two parasites each. Such medicines also tend to make
you quite ill. Imagine taking 10 such drugs to kill a dozen of your parasites!
Good news, perhaps, for the drug makers but not for you. Yet three herbs can
rid you of over 100 types of parasites! And without so much as a headache!
Without nausea! Without any interference with any drug that you are already
on! Does this sound too fantastic? Just too good to be true? They are natures
gift to us.
- The herbs are: Black Walnut
Hulls (from the black walnut tree)
- Wormwood (from the
Artemisia shrub)
- Common Cloves (from the
clove tree)
These three herbs must be used together. Black walnut
hull and wormwood kill adults and developmental stages of at least 100
parasites. Cloves kill the eggs. Only if you use them together will you rid
yourself of parasites. If you kill only the adults, the tiny stages and eggs
will soon grow into new adults. If you kill only the eggs, the million stages
already loose in your body will soon grow into adults and make more eggs. They
must be used together as a single treatment.”
Remember the
foods that you eat have a large part to play in worm infestation. Even fruits
and vegetables that have not been properly washed can lead to worm
infestation. Eating meat of any kind almost guarantees parasite infestation.
The original diet given to Mankind in the Garden of Eden is
still the optimal diet, and we would do well to follow the pattern given
there. Many of the foods given there will even now rid the body of parasites,
as well as prevent infestation, if eaten in place of many of the processed,
and unhealthy foods eaten today. That original diet as given by the Creator
reads as follows: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is
the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
An addition was added
later, after mankind sinned, “thou shalt eat the herb of the field .”
Genesis 1:29; 3:18. Thus the
eating of vegetables were added to mankind’s original diet to help
compensate for some of that which we lost physically, and no doubt mentally,
as a result of not obeying God’s instructions. So the totality of man’s
Genesis diet today should be a wide variety of fruits, nuts, grains, and
vegetables.
It has been my experience in working with people in health
and in sickness, that this is the optimal diet hands down; and if you would
drastically reduce your chances of parasite infestation, and the potential
problems associated with infestation, I would highly recommend that you adhere
to this Genesis diet. God Bless.

to rid yourself and/or your family members of parasites.
K.M. Henry
Gas in the stomach or bowels is
normally the result of improper digestion, leading to an excess of gas.
This accumulation of gas causes bloating in the stomach, intestine or
bowels.
The diet plays a huge role in the
presence of large amounts of gas, since bacteria in the colon acting on
unabsorbed carbohydrates and proteins in the diet mostly produce these gases.
Normally the stomach is sterile because of the acid environment.
But when it does not contain enough hydrochloric acid, the bacteria
migrates up into the stomach where it ferments the carbohydrates and proteins.
