Intestinal Parasites
Parasitic infections in the gastro-intestinal tract are common. 80% of North Americans harbour one or more parasites.  It is so wide-spread because of international travel, immigration, contamination of the water and food supply, use of daycare centres, household pets, antibiotic use and chemical contamination.  Giardia and pinworms are the two most common intestinal parasites.

Intestinal parasites cause illness by competing with the host for nutrients and secreting waste products that cause allergic and autoimmune reactions.

Parasitic infections in the digestive tract can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms look similar to other abdominal illnesses.  Common symptoms include appetite changes, abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea and stool changes.  Dehydration may occur due to the diarrhea.  If the infection is long-term weight loss, malnourishment and chronic digestive problems manifest.

Conventional treatment involves the use of anti-parasitic medication.  This usually takes care of the current infection.  However, the body becomes susceptible to subsequent infections if friendly bacteria are not replaced.

Parasites undergo larval and adult phases that coordinate with the moon cycle.  The most effective time to start treatment is a few days before the full moon.  Ensure that the treatment continues through several cycles in order to make sure all of the organisms are destroyed.

Parasites & Your Diet
Avoid foods that stimulate parasite growth such as gluten containing grains, dairy products, eggs, artificial sweeteners, food additives, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, soft drinks, peanuts and cashews.  Eat foods that are high in carotenes like sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, squash, kale and cantaloupe.

Eat foods that are high in antioxidants and vitamin C like citrus fruits, broccoli, strawberries, melons and brussel sprouts.  Rice products and blueberries help to stop diarrhea.

Well-cooked lamb, poultry and fish are high in protein and help to heal the intestine.  Foods that kill parasites are garlic, raw pumpkin seeds, fresh coconut, papaya and papaya seeds.

Intestinal Health
The intestine is the main absorptive area of the digestive tract.  It is essentially a tube with a thin mucosal lining and lots of blood vessels on the inside and muscles around the outside.  It has its own immune tissue called GALT, or gut associated lymphoid tissue.  The inner lining is filled with little fingers, or projection of the mucosa, which greatly increases its absorptive surface.

Lying on the membrane are many friendly organisms, which help our body with the digestive process.  The small intestine attaches to the stomach.  Near it’s beginning, ducts from the liver and pancreas release digestive juices. These juices mix with the partially digested food from the stomach and continue the digestive process. Nutrients are absorbed through the thin intestinal wall and transported via the bloodstream, to where they are needed.  The liver also excretes processed toxins and fats through the bile.  These substances must be carried through the intestine without being absorbed.

The remainder of the food is pushed through into the large intestine.  The main function of the large intestine is the preparation of stool for excretion.  In order to do this the digested food must be dehydrated and compacted. The last bit of nutrients may also be absorbed here.

Some of the most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body.  Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called Probiotics, are an essential part of digestion.  They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes.  Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal.  Many concerns like indigestion, gas, bloating and constipation can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics
