Did you know that parasitic infection is a common health issue that is often significantly overlooked and underdiagnosed? Many people disregard parasites as something that only exists in tropical countries or third-world countries with poor sanitation, but this is a huge misconception.
Parasites are among the most abundant creatures on earth, and actually play an integral role to the earth’s ecosystem. Parasitic creatures exist in nearly every ecosystem across the planet, and are certainly present in the United States and other first world countries.
What Is a Parasite?
Simply put, a parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. Parasitic organisms can be of different species, such as helminths (worms), protozoa, and others. A parasite is simply characterized by its way of living involving a dependency on a host that they gather their nutrients from.
In humans, parasites that live inside us use up our vitamins, proteins and other nutrients, depriving us of optimal nutrition. Not only do they steal nutrients from our body, they also eliminate waste inside us, releasing their toxic bacteria and viruses.
Why Don’t We Know Much About Parasites?
There are many reasons why parasites aren’t a more popular subject. For one, they are a pretty gross and uncomfortable problem to consider for most people—who wants to consider that they may have worms or other parasites inside them? This also causes a lot of fear and resistance to learning about parasites. It may be an uncomfortable thing to consider, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, and the more educated we are on them, the better we can understand them and the better we can understand how to get rid of them and stay parasite-free.
Parasites are also microscopic, and due to the nature of their lifestyle, they are experts at remaining undetected by their host. This has made it challenging to identify parasites and parasitic infections until recent years, though there is still much that we do not know.
We do know, however, that parasites can create a wide range of health issues, ranging from mild to severe and potentially even fatal. Parasitic infection is much more common than one might think, with an estimated 3.5 billion people around the world have an intestinal parasite infection, according to a 2016 study published in the National Library of Medicine
So, How Do We Get Rid of Parasites?
While the subject of parasites is complex, all you need to cleanse your body of these unwanted creatures is use three simple herbs: Green Black Walnut Hull, Wormwood, and Fresh Cloves. These herbs have strong anthelmintic properties, meaning they are wonderful at expelling parasitic worms from the body. Together, these three herbs make up what is traditionally known as “wormwood complex,” and are the ingredients that make Zuma Nutrition’s Parasite Detox Tonic (Shop Now).
Unfortunately, it is not always as easy as simply taking these three herbs as a tea or capsule—you need to ensure that they are actually absorbed by the body, and that you are actually getting the amounts needed to be effective. Because of this, many parasite cleanses require one to take upwards of 15 capsules at a time.
Instead of needing to follow this painstaking task, Zuma Nutrition has developed a more user-friendly way to get the high dosages of these herbs into the body in a form that is actually absorbable. Their formula is a high-grade concentration of these herbs extracted in 85% organic alcohol, and the herbs are wildcrafted and of high-quality.
The combination of these three herbs, when taken in the right dosages and in a bioavailable form, helps support the body’s effective detoxification of both the egg and the adult stages of 100 different internal parasites, including amoebas, giardia, many worms, and liver flukes.
Cleansing with this formula a couple times each year, eating a balanced whole foods diet, and following proper eating protocols that support digestion, while also doing your best to avoid some of the major sources of parasitic infection, is the best way to maintain a healthy body free of harmful parasites.
Parasites are common, and it is likely that we will all have to deal with a parasite (or many parasites) throughout our lives—whether we are aware of it or not. Parasites also often underlie many harmful health conditions. Even though they are common, you can protect yourself and your health from these toxic organisms by cleansing the body of them regularly and focusing on eating a healthy diet and leading a healthy lifestyle, so as to limit your exposure and chance of infection. Your health is in your hands, and with the right knowledge, and the right tools available, you can truly become the master of our own wellness.
