Then there are the parasitic worms, including pinworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. These are usually acquired from eating contaminated meat that is not cooked sufficiently. Any part of the body can be visited by some type of parasite. Sometimes, the same parasite can move to many different parts of the body. It is amazing that so many people think that having diarrhea, gas, constipation, bloating, stomach pain, or other digestive problems, as well as skin rashes, fatigue, and other vague symptoms are just things to live with.
Symptoms can come from anywhere in the body because parasites can occur anywhere.
Parasites may be involved in Crohn s disease, ulcerative colitis, and arthritis symptoms. They could also be linked to food or environmental allergies that develop for no apparent reason. Although natural and herbal remedies abounded in earlier times, drugs are now generally prescribed for parasites. Unfortunately, many drugs are not as effective as they once were. According to Louis Parrish, M.D., Flagyl, a first-line killer of protozoa, is only 5 percent effective.
