Got bloating and unexplained digestive problems? Has it progressed to severe fatigue, brain fog, weight loss, joint pain, and a rash or rectal itch. These are not the signs of a poor diet or stress, but rather they may be symptoms of having parasites!
While everyone has good-and oftentimes bad-bacteria, it’s not “normal” to have parasites. Yet, according to the World Health Organization, approximately 25 percent of the world’s population has intestinal parasite infections. The CDC cites that more than 60 million people in the U.S. have parasites.
“People usually just think third world country, or bad water in Mexico, but parasites are very common in America,” Dr Alicia Armitstead, nutrition response testing practitioner at Healing Arts NYC said.
Causes of intestinal parasites include living with pets or consuming unwashed fruits and vegetables, raw meat, and sushi.
“The Japanese know - that is why sushi comes with ginger and wasabi,” Dr. Armitstead said. “That's to kill the parasites not because they like spice and they want to clean their palate with ginger.”
Kids often can get parasites due to poor hygiene such as not properly washing their hands or attending day care centers. Other risk factors include international travel to an area that has parasites or poor sanitation.
Common intestinal parasites include Giardia, pinworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and liver flukes.
