Parasites, bacteria and viruses are everywhere. Our food, soil, water, polluted air, animals and other humans are the main sources for contact with parasites. Vä's Parasitin+ is a broad spectrum Scientifically Advanced Gastrointestinal Nutraceutical Dietary Supplement containing special phytomedicinals which are known to be lethal antagonists to intestinal parasites, colon parasites and some circulatory parasites. Parasitin+ is formulated to effectively eliminate protozoa, flukes, roundworms and the entire body of tapeworms (including the head or scolex). If the head is not expelled, the tapeworm can regrow an entirely new body Other anti-parasitics are generally narrower in scope, and most are not effective against the many varieties of tapeworms. Only Parasitin+ is effective! There are a number of major common parasites which can live in the human host and which we should be concerned about: Protozoan, Flukes (flatworms), Roundworms and Tapeworms.
Protozoan are organisms that live in the blood, tissues and intestines. Although exceptionally small, these parasites may remain active in the human body for an entire lifetime, causing multiple complications.
Flukes (Trematodes), or flatworms, are likely the most common form of parasite found in humans worldwide. These commonly infect everyone.s intestines and other tissues including the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. All Flukes are terribly difficult to get rid of once infected, accumulating over a period of 10 to 20 years.
The largest intestinal Fluke: Fasciolopsis buski
Fleshy, red and beef-colored, Flukes attach themselves within the  mucosa of the small intestine. Living up to one year per adult organism, they proliferate easily and spread to other organs. Transmission is through unwashed vegetables, as well as fish and pork. Although they normally develop outside the body, new theories suggest that when "propyl alcohols" are used or consumed (either in foods or cosmetics), they provide the fluke with an environment which enables it to complete its entire life cycle within man. This allow the fluke to migrate throughout the body, thus infesting every tissue and organ with which it comes into contact.
Roundworms (Nematodes) include the families of hookworm, pinworm, whipworm, threadworm, etc. Commonly found in the intestines and often contracted through the skin, they, like other parasites, may migrate throughout the body and present multiple symptoms of disease.
Tapeworms (Cestodes) are generally the largest of the parasites. These segmented worms, containing 50,000 eggs within each of its 3,000-4,000 segments, can release up to one million eggs per day! Some tapeworms may live as long as 25 years and can quickly reach upwards to 10 meters/33 feet in length within the gastrointestinal tract. However, their larvae can be found in almost any organ, being capable of infecting other tissues in varying stages of its development. Parasites have survival skills which are beyond the capabilities of our Immune System, and that.s why they can generally live for years within their host.
The Dog Tapeworm: Echinococcus granulosus
Electron microscope photograph of a young hydatid worm (Dog Tapeworm) prevalent  throughout Europe and North America. Their lengths range from 3 to 9mm, and there are generally several thousands in any infected host, including man. They are often filled with water and are the cause of much bloating, and lastly alveolar hydatid disease. Eggs are laid bimonthly at the rate of 500-800 eggs per organism. Common vectors (carriers) include cats and dogs which easily pass on the parasite to humans through petting and grooming.
Tapeworm Larvae: Sparganosis mansoni
A larvae or "sparganum" of a tapeworm after it was surgically removed form a subcutaneous  mass. These adult tapeworms can reach lengths of 100cm or 40 inches. After penetrating the mucosa lining of the small intestine, they migrate systemically throughout the body, invading a variety of tissues and organs, and living for years.
The Pork Tapeworm: Taenia solium
Showing the scloex (or head) with four suckers and a double row of hooks by which it attaches  itself. This parasite lives within the small bowel of humans, penetrates the intestinal wall and disseminates throughout the body. It's carried by undercooked pork (Barbecue!), other contaminated foods, or by autoinfection (anus-hand-mouth) and causes cysticerosis, as the larvae infest the eye, as well as infecting the brain, leaving calcified lesions/tumors, neurocysticercosis. The average length is 3-5 meters (6-18 feet), living for many years within its host, often incubating for up to 30 years before reproducing!
How Do I Know If I Have A Parasitic Infestation?
Medical tests are available which will only detect some 50 out of 1000 different varieties of parasites, but even the effectiveness of these tests detect only about 20% of those truly infected, because parasites can take so many different physical forms within their development. These .numbers. translate to some rather abysmal confidence levels as to the accuracy of the tests, and the probability of them working correctly on you. Chances are, if you.re tested and you really are infected, you only have a 1% chance of finding out. Not very good odds to say the least!
The Different Developmental Stages (a-f) of a parasitic Blood Fluke (Schistosoma)
Parasites generally have long lives and remain undetected within the body because of their biological cunning. Complicating things even further is the fact that they regularly change their shape and chemistry (morphology) so as to avoid detection by the Immune System. Pictured above are the scanning electron micrographs of the morphological transformations (varying stages of development) of just one particular parasite (schistosome) in the course of its life: (a) Egg in human tissues, intestines and stool. (b) Miracidium in water. (c) Sprocyst in snail. (d) Cercaria in water and human skin. (e) Schistosomuium in human tissue and blood. (f) Adult worms in mesenteric veins in humans.
