2 Parasites Intro Wikipedia s definition of a parasite is: A non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

3 Parasites Intro Many types of parasite exist in Nature and it s well worth reading the Wikipedia write-up. We re interested in endoparasites those living inside the body and specifically in the human intestine.

4 Parasites Intro There are two size classifications: Macroparasites, which are basically the different types of worms. Microparasites, which are the protozoan and amoebic parasites.

5 Parasites Medical Attitudes They are tropical, developing world problems and only cause acute symptoms anyway. If you come back from holiday with diarrhea, we may test you if the symptoms are bad enough. Unfortunately, that s really the bottom line.

6 Parasites - Reality Can be acquired virtually anywhere and they don t jump out of people when they cross the border! Food - meats, salad veg, sushi, seafood Water - less developed countries Skin - many worm larvae enter via the skin Pets / farms - petting, licking face, etc.

7 Parasites - Prevalence Nearly everyone we test has a parasite, bacterial imbalance or fungal issue. Worldwide, it s believed 4-5 billion people carry at least one intestinal parasite. These parasites may not cause overt problems in all carriers, but when someone comes to you with symptoms as they inevitably do parasites are often one of the contributing factors.

8 Parasites Frequency of Detection Protozoans (microscopic, single-celled organisms): - Blastocystis hominis - Endolimax nana - Cryptosporidium parvum - Entamoeba histolytica - Entamoeba coli - Entamoeba hartmanni - Giardia lamblia - Chilomastix mesnili - Cyclospora cayetanensis

9 Parasites Frequency of Detection Helminths (macroscopic multicellular worms) : - Ascaris lumbricoides (human roundworm) - Strongyloides stercoralis (threadworm) - Ancylostoma /Necator americanus (hookworms) - Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) - Trichuris trichiura (whipworm)

10 WYDDTYP I wrote this simple little e-book to help my clients understand how parasites can affect the body. It s an essential homework reading task for you! Because you have the e-book, I won t go into huge detail on parasite descriptions in this lesson.

11 Protozoans & Amoebae Giardia Cryptosporidium Blastocystis hominis Entamoeba histolytica Dientamoeba fragilis Endolimax nana Chilomastix Balantidium coli Isospora Cyclospora Trichomonas

12 Protozoans - Giardia Giardia lamblia / duodenalis / intestinalis Has a sucker that allows it to stick to the intestinal wall. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, chronic fatigue, food intolerance, and can exacerbate IBS, arthritis, chemical lia_sem_8698_lores.jpg sensitivity.

13 Protozoans - Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium parvum Hidden spore very tiny Food, water, swimming pools, daycare. Can invade intestinal cells and cause significant damage. Can infect biliary tree, lungs, middle ear. Frequently seen as a chronic invader. ptosporidium

14 Protozoans Blastocystis hominis Blastocystis hominis Different subtypes (x13) Diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever, gas, malaise, fatigue, chills, joint pain. Many docs don t consider Blasto a problem (with good reason in some cases) n_forms_of_blastocystis_hominis_valzn.jpg

15 Protozoans Blastocystis hominis Although the role of Blastocystis hominis in human disease is often referred to as controversial, a systematic survey of research studies conducted by 11 infectious disease specialists from nine countries, found that over 95% of papers published in the last 10 years identified it as causing illness in immunocompetent individuals. The paper attributed confusion over pathogenicity to the existence of asymptomatic carriers, a phenomenon the study noted is common to all gastrointestinal protozoa.

16 Protozoans Entamoeba histolytica Entamoeba histolytica A major problem in developing world IBS symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, food allergy, or multiple chemical sensitivity. Colitis Dysentery Liver abscesses (right quadrant pain) _of_entamoeba_histolytica_with_ingested_ery throcytes.jpg

17 Worms! I ll only discuss four of the major worms here it would take too long to discuss them all. These are the ones I ve seen appear on stool tests most frequently.

18 Worms - Pinworm Enterobius vermicularis Often asymptomatic Itchy anus, especially at night Very heavy burden may lead to other GI problems Possibly linked with appendicitis Eggs may carry D. fragilis dworm.jpg

19 Worms - Hookworm Ancylostoma & Necator americanus Ancylostoma: Africa / Asia Necator: Americas Asymptomatic or GI pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea Anemia, protein deficiency er-110-intestinal-infections-by.htm

20 Worms - Whipworm Trichuris trichiura Typical digestive symptoms, or none at all Symptoms may depend on worm density Can cause dysentery, enteropathy and anemia T. suis has been used to treat IBD by Joel Weinstock, et al ites2005/trichuris/untitled-12.htm

21 Worms - Roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides Most frequently detected worm Massive global distribution Can cause lots of symptoms, or none at all Bloody sputum, cough, abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhoea, etc.

22 Worms There are other worms, including tapeworm, Strongyloides (threadworm) and flatworms flukes) but I d like to move onto the typical or general symptoms we see in people who have parasites.

23 Parasites - Symptoms It can be very hard to distinguish the symptoms of parasite, bacterial and fungal origin because: Symptoms overlap significantly A chronic C. diff overgrowth may cause the same symptoms as Blasto or hookworm, for example People may have more than one bad bug! It s common to see multiple-infestation

24 Parasite Symptoms Paul Chek Fatigue that is uncharacteristic of your normal state Constipation/diarrhea Irritable bowel syndrome Digestive disorders Irritability/nervousness/mood swings Depression Emotional unrest Agitated thoughts Nightmares Persistent skin problems

25 Parasite Symptoms Paul Chek Gruanulomas (tumor like parasite encasements) Sugar cravings Ravenous appetite Allergies/intolerances Nasal itching/picking Anal itching Coin size blotches on face Skin eruptions/markings Fungal infections Overall fatigue

26 Bacteria, Parasites & Common Sense Anyone will agree that it s at least possible that symptoms are going to result from these bad bugs living in the gut for any length of time. It s common sense that international travel, migration and contact with animals leaves no corner of the earth immune to them. They re part of nature!

27 Bacteria, Parasites & Science We know from the resources mentioned in the last presentation, and the ones I m about to share with you, that our claims about bad bugs are scientifically valid and based on significant bundles evidence.

28 Bacteria, Parasites & Clinical Results We know unequivocally (with 100% certainty) that people experience improvements in health and vitality when they identify and successfully deal with these bad bugs!

29 Bad Bugs Bacteria - References The FDA s Bad Bug Book Microbewiki US Centers for Disease Control What Your Doctor Didn t Tell You About Parasites Dr. Alex Vasquez article on silent infections and chronic pain Emedicine website Principles and Practice of Clinical Parasitology Guess What Came To Dinner Paul Chek s Healing Parasitic and Fungal Infections Dr. Amin s Video Lecture

30 Thank You! Thanks for consuming this information. I hope it s been helpful. In the next lesson 5C we ll look at yeast and fungal issues, which often go hand in hand with bacterial and parasitic problems.
