THE NUMBERS
• Worldwide, it is estimated that over 4 billion people are infested
with intestinal parasites, and that 450 million are ill because
of them
• Parasitic infestation is not just a problem in underdeveloped areas.
Trends in international travel and immigration, along with importation
of produce and other products from around the world, are increasingly
bringing this problem to the Western world
• It is estimated that 85% of Americans have some type of intestinal
parasite
• One of the most common North American parasites -- giardia lamblia
-- is thought to infect nearly half of the US water supply, and
it is not affected by chlorine
• Parasitic infestation is notoriously hard to detect. Standard testing
yields a high level of false negative results.

IT'S A WORMY WORLD
Ingesting food and water -- it's certainly hard to
live without them! -- often introduces an unwelcome and fairly
disgusting invader
into our bodies: parasites. While most Americans probably would
not list parasites (like intestinal worms and liver flukes) among
the health issues that most concern them, there are some 140 different
parasites that can infect the human body.
What
exactly is a parasite? The scientific definition is “a
plant or animal organism that lives in or on, nd takes its nourishment
from, another organism, which it often injures. Intestinal parasites
range from microscopic, single-celled protozoans to yard-long
tapeworms.
Parasites in their larval stage are consumed in uncooked or undercooked
meat and seafood or on unwashed fresh fruits and vegetables.
Because these are some of the primary vectors for parasites,
food handlers
are often inadvertantly responsible for the the rising number
of infestations in the U.S. today. Many food handlers are recent
immigrants
from countries where parasitic infestation rates are significantly
higher than in the U.S.
Transmission of parasites is also increased among
kids in daycare centers and schools, where they come in contact
with many more
infected children. An additional problem is keeping pets with
us in living quarters. Dogs can transmit 65 known parasites to
humans,
while cats carry about 40 that affect people.
Pinworm
is the most common helminthic (or "worm") infection
in the US. It is most commonly transmitted person-to-person, especially
through the handling of contaminated clothes and bed linens. Pinworm
can also be acquired through coming in contact with contaminated
surfaces like curtains and carpeting. Kind of makes you think twice
about that nice "clean" hotel room you may be staying
in on your next vacation, doesn't it? Roundworms are the most
common human helminthic infection overall. A female roundworm
can produce
up to 240,000 eggs per day. Other common parasitic infections
come from hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, liver flukes (fasciola)
and
lung flukes (paragonimus).
Parasites
can live almost anywhere in the body, from skin tissue to the
brain. They can do tremendous damage without being the
obvious cause, because they are often hard to detect. Those
that live in
the intestines can cause digestive problems like flatulence,
constipation, or diarrhea. They can cause malnutrition by leeching
nutrients
from the body, resulting in fatigue, apathy, depression, poor
memory and impaired concentration. In addition, they can inflame,
irritate
and perforate the intestinal lining, causing “leaky gut” and
food disorders. In such cases, undigested food particles can
enter the blood stream and create another set of challenges to
the liver,
kidneys and immune system.
Parasites also may settle in joints and muscles, form cysts,
and create inflammations. The resulting pain is most often attributed
to arthritis. Parasites can form granulomas in the liver, kidneys,
brain and other organs. They produce toxic metabolic wastes that
can attack the central nervous system, often resulting in restlessness,
anxiety and depression.
Parasites in any form create an enormous load on the immune system.
Their presence stimulates a continuous immune response, exhausting
reserves and diverting resources away from other activities, such
as cancer surveillance and resistance to other types of infection.
With an estimated 85 percent of Americans having some type of intestinal
parasite, it is not a problem that can be ignored.

THE SOLUTION
How can we protect ourselves from the impact of daily exposure
to human parasites? Proper handling and preparation of foods, along
with frequent hand washing, help. Promoting optimum functioning
of the immune system is essential. This is facilitated by consuming
anti-oxidants in foods and supplements, encouraging the growth
of beneficial intestinal bacteria, and reducing stress.
There is now an effective natural supplement that creates a hostile
environment for parasites and helps the body rid itself of them – Detoxal
21. This 21st Century approach to an age-old problem combines traditional
herbal parasite remedies with modern-day natural antimicrobials.
Let's examine the components:
Black Walnut Hull
If you've ever had a walnut tree in your yard, you know that when
the walnuts fall from the tree, they don't look much like the
walnuts you buy in the store. They're covered with a tough green
hull that needs to be removed just to get to the shell. You'll
also know how messy those hulls can be -- they turn your fingers
brown as you remove them, and they do the same to the driveway
and sidewalk if not removed. Well, that brown stain in the green
husk contains organic iodine, which has antiseptic and healing
properties. The extract of black walnut hull acts as a “vermicide” by
directly killing worms. It also contains substances like tannins
that act as a "vermifuge" -- something that helps expel
and control worms.
Wormwood
As its name suggests, wormwood has long been used as an antihelminthic
to expel intestinal worms. It does this primarily by utilizing
its natural anesthetic properties to anesthetize the worms and
cause them to release their grip on the intestines so they can
be flushed out of the body. One of the bitterest herbs -- its
Latin/scientific name "absinthium" means "bitter" --
wormwood has been used for various bodily ailments for more than
3,600 years. It has also been used as a tonic to stimulate the
liver and gallbladder.
Clove
This fragrant herb has been used by health practitioners around
the world for centuries to combat everything from diarrhea, ringworm,
gout, respiratory ailments, and nausea, to toothache and bacterial
infections. Clove oil is antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic,
and germicidal. It aids in digestion and helps kill intestinal
parasites. It also has a tonic effect on the kidneys, stomach,
and spleen. Clove oil contains large amounts of eugenol, the
substance responsible for its anesthetic and antiseptic properties.
Gentian
As its common name -- bitterroot -- implies, gentian contains some
of the most bitter substances known: primarily gentiopicrin (which
stimulates bile production and helps protect the liver) and amarogentin.
Bitter plants such as gentian have been used for centuries as
digestive aids. The gentiopicrin in gentian stimulates saliva
excretions in the mouth and hydrochloric acid in the stomach
to aid in digestion. Gentian kills worms and protozoan parasites.
It helps purify the blood, and is beneficial for the pancreas,
spleen and kidneys.
Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)
While the fruit is commonly used for its health benefits (how many
grapefruit diets have you been on in your lifetime?), the seeds
of this citrus fruit are also rich in citrus bioflavonoids and
amino acids that support the body's immune system, helping protect
us against cancer and heart disease. The seeds are high in vitamin
C and potassium as well. The active ingredient in the seeds --
quaternary ammonium compounds -- is what is responsible for the
seeds' powerful antimicrobial abilities. Grapefruit seed extract
is a broad spectrum bactericide, fungicide, antiviral and antiparasitic
substance. It is used around the world to help combat candida
and various other fungal infections. Concentrated liquid forms
of GSE are even used for cleansing in operating rooms and other
hospital settings.
Allicin
(AlliSURE®)
The protective qualities of garlic have reached near-mythic proportions
in folklore around the world. But in reality, the health benefits
of this humble plant are really quite amazing. It has been one
of the most popular medicinal herbs around the world for thousands
of years, used by athletes in ancient Greece to promote stamina,
and used by people in the Middle Ages to protect them against
Bubonic Plague.
Garlic has natural antibiotic properties and is
a good source of selenium, which helps maintain healthy immune
response in the body.
Researchers have zeroed in on the key component in garlic's effectiveness
-- allicin, the sulfide that gives garlic its distinctive odor.
Allicin is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, with activity against
parasites, bacteria, viruses and fungi.
Allicin comes from the odorless, sulfur-containing compound alliin
found in the garlic bulb. This alliin is converted by the garlic
enzyme allinase into allicin whenever the bulb is cut or processed
in any way. Allicin quickly reacts with and inactivates allinase,
thus inhibiting further conversion of alliin. Actually, this
quick reactivity of allicin suggests it is a defense mechanism
for the
garlic itself. When the garlic cloves come into contact with
pathogens and fungi in the soil, the interaction between alliin
and allinase
is set off, quickly producing allicin, which then reacts to inactivate
the foreign invaders.
Chemically, allicin contains sulfur-sulfur bonds that are responsible
the antimicrobial properties associated with it. In fact, this
chemical structure is remarkably similar to that of penicillin.
Long before pharmaceutical antibiotics were used, crushed garlic
extracts were used to combat a wide range of infectious diseases,
from dysentery and typhus to cholera, smallpox, and tuberculosis.
While the potential health benefits of garlic extracts are significant,
they are hard to realize in practice for a number of reasons. Allicin
molecules are very reactive and have a short half-life, since they
react vigorously with surrounding proteins, including the enzyme
allinase. This drastically reduces the ability of allinase to continue
reacting with alliin and thus produce more allicin. To make matters
worse, allinase is destroyed by stomach acid, which means it is
not available to produce the beneficial allicin. One or more of
these factors severely limits the benefits of garlic supplements.
Until
now. AlliSURE® provides a 100% yield of allicin because
it is allicin – it doesn’t require activation by allinase,
so its effectiveness is not limited by the presence of stomach
acid. And the allicin of AlliSURE® is stabilized by a patented
process, resulting in real activity that is available for prolonged
periods of time.
