PARASITES: More Common Than Previously Thought

Human parasites include the protozoans (microscopic organisms) and helminths (worms).

There is mounting evidence that parasitic infestations are more common than previously thought. (Power Healing~Leo Galland, Random House New York, 1997; Handbook of Medicinal Herbs~Duke, J.A., CRC Press Boca Raton, Florida, 1985).

In the human body, parasites can co-exist with yeast and bacteria. Together they interfere with the host's vital processes through secretions, excretions and other toxic products.

Unfortunately, few people realize the damage such organisms may have on their long-term health.

Health professionals are now beginning to understand how these unfriendly organisms may interfere with our digestive processes as well as cause wide spread ill health. (Power Healing~Leo Galland, Random House New York, 1997; The Yeast Connection~William Crook, Professional Books, Jackson, Tenn., 1994; The 20-Day Rejuvenation Diet Program~Jeffrey Bland, Keats Publishing Inc. 1997)
