Ayurvedic Parasitic ProtocolsIn tropical Asia, where parasites are endemic, it is believed that people with weaker digestions, like Blood Type A are more prone to parasitic infections. The parasites thrive on undigested food. Eventually, the host suffers from tissue weakness and degeneration. Not surprisingly, Ayurveda uses hot spices both to stimulate digestion and destroy parasites. We are combining in our Parasite cleansing Ayurvedic Medicine with Integrated Medicine. Contrary to Hulda Clark, Ayurveda rigorously opposes the use of dairy products when trying to rid the body of parasites. So, in tropical Asia, doctors prescribe hot spices to eliminate parasites. It goes without saying that such spices will also stimulate peristalsis and perhaps aggravate the tendency towards diarrhea, but diarrhea is the body's natural way of ridding itself of parasites. Black pepper and asafetida are normally used to increase what Ayurveda terms "digestive fire." Cayenne, though not native to tropical Asia, is also used. Then, as with the Chinese, Ayurveda employs bitter herbs, but not so much to stimulate the flow of bile as to detoxify the body of poisons. Parasites dump ammonia gas into the body. This disturbs many physiological processes as well as pH. Good Ayurvedic preparations address several issues simultaneously: the need to destroy the parasites, intestinal peristalsis and flora, and blood and liver detoxification. The cornerstone of all treatments is vidanga, Embelia ribes. Ayurvedic Doctors makes a formula based on vidanga that contains the highly bitter Neem leaf, the stinky asafetida, hot black pepper and pippali, carminative ginger and ajwan, and the three fruits found in the famous Triphala formula. It also contains kutaja, Ayurveda's chief anti-dysentery herb that is also used to detoxify the gastrointestinal tract. Some herbs you might not have heard of that improve immune function are astragalus [1], boswellia [2], silymarin [3](a bioflavonoid found in milk thistle), picrorhiza and tylophora [4] (also helpful for asthma.) In the world today so many people are sick from diseases that modern medicine does not seem to cure. Is it normal to have low energy, skin rashes, painful joints and bones? How many people around the globe are on medication with little or no change in their health? Could it be that the medical establishment has forgotten to look for worm and parasite infection in the human body? In recent studies taken at major hospitals over the last ten years, experts in this field have found that well over 95%of all people have parasitic animals living in them. What is a Parasite? A parasite is a small microscopic organism that draws energy and food from you. In fact, parasites are incredible food scavengers that literally consume energy from your cells. The single most undiagnosed health challenge today is parasites. There is no living creature on this earth that is not subjected to invasion by parasitic animals of one form or another. Parasitic Infection Here are a few signs of parasitic infection: low energy levels, fatigue, pain and fever, acne, skin rashes and hives, hair loss, grinding of teeth, frequent colds, flu ’s,loss of appetite, itchy ears, nose and anus, sexual dysfunction in men, slow reflexes in both children and adults, stomach gas, bloating, excess blood in urine or stool, eating more that usual but still feeling hungry, and numb hands or feet. The list is endless for all the things that parasitic infection can cause. How Do You Kill Parasites? Do modern drugs kill parasites? The answer unfortunately, is no. The parasite can live for many years undetected and is always adapting to the medications given to the body. The parasite is intelligent enough to move to a different location if it is being threatened. Independent laboratory tests have confirmed that synthetic drugs will make the parasite move from one organ to another. Testing For Parasites Now some of you are saying to yourself, Surely I can have a test for parasitic infection? The answer is yes you can, however; there are over one thousand species of parasites that can live inside the human body. For example, approximately fifty million different types of bacteria and parasites live on just one square inch of human skin. Modern medical science can only detect about 40 or 50 kinds of parasitic infections. Only twenty percent are actually found by testing and there is only 1% chance of clinically finding parasites.

Dose should be at least 2 grams daily of the root. Best to avoid it during the acute stages of infection, Bone believes. [2] Sharma ML,Khajuria A,Kaul A,others.

In the in vitro experiments, silibinin (1-10 micrograms/ml) failed to influence the random motility of unstimulated PMNS in agarose droplet assay, but enhanced the motility of the PMNs immobilized by fMLP, calcium ionophore, LIF or by autologous human sera. In the in vivo study, silibinin (Legalon-70) two hours after the administration was effective in enhancing spontaneous motility of leukocytes obtained from health volunteers which action could be regarded as a consequence of the decrease of leukocyte immobilizing activity being present in normal human plasma.

The effect of an ethanolic extract of each drug was studied on delayed type hypersensitivity, humoral responses to sheep red blood cells, skin allograft rejection, and phagocytic activity of the reticuloendothelial system in mice. Picrorhiza kurroa was found to be a potent immunostimulant, stimulating both cell-mediated and humoral immunity. Tylophora indica, Aconitum heterophyllum and Holarrhena antidysenterica appeared to stimulate phagocytic function while inhibiting the humoral component of the immune system. Tinospora cordifolia and Ocimum gratissimum appeared to improve the phagocytic function without affecting the humoral or cell-mediated immune system. Hemidesmus indicus suppressed both the cell-mediated and humoral components of the immune system.
