You are suppose to live with those one that your expert can't diagnose, or is unable to successfully treat... NOT all animals inside human body are always parasitic!

";Ascaris Lumbricoides has a world-wide distribution and is most prevalent in tropical areas. 25% of the world population harbors the parasite. " Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest and most common parasites found in humans.The adult females of this species can measure up to 18 inches long (males are generally shorter), and it is estimated that 25% of the world's population is infected with this nematode.The adult worms live in the small intestine and eggs are passed in the feces.A single female can produce up to 200,000 eggs each day!About two weeks after passage in the feces the eggs contain an infective larval or juvenile stage, and humans are infected when they ingest such infective eggs."; Fasciola hepatica is found in parts of the United States (view distribution), as well as in Great Britian, Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, and Australia. Do parasites cause morbidity or deaths? Estimates of global morbidity and mortality rates due to major human helminth infections. The format of this table was modified from that presented in the orignal publication.  Note that these diseases cause relatively few deaths, but that each causes significant morbidity, and it is the chronic and disabling nature of these diseases that have such an impact on human populations, especially in developing countries.

There are only few laboratories in the USA, that we know of, which are competent to diagnose the presence of some parasites in the feces and in the intestines. BUT, not the presence of all species of parasites. Recognizing microscopic parasitic eggs in the feces is much harder job then finding bacteria, yeast or virus.  "Good" labs are:    1. Meridian Valley Labs.       24030 132nd Ave. SE    ;   Kent, Washington 98042       (800) 234-6825   ;        2. Great Smokies Labs.       18 A Regent Park Blvd.       Asheville, North Carolina 28806       (800) 522-4762 You might also find a competent physician in your area by contacting these labs for that information. It is generally cheaper and easier to do herbal or Coenzyme Q10 parasites cleanse, then to diagnose the presence of parasites in the feces. If you do have worms, parasites cleanse will get them out, and that is the best diagnoses. Don't bother sending specimens to local laboratories. Ascaris Lumbricoides, large roundworm of humans, is the most common nematode parasite of humans, infecting an estimated 1.47 billion individuals. Pathology can result from pneumonia caused by the worm's migration through the lungs, blocking of the gastrointestinal track or the bile or pancreatic duct. Ascaris Lumbricoides is physically indistinguishable from Ascaris suum. What are the symptoms of internal parasites? Possible signs and symptoms of internal parasites:     *     * Feel tired most of the time (Chronic Fatigue)? Have digestive problems? (gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea that come and go but never really clear up)  ;   * Have gastrointestinal symptoms and bulky stools with excess fat in feces?     * Suffer with food sensitivities and environmental intolerance?     * Developed allergic-like reactions and can't understand why?     * Have joint and muscle pains and inflammation often assumed to be arthritis?  ;   * Suffer with anemia or iron deficiency (pernicious anemia)?   ;  * Have hives, rashes, weeping eczema, cutaneous ulcers, swelling, sores, papular lesions, itchy dermatitis?     * Suffer with restlessness and anxiety?   ;  * Experience multiple awakenings during the night particularly between 2 and 3 am?  ;   * Grind your teeth?     * Have an excessive amount of bacterial or viral infections?     * Depressed?     * Difficulty gaining or losing weight no matter what you do?  ;   * Did a Candida program which either didn't help at all or helped somewhat but you still can't stay away from bread, alcohol, fruit, or fruit juices?     * Just can't figure out why you don't feel really great and neither can your doctor?     * itchy ears, nose, anus     * forgetfulness, slow reflexes, gas and bloating, unclear thinking;     * loss of appetite, yellowish face     * fast heartbeat, heart pain, pain in the navel;     * eating more than normal but still feeling hungry;     * pain in the back, thighs, shoulders;     * lethargy;     * numb hands;     * burning sensation in the stomach;   ;  * drooling while sleeping;     * damp lips at night, dry lips during the day, grinding teeth while asleep;     * bed wetting;   ;  * women: problems with the menstrual cycle;     * men: sexual dysfunction;     These are only possible symptoms, and please keep in mind that not everyone that has a few of these symptoms should automatically make the assumption that they are infected; however, if you suspect infection or have been unsuccessfully treated for a problem, it is worth doing some specific parasite cleansing.     Intestinal Parasites And AIDS     Parasites as Cofactors for AIDS     New - Parasites Images - Worms     All Parasites Images - 60 pages     ;    ; People Infected - 5 pages     Rice in your stool? 5 pages    ; Ascaris Lumbricoides 3 Pages
