85 percent of population may be infected and not know it.


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 1997--Estimates suggest 85 percent of the world population may have them and not even know it.

And contrary to social opinion, this includes North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . As some scientists believe, parasites are more responsible for diseases such as cancer, diabetes and liver dysfunction, than has been traditionally accepted.

Parasites, such as protozoa, flukes (trematodes), roundworms (nematodes) and tapeworms (cestodes), present symptoms similar to colds, influenza, migraines, cysts, neurological disorders This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g.back pain), signs (e.g. aphasia) and syndromes (e.g. Aicardi syndrome). , anemia, chronic fatigue and constipation. Although most parasites are small in size, some (e.g. tapeworm tapeworm, name for the parasitic flatworms forming the class Cestoda. All tapeworms spend the adult phase of their lives as parasites in the gut of a vertebrate animal (called the primary host). ) can grow up to 33 feet in length and still live undetected within the body for 25 years or more.

Alarmingly, parasites and their eggs can be contracted from any surface that's been touched by another person, such as countertops, shopping carts, handrails and doorknobs. Parasites are also thought to come from undercooked meat (e.g. beef, poultry and pork) and raw or undercooked seafood (e.g. sushi, raw oysters, clams -- even rare, grilled seafood such as tuna) as well as unwashed fruits and vegetables.

Even a kiss on the cheek can transfer parasites that migrate across the skin into the mouth. Simply petting the family dog or cat can facilitate autoinfection au·to·in·fec·tion

 water can lead to exposure, however, swimming in freshwater lakes and rivers can also cause infection.

Since exposure to parasites is inevitable, what can be done for protection? Medical tests are available for identifying some parasitic infections, but even then only about 50 out of the 1,000 different parasites can be detected. Frequent hand washing can guard against parasitic infections, but more can be done.

To protect against protozoa, flukes, roundworms and tapeworms, Thursday, Vaxa International Inc. introduced Parasitin, a broad spectrum Homeopathic Homeopathic
