Beware, This Could Happen to you,
Unwelcome Internal Travelers

by Suzanne M. Skinner, Ph.D.., RNC, HHP

There is hardly a subject that fascinates me more than worms and parasites in the human body. When friends speak of earthquakes, I speak of worms. When neighbors speak of grandchildren, I speak of worms.

My waiting room is lined with specimen jars containing my prized possessions.

Many years prior to setting up my holistic health practice, it was inconceivable to me that we could have worms, Oh, perhaps in some far away foreign country where the sanitation was poor, but not in the United States and especially not me.…….well, I was in for a big surprise.

I had read a little article in an obscure magazine recommending a special concoction to release worms from the colon. For some time, I had been taking colonics and had never seen a worm. However, the article stated that some intestinal worms have teeth with which to dig in and hang onto the walls of the colon, thus making them immune to passing from the colonic action.

After taking the recommended remedy, I began to feel strange in my middle. Thinking it was my imagination; I went about my studies for the day. That night I took my regular colonics and felt I had passed far more than the usual amount of bulk, which seemed to come out endlessly. After an hour, I looked down and literally froze. I backed up, hit the wall and ran from the bathroom.

Some time passed before I found the courage to take a second look. I peered slowly around the corner, took a deep breath and looked in the toilet. There were hundreds of them, ivory-colored, and thick as pens, ranging from two to 42 inches in length. The bowl was full of them, and they were transparent enough that I could see their Inner parts.

This nightmare was repeated for six months. Day after day, month alter month, I continued to pass six to seven hundred worms daily.

After researching "orthodox" medical treatment, I realized that the worms might live and I might not. My chiropractor recommended supplements to "digest" them. However, the infestation was too large. I tried every remedy there was, to no avail. Finally after six months, I found a grapefruit seed extract that worked. Unfortunately, the FDA has since removed this brand from the market, apparently because it also turned around most prostate trouble.

This ordeal amazed me. Having always been the picture of vitality, I asked myself, how can this be? With most parasites, there are very few symptoms, if any at all. The only symptom I had was bloating around the middle.

After several years of research, I have found that there are thousands of varieties of worms, parasites, protozoa and amoebas. After years of Infestation, severe breakdowns occur in a patient's health.

With time, symptoms may increase. Symptoms include diarrhea (sometimes alternating with constipation), and ashen complexion, gas, a gurgling or growling stomach, an increase or decrease of appetite, anorexia, bulimia, an inability to gain or to lose weight, low grade fevers, coughing, hyperactivity or lethargy, grinding or teeth at night (bruxism), fatigue after eating, allergies, asthma, snoring, abdominal pains, restlessness, anemia, nausea, dizziness, seizures, rectal itching, insomnia, vaginal itching, shortness of breath, intestinal bleeding, hair loss, low grade infection, blood sugar problems, colon blockages, tumor-like masses, irritability (especially around a full moon, when most parasites are active), hair thinning or loss, bad breath, body odor, mucous in stools, joint pain, abdominal pains, rashes and a multitude of others. If you have parasites, you may have one or more of these symptoms or none at all. By the time symptoms appear, breakdown has occurred.

In my practice, I always find parasites and worms associated with the following diseases: Diabetes, hypoglycemia, juvenile diabetes, anorexia, asthma, depression, anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, AIDS, cancer, tumors, bulimia, colitis, epilepsy, hyperactivity syndrome, learning disabilities, baldness, prostate trouble, appendicitis (the appendix is a favorite place for parasites), elevated white blood counts, Hodgkin's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), psoriasis, some eczema, leukemia, lymphoma, arthritis, leprosy, ulcerative colitis, low hemoglobin, poor blood quality, iron deficiencies and most bowel disorders.

In diabetes, worms are in the pancreas. With epilepsy, they are in the brain. In multiple sclerosis, they are what is eating the myelin sheaths off the exposed nerve endings (it is a misconception that the immune system of the body is attacking itself in MS).

Parasites are seldom picked up on blood tests, as they largely travel at night, not in the day when blood tests are generally given. Since they live in the liver, pancreas, lungs, bile ducts, brain, muscles, joints, appendix, small Intestine, large Intestine, prostate, uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina, and gall bladder, they are difficult to detect.

Unfortunately, too, allopathic medicine deals largely with the relief and/or the masking of symptoms, rather than eliminating the root causes of symptoms.

That is why it is important to eliminate these parasites from the body before there is a full-blown disease such as diabetes or MS.

Parasites and worms feed on the good nutrients from food, and their excrement then circulates in the blood stream.
