This post discusses various parasite tests and reveals which ones are best to detect worms, protists, bacteria, yeasts and molds.
Dr. Hermann R. Bueno of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in London stated, “parasites are the missing diagnosis in the genesis [origin] of many chronic health problems, including diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and endocrine system.”
Parasitic infections are the main cause of all chronic disease. Nonetheless, most health care providers don’t believe that parasites are involved in disease because they lack accurate tests and are taught that parasites are strictly a problem in under developed countries.
Yet, even in developed countries we are exposed to parasites through:
- contaminated water
- increased use of daycare centers
- pets living in the home
- eating uncooked or undercooked meats
- eating raw fruits and vegetables
- increased travel to and from countries where parasitic infections are common
- biting insects like ticks, mosquitoes, horse flies, ticks, spiders
- the skin, mouth or nose and by sexual contact.
Parasites are abundant in any environment, but the use of antibiotics is the biggest factor that disrupts our microbiome (our natural defense), making us more susceptible to a parasitic infestation.
Common symptoms of parasites include fatigue, insomnia, impaired cognitive function (poor memory, lack of focus), anxiety and / or depression, poor digestive health (constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome), muscle stiffness, weakness, spasms and / or pain, anemia, allergic reactions, skin lesions, back pain, an inability to gain weight or obesity, and a weakened immune system.
Parasites are present throughout the world and are the main cause of all disease. Our standard of healthcare has neglected this and instead promotes immunosuppressive maintenance pharmaceuticals which supports a multi-trillion dollar healthcare industry where patients suffer with ongoing sickness, disability and early death.
Common Parasite Tests:
1. Fecal or Stool Tests
Stool tests are used to detect parasites that cause diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps and other digestive issues. It is important to collect three or more stool samples on separate days but even so, this will not guarantee an accurate test result. The reality is that most stool test results do not identify the parasites that are causing disease.
If a stool test result does not show the presence of parasites, the health care professional may choose to send another sample to a different lab.
Stool tests look for parasite eggs or the presence of the parasites themselves. Samples of stool are placed in a container with a liquid preservative. They should be refrigerated and delivered to the lab or health care provider’s office as soon as possible.
2. Endoscopy/Colonoscopy
Endoscopy and colonoscopy tests are ordered when stool exams fail to reveal the cause of diarrhea, cramping, gas and other digestive symptoms. A tube is inserted into the mouth (endoscopy) or rectum (colonoscopy) where the doctor will look for inflammation, cysts, polyps, diverticulitis, growths, tumors and other abnormalities.
An upper endoscopy examines the esophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine while a small-bowel endoscopy examines the entire small intestine.
A colonoscopy examines the large intestine and rectum.
You can do a search for “endoscopy or colonoscopy and worms” on YouTube and find many short videos where doctors show videos of worms discovered while preforming these tests.
Sadly, medically trained practitioners are not actively looking for parasites but instead are more concerned with areas of inflammation. It is assumed that the immune system is the problem and not parasites.
3. Blood Tests
Some parasitic infections can be detected through blood tests. There are two types of blood tests that a doctor may order: serology and blood smear.
Serology is used to detect antibodies or parasite antigens produced when the body is infected with a parasite and the immune system is attempting to fight off the invader.
Blood smears are used to looks for parasites in the blood that cause diseases like filariasis (immature small roundworms), malaria, or babesiosis (caused by a protist). A drop of blood is placed on a microscope slide, which is then stained and examined under a microscope.
4. X-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, Computerized Axial Tomography scan (CAT) and Ultrasound
These tests are used to look for parasitic diseases that cause cysts and lesions in organs and the central nervous system.
5. DNA Tests
PCR is a DNA test that amplifies small parts of DNA that are specific to a certain parasite and are thus used to identify a parasite. Currently, there are many parasite home test kits available but once again, these tests are not accurate. Because a very small sample is tested, the offending parasites often go undetected.
6. Urine Tests
Urine can be tested for the presence of metabolites and toxins produced by a variety of parasites.
7. Energy Testing
The study of biophysics shows that every living thing has an energy field around it. Infections and toxins can weaken our energy field. When the correct remedy is brought into our energy field, our energy becomes stronger and balanced, which indicates that this specific supplement or treatment is helpful for us. If a supplement or remedy is placed in our energy field and it does not balance or strengthen our energy, then that specific item is not helpful for us.
There are thousands of different types of parasites that can make us sick and as things currently stand, we do not have good tests to identify them. So, our best option at this time is to use energy testing to help us identify which treatments and supplements are most helpful for our recovery.
What types of energy testing are available?
Autonomic response testing (ART), acupuncture meridian assessment (AMA), Vega testing, EAV testing, applied kinesiology and muscle testing are all examples of energy testing.
Which practitioners are skilled at energy testing?
Chiropractors are often skilled at applied kinesiology. Naturopathic physicians and other integrative practitioners such as doctors, acupuncturists and nurse practitioners may offer AMA, EAV, Vega or other energy testing services.
It is important that the licensed health care practitioner you choose has a great reputation and a lot of experience. They should use energy testing daily in their practice.
It is best to contact a clinic by phone or email and ask if they will energy test you for parasite treatments. Also, ask if the practitioner has samples of parasitic and fungal drugs in their office. If they don’t, you will have to ask your medical doctor to prescribe samples of the most commonly used parasite and fungal treatments and bring them with you to your energy testing appointment. If you are being supported by a practitioner while you are treating parasites, they will likely be willing to energy test you.
Preparing to Treat Parasites
Before treating parasites, it is important to follow the Live Disease Free diet and support the body. This preparation supports immune modulation because the parasites become less active, inflammation decreases, and symptoms improve. The parasite treatments will be better tolerated and they will work more effectively if this prep work if done before treating parasites.
There are real solutions to recover from parasites today!
To restore health, we must focus on treating the cause of inflammation, which are parasites. First, identify the enemy (parasites), then support the body and treat the parasites while following a holistic approach. When parasitic infections are treated effectively, we can overcome inflammation or disease.
