Parasites are organisms that live and develop at the expense of other organisms. Living in a person, they consume nutrients and vitamins intended for their hosts.
Waste products are the released poisons and toxins. A person infected with parasites systematically loses the nutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the body. In addition, he will experience an additional burden processing the waste products released by unwanted cohabitants.
More than 100 types of parasites can live in the human body. They can be of various shapes and sizes from microscopic unicellular to worms several meters long. According to the WHO, parasites and the consequences of their life in the human body cause about 80 percent of all human diseases. According to some reports, up to 95% of the population of our country are carriers of various forms of unpleasant cohabitants, so we can safely say that every person encounters parasites, whether he wants to or not.
