:A Closer Look At
Parasites
Tapeworm:
Tapeworms are similar to hookworms. They are intestinal parasites that can be transmitted through soil and fecal matter, but most often are ingested by humans through undercooked meats that have not been adequately cooked to kill the tapeworm eggs. The tapeworms set up shop in the muscles of the host animal after being ingested through the feeding of grass or contaminated vegetables. The animal is eventually slaughtered and becomes food for us as humans.
The human host will ingest the tapeworm egg and as digestion of the food occurs the egg will eventually hatch and grow from a larva to an adult while feeding on blood and nutrients via the intestinal wall. The adults, being hermaphrodites, can then produce more eggs which will be released from the body through the stool. The eggs can linger around the toilet bowl or can even be flushed down the commode where they can infest the soil through sewage and irrigation water, thus, beginning the cycle all over again.
The symptoms of a tapeworm infection are very difficult to spot as there are often no outward symptoms to
indicate an infection for a very long period of time. This can lead to the tapeworm growing up to 30 feet in small, segmented lengths
resulting in a bloated stomach and malnutrition, amongst other conditions. These parasites have been known to live for a few decades if
left untreated.

Hookworm:
The hookworm is transmitted through fecal matter. The eggs will hatch within about a week and grow into larvae which can live for close to a month within the soil of the earth or the feces which bore them. Upon contact with humans, usually through the foot, the worm will work its way through the host’s veins, into the heart and eventually the lungs. After entering the lungs they are sometimes expelled through mucus during a cough or simply swallowed by themselves. This gives the worm a one way ticket into the small intestine.
After setting up residence in the intestine the worm will attach itself to the intestinal wall and begin feeding
on the host’s blood. If left undetected and untreated the hookworm can reproduce resulting in a serious intestinal infestation. This can
lead to anemia, extreme abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue and even a bizarre hunger for inedible things like dirt and mud.
The life cycle of the worm begins anew when the host releases more eggs through bowel movements.

Whipworm
:
The type of worm commonly known as the "whip worm" belongs to the genus TRICHURIS, and is a common parasite both among humans and animals. This genus is composed of at least 60 separate species that primarily prey upon mammals, with some being more common than others.
Whipworms are named for their whip-like appearance, and are transmitted
primarily through the ingestion of larvae and eggs on infected foods such as fruits and vegetables. The larvae, when ingested, migrate into the
large intestine and the cecum where they fasten to the intestinal walls and feed upon the host's blood. In addition to eating larvae, the host
may also have ingested the eggs of the whipworm, which will hatch in approximately 3 months if not completely expelled from the intestinal
tract.

Whipworm Infestation:
This colonic mucosal surface is erythematous because of the enormous infestation by Trichuris trichiuria
organisms (whipworms). A heavy infestation of these helminths can lead to colitis with hemorrhage.

Ascaris lumbricoides worms:
This is a ball of Ascaris lumbricoides worms removed from the colon of an adult. This is a heavy
infection. Though these worms are disgusting, they produce minimal disease in most infected persons.

Microfilaria worms:
Here are microfilaria. These tiny worms circulate in the bloodstream. There are several species with slightly different clinical characteristics, but they are spread by mosquitos. These microfilaria happen to be Wuchereria bancrofti.
*************************************
Arthropods:
Lice are arthropods of the class Insecta which generally inhabit hair and bite the human host for a blood meal. At the left is the head louse (Pediculus humanis capitis) and at the right is the crab (pubic) louse (Phthirus pubis).
*************************************
Scabies mite:
This is a scabies mite. The official name is Sarcoptes scabiei. These little critters burrow in the epidermis, usually on the hands but sometimes elsewhere, and produce itching along the linear burrows. These lesions are often excoriated because of the itching.
These are but a few of the parasites that our bodies could be hosting.

Information regarding; allergies, medication, lactating and pregnant women.
Allergies are frequently related to toxicity in the body. If someone has serious constipation or infection with parasites, allergies will frequently begin to develop in the body. Anyone with an allergic tendency should read the ingredients on the label of Harmony, Experience and Clear and acknowledge any known allergies to any of the ingredients. If you are not sure, you may want to consult your allergist or physician. Many people who initially have a negative reaction to an ingredient in Harmony, find that after a number of months on Experience digestive cleanse, they can take Harmony with no reaction at all. Cleansing the body of parasites and auto-detoxification frequently decreases or eliminates allergic tendencies. NOTE: Check with your doctor or health practitioner for approval before you use ANY product to which you may be allergic to.
