About 1.2 bil­lion peo­ple are infect­ed with helminths every year. Most of them don’t even know about it. Feel­ing unwell, weak­ness, headache, prob­lems with the gas­troin­testi­nal tract, we are more like­ly to attribute it to stress and poor nutri­tion.

But these and oth­er symp­toms can sig­nal an “alien inva­sion.” How to detect them and how to treat them?

Helminthi­a­sis is an insid­i­ous dis­ease and can be masked behind symp­toms char­ac­ter­is­tic of a wide vari­ety of dis­eases. For exam­ple, if par­a­sites have set­tled in the lungs, a per­son will be dis­turbed by bouts of dry cough, which occurs for no rea­son and does not go away even after long-term treat­ment. If the worms have set­tled in the intestines, the symp­toms can be man­i­fest­ed by abdom­i­nal dis­com­fort, a ten­den­cy to con­sti­pa­tion or diar­rhea, intol­er­ance to fat­ty foods, nau­sea, and swelling. Such com­plaints are not uncom­mon. You can treat, for exam­ple, gas­tri­tis or dys­bac­te­rio­sis for years, with­out real­iz­ing that the cause of the ail­ment is helminths that par­a­sitize in the human body.

What tests will help identify parasites?

If you sus­pect the pres­ence of unin­vit­ed guests in your­self or your child, you should def­i­nite­ly con­sult a doc­tor and under­go an exam­i­na­tion. Diag­nos­ing helminthi­a­sis is not an easy task, because detect­ing par­a­sites is quite prob­lem­at­ic. The most com­mon method is to study feces for eggs of worms. But, unfor­tu­nate­ly, it is inef­fec­tive, because worms have sev­er­al phas­es of devel­op­ment and do not always lay eggs. To iden­ti­fy par­a­sites, you need to take a stool test 3–4 times, and there is no guar­an­tee that the analy­sis will show the real pic­ture.

More accu­rate is the method of immuno­log­i­cal analy­sis of blood. This analy­sis allows you to deter­mine the pres­ence of anti­bod­ies to helminths in the body, helps to deter­mine the type of par­a­sites, their num­ber, to trace the dynam­ics of the devel­op­ment of the process. It is rec­om­mend­ed to take a blood test for worms reg­u­lar­ly, espe­cial­ly if the fam­i­ly has small chil­dren and pets.

How to get rid of parasites?

The best treat­ment is pre­ven­tion. Worms are every­where, every­one can become infect­ed with them, even the most fanat­i­cal adher­ent of clean­li­ness and hygiene. For the pre­ven­tion and treat­ment of helminthi­a­sis, the World Health Orga­ni­za­tion (WHO) rec­om­mends tak­ing alben­da­zole. This drug is con­sid­ered one of the most effec­tive and safe. How­ev­er, it is impor­tant to neu­tral­ize not only the par­a­sites them­selves, but also to restore the body that has suf­fered from their vital activ­i­ty.

Phy­to­com­plex can help reduce intox­i­ca­tion, restore gas­troin­testi­nal func­tion, improve over­all health, and pre­vent re-infec­tion. Wormil Fito. It con­sists of 13 plant com­po­nents that have a com­plex effect, con­tribute to solv­ing the prob­lems of helminthi­as­es and their con­se­quences on the part of the gas­troin­testi­nal tract, liv­er, gall­blad­der and oth­er vital organs. Wormil Phy­to pro­motes the neu­tral­iza­tion and elim­i­na­tion of tox­ins, which is essen­tial for restor­ing good health.
