While undergoing a parasite detox cleanse it is important to support our herbal Parasite Detox Tonic with a proper anti parasite diet Many resources are available on how to get rid of parasites with herbs but not as many people discuss what to eat when consuming these anti parasitic herbs and what you eat makes a big difference In reality there is no universal diet for everyone as diet varies with age lifestyle environment allergies genetic history and so many other factors Therefore we will not say exactly what anti parasite diet to eat but rather will share some of the most beneficial dietary tips and meal plan examples that you can consider when doing a parasite diet and parasite cleanse We ll also include some parasite cleanse diet recipes Keep in mind that these are not strict rules and you need to use your own judgment based on your personal dietary preferences when following the parasites diet The main focus for an anti parasite diet is including anti parasitic foods and avoiding foods that contribute to a parasitic environment It is also important to avoid certain negative food habits like overeating as a part of an anti parasites diet How Do You Follow the Parasite Detox Diet To follow the Parasite Detox Diet the most important thing to do is to adhere to these principles intended to help support the elimination of parasites Eat Anti Parasitic Foods The most important tip to follow on a Parasite Detox Diet is to include anti parasitic foods in your meals These are foods that have anti parasitic properties and can help eliminate parasites from your body Ideally you will include at least one of these foods in each of your meals Garlic Onion Honey Pumpkin Seeds Dates Pomegranate Papaya Seeds Dandelion Greens Lettuce Broccoli Kale Pineapple Coconut Carrots Sunflower Seeds Fermented Foods Stone Ground Mustard Coconut Oil Apple Cider Vinegar Turmeric Ginger Cinnamon Cayenne Pepper Chili Spices Curry Spices Cloves Thyme Oregano Neem When doing a parasite cleanse aim to include more of the foods in this anti parasite diet foods list than you usually would eat This will help to support the effective detoxification and elimination of intestinal parasites provided that other aspects of the diet and protocol are also adhered to ZUMA NUTRITION Parasite Cleanse Diet

One of the most important things to do when following a Parasite Detox Diet is to avoid all added sugars Many microorganisms including various types of parasites feed on sugar as a primary source of energy Keeping your sugar intake at a minimum can help to starve these organisms and weaken them making them more vulnerable to anti parasitic herbs and foods ZUMA NUTRITION Avoid Added Sugars Added sugars are in many foods and we often consume them without realizing it Because of this it is essential that you read the labels on foods and check the ingredients for added sugar Some common foods that often have added sugar include Soda Energy Drinks Sports Drinks Sauces Condiments Salad Dressings Fruit Juices Teas Cereals Yeast Bread Candy Grain based Desserts Dairy Desserts Syrups Toppings Packaged And Processed Foods If you are following a Parasite Detox Diet it is best to focus on whole foods in their natural form and avoid added sugars We recommend limiting your sugar intake to the morning when you can eat a small amount of low glycemic fruit Once the parasitic infection is gone fruit can be a very healthy part of a nutritious diet However it is recommended to limit fruit intake on the Parasite Detox Diet to starve the parasites of their major fuel source We also recommend avoiding stevia xylitol erythritol and other sweeteners on the Parasite Detox Diet Make Sure to Consume Plenty of Fiber It is important to eat fiber rich foods during your parasite cleanse as these really help with elimination Fiber provides the lubrication the colon requires to function properly and helps to support natural and smooth elimination Fiber falls into two categories soluble and insoluble Soluble fiber serves many functions which include providing a conducive environment for friendly bacteria slowing the absorption rate of sugars lowering serum cholesterol levels and binding to heavy metals dumped by the bloodstream into the colon Examples of soluble fiber foods include apples prunes figs raspberries carrots oat bran kidney beans lima beans or supplemental psyllium husks Insoluble fiber complements soluble fiber by increasing bulk in the waste preventing impacted bowel pockets diverticuli reducing the length of time waste stays in the body and absorbing bile acid released during digestion Examples of insoluble fiber are brown rice quinoa millet rice whole wheat raw spinach Brussels sprouts and flaxseed

Chia seeds Chickpeas Figs Prunes Psyllium husks Beans Broccoli Flaxseed Berries Lentils Avocados Whole grains Apples Carrots Brown rice Bran cereal Oatmeal Pears Bananas Beets Artichoke Brussels Sprouts Quinoa Popcorn Almonds Sweet potatoes Eat Low Starch Vegetables While vegetables are an essential food group for any healthy diet including the Parasite Detox Diet try to minimize starchy vegetables while following this diet Examples of high starch vegetables to reduce during this diet include White Potatoes Yams Sweet Potatoes Corn Peas Beans You do not have to remove these vegetables from your diet completely However don t eat too many of them and favor mostly green low starch vegetables Focus on eating nutrient dense vegetables that have lower calories Here are some examples of low starch vegetables to include in your diet during this cleanse Spinach Dandelion Greens Kale Cherry Tomatoes Bell Peppers Zucchini Cucumber Cauliflower Brussels Sprouts Broccoli When shopping for these vegetables buy organic and cook them with good oils Bad oils can make any healthy meal into an inflammatory nightmare for more information on how to find healthy cooking oils read this blog ZUMA NUTRITION Foods that are naturally high in fiber

Page 12

While it is recommended to avoid fruits that are high in sugar it is okay to include some low sugar fruits in the diet In fact some low sugar fruits like lemons limes and coconuts actually contain powerful anti parasitic properties It is recommended to remove these high sugar fruits from the diet entirely during your 90 day parasite cleanse Bananas Mangos Cantaloupe Grapes Figs These fruits can be included during your cleanse daily Lemons Limes Coconut Pineapple Has Strong Antiparasitic Properties Papaya Seeds Has Strong Antiparasitic Properties Pomegranate Avocados These fruits should be eaten in moderation in the morning before any proteins Blueberries Raspberries Strawberries Blackberries Cherries Apples Dates while dates are high in natural sugar they also contain antiparasitic properties We recommend eating before a protein because protein requires some time to digest which simple sugars can make more difficult In the morning you are in a fasted state which is ideal for consuming simple sugars ZUMA NUTRITION Eat Fruits That Are Low In Sugar

What Is A Parasite ZUMA NUTRITION Everything You Need to Know About Parasites A parasite is defined as an organism that feeds on the nutrients of a host There are many different species that are classified as being parasitic and many that can infect humans When we have a parasitic infection the parasite s may steal nutrients from our food and rob us of receiving proper nutrition They also release their toxic waste inside us which can also contribute to poor health The combination of stealing our nutrients and releasing toxic waste inside us causes parasites to be a major threat to our body s immune system which relies on nutrients from food to function optimally How Common Are Parasites Parasites are incredibly common much more than you might think In fact it s estimated that around 40 percent of all animal species are parasites So it should be no surprise that humans are also at risk of parasitic infection Yet many people hold an inaccurate view on parasites that they only exist in tropical countries or in third world countries with poor sanitation While parasites are certainly more prevalent in these places they exist in every ecosystem and are abundant in the United States as well The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC has even acknowledged what they call neglected parasitic infections NPIs and say that these parasitic infections in the United States need to be seen as priorities for public health action based on the numbers of people infected the severity of the illnesses or our ability to prevent and treat them The five targeted NPIs identified by the CDC include Chagas disease cysticercosis toxocariasis toxoplasmosis and trichomoniasis CDC Director Tom Frieden stated that Parasitic infections affect millions around the world causing seizures blindness infertility heart failure and even death They re more common in the US than people realize and yet there is so much we don t know about them We need research to learn more about these infections and action to better prevent and treat them

Page 25

In the United States alone more than 300 000 people are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi the parasite that causes Chagas disease and more than 300 infected babies are born every year There are at least 1 000 hospitalizations for symptomatic cysticercosis per year in the United States At least 14 percent of the U S population has been exposed to Toxocara the parasite that causes toxocariasis and each year at least 70 people most of them children are blinded by resulting eye disease More than 60 million people in the United States are chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis new infections in pregnant women can lead to birth defects and infections in those with compromised immune systems can be fatal The Trichomonas parasite is extremely common affecting 3 7 million people in the United States Trichomoniasis can cause pregnancy problems and increase the risk of other sexually transmitted infections including HIV ZUMA NUTRITION As you can see parasites are quite common despite the popular myth that they only exist in third world countries Not only are they common but they can cause serious health issues especially if the infection is left untreated Oftentimes parasitic infections go unnoticed with few symptoms but many times the infections cause serious illnesses including seizures blindness pregnancy complications heart failure and even death Anyone regardless of race or economic status can become infected with parasites How Do We Get Infected With Parasites Parasites are everywhere they can come from a variety of sources and they are often microscopic so it is incredibly difficult to see or prevent coming into contact with parasites or parasite eggs Parasites are also highly contagious especially when you don t wash your hands often or practice good personal hygiene Animals are often hosts to numerous parasites and so if you have pets it is inevitable that you will become exposed to them These types of infections are called zoonotic diseases and they are very common Scientists estimate that more than 6 out of every 10 known infectious diseases in people can be spread from animals and 3 out of every 4 new or emerging infectious diseases in people come from animals Not only owning animals as pets but eating animals particularly raw fish is a common way to get a parasite You can also get parasites from eating unwashed and sometimes even washed fruits and vegetables

Page 26

ZUMA NUTRITION You come into contact with parasites from touching other people grabbing public handrails or doorknobs and drinking unsanitary water Exposure to child and institutional care centers schools doctors offices hospitals and so on is another common source of parasites You can get them from coming into contact with feces walking barefoot on contaminated soil and you can even breathe in parasite eggs Basically there is no way to avoid coming into contact with them unless you live a totally isolated and sanitized life and even then there are no promises While parasites are unavoidable we can get rid of them We can cleanse our bodies of them a few times a year and we can boost our immune systems with a healthy diet and lifestyle so that we are better equipped to defend ourselves against parasitic infection By cleansing our bodies and eating healthy we not only reduce populations of parasites but we create an internal environment that does not allow them to thrive What Are the Most Common Types of Parasitic Infections While some parasites are easily identified such as tapeworms roundworms and hookworms most parasites that people suffer from are actually microscopic bugs such as amoebas or flukes Though the list of parasites that infect humans is extensive there are three main types of parasites These are Protozoa Examples include the single celled organism known as Plasmodium A protozoa can only multiply or divide within the host Helminths These are worm parasites such as roundworm pinworm trichina spiralis tapeworm and fluke Ectoparasites These live on rather than in their hosts They include lice and fleas Symptoms of Parasites Parasites can pass on a wide variety of conditions so symptoms are hard to predict Oftentimes there are also no symptoms or symptoms that appear long after infection but the parasite can still be transmitted to another person who may also develop symptoms There are many types of parasite and symptoms can vary widely Sometimes these may resemble the symptoms of other conditions such as a hormone deficiency pneumonia or food poisoning

Page 27

Skin bumps or rashes Weight loss increased appetite or both Abdominal pain Diarrhea Nausea or vomiting Sleeping problems Anemia Aches and pains Allergies Weakness and general feeling unwell Fever Gas or bloating Dysentery loose stools containing blood and mucus Rash or itching around the rectum or vulva Stomach pain or tenderness Feeling tired fatigued Passing a worm in your stool How to Test for Parasites There are many different lab tests and different ways to test for parasites and the kind of test s your health care provider might order for you will be based on your signs and symptoms any other medical conditions you may have and your travel history etc Due to their small size and to their elusive nature diagnosis of parasites can be difficult so often times multiple tests are performed to get the most accurate reading Different Types of Parasite Tests The most common types of parasite tests include A fecal stool exam also called an ova and parasite test O P This test is used to find parasites that cause diarrhea loose or watery stools cramping flatulence gas and other abdominal illnesses The CDC recommends that three or more stool samples collected on separate days be examined The O P test looks for parasite ova eggs or the adult stage of the parasite Typically someone doing an O P test will put small amounts of their stool into special containers with preservative fluid Specimens not collected in a preservative fluid should be refrigerated but not frozen until delivered to the lab or they may become unable to be used for diagnosis ZUMA NUTRITION Common symptoms that might occur include

Page 28

An endoscopy is another method of parasite testing that is used to find parasites that cause diarrhea loose or watery stools cramping flatulence gas and other abdominal illnesses This test is often used when stool exams do not reveal the cause of your abdominal symptoms This test is a procedure in which a tube is inserted into the mouth endoscopy or rectum colonoscopy so that the doctor usually a gastroenterologist can examine the intestine This test looks for the parasite or other abnormalities that may be causing your signs and symptoms Blood Tests Some but not all parasitic infections can be detected by testing your blood Blood tests only look for specific types of parasite infection as there is no blood test that will look for all parasitic infections There are two general kinds of blood tests that a doctor may order Serology This test is used to look for antibodies or for parasite antigens produced when the body is infected with a parasite and the immune system is trying to fight off the invader This test is done by getting a blood sample and sending it to a lab Blood Smear This test is used to look for parasites that are found in the blood By looking at a blood smear under a microscope parasitic diseases such as filariasis malaria or babesiosis can be diagnosed This test is done by placing a drop of blood on a microscope slide The slide is then stained and examined under a microscope X ray Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI scan Computerized Axial Tomography scan CAT These tests are less commonly used for parasite diagnosis but are sometimes used to look for some parasitic diseases that may cause lesions in the organs ZUMA NUTRITION Endoscopy Colonoscopy

Page 29

The problem with parasite tests is that they are not always capable of diagnosing a parasitic infection and in fact they are often quite ineffective Certain tests do an excellent job at testing for certain types of parasites but there are so many types of parasites that simply cannot be diagnosed with standard testing and the tests that we do have available also have their issues So even when a test does not identify any parasites or parasite eggs it is not necessarily proof that there is no parasitic infection ZUMA NUTRITION The Problem with Parasite Tests The O P exam is by far the most common form of parasite test but many intestinal parasites are not reliably detectable by the O P exam The O P exam also involves looking for parasites or for parasite eggs in stool Not only does this require that one out of the three stool samples submitted contains some evidence of parasites which it very well may not it also requires that those observing the stool under the microscope be able to find this evidence if it is there The biggest issue however is that typically they are not even looking for the right thing If you analyze the test results of a common O P test you ll find that what they are actually screening for are bacteria The report of the O P exam is divided into two sections Microbiology and Parasitology All the tests for specific organisms of any kind fall under the Microbiology section Here they most commonly test for Salmonella Shigella Plesiomonas Campylobacter Yersinia Aeromonas Vibrio Coli All of which are actually forms of bacteria not parasites Under Parasitology the section where we could reasonably assume that they test for all the most common parasites roundworm whipworm hookworm 6 different kinds of tapeworms liver flukes intestinal flukes toxocara trichini filarial worms like strongyloides protozoal organisms like giardia and several types of intestinal amoeba they actually only look to see if there is any evidence of parasites such as eggs or tissue from parasite bodies in the small stool sample provided If they didn t see anything they simply write on the test NO OVA OR PARASITES SEEN This only means that they didn t see any parasite eggs or parasites it does not actually mean that you do not have any parasites So the O P test which is the most common form of parasite test as well as the endoscopy colonoscopy rely on someone looking for parasites in your body and basing whether or not you have an infection on whether or not they were able to see any evidence of parasites

A parasite may not have shed any eggs in the stool sample you submitted so there may be nothing to see Many organisms go through latent cycles which means there may be times perhaps even for months where they are not reproducing e g not excreting eggs If a parasite did shed eggs in your stool did you scoop up those particular eggs in the tiny portion you extracted as a sample Most organisms secrete eggs in line with their reproductive cycles and the mass of eggs tends more to be condensed together than diffused apart If they were condensed on the bottom and the sample was scooped from the top you could easily have missed all of the eggs Even if you managed to get some eggs into the sample the lab tech would then need to take a portion of that sample out with a dropper and dilute it in a stabilizing gel to make it visible on the microscope slide Were there any eggs in their sample of your sample Were there enough eggs after the dilution to still see any in a visual examination ZUMA NUTRITION The issue with this is As you can see there are a lot of issues with parasite testing and unfortunately parasite tests are often not very effective This doesn t necessarily mean that you shouldn t get a test if you are experiencing symptoms or are concerned that you may have a parasite It just means that testing for parasites with traditional methods is not always effective and if a test comes back negative it doesn t mean that you don t have a parasite Given that parasites are virtually everywhere in nature and that they infect more than half the world s population it is safe to say that we have or will have a parasitic infection at some point One of the best things we can do is simply to undergo a parasite detox cleanse to eliminate what parasites may be affecting our health Thankfully when done properly a parasite cleanse is safe and effective and uses only natural foods and herbs to remedy the infection
