what about possible parasites? I went to Mexico and my stomach has been very loud/noisy for a month.

There is no doubt that fasting is beneficial, as I’ve tried it myself. But does the body actually "purge" itself of toxins as we have been told? Are they flushed out of tissues and dumped into the bloodstream? Where do they go? What percentages are excreted from the skin? The bowel? The lungs? The sinuses? Is it even measurable? Are there examples of blood chemistry before, during and after a long fast? Is the blood full of stress-related chemicals before the fast? Does the blood become "dirty" with toxins and perhaps microbes/parasites/pathogens during the cleansing stage (when we experience the headaches, chills, fever, nausea, etc)? Does the blood become "clean" again after the fast has ended? Most importantly, where has this all been proven? Everyone has an opinion, but I’m interested in knowing where I can find the FACTS.
Definitions of fasts:
Dry Fasting: No food, no liquid. Very challenging and requires close supervision. Obviously not for extended periods, but a powerful type of fast (supposedly).

Water Fasting: No food, only purified water. Also very challenging. Produces hard and fast cleansing but also causes very intense side effects. For more experienced fasters.

Juice fasting: Pure fresh fruit juices and purified water. Provides nutrients in a pre-digested format, yet allows digestive system to rest and heal. High-energy fast that does not require faster to conserve energy (quite the opposite…you take stairs two at a time!). Side effects are mild.

I’ll trust personal experience over inexperienced "professional opinion" any day. As I said, EVERYONE has an opinion…even doctors. I’m just interested in what has been proven. No conclusions necessary. Just raw data.

I’ve heard various opinions of detoxifying your body by doing a colon cleansing…this apparently rids the body of parasites that prevent you from staying healthy and losing weight…If this really is a good thing, where can I find a trust-worthy regimen for this?

I was just wondering how fish get parasites? I know it’s from poor living conditions and such; however, where does the parasite come from exactly? Do they just spawn out of nothing from the dirty water? I mean, it’s not like they’re floating around the house and suddenly decide to drop into a fish tank because it’s dirty. Just wondering. Thanks.

The parasites are already over a third, and they reproduce faster.

Will they vote for whoever promises to give them more free stuff, stealing from those who work?

What will happen once the last of those who work has left the country?

Someone said that pregnant women throw up because that their bodies want to reject any food that might contain parasites during this time when their immune system is weak. Is this true? What criteria does the body use to determine what foods are suspect?

My kitten has been checked a couple times for parasites and tests come back negative but I catch him sometimes rubbing his bottom on the floor, is there another reason they do this? When the poop is tested is all poop affected or can some piece have worms and some pieces not causing a false negative test?

Predators feed on large prey, whereas parasites feed on small prey.

Parasites live on or within their prey.

Predators kill their hosts immediately, whereas parasites usually do not.

Parasites never kill their prey.

Parasites only attack primarily weakened or old organisms.

Do parasites go hand-in-hand with typical diseases or infections, such as the flu or a viral infection?
Or do parasites only have to do with parasitic organisms that attach to hosts?

Do they get tape worms, other worms from meat they eat, cleaning up kennels or horse barns? How are parasites passed to people? What do they do that cause them to be infested? I was watching a bug show and it didn’t explain this part of it so now I’m asking you!

I have a pet grasshopper in my bowl where I have put in soil and moss. It’s been almost a month now and suddenly there are tiny little white bugs everywhere and they are acting as parasites on the grasshopper. I saw them crawling around and out from her body. (sorry if it sounds gross)

I don’t know what they are. I wonder if they are mites? How do I get rid of them? How do I save her? Is my room now infected?

Bear Grylls from Man vs Wild can tell if some insect or fish or living organism have parasites or not. Sometimes he eats them cooked and safe from parasites but he also eat things raw, so won’t he get parasites from them? So how can Bear tell the difference if something has parasites and be cooked or be eaten raw?
