Re: Blastocystis is not Pathogfenic; read this; we are misinformed. We got better by finding real parasites

There is no such thing as a harmless parasite.

I am glad some of you found relief by eradication of your parasites. To believe that Blastocystis, Endolimax, or other parasites are harmless is foolish and defies common sense. Sure E. histolytica and other parasites are more virulent and actively harmful but Blasto is still having a parasite in your body. It is like having sand in your eye instead of glass or a benign tumor instead of a malignant one. But it is still something that should not be in your body and if left there long enough will cause problems. So called harmless parasites are being implicated in the development of other problems especially arthritic conditions.

First off, a parasite is a foreign animal that lives inside your body. All animals have to eat and they also produce waste. By definition, parasites feeds off your body or leech nutrition from the food you ingest. This is obviously NOT A GOOD THING. Parasites feed through phagocytosis and can use your beneficial bacteria for fuel. They will therefore disrupt the balance of your natural flora by eating certain bacteria strains. This is not going to be a HARMLESS annoyance especially for someone with preexisting digestive problems. Parasites also create waste- that is they crap and fart inside of you. Also NOT A GOOD THING. Increases in certain gases in the digestive track can disrupt motility. Increases in methane or hydrogen can create diarrhea or constipation problems - A BAD THING. Likewise parasite waste is released into your digestive tract and this can cause allergic responses or inflammation.

Another major problem is that the presence of Blastocystis shows that fecal matter was ingested. You have to eat crap to get the Blastocystis. When you crap with parasites in it you are most likely going to eat more than one parasite at the same time. Parasites often infect you in bunches not one at a time. So when you have Blasot you might also have Endolimax or E. histolytica or other parasites as well. Their presence will elicit a response form your immune system and this will weaken your immune system so long as the parasites remain. They are alos associated with HIV patients and diseases that compromise immune systems.

I have had Blastocystis and Endilomax and they were discovered about the same time I developed serious digestive issues. I doubt this is a coincidence. Many people with these parasites have digestive problems that were not there before. would much rather not have them in my system and if you have them I think you agree.
