Low temp, low blood flow, "food allergy" parasite overview!

This gent had his blood flow tested, and it was shown to be reduced after eating. He found a link to low body temperature, parasites and his chronic health problems. Fascinating article! God bless.
EXCERPT:
One Degree Enough?

The question is often asked, "How can a mere one degree affect parasites to the extent that it can incapacitate them?"

Nature already employs heat as a means of defending our bodies against micro-organisms. At such times of infection, she produces fever in the body to overcome them. And when you consider that fever is 100ºF, just over one degree above 98.6ºF, then clearly Nature herself considers one degree sufficient to defeat them.

Besides, it is our human measuring that dictates that one degree is one degree. If microscopic organisms were to use their own measuring standards, I am sure our 'mere' one degree would translate into a thousand of their degrees!

Scientific Confirmation

I then found medical confirmation that micro-organisms can be directly killed by fever in the host animal. From Pyretics and Antipyretics:10

"It has been recognised that syphilis (caused by the parasite Treponema pallidum) and gonorrhoea (caused by the parasite Neisseria gonorrhoea) are heat sensitive and are killed directly by increasing the temperature of the victim. Indeed, before the advent of Antibiotics , treatment used to consist of using injections in order to bring about artificial fevers."

And, recognizing the existing lack of precise knowledge on parasites, Microbial and Parasitic Infection11 quotes (highlighting is mine):

"A pathogen must be able to multiply in or on the host's tissues. This means that the host's tissues must supply appropriate nutrients, atmospheric conditions and temperature for the pathogen's growth…"

Pyretics and Antipyretics[12] states:

"The question of the beneficial value of fever has been the subject of speculation for many years. Fevers could be beneficial to an animal in two ways:

(1) The high body temperatures of fever could exceed the temperature beyond which the infectious micro-organism could live and thereby directly kill it.
(2) Indirectly by affecting one or several biochemical, cellular or humoral components of the body which in turn destroy the micro-organism."

parasite Symptoms

I wanted to know how many symptoms attributable to ' food allergy ' could be caused by parasites. Trawling through the parasitology literature, I uncovered the following catalogue of symptoms regularly found listed in food allergy books:

Long-lived Organisms

Human parasites are extremely long-lived. Strongyloides can remain in the system for up to 30 years61 and Taenia saginata – beef Tapeworms – can live in humans for up to 25 years.[62]

Ascaris lumbricoides is the commonest parasite on the planet and it is estimated that approximately one billion63 people have the worm.

Asthma has been linked to Ascaris after laboratory workers studying them developed the condition,64 – yet further evidence of the allergy link to micro-organisms.

Parasites vary in size, from worms several feet long down to the smallest of all, viruses.
