Humans consume food products to replenish stored energy for life activities. But you can imagine that a person often becomes a great target for the simplest living things. Uninvited "tenants" can permanently use the owner as a living vessel, providing food, shelter and comfortable conditions. If the parasites have settled in the human body, the symptoms of infection can easily be confused with the signs of some diseases, such as colds, gastritis, pneumonia, etc. v.
The most common symptoms of parasitic diseases
Parasitic life forms survive and thrive at the expense of man, while irreparable damage is inflicted on his health, for the lion's share of nutrients and vitamins goes to "occupants" humbly hides in one of the internal organs: intestines, lungs. , heart, liver, joints, etc. v.

Gradually, the amount of toxins in the blood increases, the child's body is poisoned with the waste products of helminths, manifested in the form of reduced immunity and permanent diseases, allergies of unknown origin, biological disorders, body exhaustion.
