Lesson Five (b)
“Bad Bugs” - Parasites
![Page 2: Hompes Method - Amazon Simple Storage Service · Hompes Method Practitioner Training Level II ... •Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is: “A non-mutual symbiotic relationship](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5c929d6709d3f2195d8bab8b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Parasites Intro
• Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is:
“A non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense
of the other, the host.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasite

Parasites Intro
• Many types of parasite exist in Nature and it’s wellworth reading the Wikipedia write-up.
• We’re interested in endoparasites – those livinginside the body – and specifically in the humanintestine.

Parasites Intro
• There are two “size” classifications:
– “Macroparasites”, which are basically the different types of worms.
– “Microparasites”, which are the protozoan and amoebic parasites.
![Page 5: Hompes Method - Amazon Simple Storage Service · Hompes Method Practitioner Training Level II ... •Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is: “A non-mutual symbiotic relationship](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5c929d6709d3f2195d8bab8b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Parasites – Medical Attitudes
• “They are tropical, developing world problems andonly cause acute symptoms anyway. If you comeback from holiday with diarrhea, we may test you ifthe symptoms are bad enough.”
– Unfortunately, that’s really the bottom line.
![Page 6: Hompes Method - Amazon Simple Storage Service · Hompes Method Practitioner Training Level II ... •Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is: “A non-mutual symbiotic relationship](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5c929d6709d3f2195d8bab8b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Parasites - Reality
• Can be acquired virtually anywhere and they don’t jump out of people when they cross the border!
– Food - meats, salad veg, sushi, seafood
– Water - less developed countries
– Skin - many worm larvae enter via the skin
– Pets / farms - petting, licking face, etc.
![Page 7: Hompes Method - Amazon Simple Storage Service · Hompes Method Practitioner Training Level II ... •Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is: “A non-mutual symbiotic relationship](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5c929d6709d3f2195d8bab8b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Parasites - Prevalence
• Nearly everyone we test has a parasite, bacterial imbalance or fungal issue. Worldwide, it’s believed 4-5 billion people carry at least one intestinal parasite. These parasites may not cause overt problems in all carriers, but when someone comes to you with symptoms – as they inevitably do – parasites are often one of the contributing factors.

“WYDDTYP”
• I wrote this simple little e-book to help my clients understand how parasites can affect the body. It’s an essential homework reading task for you! Because you have the e-book, I won’t go into huge detail on parasite descriptions in this lesson.

Protozoans - Giardia
• Giardia lamblia / duodenalis / intestinalis – Has a sucker that allows
it to stick to the intestinal wall.
– Abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, chronic fatigue, food intolerance, and can exacerbate IBS, arthritis, chemical sensitivity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Giardia_lamblia_SEM_8698_lores.jpg

Protozoans - Cryptosporidium
• Cryptosporidium parvum
– “Hidden spore” – very tiny
– Food, water, swimming pools, daycare.
– Can invade intestinal cells and cause significant damage.
– Can infect biliary tree, lungs, middle ear.
– Frequently seen as a chronic invader.

![Page 15: Hompes Method - Amazon Simple Storage Service · Hompes Method Practitioner Training Level II ... •Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is: “A non-mutual symbiotic relationship](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5c929d6709d3f2195d8bab8b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Protozoans – Blastocystis hominis
“Although the role of Blastocystis hominis in human disease is often referred to as controversial, a
systematic survey of research studies conducted by 11 infectious disease specialists from nine countries, found that over 95% of papers published in the last 10 years
identified it as causing illness in immunocompetent individuals. The paper attributed confusion over pathogenicity to the existence of asymptomatic
carriers, a phenomenon the study noted is common to all gastrointestinal protozoa.”

Worms!
• I’ll only discuss four of the major worms here – itwould take too long to discuss them all. These arethe ones I’ve seen appear on stool tests mostfrequently.

Worms…
• There are other worms, including tapeworm, Strongyloides (threadworm) and flatworms flukes) but I’d like to move onto the typical or general symptoms we see in people who have parasites.
![Page 23: Hompes Method - Amazon Simple Storage Service · Hompes Method Practitioner Training Level II ... •Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is: “A non-mutual symbiotic relationship](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5c929d6709d3f2195d8bab8b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Parasites - Symptoms
• It can be very hard to distinguish the symptoms of parasite, bacterial and fungal origin because:
– Symptoms overlap significantly
• A chronic C. diff overgrowth may cause the same symptoms as Blasto or hookworm, for example
– People may have more than one bad bug!
• It’s common to see “multiple-infestation”
![Page 24: Hompes Method - Amazon Simple Storage Service · Hompes Method Practitioner Training Level II ... •Wikipedia’s definition of a parasite is: “A non-mutual symbiotic relationship](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5c929d6709d3f2195d8bab8b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Parasite Symptoms – Paul Chek
• Fatigue that is uncharacteristic of your normal state • Constipation/diarrhea • Irritable bowel syndrome • Digestive disorders • Irritability/nervousness/mood swings • Depression • Emotional unrest • Agitated thoughts • Nightmares • Persistent skin problems

Parasite Symptoms – Paul Chek
• Gruanulomas (tumor like parasite encasements) • Sugar cravings • Ravenous appetite • Allergies/intolerances • Nasal itching/picking • Anal itching • Coin size blotches on face • Skin eruptions/markings • Fungal infections • Overall fatigue

Bacteria, Parasites & Common Sense
• Anyone will agree that it’s at least possible that symptoms are going to result from these bad bugs living in the gut for any length of time. It’s common sense that international travel, migration and contact with animals leaves no corner of the earth immune to them. They’re part of nature!

Bacteria, Parasites & Science
• We know from the resources mentioned in the last presentation, and the ones I’m about to share with you, that our claims about bad bugs are scientifically valid and based on significant bundles evidence.

Bacteria, Parasites & Clinical Results
• We know unequivocally (with 100% certainty) that people experience improvements in health and vitality when they identify and successfully deal with these bad bugs!

Thank You!
• Thanks for consuming this information. I hope it’s been helpful. In the next lesson – 5C – we’ll look at yeast and fungal issues, which often go hand in hand with bacterial and parasitic problems.
