How to Draw Tapeworms Out

How to Draw Tapeworms Out

Tapeworms are intestinal parasites that can be introduced to the human digestive tract through ingestion of contaminated food and water. Symptoms of a tapeworm infection include nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss. Some tapeworm infections are asymptomatic and are eliminated from the body with no medicinal aid at all. However, if you think you may have a tapeworm infestation, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Instructions

    1

    See your doctor as soon as possible if you suspect that you have a tapeworm infestation. Tell your doctor about any symptoms you've experienced. Your doctor will perform some tests to diagnose whether you do have an infection; you will probably need to provide a stool sample.

    2

    Take prescribed medications exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. The best way to get rid of tapeworms is by taking medication. If you don't follow the prescription directions, the medicine may not help get rid of the infestation.

    3

    Practice good hygiene. Most medications kill and draw out adult tapeworms, not eggs. That means if you do not follow basic hygiene guidelines, you may accidentally reinfect yourself with tapeworms. Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the bathroom.

    4

    See your doctor again at the end of your medication course. You'll need to provide another stool sample so your doctor can check whether the infestation is gone.

SRT & NLP Techniques

The abbreviation SRT stands for Spiritual Response Therapy. This is a specific sort of therapy that is believed to allow you to get in touch with your subconscious to rid yourself of bad behaviors that you may have developed due to things that happened in a past life. The techniques used in SRT are believed to unlock a certain part of the brain that stores this information commonly referred to as the akashic record. The abbreviation NLP, on the other hand, stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. This is a therapeutic technique that is used to encourage you to find something you excel at doing and then use this strength to improve all other weaknesses. This helps to build up your self esteem and confidence.

SRT Pendulum Technique

    One technique of SRT requires you to use a pendulum. By staring at the pendulum and concentrating on nothing but it, you can remain conscious and clear your mind so that you can begin to connect with your higher being. Once connected with the lives you have lived in the past, you will begin to realize the traumatic events that have led to your current behavior.

Charting

    The second technique of SRT combines the pendulum technique with a charting program. The charting allows therapists to see what a person is feeling or thinking about a traumatic event as they experience each past life. The charting can help piece together larger puzzles that require more exploration, especially when there are multiple past lives involved over many periods of time.

NLP and Positive Thinking

    NLP is significantly different than SRT. The first technique used in NLP is to find someone that models the behavior that you want to achieve. You can then imitate or copy this person in order to learn the behavior that is desirable. After learning the desired behavior, it should become second nature and you will improve in the areas that they wanted.

Self-Help Media

    Another technique used in NLP involves listening to self-help books and other media that motivate you to want to learn the behavior. These motivational tools help to reinforce your ability to achieve your goals in becoming the person that you desire to be.

Uses of Algae as a Nutraceutical

Uses of Algae as a Nutraceutical

If you enjoy eating sushi, use an Irish moss cough syrup, or take spirulina supplements, you are consuming algae. Algae comes in a variety of forms, from complex ocean algaes, such as kelp, to free-floating organisms, like spirulina found on freshwater ponds. Many species of algae are nutraceutical, meaning they possess nutritional as well as medicinal or pharmacological properties, and offer great health-promoting benefit when consumed as vegetables or nutritional supplements.

Spirulina

    Spirulina is a blue-green algae used traditionally as a source of food in South America. Today, spirulina is found in health food shops around the world, marketed as a rich source of nutrients, such as protein, iron, B complex vitamins, microminerals and antioxidants. In a study published in "Cellular & Molecular Immunology" in 2011 by the University of California, spirulina was found to reduce iron-deficient anemia and improve immune response in elderly participants. Through these actions, spirulina can help you build resistance to infections and improve energy levels.

Dulse

    This seaweed was traditionally gathered from coastlines along Ireland and North America and is still consumed for its health and nutritional benefits today. Traditionally used to treat scurvy, parasites and constipation, research shows dulse may possess added medicinal qualities. In a study published in "Food and Chemical Toxicology" in 2005 by Ryerson University, extracts of dulse were found to have significant antioxidant and antiproliferative actions, and consuming dulse may protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease and free radical damage.

Bladderwrack

    Bladderwrack, also known as Fucus, is a species of brown kelp used in traditional herbal medicine for stimulating the thyroid gland and reducing goitres. Extracts of bladderwrack are rich in the micromineral iodine and thyroid hormones such as di-Iodothyronine, providing nutrients required by the thyroid gland to support metabolism throughout the body. Kerry Bones, herbalist and author of "Clinical Guide to Blending Liquid Herbs," states that bladderwrack is used as a thyroid tonic, a natural weight loss stimulant and an antirhuematic for arthritic conditions.

Irish Moss

    Irish Moss, also known as Carragheen, is a small reddish-purple seaweed found on coasts throughout Britain, North America and Europe. Extracts of Irish moss are used in traditional herbal medicine as a tonic for coughs and colds, with Irish moss lollies and cough syrups still available in the market today. In a study published in "PloS Pathogens" in 2006 by the US National Cancer Institute, researchers found carrageenan, an active chemical of Irish moss, significantly inhibited the growth of the human papilloma virus (HPV). Carrageenan successfully stopped viral particles from binding to cells and compared favorably with standard pharmaceutical treatments.

Nori

    Nori is used in Japanese cuisine to wrap sushi rolls and is distinct with its dark purple coloring and salty-sweet taste. A rich source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, iodine and essential fatty acids, nori is densely nutritious and supports sushi in being a healthy food choice. Medical research shows nori can help allergies and hypersensitivities. In a study published in "Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry" in 2005 by the Japanese Fisheries Research Agency, a chemical from nori, called porphyran, was found to reduce edema and inhibit the release of allergy-mediating chemicals, such as IgE and interferon, in animals.

How to Take DHEA & 5-HTP

How to Take DHEA & 5-HTP

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an adrenal hormone that can be converted in the human body into both testosterone and estrogen. 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a metabolite of an amino acid (a kind of protein) called tryptophan. DHEA deficiency has been associated with some late-life conditions and diseases, including loss of lean muscle mass and diminished libido. 5-HTP is associated with the production of a neurotransmitter called serotonin. Neither DHEA nor 5-HTP is regulated. DHEA, which is banned as a performance-enhancing drug by the World Anti-Doping Agency, may encourage muscle development. 5-HTP may be useful in treating depression, insomnia and Parkinson's disease.

Instructions

    1

    Buy both DHEA and 5-HTP in capsule form made by manufacturers you trust.

    2

    Buy 25-mg capsules of DHEA and 50-mg capsules of 5-HTP. Store both substances in a cool, dry place.

    3

    Take 25 mg of DHEA two to four times a day with food and water as a food supplement. Stop taking DHEA if you experience heart palpitations.

    4

    Take 50 mg of 5-HTP twice a day with food and water as a food supplement. 5-HTP is often recommended as an untested alternative to serotonin reuptake inhibitors like Prozac. Stop taking 5-HTP if you begin to experience unexplained muscle soreness.

    Get your herbs from a reputable source for quality and ethical harvesting.

    Put 2 oz. muira puama into mortar and grind it the smallest pieces you can. Pour contents into a glass jar.

    2

    Pour 4 oz. alcohol over the muira pauma. Close the lid tightly on the jar to prevent leakage or evaporation. Label the jar "muira pauma preparation" and the date.

    3

    Muira pauma root and bark must sit in the jar for four weeks to make a tincture. Place the jar in a dark area or cupboard. Shake the herb in the jar at least once daily to allow all parts of the roots and bark to steep effectively in the alcohol.

    4

    Strain the muira pauma tincture preparation through the strainer into the other clean jar. Press hard on the herb to get as much of the liquid out as possible. If any plant material made it through the strainer, pour your prepared muira pauma back into the first jar and strain again through the cheesecloth.

    5

    Seal the jar tightly and label "muira pauma tincture." Prepared this way, the tincture lasts for up to one year.

How to Develop Antibodies

How to Develop Antibodies

Although the graphic novel character, Wolverine, heals quicker than most people, humans need to develop antibodies to fight illnesses and diseases. Antigens are harmful intruders in your bloodstream. Your body creates antibodies, which attach themselves to the antigens to get rid of them. During flu season, it is recommended that we get flu vaccinations. Vaccinations are dead or nearly dead antigens that are injected into the body: Your body develops antibodies to kill them.

Instructions

    1

    Receive a vaccination from your doctor or physician. Vaccinations are usually non-harmful forms of antigens, such as the flu. When injected in small amounts, you body builds up a tolerance by making antibodies to fight the antigens.

    2

    Get sick. Any time you get sick, your body develops antibodies to fight the antigens of the virus or disease.

    3

    Drink coconut water. Coconut water contains lauric acid which helps build up your immune system. Lauric acid is also found in breast milk.

    4

    Eat vitamin C and zinc tablets. Vitamin C and zinc also improve your immune system. Your immune system creates antibodies and T-cells that kill viruses and other diseases.

How to Heal With Coconut Oil

How to Heal With Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a tropical vegetable oil derived from the dried fruit of the coconut palm tree. In traditional medicine, coconut oil is used internally and externally to treat a wide variety of ailments including coughs, colds, weight gain, hypotension, nausea and tumors. While modern medical science fails to support many of these claims, clinical evidence suggests coconut oil possess healing, antibacterial and moisturizing properties when applied topically.

Instructions

    1

    Apply coconut oil to superficial cuts and wounds. Coconut oil's ability to promote wound healing is largely based on traditional use and anecdotal evidence. However, according to Skin Pharmacology and Physiology 2010 study, virgin coconut oil significantly reduces the healing time of excision wounds in young rats. Tests showed that virgin coconut oil increases collagen production and antioxidant levels to promote faster healing.

    2

    Massage coconut oil into skin to relieve dry skin conditions. Topical applications of coconut oil improves skin hydration and increases skin surface lipid levels, thus improving skin barrier function. Virgin coconut oil is an effective treatment for mild to moderate xerosis (dry skin), according to a 2004 study published in the official journal of the American Contact Dermatitis Society.

    3

    Use coconut oil to treat skin infections, since it has proven antiseptic properties. Virgin coconut oil successfully reduces the Staphylococcus aureus virus colonization on skin affected by the inflammatory skin disorder atopic dermatitis, according to a 2008 study published in the official journal of the American Contact Dermatitis Society.
