A Real Breakthrough; New Formula,

What people say makes us excited::

Yes, I DID receive your new formula. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I took some time off and went away for a long weekend. I am VERY impressed with the sample you sent.

I have used it about six times now, and I have really experienced great relief...more than any other product that I have tried so far! So, I am very happy to pass that news along to you. And, I am also very happy to have found a product that works.

It seems to work almost immediately. The smell as well as the color is much more pleasant than your last formula, too. Congratulations on a very fine product!! You must be very excited to share this with people.

Sincerely,

Mary Selfridge

 

Parasite

http://www.biologycorner.com/bio3/notes-parasite.html

 

-an organism that lives on or in the body of another organism (the host) and causes damage to the other organism

Types of Parasites

Ectoparasites - live/feed on the exterior of an organism (tick)
Endoparasites - live/feed on the interior of an organism (tapeworm)

We will focus on two kingdoms:
Protist parasites and Animal Parasites

Parasitic Protists

Disease: Malaria (Phylum Sporozoa) Protist: Plasmodium Vector: Anopheles Mosquito Symptoms: Chills, fever See Life Cycle of Malaria ; Read More on Malaria
Disease: Cryptosporidosis (Phylum Sporozoa) Protist: Cryptosproridium Vector: Contaminated water Symptoms: diarrhea, nausea, vomitting
Disease: African Sleeping Sickness (Phylum Zoomastigophora) Protist: Trypanosoma Vector: Tse Tse Fly Symptoms: uncontrolled sleepiness See Life Cycle of Trypanosoma
Disease: Hiker's Diarrhea (Phylum Zoomastigophora) Protist: Giardia lamblia Vector: contaminated water Symptoms: diarrhea, vomitting, cramps
Disease: Amebic Dysentery (Phylum Rhizopoda) Protist: Entamoeba Histolytica Vector: Contaminated water Symptoms: diarrhea

Most parasites are contracted from water sources, either directly ingesting contaminated water, or being infected through the skin. The best way to prevent parasitic infections is to have a clean water supply and waste treatment.

Animal Parasites (Kingdom Animalia)

Roundworms - Phylum Nematoda

Ascaris - common roundworm, found in dogs, cats and humans; infection occurs from ingestion
Hookworm - attaches to intestine, causes bleeding, infection occurs through the skin
Pinworms - commonly infect children in all parts of the world (including US), causing itching around the anus but does not usually cause any other health problems
Guinnea Worm --also known as fiery worm, or dracunculus -- worms found just under skin, cause burning Trichinella--worm embeds in muscles --humans become infected from eating undercooked pork --symptoms include soreness and tenderness of the muscles --see Life Cycle of Guinnea Worm

Flatworms

Phylum Platyhelminthes

Schistosoma --blood fluke --intermediate host is a water snail --humans are infected through the skin by larval form (cercariae) -- Schistosomiasis results in approx. 1,000,000 deaths per yer --See Life Cycle of Schistosoma
Taenia --tapeworm found in cattle and pigs --can infect humans --segments called proglottids for reproduction --head is the scolex
Liver Fluke --this flatworm has several species that inhabit a variety of animals --Fasciola hepatica - common sheep liver fluke --Fasciolopsis buski - infects humans (See Life Cycle below )

Parasite Life Cycle ; Pinworm

Causal Agent:

The nematode (roundworm) Enterobius vermicularis (previously Oxyuris vermicularis) also called human pinworm.  (Adult females: 8 to 13 mm, adult male: 2 to 5 mm.)  Humans are considered to be the only hosts of E. vermicularis.  A second species, Enterobius gregorii, has been described and reported from Europe, Africa, and Asia.  For all practical purposes, the morphology, life cycle, clinical presentation, and treatment of E. gregorii is identical to E. vermicularis.

"Retroinfection, or the migration of newly hatched larvae from the anal skin back into the rectum, may occur but the frequency with which this happens is unknown."

Eggs are deposited on perianal folds.  Self-infection occurs by transferring infective eggs to the mouth with hands that have scratched the perianal area.  Person-to-person transmission can also occur through handling of contaminated clothes or bed linens.  Enterobiasis may also be acquired through surfaces in the environment that are contaminated with pinworm eggs (e.g., curtains, carpeting).  Some small number of eggs may become airborne and inhaled.  These would be swallowed and follow the same development as ingested eggs.  Following ingestion of infective eggs, the larvae hatch in the small intestine and the adults establish themselves in the colon.  The time interval from ingestion of infective eggs to oviposition by the adult females is about one month.  The life span of the adults is about two months.  Gravid females migrate nocturnally outside the anus and oviposit while crawling on the skin of the perianal area.  The larvae contained inside the eggs develop (the eggs become infective) in 4 to 6 hours under optimal conditions.  Retroinfection, or the migration of newly hatched larvae from the anal skin back into the rectum, may occur but the frequency with which this happens is unknown.

 

Geographic Distribution:

Worldwide, with infections more frequent in school- or preschool- children and in crowded conditions.  Enterobiasis appears to be more common in temperate than tropical countries.  The most common helminthic infection in the United States (an estimated 40 million persons infected).

Image Library - Parasites The following microphotographic images of parasites were taken at the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory. The OSPHL Parasitology Department is equipped with a Leica DC 200 digital camera mounted on a Leica DMLS microscope. This equipment is used in conjunction with the Division of Parasitic Diseases (DPDx) at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to aid in the rapid diagnosis of unusual or difficult parasitic diseases using digital images and the Internet.

Canine Hookworm

Hookworm infestation, known also as ancylostomiasis, is the most common and most serious endoparasitic infection of dogs in the tropics, and affects cats as well, although to a lesser extent. Adult hookworms attach to small arteries within the intestines of the host and take blood meals directly. As a truly prolific egg producer, the female canine hookworm lays up to 30,000 ova per day, which are then passed into the environment via the animal's droppings.

 

The canine hookworm larvae hatch in soil where they develop and await a passing host that is susceptible to infestation. A dog may ingest soil containing the larvae, or more commonly, the larval hookworms enter the animal by penetrating the paws. Over time, the larvae migrate within the body to the lungs, ascend the respiratory tract, and eventually are swallowed. They move through the digestive system until they reach the lining of the small intestine, where they attach and feed, starting the cycle once again.

With a typical three-week life cycle, infestation becomes particularly problematic in tropical or sub-tropical environs. Dogs suffering from hookworm loadings in their guts often experience weight loss, diarrhea, black and tarry stools, and severe anemia. Significant infestations may be fatal for puppies. Unlike some other hookworm species and other endoparasites, the canine hookworm can also infest humans.
