Parasitic Infections

Parasites that live in the intestinal tract of the host being, may act upon the immune system in order to maintain the optimal parasitic living environment. A suppressed immune system leaves the host organism open to all sorts of secondary infections. In addition, specific actions of the parasite can create such side effects as constipation. The victim of a parasitic infection may experience hunger, nausea, fatigue or joint pain. The symptoms may lead to detection of the cause of the infection, which is necessary before it can be treated
