As long ago as 1976, the Centers for Disease Control revealed that one in
every six people selected at random had one or more parasites. Since that
time, the numbers have grown due to increase in international travel and
importing of fruits and vegetables. Parasites enter your body in one of
four ways: through food and water intake; through a transmitting agent,
such as a mosquito; through sexual conduct; and via the nose and skin.
Symptoms of parasite infection include constipation, diarrhea, gas and
bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, joint and muscle aches and pains,
anemia, allergies, skin conditions, nervousness, sleep disturbances, teeth
grinding, and chronic fatigue.

How parasites hurt you

Parasites can damage the host's body in a number of ways. They can

* Destroy cells faster than cells can be regenerated
* Produce toxic substances
* Irritate body tissue
* Invade body tissue, including the skin and intestinal lining
* Put pressure on body organs
* Depress immune system function while activating immune system response
* Cause nutrient malabsorption

Treatment

If you suspect you have parasites, a health practitioner can arrange a
number of tests. These include stool tests, blood tests, tissue swabs, and
more. These tests can often be inconclusive. Many parasites that reside
in tissue or in the blood will not be found in fecal samples. Nor can
pinworms be seen in stools. Parasites that adhere to the gastrointestinal
tract lining are very hard to find.

If you have parasites, there are a number of things you can do.
Prescription drugs are available, and they do work, but, like so many
prescription drugs, they also can have many side effects. There are also
natural methods of ridding the body of parasites. These generally include
cleansing the intestinal tract, modifying the diet, using a substance that
kills the parasites, recolonizing the intestinal bacteria, and taking
preventative measures.

Prevention

There are a number of things you can do to avoid picking up parasites:

* Wash you hands before eating.
* Wash all fruits and vegetables before eating them.
* Wash your hands with soap and water after going to the bathroom,
changing diapers, or handling pets.
* Keep your fingernails short and clean.
* Do not walk barefoot.
* Have regular parasite checkups (especially if you travel frequently).

FAQ

How do I know whether AIM Para 90® is working? Will I experience any side
effects or detoxification symptoms?

Most people look for parasites in their stools, and many do see them. Not
everyone does, however. Positive signs are a "pokey" feeling in the
abdomen or an "itchy" or "crawly" sensation on the skin. You should
remember that in the process of cleansing, there may be some discomfort;
parasites are not easily dislodged. Some users' skin has broken out, and
others feel nausea or somewhat tired. You may also notice increased bowel
movements, looser stools, and more frequent urination.

If I have been taking AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, do I need AIM Para 90®?

AIM Herbal Fiberblend® does have a cleansing effect, but it will not work
against as wide a range of parasites as AIM Para 90®. If you have been taking
AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, you probably have less of a problem with parasites.

What else can I do to help the cleaning?

Many people recommend taking colonics, and using a probiotic such as AIM FloraFood ® to recolonize
the intestinal tract after using AIM Para 90®. Others take AIM Para 90® in
conjunction with AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. Digestive enzymes are also beneficial.

Bromelain is in AIM Para 90®. What is it?

Bromelain is a digestive enzyme that will aid in the digestive process.
