The Blastocystis Hominis parasite is basically a microscopic parasite that is transmitted via the faeces-oral-faeces mode. This is why Blastocystosis (the name given to the infection caused by this parasite) affects people who are exposed to poor hygiene and contaminated food or water. The main symptoms of the diseases are anal itching, diarrhea, excessive flatulence, weight loss, intermittent abdominal pain, among others. The Blastocystis hominis parasite was initially thought to be one of nine different species of Blastocystis that specifically infect humans. Later, however, scientists discovered that other species of the parasite could also infect humans.

Not all people who get this parasite have symptoms related to the infection. There have been many cases where the so-called Blastocystis hominis parasite was found in feces, but there were no adverse health problems with the human carrier. Studies show that if the infected person’s immune system is strong, there would be no symptoms. However, if the person has digestion problems and/or a weaker immune system, the parasite causes many of the above symptoms intermittently.

In fact, if you are suffering from a mystery illness that causes two or more of the typical symptoms associated with this illness, you should look for the parasite Blastocystis hominis or any of the other eight other species. The parasite normally lives in the mucus of the large intestine and colon and is very strong. Doctors advise those who suspect an infection to use a treatment that changes frequently, say every week, so that the parasite does not develop drug resistance.

The parasite was found to adhere very well to the inner wall of the colon and/or the large intestine, making it extremely difficult to get rid of, even with prolonged and highly concentrated medication. It is easy to acquire this parasite in the intestine. All that is needed is something that is not well washed or contaminated water. However, getting rid of it completely is another matter. Among the recommended treatments that work are:

– Less or no cereal diet; the parasite Blastocystis hominis is known to thrive in grains

– Colonic irrigation or enema with medications or herbs that focus on killing the microorganism

– Highly effective fat digestive enzymes as this parasite is known to be built with fats. The dissolution of fats weakens it and kills it.

Other treatments include toning the digestive and immune systems. Blastocystosis disease is most often seen when the immune system is weak or the digestive tract is compromised. Long-term treatment is usually required; even so, it is strongly recommended that the treatment change every 7 to 10 days (or even sooner) as the Blastocystis hominis parasite is known to rapidly mutate to acquire resistance against any particular consistent drug or natural approach.
