Treatment of lamblia by alternative means is good because unlike drugstores, they act more sparing, softer. Pharmacy medicines are toxic and kill not only lamblia, but also all useful intestinal microflora.
Lamblias are the simplest single-celled, adapted to live within the human body. They get there with food or water. In most cases lamblia reproduce in the small intestine, but it happens that the lamblia penetrate the liver, pancreas and other organs.
The infection of the human body with lamblia is imperceptible. The incubation period for them is 1-3 weeks, and at this time the giardiasis does not manifest itself. But it happens that even after that, they live in the intestines for many years, not letting themselves know, and find them only by chance, when they conduct a survey. But more often it happens that lamblia are rapidly multiplying, adhere to the walls of the small intestine, and this leads to a deterioration in its ability to absorb nutrients and upset the entire activity of the gastrointestinal tract.
Symptoms of Giardiasis are manifested as follows. The person has pain in the pit of the stomach, then there is diarrhea, the stomach is swollen, gases accumulate. The chair becomes liquid, watery, sometimes foamy, but it has no bloody or mucous impurities. In a couple of weeks, the acute phase of the disease passes by itself, and giardiasis becomes chronic. If the body at this time is exposed to other diseases, it is weakened and giardiasis is exacerbated with renewed vigor.
Children much more often suffer from giardiasis. There are two reasons for this: firstly, children often do not observe the rules of personal hygiene, especially when playing on the street. And the second reason is that lamblia is very sensitive to an acidic environment, and, since the acidity in children is lower, the lamblia are prettierly treated in children's stomachs. In adults, the acid of gastric juice dissolves almost all the microorganisms that have got there.
Lamblias are very fond of sweet, and therefore during the treatment to complete abandon the sweet, and, conversely, include in the diet more acidic foods.
Spores of lamblia (cysts) are very tenacious. Outside the human body in a humid environment, they can exist up to 100 days. In our stomachs, they get together with raw water, with unwashed fruit, or in contact with an infected person.
Treatment of giardiasis with herbs
The treatment is designed to create unicellular conditions of life in the intestines and other organs as less as possible, and the use of alternative means is directed at this. These funds are similar to those that are called helminthic.
