A parasite is an organism that depends on another organism known as a host. For example, tapeworms live in the digestive system of many animals or humans. It doesn’t have its own digestive system, so it absorbs nutrients through their skin from partially digested food as it passes through the host.
A parasite usually gains all the benefits of this relationship. In contrast, the host may suffer from various diseases, infections, and discomforts as a result of the parasitic attack. But in some cases, the host may show no signs at all of infection by the parasite.
The life cycle of a typical parasite commonly includes several developmental stages. During these stages, the parasite may go through two or more changes in body structure as it lives and moves through the environment and one or more hosts.
There are over a 1,000 species of parasites that could live in your body, yet tests are available for only approximately 40 to 50 types.
This week Shawn Stevenson interviews an expert on this topic, Dr. Keith Scott Mumby. What’s shared will enlighten and empower you. Ignorance is most definitely not an option when it comes to this topic.
Please share this with everyone you care about.
When you listen to the podcast below you’ll discover:
Dr. Keith Scott Mumby’s story
Why parasites are such a HUGE issue that no one is talking about.
What’s the real threat here (in the U.S./ western society)
What types of parasites are the biggest concern and where to they come from
Are there tests to find out if your system has been compromised
What are the symptoms associated with having parasites in the body
How to protect yourself against them and what are some simple strategies to employ if you have them
"There are over a 1,000 species of parasites that could live in your body, "
Where is the Evidence of this???
please list 1000 parasites that can live in human body, that are pathogen, yes if you include non -pathogen normal flora it could be very very many...
if no one can list 1000, and you say it is over 1000, then this can be NO more than speculation.
The number of pathogen parasites are likely much lower....but yes possibly some doctors come up with such theory because they do not do proper testing, and cannot even find the one described in the well known books, because they do not perform the test described in the same books.
The last parasite is not discovered, and new ones are evolving...and yes if you include every sub-type then the numbers are quite large, so may be not so far from truth...
My point is mainly that most human parasites actually are quite well described in the big books... it is not like we only have discovered a handful of the human parasites and that most human parasites infecting many humans not are known..
I listen this pod caste, and I am sorry to say that that I was not convinced by what that "doctor" says; he has has no clinical experience it seems, and as now so many of us are begiining to find out, you have to have a doctor who knws how to diagnose and treat; 1000 parasites are some random number; you need the real clinitian who have studied parasites and know what they do.... and how they attack the body..... and which meds to prescribe ......
Obviously this person on the podcast has not red the big books on parasites, ignored now by most gastro doctors and even parasite specialists.
Not to argue, but to clarify for other readers, I managed to find three different sources that back up the 1000 parasites.
PARASITE FACTS AND FIGURES There are four classifications of parasites. 30% live in our digestive systems while the other 70% live all over our bodies including, the blood, and all organs including the brain and even in our eyes and sinus cavities. There are over 1,000 types of parasites in these four classes that can live in the human body.
BACTERIA, VIRUSES and FUNGUS (mold, yeasts) are ALL in the very broad parasite catagory. 70% of all parasites that can live in the human body are MICROSCOPIC - only 30% are visible to the naked eye.
Millions of parasites, including mites, worms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses are eating your flesh right now. The human race is subject to infestation by more than 1,000 types of parasites. These freeloaders can be extremely harmful, wreaking havoc on the health or their unwitting hosts.
4.5 billion worms exist. They can be found in both unsanitary and sanitary conditions, around the globe. So if you were thinking that you didn't have to worry because you live in America, Japan, Germany etc, and in sanitary conditions, you would be wrong. Very wrong.

Please, you say you want to clarify things for readers. Many people come here in desperation without any serious studying of parasites. You are goggling and yes finding some sites mentioning 1000 or more or even much more parasites. Not one of your sites are by any known medical expert on parasites.
And more interesting again you can not find One person in the world that can name 1000 human pathogen parasites.
To discover a new human pathogen parasite is not easy, because most of them are discovered and well described already, many many tropical medicine doctors and researchers in medicine would love to discover a new pathogen human parasite, if it caused a lot of sickness and they could show that they could even get the Nobel prize in medicine, or at least get very famous in medical circles.
Again you cannot even find someone listing the names (or classification) of 500 human pathogen parasites (yes may be if you include every sub type, like some well known parasites have 20 known sub types). But to come with such claims I assume these people must have put up a list at least somewhere? Please show us the list. Yes you can find some people saying ohh yes there are more than 1000 human parasites, but people saying so, and people repeating this has zero zero evidence of it. It is very very difficult to survive in the human body, there exist an enormous amount of earth worms for example, only a minuscule fraction of them are able to survive in a human body...
This idea that most pathogen human parasites not even are known by western medicine has no more than wild speculation behind it. People believing in it will easily end up hardly even interested in trying to get proper diagnosed, because they will think ohh because there are thousand or more human pathogen parasites and my doctor only can test for much much less then I can just as well just try this and that protocol that promise to cure almost any parasite. Instead of spending time finding the handful of doctors truly following the books and doing proper testing for well known parasites they end up chasing one miracle protocol after another, and some of them even are helpful, may be reducing symptoms. And yes some herbs can even get rid of a few parasites, herbs to expel some intestinal worms are well known, and yes in china there is a well known herb with great effects agains malaria (even some western parasite medicines are extracts from such herbs)
Doctors of course themselves very responsible for such ideas have developed (Ide of thousands of human pathogen parasites). Almost no doctor ( properly test for the parasites well described in the big books on infection medicine. Well yes many of their tests are good, but for some parasites incredible few doctors seems to be aware of how they need to test, they do not follow what the best books says they should do, they can easily miss out and declare patient free of parasites even if the patient potentially have a very dangerous well know parasite causing big damage to the body, with potential fatal consequences if one go too many years with it untreated . The doctor then tell patient he can have no parasite...The patient may be with pains all over the body, gastro problems, foggy head, skin problems etc of course know something is serious wrong, and many guess correctly it could very likely be they are infected with a parasite even if doctors not find any. Then it is easy to think if doctors not can find the parasite then it must be a alien parasite (a parasite not known by western medicine). So this is how such theory of many many unknown human pathogen parasites easily evolve. But most human pathogen parasites are almost for sure very well known and well described in the big books (I am not talking about every sub-type). But some of them that are quite common go unnoticed by almost every doctor because they do not do proper testing as described in the books. However to for to make people think it is more than thousand human pathogen parasites is a big mistake in my opinion, it make people chase miracle cures, rather than chasing the few truly knowledgable doctors in the filed.
You ask for people well read on the topic to criticise you, your title of the tread is
"Gruesome Facts "
A fact is something that is well studied and well understood, and that there are logic and empirical research behind. So if it is a FACT that there are more than 1000 human parasites and you not can find one single person on this earth giving a scientific evidence of classification of such list then it is not FACT, then it is speculation. Such seculation can lead to non optimal strategy for sick people, instead of trying to find good diagnostician doctor they will chases all type of miracle cures (that also have little or no good scientific backing)...I do not say that herbs and natural remedies are totally useless...yes some herbs are well documented to have effect against some parasites, it is far to go from this and claim it is fact that there are more than 1000 human pathogen parasites and that western medicine only know 40 to 50 of them, and then link to pages claiming they can cure almost any parasite.
"yet tests are available for only approximately 40 to 50 types"....
This is also wrong, you say FACTS, western medicine know much more than 50 parasites and can test for far more than 50 parasites.... this based on the wide definition of human pathogen parasites (any organism that can be living in human body documented to causing sickness )...so please stop claim you state FACTS when much of what you states are speculations... read the big books on infection medicine a couple of times and see yourself...but yes you are right parasites can be very harmful, and yes many parasites are wide spread around the globe.
they can easily miss out and declare patient free of parasites even if the patient potentially have a very dangerous well know parasite causing big damage to the body, with potential fatal consequences if one go too many years with it untreated . The doctor then tell patient he can have no parasite...The patient may be with pains all over the body, gastro problems, foggy head, skin problems etc of course know something is serious wrong, and many guess correctly it could very likely be they are infected with a parasite even if doctors not find any. Then it is easy to think if doctors not can find the parasite then it must be a alien parasite (a parasite not known by western medicine)."
Tropicalboy is absolutely correct, and this is how some come with this bigus theory about 1000 parasites or some "alien" parasite....
no such thing as an "alien" parasite; or 1000 parasites; it is that most doctors do not do not know how to test. Such testing methods have been done with with arrival of the gastro insudtry, and their criminal doctors who do not read and do their homework, and no nothing about parasites; they never received a single day of training tropical medicine, and now think that parasites are in the "thrid world."
If you are suffering, and they found no parasite, testing methods were flawed. This is why stool tests are in most cases unreliable, done at some DISTANT lab.
Even Dr. cahill writes in many of his books that even when KNOWN SAMPLES of stool infected with parasites like E. Histoluytica. sent to certain reputable labs, in many cases, they miss them. EVen in NY!. This is some serious charge made by one of the best doctors in the world, against other labs. because he knows what he is talking. If he simply relied on labs that did our stool tests and kept saying that we had nothing, and some of us have done more than 50 stool tests, we would have simply died.... because they never found our E. Histolytica.

Apparently neither of you listened to the complete audio. If you had, you would heard that doctor say the same thing about labs missing the parasites.
