Pinworms are the most common parasitic infection. They mainly infect the colon and cause rectal itching, especially at night when the females come out to lay their eggs. Other symptoms include vaginal itching, gut pain, diarrhea and sleeplessness. Pinworms can also travel to the female reproductive area, affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. This may result in other infections, including vaginitis and endometritis.
Pinworms primarily infect young children and their parents. The eggs are microscopic and a female can lay 10-15,000 eggs at a time. They are contracted from infected surfaces like toys, bedding, door handles and toilet seats. They can also be sexually transmitted and airborne. They can linger on objects and in the air for a few weeks.
The life cycle from swallowing eggs to experiencing symptoms can take up to 8 weeks, which can make treatment challenging.
I hear from LOTS of frustrated parents who have the hardest time eradicating pinworms from their household, despite taking both prescription and otc antiparasitics. There are a few reasons why pinworms are so hard to eradicate.
#1 - Most pinworm medication, both prescription and OTC, don't address eggs. Additionally many just work in the gut but not systemically. (That goes for most antiparasitic meds, not just pinworm medication.)
#2 - The entire family doesn't take the protocol. Pinworms are communicable like a virus, so similarly to how families tend to get sick together, parasitic infection is the same.
#3 - People fail to do a deep cleaning of their home. Because the eggs are microscopic and so easily transmissible, common surfaces should be wiped down including door knobs, toilets and light switches, and bedding should be laundered on the sanitize cycle.
#4 - Most folks don't eliminate sugar while taking antiparasitics. Parasites like pinworms rely on sugar for survival so eliminating or minimizing that will help a great deal along with eating foods high in anti-parasitic compounds. This is a great antiparasitic meal plan.
I use CellCore's Para Kit because because it's organic, strong & works all throughout the body, not just in the gut. It's also designed to address worms, larva, eggs and biofilm as well as microscopic parasites, candida and viruses. Most antiparasitic protocols including prescription and otc medications can't check all of those boxes.
The kit has four different products that work synergistically to 1. Scrub the gut (Check out this vid on biofilm to see why this is an important step!) 2. Detach, kill and remove pathogens 3. Bind and remove excess toxins that parasites release when they die 4. Boost immunity. Brace yourself for this, it can be very jarring at what comes out! This is a video I made with my clients' pics (it's a bit graphic) but will give you an idea of what you may see.
Younger children that cannot take capsules can typically get away with just taking the liquid tincture Para 3 that can easily be mixed in water or juice - be sure to message me for child dosing!
