Rare skin parasites, causing relentless itchy skin, suffered by thousands of people world wide are becoming more common. The itching is so intense and relentless that the only relief is to take near scalding baths several times a day to keep the vermin at bay.

How are the itchy skin parasites contracted? One lady contracted them from a bird nest she knocked down from a window. Another lady along with her husband contracted them from furniture they rented while their furniture was in transit. One fellow contracted them from a dust cloud while cutting down a dead tree. Another woman removed a nest of mice from a comforter stored in her garage and contracted them. Exchanging dresses at a wedding with another bridesmaid was the downfall of another lady. One woman even says she contracted it from a fellow sitting across from her at a meeting at work. She claims to have seen droplets coming from his mouth as he spoke. My own personal hell started when I had a cloud of dust descend upon me as I pulled a strangulating vine from a tree in my back yard.

Onset of symptoms usually starts approximately twenty-four to thirty-six hours after exposure. The initial symptoms are an itching of the skin driving the individual to a hot bath to relieve the symptoms. Unfortunately within several hours the intense itching returns. Anti itch creams only provide respite for a few hours.

Their desperation and panic results in all kinds of de-wormers, herbal remedies, chelation therapy and or removal of amalgam from filings in their teeth to remove mercury, medications from Mexico, faith healing, rifing… most to no avail.

The offending parasites are generally one or more of several skin parasites:
1. Collembola (spring tails)
2. Strongyloides stercoralis
3. Morgellons
Unfortunately the fact is that nearly all physicians are totally inexperienced with the treatment of these pathogens and for two of them there are no diagnostic tests available. And ironically the one that can be identified (the strongyloides) is a rare nematode requiring a wormer which again physicians are inexperienced in its treatment.

Many of us are so busy and have so many responsibilities in life that we sometimes forget to take care of ourselves. We can spend long hours at work, spend time taking care of our families and seem to place high priority on time spent staring at a screen of some description (computer, television of video games). The end result is our health often gets pushed down the totem pole of priorities.

Most people do understand that we should take some time out of the busyness of our lives to get in a couple of proper exercise sessions each week and eat better. But most often these things seem to get lost in the shuffle of our day to day lives.

A no proper exercise lifestyle leads to an increase in fat on the inside which accumulates around the organs inside the belly. You will not notice this at first as it will not show on the bathroom scales. But studies have showed a 9% increase in this dangerous fat in only six months due to lack of exercise can add up to four pounds per year over time.

You can tell when it builds up as your waistline measurement will indicate an unhealthy concentration of this abdominal fat. If you are a man your waistline should not measure over 38 inches and a woman over 35 inches regardless of what you weigh.

This fat is dangerous in that these fat cells inside the abdomen aren’t just dormant energy waiting to be burned up. The cells are active, producing hormones and other chemicals that can disrupt the body’s normal chemical balance and affect your health and put you in the firing line for around 50 nasty diseases and illnesses.
