 In cooking rhe meat, some of the healthy enzymes are destroyed, but so are the harmful bacteria and parasites.
Many pet owners have asked me about a raw meat and bone diet versus a cooked diet for cats and dogs. In my second book, Protect Your Pet: More Shocking Facts, I share the findings from my extensive research. I conclude that this is not a safe diet to feed companion animals, and there is no sound scientific information to confirm this assertion. Not only are dogs and cats as prone to the many bacteria in meat—Salmonella, Campylobactor, E. |

 Proteases in the bloodstream are used by the immune system to break down the protein cell structure to allow the immune cells to destroy the parasites. In addition, enzymes can promote overall health by balancing pH levels. A probiotic formula can improve an imbalance of bacteria in the intestines. |

 It first gained attention from farmers for its ability to protect produce, fish, and poultry from bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Research is showing that grapefruit seed extract is effective on a very broad spectrum.25
It is now being reported that some hospitals are using grapefruit seed extract in concentrations of 10 to 15 drops per gallon (3.8 liters) of water to kill streptococcus, staphylococcus, aspergillus, salmonella, and many other pathogens in operating rooms, laundry, and carpets. |

| Pathogenic bacteria and parasites are comprised of proteins. Viruses are enveloped by protein, and fungal forms such as Candida contain a protein nucleus surrounded by a chitin shell (see candidiasis in part 2). Therefore, we need a plentiful supply of protease to overcome protein invaders in the body that will make us ill if left unchecked.
If you seem to catch every virus that comes your way, it's very possible that your immune system is underactive because of a deficiency in metabolic protease, a key component of the white blood cells that attack and destroy viruses. |

 What's more, Peter has found that many parasites, or their energetic field signatures, gravitate to Energetic Integrator 2 and may spend part of their life cycles in the lungs or liver, so this Integrator may show up in a NES scan for that reason rather than because of any distortions in the lung or heart fields.
Energetic Integrator 2 also links to the germinal layers of the fetus: the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. So, it may be an important bioenergetic connection to embryological development. |

| White blood cells are our defense against infection by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, as well as any inflammation (refer to chapter 3). Hemoglobin, a protein present in red blood cells, helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide. Almost half the volume of blood consists of red and white blood cells, while the remainder is a fluid called plasma, which contains dissolved proteins, sugars, fats, and minerals. |
| The causes of diarrhea vary and can include ingestion of certain foods or substances (such as caffeine, artificial sweeteners, or food allergens), food poisoning, viral or bacterial infection, parasites, excessive use of laxatives or antacids, overgrowth of natural bacteria in the intestines, exposure to chemicals the body cannot tolerate, and various bowel disorders or diseases. Acute diarrhea affects almost everyone from time to time. Chronic diarrhea or presence of blood in the stool may be due to a serious intestinal disorder and a physician should be consulted. |

Are You Suffering From Sick Building Syndrome?
Have you ever become nauseous, achy, or dizzy after spending an extended amount of time in a specific building? It's possible you experienced Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) or Building Related Illness (BRI). Although both of these two conditions are generally associated with the workplace, an important distinction should be made. |

 The diagnosis is made in part by a process of elimination when examinations, including cultures for bacteria and parasites, uncover no other cause.
This form of colitis is chronic because the source of the inflammation continues its attack, causing unrelenting injury to the colon. Obviously, the ultimate solution to this chronic condition would be to isolate the offending agent and eliminate it. Modern medicine can do this effectively with cases of parasite infections, such as giardia, by killing the parasites with the aid of antibiotics. |

| Over the month he was there, his body released masses of white, jellylike parasites, but otherwise, the fasting was making him sicker. His weight dropped from 154 pounds to just over 111 pounds. The weight loss added to his feelings of fatigue, and Harry returned to England considerably worse off than when he had left. "I was by now," he said, "properly disabled." By the time he returned home, he discovered that the friend who had recommended the clinic was, in fact, relapsing and was back at the clinic herself. |

 It's a pretty nasty-sounding infection—who wants parasites setting up permanent shop in your brain?—but it's thought to be generally benign in most people, although more on that shortly. It's also incredibly common, infecting as much as half the world's people—and not just where you might think. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, scientists think more than 20 percent of the population is infected—in France, it's nearly 90 percent.

| These invaders include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. In general, the immune system protects the body using two types of immunity: innate, or nonspecific, immunity and adaptive, or specific, immunity. Innate immunity consists of the physical barriers of our body, such as skin and mucous secretions. These barriers attempt to protect us from any possible intruder. For example, the secretions in the nose create a barrier to dust and all small particles we inhale, not just the pathogens that can make us ill. |

 The unusual thing about the flowers is that they are carnivorous and eat insects, protecting the tree against pests, parasites, viral infections, and fungal growth.
The power of the tree lies in the inner bark. It can be removed without damage, dried, from which an extract is obtained. The tree renews its bark and, therefore, serves as a continuous supply source. The active ingredient is known as Lapacho. The herbal remedy is valued for its ability to strengthen and balance the body's immune system. |

 Researchers found that the immune systems of flea-ridden wild rats are busy fighting off everything from germs to parasites, whereas the immune systems of lab rats had nothing major to occupy them. With no real dangers to fight off, lab rats were more likely to make antibodies that attacked substances like pollen, or the body's own tissue. In other words, the lab rats' immune systems became hypersensitive to substances that would not bother their wild counterparts. |
| Interestingly, laboratory studies show that when rats with a predisposition to Crohn's disease have their GI tracts sterilized, so that they have no leaky gut syndrome and no bad bacteria or parasites, they are no longer susceptible to Crohn's and they do not develop the disease.
The second step is to make sure that you are not consuming any potential allergens or foods to which you may be sensitive. For those who are facing severe autoimmune disease, this is best done by going on a complete elimination diet, with the help of your physician. |

 There are other less common infectious causes of vaginitis like gonorrhea, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Campylobacter, and even parasites like pinworms and giardia. Among these, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomona are sexually transmitted. Women who have sexually transmitted vaginitis require treatment with antibiotics to prevent pelvic inflammatory disorder; testing and treatment should be offered to partners as well. To learn more about sexually transmitted infections, see Chapter 18.
General symptoms of infectious vaginitis include a vaginal discharge, irritation, itching, and odor. |

| Antibiotics may be a major co-factor in developing AIDS among the very active homosexual men who depend on them in order to ward off the many venereal diseases and parasites arising from non-hygienic sexual practices. Many gays have received open prescriptions for antibiotics from their doctors who advised them to swallow the drugs before their sexual encounters. Some of them had been on such toxic drugs as Tetracycline for as many as 18 years before their immune system succumbed to the devastating side effects they produce. This particular drug causes extreme sensitivity against sunlight. |

| The bacteria and viruses and parasites that cause disease in us have affected our evolution as we have adapted in ways to cope with their effects. In response they have evolved in turn, and keep on doing so. All kinds of environmental factors have affected our evolution, from shifting weather patterns to changing food supplies—even dietary preferences that are largely cultural. It's as if the whole world is engaged in an intricate, multilevel dance, where we're all partners, sometimes leading, sometimes following, but always affecting one another's movements—a global, evolutionary Macarena. |
