iam not sure of exactly where to post this but my question is in regards to body parasites.
Recently i was given information on this subject by a company who sells "remedies" to this problem. They state that 90% of usa have parasites of some sort in their body and these parasites cause most of our healt problems.
They say the eat your food, suck out blood and nutrients, cause bad bowel movements, make you feel fatigue and so on.
Is there any medical facts on this, are any of these claims lagit, can any pill be able to rid you of them.

We don't usually deal with parasites in this forum (except heartworm of course) but in general I would be wary of anybody selling cures to "all that ails you". Most of these people are charlatons only trying to make money. Your doctor is the best source of medical information.

I hope you find this information useful. Information provided in the heart forum is for general purposes only. Only your physician can provide specific diagnoses and therapies. Please feel free to write back with additional questions.

If you would like to make an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic Heart Center, please call 1-800-CCF-CARE or inquire online by using the Heart Center website at www.ccf.org/heartcenter. The Heart Center website contains a directory of the cardiology staff that can be used to select the physician best suited to address your cardiac problem.
