RE: I Quit Eating for 28 Days [Water Fast] : Day 6 (Parasites)
Oh my god, I'm freaking out by those worms! How long of a fast does it take to get rid of them?
Edit. Okay I'm not as freaked anymore as reading the comments on the video people said those worms feel like itchy. By that I realized I had had some itchy feelings in my ass years ago 😷 but they've luckily gone away. But who knows what still hides deeper in the gut...
Haha I definitely thought before I posted this that I'm going to freak out a person or two. 😂😂 Generally speaking it takes a week or so, however it varies from person to person. It is clear however that once they pass out of your system that hunger goes away completely!
I don't know enough to say if there parasites or not, however I am almost certain we are all carrying some.. If you contract one, and don't take any efforts to remove them, they will stay there indefnitely and reproduce. As such, the sheer odds that you don't have them is incredibly low.
Ok now I'm back to scaring people.
Maybe a little scaring is a good wake up though. The parasites aren't dangerous themselves (at least most of them for we all likely have them, right?), but it's good to be aware of it, so one could get rid of the inconvenience they might cause. I'm thinking of doing a week long fast when I get a chance. I could take a long week holiday from my work and do it then. That'll be left probably for spring though since the Christmas holidays I'll spend visiting relatives.
That my thought!
They aren't exactly life-threathening, the goal of parasites is to take enough so that you don't notice not too much that it kills you. If you die, they die.
They do cause ill-effects in your body and screw with your gut microbiome though, so having parasites are definitely not ideal.
Wow that's great to hear! I'm sure you will have an amazing experience! 7 days is usually the amount of time you want to fast for! Please do post about it on Steemit too! We can start a little fasting community here!!
Great idea! I'll let you know when I'm starting my fast.
