What Are Parasites and How a Parasite Cleanse Can Help

A parasite is an organism that lives on a host (an animal, a plant, or yes-even a human) and leeches off of it, taking nutrients from the host without giving anything back. Parasites are inherently selfish, stealing the nutrients from its host and causing nothing but problems for the unlucky party. What this means for the host is that the immune system is compromised, making it more difficult to fight off disease.
