In this episode Dr. Armitstead shares how prevalent parasite infections are in America,  what symptoms they can cause and what herbs are best to take and how to take them.  Because other doctors aren't trained to look for parasites and medical testing isn't thorough Dr. Armitstead by default treats lots of people with parasite infections in her office.  If you are having trouble sleeping, fatigue, or mood swings it might be due to parasites.  If you are having trouble with your bowel movements or bloating it could be parasites.   When you go to your MD these types of complaints are considered manageable and if treated, they are treated usually with over-the-counter medication to only get symptom relief without addressing the real issue.  Dr. Oz says that 90% of Americans will have a parasite problem at some point in their lifetime. I tend to agree.
