Parasites are organisms that live and thrive at the expense of other organisms. Living inside a person, they take in nutrients and vitamins intended for their host.
Waste products are poisons and toxins that are excreted. A person infected with parasites will systematically lose the nutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the body. In addition, he will experience an additional burden, processing waste products released by unwanted co-occupants.

According to the WHO, parasites and the consequences of their life in the human body cause about 80 percent of all human diseases.
