Salmon May Be Infested With Japanese Tapeworm

Emerging Infectious Disease journal has published a study which states that wild caught Alaskan salmon may be harboring a species of tapeworm that was previously understood to only infect Asian fish. Based on these findings researchers warn that any salmon caught along the North Pacific coast may well contain the parasite. The concern comes into effect if you eat the fish raw or undercooked you will become a host to this gruesome organism, something of concern if you are a big fan of sushi.

This tapeworm discovered in Alaskan salmon is named Diphyllobothrium Nihonkaiense, commonly called the Japanese broad tapeworm, as reported in a CNN report. In contradiction of previous beliefs that the fish tapeworm, Diphyllobothrium Latum, held the most reports of infection, the Japanese broad tapeworm species accounts for the highest reports of infection in humans. Scientist have found 4 species of Pacific Salmon that are known to harbour the Japanese broad tapeworm: masu salmon, sockeye salmon, chum salmon, and pink salmon. These salmon are commercially caught wild and are then shipped to places all over the world, so it is possible for the infection to occur in humans anywhere on the planet.

Tapeworms can grow up to some 30 feet inside a human host in the digestive tract. Infestation often goes unnoticed because the symptoms can often be mild or attributed to other conditions. When fish are caught commercially they are placed on ice, to help keep them cool and fresh for the journey to port an unload. This practise does not freeze them, only keeps them refrigerated. To kill the possibility of possible parasite worms the fish need to be frozen. It would be a safe assumption that salmon at a sushi shop may be unsafe, unless you know it has been frozen before being prepared for consumption. The parasite can also be killed by fully cooking them for your safety and assurance before you consume them to avoid the possibility of infection.

Marijah McCain, a naturopath and widely experienced healer, apprenticed with a parasitologist and knows firsthand about these gruesome, disgusting parasites and how to go about removing the menace from the body. A variety of helminths worms, such as the tapeworm, may possibly even find their way to, and make home in your brain with dire consequences, though this is very rare. McCain suggest that everyone with a health disorder, who consumes sushi, and livings with animals should do an anti-parasite program at minimum once a year, and do a routine parasite cleansing.

McCain states that parasites may cause symptoms such as diarrhea, gas, bloating, chronic constipation, fatigue, mood swings, insomnia, skin rashes, dry skin, nail biting, bad breath, hair loss, brittle hair, weight gain, and muscle cramping. Parasites can invade any tissue in the body, making the symptoms range and occurrence can happen anywhere. McCain goes on to add that parasites may be a contributing factor in conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, some heart diseases, as well as others. According to McCain most people are in denial about the health risks of parasitic infections, adding even doctors often fail to recognize the role they play on diseases, claiming that parasites are the cause of hundreds of misdiagnosed ailments. She strongly recommends natural anti-parasite formulations in lieu of the conventional mainstream toxic allopathic medications.
