VITAMIN E -v- PARASITES

I've been back onto health research and I've been looking deeper at "parasites" in humans. This website for the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal mentions how fleas can be the cause of "parasites" found in human stools. While I was reading the research I was given VITAMIN E.

The next phase of the research was to find the link between Vitamin E and the health issue specified. This article features research with mice and it was found that if there was a deficiency in Selenium and Vitamin E, it could stop the body from ejecting "parasites/bacteria" out of the body. If the body doesn't eject the "parasite/s", then the body can become infected.

If you already have an infection of the G.I. tract it can be very difficult for the body to absorb Selenium. It is also important to remember that some foods rich in Selenium are also high in histamine and too much histamine can be one of the causes of inflammation. 

With Vitamin E, avocado's are one of the foods that are high in histamine. If you have an histamine overload, it can also trigger MAST CELL activation.
