PARASITES & PAPAYA - Surprising Health Benefits of Papaya Seeds – No More PARASITES

In Costa Rica we're SOOOO BLESSED to have such an abundance of AWESOME FRUITS (though KNOW YOUR SOURCE to ensure it being ORGANIC and NON-GMO!!!!!).
One of them is
PAPAYA!
and Papaya has SOOOO MANY Health Benefits - starting with able to help with
PARASITES
something ALL people living in Costa Rica should get checked for and treat at LEAST once (though IDEALLY 2 times) a year!!!
The Amazing Unknown Power of Papaya Seeds

While most people throw them away, papaya seeds and not only edible, small amounts of them in your diet can be surprisingly good for you.
Keep in mind though that chewing half a teaspoon of the seeds is not like eating papaya fruit. They have a strong flavor, more like a cross between mustard and black peppercorns.
If you can handle that, ahead are some of the main health benefits of papaya seeds, followed by some interesting ways to add them to your diet.

Papaya Seeds, Worms and Other Parasitic Infections
Like green papaya, the seeds contain high levels of proteolytic enzymes like papain which can help rid your body of parasites. In the same way that papain breaks down protein waste, it may also break down parasites and their eggs.

Good levels of digestive enzymes in your diet are also believed to help normalize the environment in your intestinal tract, making it less hospitable to worms and other parasites. Green papaya capsules and high-strength powder are a simple alternative if you don’t have the fresh fruit and its seeds available.
The seeds from papaya also contain a unique anthelmintic alkaloid called carpaine that has been shown to be very effective at killing parasitic worms and amoebas. There is much more detail on the parasite problem and a specific treatment to get rid of them in

How to Use Papaya Seeds for Parasites.
1. Get a ripe yellow or orange papaya, depends on the variety.
