    How To Tell If You Have Parasites (And What To Do About It)

    Even though they are so prevalent, the last thing we should do or should not do is encourage our loved ones to ask for a stool test to see if we have parasites. It’s because the common stool test that is used will miss at least 80% of the time. That means that person then could go years on this false negative information without considering parasites because they got one test that showed it was negative.


    It’s the gut. Everything from indigestion to pain. Pain that moves around the abdomen, diarrhea, constipation, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which leads to bloat and challenges sometimes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for many people. We want to consider parasites there. Anything in the gut, autoimmunity of the gut, and autoimmunity in general. Also, our lung health. If we have any lung issues like cough, we wheeze. We have asthma and allergies of any type, food sensitivities of any type, or dairy sensitivity in particular.
    If you’re dairy-sensitive, it would be wise to consider the role that parasites may have in altering your gut microbiome and thus, your ability to digest dairy. The brain can absolutely be impacted by headaches and brain fog. Every organ can be impacted. The liver is commonly impacted. The biliary function or the flow of bile gets impeded because parasites easily nest within that bile duct or even the pancreatic bile duct. It can then affect our blood sugar.

    Liver health can be greatly affected. Our eyes, our ears, our nose, or our sinuses. Many of us deal with sinus issues. A little congestion, stuffiness, or even after we eat a certain food. It’s like, “The sinuses filled up,” and the next thing you know, you got a headache that is getting bigger. Those may be some friends living up there in the sinuses instead of saying, “It’s wheat. It’s corn. It’s dairy. I can’t digest that because my sinuses are filled and my head explodes here.” Also, our skin. Our skin in every way. If we have any skin issues like eczema or rashes of any type, consider. The brain, also seizures, moods, emotions, and our thinking. We can have very delusional thinking as a result of parasites and even certain parasites.

    Practically, every aspect of our lives can be affected. How are we getting these parasitic infections? Some people think we get parasites when traveling overseas. Let’s dispel that myth and tell us where and how we might be exposed to parasites.
    I would agree that probably years ago, that was quite true. Traveling overseas or an area where there are these parasites we’re not familiar with. Our terrain doesn’t know what to do with, but we have traveled so much more in the last many years and every decade since then. People are living in multiple places. Many years ago, we were not getting food from around the world for our dinner table. Now, we can have food from around the world. We go out for lunch, dinner, and tomorrow. The food has shifted.
    We can get these parasites absolutely through food. It is not just pork. It’s not just raw meat of any type. It’s not just your fish. Certainly, sushi, which is raw fish, could have some, but also, believe it or not, our fruits and vegetables. That innocent, amazing salad that we should be eating could be harboring some because of the soil it was grown on.


    They said we have more pets in the US than children now.
    Again, that’s a huge reason. Compared to many years ago, this is a big deal. Those house pets like cats or dogs are licking us. They are on our bedding. They lick children and babies. Within a family, we will often share them as well. Caregivers sneezing or if somebody sneezes and you’re around them, it could be a transmission thing. Also, look at the food and your water. Whether it’s your well water, but believe it or not, public water can have them as well.


    They’re everywhere, but they certainly must have a role besides messing our health up. What is their role in the ecosystem of life?
    They do have an amazing role and in a controlled manner, they can be very beneficial for us. They come in to help clean up our garbage. The amount of toxins we have in us now compared to many years ago is far greater, and maybe let me use one of them like the mercury silver amalgam filling. I don’t know how many years ago. Many of us could have had some of them in our mouths.


    Heavy metals are dangerous and toxic. We weren’t to have mercury in our bodies. There are other metals that we may be taking in through our water supply, our occupation, and how we’re working. These toxins and even infections of many types. The parasites will take those in and hold on to them. They can hold many times their weight in these toxins. It is protecting us.

    This sounds good, except if our toxin load is a lot and our parasitic load is a lot. We then feed them a lot of carbohydrates, sugar, processed foods, and other things and increase the growth of the parasites. It then becomes way out of balance. What started as a good little protective mechanism becomes uncontrollable and then we develop symptoms. Whether lung, brain, heart, liver health, or skin. We get rashes. We develop food sensitivities and allergies. It goes out of control.


    In a super-regulated form, there are some people that will take in a worm by choice. They’ll take in a whipworm and it can be used because parasites greatly affect our immune system modulation, the Th1 and Th2 arms of the immune system. Parasitic overgrowth will throw us into a Th2 dominant, but if we take one little whipworm, it comes in lives in us. It does some immune system modulation.
    For some people with Crohn’s or colitis, it can manage their immune system or their gut for six months by downregulating, managing this, and managing that. They take a pill. It kills it. They excrete it and then they take one more in so that one stays as is. That is a way it could get used but the other way is the way it’s living in all of us. It starts out beneficial for us, but due to our constant and increased load of toxins, it has overgrown and become unmanageable. It also has become a stressor.

    I feel like many of us may be walking around with a parasitical imbalance and simply unaware of it. Would it be smart for us to do some cleanse, having heard what we’ve heard now?
    A parasite cleanse sounds like a great thing, but there are about twenty different buts. For example, I said that they hold on to our toxins, which is pretty genius. If we don’t know what our toxins are and we take an approach, we’re going to go after these parasites, we then start killing the parasites and it’s loaded with a ton of mercury or other heavy metals. If we didn’t have something in place that was doing the work to clean that up, those metals would be released to something not as wise because the parasite solution was a wise protector.
    Maybe that goes to the brain, the eyes, the lungs, or other tissues like the skin where you develop eczema, etc. That’s one. Another one is our digestion. Our bowels need to be working beautifully because if we’re going to move out any toxin load, we have to have our bowels beautifully moving. There’s one small yet big reason why we may not just want to start with that. We need amazing bile flow and liver health before doing a parasite cleanse.


    A huge caution would be anyone with any chronic health condition or cancer, autoimmunity, or Lyme. I would work with someone skilled in assessing what’s the total tax and burden you’re working with. How do we get started offloading those toxins? How do we support your own energy so that you can detoxify it? It takes energy to detoxify.
    Something I did not share is how they could affect us. Cancer. You can even go up on the CDC website and there is some understanding of the role of parasites and cancer. A couple of times, it’s been found a tumor here in the brain only to learn it was a parasitic mass or a tumor in the liver or the lung or ovaries only to learn it’s a parasitic mass. We have more to discover and learn about parasites than we know at this point.

    Speaking of not knowing, what if we don’t have any pressing symptoms? What percentage of the population do you suspect is walking around with parasites?
    I guess the CDC, as such, would say 70% to 80% probably have some parasites in them. Let’s say we were to take that list that I had given from gut health, food sensitivities, allergies, seasonal allergies, and lung health. If anybody has any gut health, lung, or brain issues like anxiety, depression, headaches, or mood, anyone who has sinus or skin issues, even if we did those five questions, many people would say, “Yes to two of them. Yes to five of them. Yes to one of them.” I think 90% of people would say yes to at least one of those.


    As someone doing a coffee enema, they’re already doing a few other things right for themselves. Let me back up to what your question was and here’s where I’ll start. There’s something all of us can be doing so that we are not as good as the host because that’s what the issue is. The goal is for us not to be good hosts and to support ourselves with gut healing. What does that mean? It could mean taking out the foods that are inflammatory that are difficult to digest.
    You take out those foods that are inflammatory, and all of a sudden, your immune system, which is 80% in the gut, is like, “Thanks for giving me a holiday. This is so much easier.” Fifty percent of that immune power can now be spent on doing housekeeping, cleaning, and addressing infections or maybe moving out some of that metal. Switching to a gut-healing diet means you start by taking out inflammatory foods. Also, eat a properly prepared nutrient-dense diet that the Weston A. Price Foundation has been promoting for years. That’s already a step in the right direction.


    Take out those foods that you know you’re sensitive to. If you eat some dairy and you produce some eczema, you’re feeding the bugs. You know that because you’re like, “I ate it and now I’ve got an eczema patch.” Also, start supporting your liver health by improving better bile. There’s plenty of food to do this. You can use coffee enemas to do this. You correct your hydration. You can start to do some work to support heavy metals leaving the body and eat more fiber. Eat your vegetables.
    The nutrient-dense, properly prepared food diet. All these things have nutrition that’s wisdom and the body knows how to move out toxins. Our challenge is different than many years ago. We now have a high toxin load, and we’ve got equipment, intelligence, and availability in the body to move out this much because we’ve loaded it up with other stuff. We have more toxins. We’re putting our immune system into triple overtime work and it doesn’t get it done.
    We see the stuff come out of her skin or our brain. We’re tired, foggy, or a little angry, or something like that.


    Those are some steps we can take to be a bad host. Also, sushi. The ginger and wasabi that comes with it is not a decoration. Even hot peppers are very anti-parasitic. If you eat them, you’re like, “I could kill anything in it.” Wasabi could help address if there are parasites in that fish. Ginger is very anti-parasitic.
    There’s no shock there as to why wasabi and ginger are sitting right there with your sushi. They aid digestion as well. Also, wash your produce and your hands well. Even cleanliness within the home and the bathrooms. Good microbiome and probiotic-rich foods. Yogurt is amazing. You digested an amazing thing that is anti-parasitic because it supports the gut microbiome.


    I’ll give you some names of some herbs that are good. Black walnut is amazing, olive leaf, and vidanga. There is one that I feel great pretty much for most people and that is Mimosa pudica. It is lovely to help move out biofilms because they are prevalent. Mimosa is superb there. Anything with garlic is very good. You could take that even with food. Also, wormwood. The name is Artemisia. It is excellent and exceptional as well. Also, Berberine. Those are probably the herbs I would mention.

    Just to get at the nugget. I think you were about to say that a certain mix of herbs may be helpful for one person in a household, for example, but not necessarily for another because we do have bio-individuality. We can’t just throw all these herbs and hope for the best.
    It’s so true. Even the dosing that one would need can be different than the other one. Also, the ability for one to take the herb compared to the other one. Someone else is like, “I took it. My stomach’s fine.” Another person took it and they’re like, “I can’t take that.” There is that going for it.

    I would go back to the symptoms because it doesn’t matter. If you feel fine as who you are, then that’s great because that’s all we need to be, but if you’re like, “My brain is foggy, and I don’t like that,” or, “My skin itches. I itch all the time. This is driving me crazy,” or, “My stomach hurts after most meals. This is uncomfortable. I spend a lot of my day thinking about my stomach hurting.”
    Also, it’s like, “My lung capacity is not so great. I love to take walks, but I’m winded,” or, “I can’t go hike with my family because I’m winded.” Look at your symptoms. Your lungs, liver, heart, your brain, skin, and gut. Are there symptoms? That’s what you want to look at because that’s what motivates us any day to take care of ourselves.


    Pets, be aware. We have so many more household pets. They’re testing is more accurate than human testing, number one. Number two, they need parasite cleansing twice a year. If they’re living in your home, be assured you don’t want them to have parasites and pass them to you.

    Electromagnetic frequency radiation is a stressor for all of us. Some of us can handle it just fine. We’re like, “I’m fine. I sleep fine. I think fine. I’m not fatigued if I’m out in these settings,” or any of that thing, but yet we all have some stress from it.
    The more overall stressors we have, the more EMF is a problem. If we have any health issues at all, much less chronic, then we must become very EMF aware. Make sure to have that phone in airplane mode or off when we’re sleeping. Also, have the Wi-Fi off and the phones not in the room. Moving out of the city is a good idea, too.

  • Even though they are so prevalent, the last thing we should do or should not do is encourage our loved ones to ask for a stool test to see if we have parasites. 
    I have NEVER and WILL NEVER ask my loved ones for a stool test! 💁🏻‍♀️💩  :facepalm:

    If someone has a chronic, life disrupting problem, he should first see a qualified naturopath. Do not experiment with unfamiliar herbs and “natural” remedies. NEVER purchase them from unknown sources on the internet or anywhere else. It’s a good way to get poisoned or add another problem to those you already have. 
    Beware of “one remedy cures all” because it doesn’t. (The old-fashioned term is “snake oil.”) Example, colloidal silver is often effective on wounds, but not all wounds. You don’t use it if you break your leg, for example. When it is effective, you must know the correct dose and when to stop. Too much can result in silver poisoning. Every person is different. What helps one may harm another. 
    For DIY doctoring, stick with remedies you know are safe, ie. herbs and ingredients used in cooking, or plants like aloe vera on sunburn, fine. Before DIY treatment, get an accurate diagnosis so you take the right treatment. Be informed. If in doubt, find out!  
    There ARE some parasites that require treatment by a licensed MD with prescription medication or even surgery. There’s nothing wrong with supplementing modern medicine with natural treatments. Find a doctor who is open to that. Nowadays, there are more and more such physicians. Look for an osteopath rather than one who is all about big pharma, the latest vaccine, unnecessary tests, etc. 
    Not ALL bodily and mental ailments are caused by parasitic infestation. Yes, in a sense, bacteria and viruses are parasites of a sort, but most are short term and our antibodies take care of them, perhaps with a round of antibiotics which we finish as per doctor’s instructions and it’s over. Afterwards, a mild natural cleanse is a good idea to strengthen the immune system.

    It is parasites that cause long term, chronic, especially autoimmune problems that may be hidden in the body doing damage that are referred to in the video and for which naturopaths are best at uncovering and treating. At times, even these may require modern medicine combined with natural. An example is syphilis. All the herbs in the world will not eradicate it. Penicillin or doxycycline will kill the bacteria, after which body cleanses and sassafras strengthens the immune system and balances the biome in the blood. But don’t try this on my advice. There are other treatments. Someone who suspects they have syphilis should not eat a sassafras leaf salad every day!  (The leaves aren’t the right part of the plant, anyway!) 

    Another point occurred to me in reading the post. A stool test is of limited (not NO) value, but one should have tap water tested for biological and chemical contaminants. Don’t take the water utility’s word, and if you have well water, that can be contaminated, too. Mains water may pass the tests when it leaves the filtration plant, but what about the pipes under ground and in your house?  People have been found to be suffering from low level lead poisoning for years. Well water should be tested once per year or any time someone using it suffers from an ailment that just doesn’t resolve. The whole family may not be afflicted, either. A real life example is of a family of 10 whose father developed intestinal pain, diarrhea alternating with constipation, low grade fevers, body aches, brain fog that got so bad he had to quit work and go on disability after six months of misery. He was hospitalized numerous times, had every test available in the 1970’s including regular stool tests. Coming to no definite conclusion, he was diagnosed with Crohn's although his symptoms didn’t really match and treatments were ineffective. Nobody else in the family was sick. His wife was compelled to take a full time office job to make ends meet. They had eight children under age 13. 
    One day, a farmer neighbor stopped by and mentioned getting the well tested. Unbelievably, when the contractor removed the cement lid, he noticed a sickly odor. Further investigation revealed the putrefying remains of two raccoons. They probably came in via a spill off pipe in the lake across the road and became trapped or drowned. The board of health recommended they move out for two weeks while the well, spill pipe, and four neighbors’ wells were checked, cleaned, and pipe and contaminated well were dug up and replaced with better filters. Why did only the father get sick? No one knows. He went to a nursing home for four weeks, the rest to various friends and relatives. The father felt some improvement after five days. After the month, he was out of bed, off the toilet, his appetite returned, gaining weight. He returned to work part time in two months and was back full time in another month. He definitely did not have Crohn's. He was infected by a rare parasite normally found in freshwater crustaceans like crayfish. Crayfish abounded in the area and a favorite meal for raccoons. They generally don’t cause serious problems for coons, but humans can get very sick, but not necessarily. He probably got infected from the rotting raccoons who’d eaten crayfish because the family didn’t eat shellfish. I’m not sure of the parasite’s name, something like sparganosae?  It was nothing that a lab would normally test for, but upon sending a 💩 sample to Massachusetts General Hospital, they found it. I’m sure again, what was the medical treatment, but I do recall him consulting a chiropractor who also used natural remedies, adjustments, acupuncture, etc. I don’t think the acupuncture was even legal at the time, so he gave treatments at his house for suggested donations. The gentleman is still alive, in his mid-90’s! The rest of the family were tested as well, and all came up clear.  

    The OP mentioned mercury amalgam fillings as a source of sickness. I have a lot of them, most from about ages 10-14. I had minimal to no dental care in early childhood because my Dad’s workplace insurance didn’t cover it. Unfortunately, I inherited Mom’s poor teeth, I don’t remember her having but the ones she kept in a glass overnight! Dad and my siblings had virtually no cavities, toothache, etc. When his company offered dental insurance, he signed up and I did lots of penance in Dr. Chamberlain’s dental chair. I still have occasional nightmares about it, but when he did fillings, he did them to last. He didn’t use Novocain or any anesthetic. 😱 He said children didn’t need it!  I’m in my 60’s and all but one of his fillings is still in place! The lost one went bye-bye because I got an abscess in 2004 and had the tooth pulled, this time with anesthetic!  I have dental phobia, but now that I’ve come into a little money, I’m thinking of having my teeth fixed up, preferably at a nearby university dental clinic. Sorry, Dr. C, but your fillings may be removed. Then again, maybe not. I don’t have any health problems associated with amalgam fillings. I’ve had to go without regular dental care most of my adult life so I do have a number of nasty teeth! I’ll see what my naturo/chiro says along with the clinic dentists. I’m a bit suspicious of implants because they drill metal into your bone. They’re mad expensive, high maintenance. Since it’s mainly in one side, I’d be content with a bridge like Grandma! 
    The one front tooth can be fixed. In the worst case, I can get it capped in gold rather than silver, or maybe enameled. It’ll give me a unique look when I smile!  
    Yes, I’ll definitely be using natural remedies to prevent infection and promote oral healing. We’ll see when the time comes.

    Ivermectin is pretty strong and hard on the liver. Even wormwood and black walnut could have side effects if you over do it.

    Do you have the source(s)? I've read and heard from multiple reputable sources that ivermectin is very safe with little to no side effects.

  • Humaworm makes good products. Their regular parasite cleanse really works. I just finished a course of it I had stored for a few years in the box it shipped in, I started at the normal dose, but went to 3 pills 2x per day instead of 2pills 2x per day. Within the last few doses, I noticed significant improvement. Lent is a good time to use it because of the fasting, so it's easier to rem3mber to take it with no food, or at least 30min before eating.

    100% ... I enjoy a bit of delicious apple-flavored horse paste 3x per week, and I'm thinking of working fenben into the rotation.

    Not only does it destroy parasites, it also helps fight cancer, probably because as Rife suggested, cancers are microbial in nature, and very likely micro- / intra-cellular parasites.  I wouldn't be surprised if many neurodegenerative diseases such as CJD or Mad Cow, as well as alzheimer's/parkinson's are somehow related to micro-parasites that cross the blood-brain barrier.  Give how iver and fenben destroy cancers, that's my working hypothesis.

    And, in terms of safety, I'll second your objection.  It's taken on a daily basis almost like candy in Africa to prevent the myriad parasitic diseases that run rampant therre, from malaria to that river blindness thing ... and its safety profile is incredibly high.  It's only recent COVID propaganda that got people bogusly questioning its safety, despite its constant use for decades with very little adverse effects, only good effects.

    Quote
    There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.
    ...
    Originating from a single Japanese soil sample and the outcome of the innovative, international collaborative research partnership to find new antiparasitics, the extremely safe and more effective avermectin derivative, ivermectin ...
    ...
    Ivermectin swiftly became the drug of choice for the treatment of Onchocerciasis due to its unique and potent microfilaricidal effects, the absence of severe side effects and its excellent safety.
    ...
    Ivermectin has continually proved to be astonishingly safe for human use. Indeed, it is such a safe drug, with minimal side effects, that it can be administered by non-medical staff and even illiterate individuals in remote rural communities ...

    safety ... extremely safe ... excellent safety ... ASTONISHINGLY safe for human use

    So, yes, we've heard "safe and effective" abused lately, but these earlier statements were made as the result of real studies (cited in the article) absent any political agenda, and for little financial motive, since it's cheaper than dirt to produce.

  • My mother grew up on a dairy farm.  Worming for animals and people was often done 2x a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.  The method they used was food grade diatomaceous earth (D.E ) mixed in with the animals' food and for people with a bit of water.  I have known of people who took many "deworming treatments" which did not help as much as the D.E. did. 

    From what I understand, D.E is very safe for humans as it is basically ground up Sea Shells.  The small fragments do no harm for humans but cut up parasites like glass.  It is also a natural form of silica (which helps with constipation).

    Here is a great article about diatomaceous earth for anyone interested:

    I looked up paragonimiasis. That sure looks like the sickness he had. Dr. Google says it requires treatment asap. His went in for months, misdiagnosed and mistreated. No wonder his recovery was extended. 
    If I recall correctly, +Bp. Tissier wrote in his biography of Archbishop LeFebvre that he picked up some sort of parasitic infestation in Gabon, that remained latent for a lengthy period of time, but eventually landed him in a French hospital for IV treatments. I’m thinking it was liver flukes. At any rate, he made a full recovery.
