Creepy Crawlies Within: How Parasites Impact Your Health and What You Can Do About It
Introduction
Parasites. Just the word might make your skin crawl, but what if I told you they might also be causing your skin issues, gut problems, or even chronic illnesses? These organisms aren’t just a third-world problem—they’re everywhere, and they may already be inside you.
In this blog, we’ll explore what parasites are, the symptoms they can cause, and actionable steps to safely address them. Let’s dive into the world of parasites, from the microscopic to the downright monstrous, and learn how to take control of your health.
1. What Are Parasites and Why Do They Matter?
Parasites are organisms that live in or on a host, feeding off their resources and often causing harm. While some parasites, like the whipworm, may have potential benefits in controlled settings (e.g., regulating immune conditions), the majority wreak havoc when left unchecked.
There are over 1,400 known species of parasites that infect humans, ranging from microscopic protozoa to worms several meters in length. Despite the myth that parasites are only a third-world problem, studies suggest that 5 to 6 billion people globally have an active parasite infection.
How Do You Get Them?
Contaminated water or food, including raw or undercooked meats and fish.
Travel to tropical or high-risk areas.
Close contact with pets or livestock.
Cross-contamination through imports, exports, and human-to-human transfer.
With global travel and food supply chains, parasites have become a modern-world issue that can’t be ignored.
2. Symptoms: Is a Parasite Wreaking Havoc in Your Body?
Parasites can cause a wide range of symptoms, both in and outside the gut. While some symptoms may seem minor, others can point to serious underlying issues.
Common Symptoms of Parasitic Infection:
Digestive Issues: Pain near the liver, appendix, or belly button, floating stools, diarrhea, or constipation.
Neurological Signs: Teeth grinding (especially at night), anxiety, depression, or brain fog.
Immune Reactions: Seasonal allergies, frequent colds, and sinus infections.
Skin Problems: Dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, or hives.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Low iron (anemia), low thyroid levels, or unexplained fatigue.
Other Indicators: Joint pain, hair loss, or unexplained hormonal imbalances like early menopause.
If you’re reading this and mentally checking off several symptoms, it might be time to investigate further.
3. How to Safely Address Parasites
Getting rid of parasites isn’t as simple as popping a pill. Effective parasite protocols require careful planning and support to avoid complications and ensure long-term success.
The 3 Essential Steps to Parasite Removal:
1. Open Drainage Pathways (The Exit Doors)
Before you can remove parasites, your body’s drainage systems—like the liver, bile ducts, lymphatic system, and colon—must be functioning optimally. Blocked drainage pathways can lead to toxins being reabsorbed or relocated within the body, making you sicker.
Action: Support drainage with proper hydration, nutrient-rich foods, and supplements like Tudka or coffee enemas. For a deeper dive, check out Episode 90 on Drainage.
2. Remove Parasites (The Clean-Up Crew)
Once your drainage pathways are open, you can start targeting parasites with a mix of natural and pharmaceutical options. Common tools include:
Biofilm Disruptors: Break down protective barriers around parasites.
Binders: Activated charcoal, zeolite, and other substances capture toxins released during parasite die-off.
Killers: Natural remedies like black cumin seed, pumpkin seed, and papaya seed extracts, or prescription antiparasitics like ivermectin or mabendazole.
Warning: Going too hard, too fast can lead to severe immune responses or make parasites resistant. Always proceed with professional guidance.
3. Rebuild and Restore (The Healing Process)
After clearing parasites, your body needs time to heal. This involves replenishing nutrients, repairing your gut lining, and rebalancing your microbiome.
Action: Incorporate gut-healing foods, probiotics, and nutrient-dense diets to rebuild your system.
Why You Need Professional Supervision
Parasite removal isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Factors like your symptoms, medical history, and drainage capacity all play a role in determining the right protocol. Without proper guidance, you risk:
Severe detox reactions.
Incomplete parasite removal.
Prolonged symptoms or new health issues.
Conclusion
Parasites are more common than you think and can wreak havoc on your body if left unchecked. By understanding the symptoms, opening drainage pathways, and using targeted removal protocols, you can reclaim your health and finally rid yourself of these unwanted invaders.
