How to Detox & Heal from Parasites
If you suspect that you are struggling with parasites, the first thing to know is that parasites are very common. They can enter the body by ingestion of undercooked meat, raw fish, drinking contaminated water, walking barefoot on infected soils or swimming in infected waters. When a person’s immune system is functioning properly, it eliminates most of these before they have a chance to build up in the body tissues. Parasites can overrun the body’s systems during times of stress, major illness and with concussions.
9 Common Symptoms of Parasite Infection are :
- Digestive Challenges – bloating/gas/constipation/nausea
- Chronic Fatigue or Exhaustion – leading to mood changes/depression/personality changes/headaches/ memory issues/ brain fog
- Skin Issues – unexplained rashes/hives/eczema/rosacea, etc. This occurs from an increase of IgE in the system.
- Muscular/ Joint Pain – that does not improve with other interventions
- Anemia
- Feeling Hungry Even After Eating
- Itchiness – may be localized under the skin or can cause anal itch
- Bruxism – grinding teeth while sleeping
- Insomnia – parasites are nocturnal and lunar sensitive, during the full moon in particular.
If you are experiencing several of these symptoms or one symptom that is not responding to typical courses of treatment, it is possible that you may have parasites.
What Can I Do?!
Step 1: Open your Detox Pathways
As you are considering a parasite detox, it is important to understand that parasites absorb heavy metals while living in the body. This protects them like armor while they are alive and when they die, they release the heavy metals back into your body. This can cause a person to feel unwell and experience a variety of “detox” symptoms or a “herx response” as the parasites die. It is important to get the body’s lymphatic system moving properly so that when the tissues and organs release parasites and heavy metals, the body can eliminate them more easily. Regular use of Infrared Sauna, ionCleanse Foot Detox and Manual Lymphatic Drainage will aid your body with this process. Adding a 3rd party tested Chlorella supplement to your daily routine during this time will help your body to release the heavy metals and “disarms” the heavy metal armor that parasites hides behind.
Step 2: Modify your Diet
Avoid simple carbohydrates in your diet – refined foods, fruit, juice, dairy products and all types of sugar, except honey. Parasites love sugar.
Add – pumpkin seeds, pomegranate, carrots, beets, raw garlic and cilantro.
Increase your water intake – to help flush them out of your system.
Eat more fiber – this helps the bowels move regularly
Add Pre/Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes – this will help your intestinal flora to rebalance, making it an unwelcome place for parasites.
Step 3: Work with a Healthcare Provider to Guide you in a Parasite Cleanse
Once your body is detoxing with ease and you are experiencing minimal to no “herx response”, you can safely begin a more aggressive parasite cleanse.
