Root Cause, Parasites

15 September 2023

Parasite cleansing was the BIGGEST game changer for my health, and I’m always SOO excited to talk about it! I recommend it to everyone because we all have parasites, and they are causing countless problems in the body!

I’m all about root cause wellness, and parasites are one of the biggest root causes of all disease.  

Before I got the parasites out of my body, I had daily seizures, food sensitivities to almost everything I ate, my skin was covered in acne, and I suffered from pretty significant digestive issues(to name a few). A parasite cleanse changed it all for me!

If you’ve made it to this blog, you’ve likely already read my blog on Why You Should Parasite Cleanse, so I’m not going to go deep in all of that again…

If you aren't sure what parasite cleanse to order, go back to that blog!

Just remember these few things before we dive in…

1. Everyone has parasites, but the amount they affect you is based on the environment in your body
2. Better out than in!
3. They are stealing your nutrients and pooping inside you 24 hours a day
4. You NEED to prepare your body before you start, and support your body throughout the parasite cleanse

In this blog, we’re going to dive into how to prepare your body and mind for parasite cleansing.

Parasite cleansing can be really tough on your body

It is CRUCIAL that you prepare your body for this type of protocol. I urge you to consider going through a Functional Medicine Detox first and do not consider a parasite cleanse AT ALL until you’ve read my drainage funnel blog and know that your bowels are moving, you can sweat, etc.  

As my drainage funnel blog mentioned, these should be opened up IN ORDER.

Level 1, the colon, is the most important level. See my blog how to get yourself pooping for affordable and actionable ways to open up this drainage pathway! 

Level 2, the liver and bile ducts, support them before a parasite cleanse by drinking warm lemon water with a pinch of sea salt, dandelion, or milk thistle tea. You can also perform coffee enemas and incorporate TUDCA to really prep the liver to purge parasites and their byproducts when you cleanse.

Level 3, the lymph, keep your body moving and try to sweat three to four times per week at a minimum to support the skin.

I’m not going to go in depth into the drainage funnel, that’s what my  drainage funnel blog is for :).  But these first 3 layers are the most important before you start your parasite cleanse anyway.

1. Complete a functional medicine detox
2. Make sure you’re pooping (visit this blog)
3. Drink morning lemon water with a pinch of high quality salt
4. Drink dandelion or milk thistle tea to support your liver bile ducts
5. Take TUDCA bile salts to stimulate bile flow and open the liver bile ducts more
6. Keep your body moving
7. Start sweating several times a week to reduce your toxic load
8. Drink plenty of liquids!!! 

I’d also HIGHLY recommend getting started on a quality Binder to help mop up the toxins and prevent a herxheimer reaction.  During a parasite cleanse, as they die, they put off a TON of toxins. If your body is exposed to more toxins than it can handle, it causes what’s called a HERX. This is what causes uncomfortable symptoms.  All of the items I mentioned above can help prevent that.  

The BioToxin Binder from Cell Core helped me tremendously throughout my protocol, and I continue to take it now!

The Universal Binder from Equilife is especially helpful to have on hand if you are sensitive to supplements because it is super gentle. 

Adding a few drops of liquid chlorophyll can also act as a binder. I think it tastes good and gives me more energy– there are so many benefits to this besides toxin binding!

Having these tools on hand during your parasite cleanse can ensure you experience as few symptoms as possible!

You can add in support when you need it. No prize is given to the person who powers through this without listening to their body! Take a break from or decrease supplements when needed, and add binders to mop up the toxins these critters release when they die.

In addition to supporting your body physically, I also want to mention the importance of preparing your mind. Many people don’t ever start because they find the thought of parasites terrifying.  I TOTALLY get it!! I was there too! 

It took me months to start, then once I did, I was NOT happy with myself for waiting for so long!

It can be scary for the first few days, but then the SECOND you see the first one come out, your entire mindset changes and it all becomes about getting more out of you. 

They will come out DEAD. You don't need to worry about seeing live parasites.

You may not feel your best sometimes, so mention this to your family so they can best support you when needed. Ask them to join you! Many of my clients have their families cleanse with them for moral support. 

But also, because parasites are transmissible, you are more likely to stop the spread if everyone participates.

So if you want more energy, want to sleep better, or feel like your gut and/or skin could use some help- look at parasite cleansing! Obviously, this is something I’m very passionate about, and I could talk about it all day!
