Parasite 411

I know. Gasp. Parasites reside only in dirty, unsanitary, filthy kids and people of third- world countries, right? Dogs, cats, and farm animals have them, but not clean, normal, people, right again?

Wrong. So wrong.

Our non-education about parasites and their cataclysmic role is a colossal fail in American health.

You have them, I have them. The rich and famous have them as much as the poor, the educated have them as much as a third-world country has them. It isn’t even a question of having them, it’s how many do you have and what kind are they?

If our auto-immune system is good then we have a healthy count of parasites. A strong immune system keeps them in check, that is, naturally gets rid of them if counts get too high. They are never completely eradicated. There is a good homeostasis or balance within the body. All of nature is like that.

But, if we have auto-immune disease, which more than half of our population now has, then we have parasite overgrowth. Think about it. If our body is attacking itself through allergies, asthma, eczema, encephalitis, the gut, the thyroid, the bowels, etc. there is no way it is strong enough to keep those parasite in check. The natives proliferate, attempt to take over, systemically get into muscle, bone, tissue, and organs causing irritation, behavior, inflammation, pain, infection, and disease.

In our own experience we have significantly reduced or eliminated most symptoms of auto-immune disease by getting rid of parasites. Parasites are not only infectious in themselves, but they also store metals and pathogens. They even build their very own infrastructure called biofilm which clogs up our pathways including neurotransmitters that communicate with the brain from the gut.

Stephen Buhner, in his Lyme books, explains the incredible world of parasites to give them respect, not that they deserve it as parasites, but because we are disproportionately disadvantaged in our knowledge of them. We are so lax, doing nothing to help our bodies fight them on a regular basis and America’s poor diet of processed, boxed, synthetic, sugary, yeasty food feeds their voracious appetite.

Parasites are able to communicate with each other and even conspire across species. They are an enemy and have one goal: to control us for their own agenda. They can trick our body into doing things it doesn’t normally do, they drain us of our nutrients, cause pain and destruction to our organs, poison our blood, and even bore into bones.

They can cause erratic behavior….hmm….ASD, PANDAS, PANS, AE anyone?

Getting control of parasites certainly provided healing in areas of all of those diseases (and others) for us.

I don’t know everything about parasites. But we are eye-witnesses to their catastrophic destruction of our lives. What were the symptoms? How come we didn’t know before completely de-railing?

Simple. We had never been educated. Very strange considering generations before us were educated and regularly treated parasites through diet and herbs.

Is the medical system educated?

Based on our then regular doctor being an MD/PhD immunologist who ordered regular lab testing, I say a resounding No! Regular laboratory testing will give false negatives. He should’ve known that. Instead, we wasted time and money on false negatives.

Were we dirty? Didn’t we have itchy butts? No and no.

So, what were the symptoms? Simple. Auto-immune disease. Allergies, eczema, leaky gut, bowel disease, asd, pandas, pans, Lyme…they are all auto-immune diseases.

We spent a whole year getting rid of parasite infections and the difference is mind-blowing. It was a monumental turning point. I am no longer a sleep deprived, 24/7 nurse living a ‘life deprived life’ running from one fire alarm to the next between family members in a tireless effort to keep them comfortable. Instead, I am now experiencing my family recover and achieve goals that used to be impossible for them.

So, how did we do it? Biofeedback alongside homeopathic and herbal supports with a good, nutritional diet of real food were all keys in managing parasite stress.

About The Detox Depot

I am detailing my journey of recovering my family from disease. The current climate isn’t exactly favorable for my story. Writing about alternative medicine has moved past raising eyebrows to outright censorship despite its quantum leaps of success.

But my words are not newfangled. I’m just one wave from an ocean of professionals and patients who appreciate that organic foods, herbs, vitamins, minerals, botanicals, homeopathics, biofeedback and clean water keep us healthy.  They create the immunized state that wards off disease.

Detoxifying was the major player in our healing and I suspect it would be for most. Sounds easy, but detoxing a body full of symptoms, infections, pathogens, and disease is complex; it’s definitely deeper than a smoothie. But despite severe, chronic, and systemic problems holistic, organic, herbal, and homeopathic approaches were our only successful avenues to recovery.

I am not a doctor and do not know your specific path for recovery. In our journey, protocols for similar issues were completely individualized and hands-down required me to return to school for an education and training.

What I will share is the good, the bad, and the ugly of detox; products, resources, information and tips that helped us. I’ll share practical recipes over on The Recipe Train.

When I recall countless sleepless nights plunging through articles, journals, books, blogs for support, I keep forever in my heart the steady comfort some of them brought. I hope The Detox Depot will be one of those resources for you.
