Parasites: Nature’s Hidden Invaders

Parasites: Nature’s Hidden Invaders

Parasites are far more common than most people realize, and they play a surprisingly complex role in gut health, detoxification, and disease. In this episode of Chasing Eden, we explore how parasites thrive in a toxic digestive environment, how herbal cleanses — especially Dr. Hulda Clark’s famous black walnut, wormwood, and clove protocol — can eliminate them, and how fasting starves parasites while supporting autophagy and immune function. With insights from Dr. Axe, Dr. Barbara O’Neill, Gary Brecka, Jordan Rubin, Dave Asprey, and Dr. Huberman, the episode uncovers the link between parasites and cancer while offering natural solutions to restore the body to its divine design.Top 20 Keywords for the Parasites Podcastparasite cleanseherbal parasite cleansenatural parasite detoxDr. Hulda Clark parasite protocolwormwood black walnut clove cleanseparasite symptomsparasites and gut healthnatural remedies for parasitesparasite cleanse herbsfasting for parasitesparasites and cancer connectionholistic detoxgut restoration naturallyChasing Eden podcastBarbara O’Neill parasite adviceDr. Axe parasite detoxGary Brecka gut healthDave Asprey detoxJordan Rubin gut healingnatural health podcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:27.199
Welcome back to Chasing Eden Rediscovering your Body's devine design.

2
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.879
I'm your host, Carolyn Thompson, and I'm thrilled that you're

3
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.920
here today because we're diving into one of the most

4
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:43.159
misunderstood and yet most impactful topics in natural health today. Parasites. Yes,

5
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.399
I'm talking about parasites today. The word alone makes most

6
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.520
people feel uncomfortable. But what if I told you that

7
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:58.240
nearly every human on Earth carries parasites, And what if

8
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.920
I told you that surprising parasites can even play a

9
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:08.799
protective role in the body when digestion goes wrong. We're

10
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:13.840
unpacking the truth, the myths, the science, and most importantly,

11
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.079
the protocols that natural health experts have used for decades

12
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:24.560
to help people cleanse, heal, and restore their bodies. And

13
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.239
we'll be drawing knowledge from people like doctor Holda Clark,

14
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:37.400
Doctor Axe, doctor Barbara O'Neil, Biohacker, Dave Asbury, Jordan Rubin,

15
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.120
and Gary Breca, as well as some insights from doctor Huberman,

16
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.760
plus some of the latest research linking parasites in cancer, immunity,

17
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:55.159
and gut function. So what are they and why do

18
00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:02.079
so many people have parasites. Human beings have shared their

19
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:08.400
bodies with parasites for thousands of years. Parasites are organisms

20
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.680
that depend on a host, in this case us, to survive.

21
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:22.319
They come in all sizes and shapes, microscopic, protozoa, flukes,

22
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:30.400
round worms, tapeworms, threadworms, and pinworms. Blood borne parasites like

23
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:37.280
babiesia or malaria strains. Doctor as often quotes the CDC

24
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:44.560
statistic that over sixty million Americans carry parasitic infections without

25
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:50.960
knowing it, and globally that number reaches into the billions.

26
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:58.159
But here's where the conversation gets more nuanced. Parasites as

27
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.439
quote unquote up cruse. Yeah, you wouldn't believe it. But

28
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:09.439
many natural health practitioners, including doctor Barbara O'Neill, emphasize that

29
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.039
parasites often thrive when the environment in the body is

30
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:24.039
ideal for them, conditions like undigested food, excess sugar and mucus,

31
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:33.759
low stomach acid, slow elimination, gut fermentation, and fungal overgrowth.

32
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:40.199
In this sense, parasites sometimes act like the garbage trucks

33
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:44.400
of the body when food sits too long in the

34
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:50.439
digestive tract or isn't metabolized properly, parasites move into break

35
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.360
it down. Is that good? Well, not exactly, but it

36
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.960
reveals something important. Parasites often exist because the terrain of

37
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.240
the body allows or even invites them to thrive. Jordan Reuben,

38
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.840
you may remember him as the author of The Maker's Diet,

39
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.960
and currently he has a new book out called The

40
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.000
Biblio Diet, which I just purchased and I just started

41
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.399
reading it and it's really really great. He has stated

42
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.040
that many times that quote, a toxic digestive tract always

43
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:32.839
attracts parasitic organisms, unquote, the body becomes a comfortable airbnb

44
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.920
for unwelcome guests. So there are some symptoms that people

45
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.519
tend to ignore, and they are common signs of parasitic

46
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.519
activity in the body. Some of these symptoms include chronic

47
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.439
bloating or constipation, itchy skin or anus, teeth grinding at night,

48
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:07.240
food cravings, especially sugar, chronic fatigue or brain fog, mood swings,

49
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:15.399
skin rashes, trouble gaining or losing weight, as well as allergies. Now,

50
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.720
human biologist Gary Breca often emphasizes that parasites rob the

51
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:27.519
body of nutrients, creating deficiencies that lead to downstream hormonal issues,

52
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:36.199
immune problems, and metabolic dysfunction. Compared to ancient populations, today's

53
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.079
diet and lifestyle create a perfect storm. Well, we have

54
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:48.000
things in our lifestyle such as more processed carbohydrates, less fiber,

55
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.560
more sugar in our foods. We eat less fermented foods.

56
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.600
Some people don't eat any at all. We have more stress.

57
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.160
This has weakened our gut flora, and we also have

58
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:08.560
environmental toxins as well as travel and global food distribution. Now,

59
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.040
in the old days, people oftentimes had family farms. They

60
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.680
would grow their own food. It was a very natural

61
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.879
thing to do prior to the Industrial Revolution, before people

62
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.319
started to populate cities in large numbers and work in factories.

63
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.600
They lived out in the country and they had their

64
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.439
own cow and they had chickens, and they led a

65
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.000
very healthy lifestyle just naturally, just a natural part of

66
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.079
working with the environment around them, and took it for granted.

67
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.639
I guess that their diets were healthy and they were

68
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.240
enjoying the fruit of their labor, which was the food

69
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.759
that they grew in their backyard and the fresh air

70
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.040
that they breathed in. They spent time out in the sunshine,

71
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.439
tilling their ground and making things grow without even realizing,

72
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.439
or maybe so their connection with the earth and the

73
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:07.759
outdoors and growing their own healthy food locally. They maybe

74
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.199
they didn't even realize how lucky they were at the time.

75
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.120
But now we look back and we realize what happened

76
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.000
as we progressed, and we see what progress has done

77
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.160
to our food chain and to our lifestyles. So our

78
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:29.199
inner garden is extremely easy to invade. And that being said,

79
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.480
also the soil organisms that we naturally would get from

80
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.439
our foods when we would grow them ourselves or were

81
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:46.560
healthy for our gut. And there are probiotics that I

82
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.800
think they're called hs hsos. They come from the soil

83
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.920
that helped to populate our gut with healthy organisms and

84
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.120
keep it healthy. Most people don't get those anymore, and

85
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.720
they need to supplement with them. And if you were

86
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.839
a Jordan Reuben fan back in the day when he

87
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.600
owned the Garden of Life company, he had a supplement

88
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.279
and they may still have it with the soil organisms

89
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.439
in them that you could supplement with. So here's the

90
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:21.720
good news. You can cleanse, restore, and reset your internal environment.

91
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:27.399
And that's where the protocols come in. After the break,

92
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:32.080
we dive into doctor HOLDE. Clark's groundbreaking work, the woman

93
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:37.360
who transformed parasite cleansing into a global movement. Stay with

94
00:08:37.440 --> 00:09:01.840
us and prepare to rediscover your body's divine design. Doctor HOLDA.

95
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:06.240
Clark was a pioneer, one of the first to boldly

96
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:11.799
state that parasites, toxins, and environmental pollutants are at the

97
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:17.679
root of most modern diseases, including cancer. Her book, The

98
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:22.159
Cure for All Diseases shook the wellness world. Clark believed

99
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:29.039
quote all illness comes from two things, parasites and pollutants unquote.

100
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.840
While not everyone agrees with her fully, her protocols have

101
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.080
helped countless people restore their health. Now, hold of Clark

102
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.559
is no longer with us, but she has a cleanse

103
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.159
that you can still purchase online. And I have done

104
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.600
this many many times. In fact, I still have some

105
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.919
of the bottles in the cupboard, and when I decided

106
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.000
to make this the subject of my podcast, I was

107
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.799
reminded of it and I started popping some of them.

108
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.799
Foundational parasite cleans is built on three core herbs. Black

109
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.840
walnut hole which is actually green green black walnutth hole.

110
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:15.399
It's anti parasitic, anti fungal, anti microbial, and its effective

111
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:20.960
against adult parasites. The second part of her cleanse, the

112
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:28.879
herb is wormwood also known as Artemisia abyssynthium. This targets

113
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.799
larval stages. Bitter herb. It's a bitter herb that stimulates

114
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.960
digestion and historically it was used in ancient times. The

115
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:45.639
third herb is cloves. Cloves kill parasite eggs. They're a

116
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:54.799
powerful anti fungal and cloves prevent reinfestation. Now in her protocol,

117
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.759
she gives you a It comes with a piece of

118
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.720
paper like a guide, and it tells you how many

119
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.480
pills of each herb to take each day, because you

120
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.200
kind of have to. You have to take it in stages,

121
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.360
because parasites have stages and they have defenses that kick

122
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.159
in and the different larva stages that they have, so

123
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.240
you have to take it. I want to see it's

124
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.519
Is it like a twelve day cleanse maybe or maybe

125
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.840
seventeen days, I can't remember. But there's a guide in

126
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.519
there and it tells you how many to take up

127
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.720
each one each day. And for me, I would just

128
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.639
kind of check it when I took it, so that

129
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.759
I wouldn't lose track because it's a different number of

130
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:44.919
capsules for each herb each day. Now, Clark emphasized that

131
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.720
all three must be used together to break the parasitic

132
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.639
life cycle, the adults, the larva, the eggs, and the reinfection.

133
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.279
Most cleanses fail because they kill adults, but they leave

134
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.960
the eggs intact. So Doctor Axe also supports the use

135
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.240
of these same herbs in his own parasite protocols, explaining

136
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:10.600
that they do things like oxygenate the blood, reduce fungal overgrowth,

137
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:18.120
improve stomach acid, and create inhospitable environment for the parasites. Now,

138
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.360
a lot of people don't realize that because of our

139
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.080
modern diet and all of the junk that's out there,

140
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.480
all the fast food, all of the additives, all of

141
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:33.039
the processed things going on, most people don't have the

142
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.279
powerful stomach acid that they're meant to have to aid

143
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:42.840
in the digestive process. So you can actually strengthen and

144
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.519
create a better environment in your stomach through like they have,

145
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:52.159
like gut healing protocols and things. But some people need

146
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.879
to take hydrochloric acid capsules with their meals in order

147
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.080
to help them break down food. This is really a

148
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.559
great thing to do if you're a candidate for it,

149
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:08.240
and a lot of people are because the environment that

150
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:12.879
is unfriendly for parasitic growth is the best environment for

151
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.039
you to break your food down. And if you have

152
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.200
the right acid content and pH balance in your stomach,

153
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.000
then you don't have to worry about these organisms growing

154
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:29.159
in your body and wreaking havoc on your gut. So

155
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.360
the protocols help also to create an inhospitable environment for

156
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.679
the parasites. Barbara O'Neil often adds that herbs like wormwood

157
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.960
help restore the bitter taste receptors in the body. These

158
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:49.480
receptors are linked to biole production, liver detoxification, and improved elimination.

159
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.679
So a lot of people also don't realize that as

160
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:57.320
far as detoxing your liver, it's the bitter herbs. The

161
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.879
bitter herbs help detox your liver, so if you are

162
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.919
familiar with that. A lot of health advocates will recommend

163
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.279
drinking lemon water the juice of a lemon during the

164
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.440
day with some water, and sometimes they'll throw some salt

165
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.519
in there to you know, or stevia maybe to make

166
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.960
it not you be so sour. But the just simply

167
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:26.720
drinking lemon water can help with liver detoxification. So there

168
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.279
are some other herbs now with modern cleanses that people

169
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.879
will use, and there's been some updated protocols today which

170
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:38.600
combine the Clark Protocol the three foundational herbs with other

171
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:44.720
herbs like nim something called powdarko oregana oil which is

172
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:50.720
Dave Asbury's favorite antimicrobial garlic berberine. If you've ever heard

173
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.879
of that. I'm going planning on doing a podcast on

174
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.120
it because it helps with insulin. It helps you to

175
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:04.559
reduce the insulin production when you go eat. It keeps

176
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:08.000
you from craving sugar. So that is a really good one.

177
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.039
And it's also known as a strong antioxidant. There's just

178
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:16.080
so many benefits. This is kind of an interesting one.

179
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.600
Another one is all of leaf, which people wouldn't realize

180
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.919
or think of, but it's a great thing to have

181
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.759
in your cabinet time. Pumpkin seeds. You may have heard

182
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.200
Doctor Ax talk about these pumpkin seeds are great for

183
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.679
killing parasites. Great fruit seed extract. People will purchase that

184
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.759
and they will put some drops into water and drink

185
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:45.879
that a couple times a day, Quasia golden seal, and

186
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.679
something called mimosa pudica, which becoming extremely popular for the

187
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:57.279
rope room rope worm cleansing. People are starting to become

188
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.360
more familiar with the different types of parasite protocols as

189
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.600
they're waking up and realizing that, hey, we've all got parasites,

190
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.919
and it used to be considered a one of those

191
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.440
things that was a conspiracy theory, and they're starting to

192
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.039
find out, hey, this actually isn't. Other cultures have been

193
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.639
cleansing for parasites for many, many years and was the

194
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.320
normal thing in their culture, and it's now becoming something

195
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.000
that's more mainstream now in the American culture. So as

196
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.960
people become more aware and they do their research, they're

197
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.399
starting to share with each other the different things that

198
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:37.840
they use. Now. The mimosa pudica, discussed by many functional

199
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.639
doctors today, becomes a sticky gel in the intestines and

200
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.159
it traps parasites and their biofilm and debris and moves

201
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:50.519
it through the gut. So you might consider some lifestyle

202
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:56.759
changes because parasites can cause so many problems in your life,

203
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.399
so many issues. They can keep you from sleeping. They

204
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.880
can cause mood problems, they can cause you to crave things.

205
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:09.400
They can really cause so many issues, so making a

206
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.039
changes in your lifestyle. Herbal cleanses work best when they're

207
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:19.079
paired with zero sugar, limited carbs. People will say no dairy,

208
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.759
but that can be arguable. Low fruit except green apples

209
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:32.400
or berries, no alcohol, increased hydration, definitely magnesium for bowel motility.

210
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:39.759
Magnesium isn't just to help for regularity, it's also fantastic

211
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:43.440
to help is There's actually a product called Calm, and

212
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.839
it's also really great for stress. You also would want

213
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:54.839
to maybe perhaps start incorporating digestive enzymes along with your meals,

214
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.839
start taking a reputable probiotic, and put yourself on a clean,

215
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:06.200
whole food diet. I was listening to Jordan Ruben's free

216
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.359
course he has right now with the Biblio Diet, and

217
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:14.920
he was explaining that if there's more than one ingredient,

218
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.640
it's it's probably better to pass over the food, like

219
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:23.640
for instance, apple just has apple, and a steak is

220
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.720
just beef and so on, and he was saying, you know,

221
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.079
the more you stick to that, that's the health the

222
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.440
healthier the diet you're going to have. Doctor Huberman frequently

223
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.200
mentions that gut motility and the vagus nerve play a

224
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:43.319
massive role in cleansing pathogens. Naturally, movement, breath work, and

225
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:51.079
stress reduction accelerate your detox. When we return, we'll explore fasting,

226
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.119
which is one of the most powerful, ancient and scientifically

227
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:01.799
supported ways to starve parasites and le set your body's

228
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:30.720
inner terrain. Fasting isn't just spiritual, its biological warfare against parasites.

229
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:37.000
Dave Asprey, Gary Breca, and countless metabolic doctors agree that

230
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:42.200
fasting drops glucose levels to levels parasites cannot thrive on,

231
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:49.519
increases atophogy, which is your cell cleanup, enhances immune activity,

232
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:57.759
reduces gut inflammation, starves fungal overgrowth, and improves digestion and

233
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.400
stomach acid. Barbara O'Neil has spoken for years about how

234
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:12.200
parasites feed on sugar, fermented carbohydrates, undigested food, and mucus.

235
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:20.519
When you stop feeding parasites, something remarkable happens. Parasites detach, weaken,

236
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:26.480
and release their grip on the intestines. Types of fasts

237
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:31.000
that might help are the intermittent fasting, the sixteen eight

238
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:34.599
or eighteen six where you fast for sixteen hours and

239
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.240
then you have your meals during an eight hour pocket,

240
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.680
or you fast for eighteen hours and you only eat

241
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.440
your meals during a six hour pocket. Also if you

242
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:46.839
are if you think you can handle it, a twenty

243
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.640
four hour water fast, a green juice fast, a bone

244
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:56.880
broth fast, herbal tea fasting, or what they call the

245
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:02.160
omad omad, the one meal a day fast. Jordan Reuben

246
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.880
often recommends broth based fasting because minerals and collagen help

247
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:14.039
heal the gut as parasites die off. Now, if you've

248
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:18.519
ever heard of atophagy, which is the body's cleanup cycle,

249
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:23.680
it's really a fantastic thing that kicks in when we fast.

250
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:30.240
Doctor Huberman frequently breaks down the science behind autophagy. When

251
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:35.920
the body clears dead cells, pathogens, toxins, and metabolic junk

252
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:45.599
during a fast, parasites weaken, fungal colonies collapse, biofilms break down.

253
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.799
In case you're wondering what a biofilm is, it is

254
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:54.599
a like a protective mucous layer that parasites will coat

255
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:59.200
themselves in to keep themselves alive in your body. So

256
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.279
you really want those biofilms to break down because you

257
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.880
want to get into the parasite colony and remove it

258
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:11.400
from your body. And also during a fast, the lymphatic

259
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:17.839
system accelerates, the liver releases backed up toxins, and this

260
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:24.200
is why many people experience fog lifting, skin clearing, energy returning,

261
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:32.039
bloating disappears, and cravings will stop. So you can combine

262
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.680
herbs and fasting for even better results during a parasite

263
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:44.359
cleanse fast. Helpful additions include activated charcoal. It binds toxins

264
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:51.079
as parasites die. Now, I just did a podcast on

265
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.119
activated charcoal last week, and I really highly recommend listening

266
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:59.599
to it because I absolutely love activated charcoal. People will

267
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.240
often times they'll do a fast or a cleanse and

268
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.680
they forget to take something like take They call it

269
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:11.240
a binder, and activated charcoal will pull out what's what's

270
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.200
been killed. So you kill the parasites with your protocol

271
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.920
and the charcoal will help to carry them out of

272
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:22.680
the body. So some of the other helpful additions cilium

273
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.440
husk or bentonite clay, and bentonite clay is another one

274
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.079
that is just absolutely phenomenal and fantastic. It's got minerals

275
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.720
in it. It's great for you can use it inside

276
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:36.160
and out. Castor oil packs are great for liver support

277
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:46.160
during a cleanse, Sauna therapy, electrolytes, mineral drops, and oxygenated magnesium.

278
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:51.160
So in case you didn't know, there's multiple types of magnesium,

279
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:56.440
people will oftentimes take only one kind, not realizing that

280
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:01.319
there's multiple cimes. The calm magnesium is one of the

281
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.160
most that particular brand is one of the most well

282
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.039
known that people will purchase at health food stores. But

283
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.440
this one isn't the best one for a cleanse. The

284
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.960
oxygenated magnesium is the one recommended during a parasite fest

285
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:20.720
Gary Breca emphasizes keeping the bowels moving because parasite dioph

286
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:28.720
releases ammonia, acids, proteins, and neuro toxins. Now, in regard

287
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:33.359
to keeping the bowels moving, you might consider, with of

288
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:38.480
course your doctor's approval, doing some enemas to keep things

289
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.160
flowing out of the body as you're trying to get

290
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.720
rid of the parasite in the body or the dead

291
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:49.960
parasites during a cleanse. When we come back, we'll talk

292
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.400
about one of the most controversial topics in wellness today,

293
00:24:55.400 --> 00:25:01.000
the parasite cancer connection. What scientists are our discovering is

294
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:30.440
surprising and important. This is where the conversation becomes both

295
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:38.039
profound and deeply important. A growing number of studies, many

296
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:44.480
published in journals of oncology and parasitology, show connections between

297
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:51.119
liver flukes and bile duct cancer, schistosoma which are blood

298
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:59.000
flukes and bladder cancer, and tapeworms forming cysts mistaken for tumors,

299
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:06.880
as well as parasite induced chronic inflammation leading to mutations.

300
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.359
Doctor Barbara O'Neil has explained for years that a toxic

301
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:17.880
internal environment creates stagnant limph, congested tissues, and fermented waste,

302
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:24.160
the breeding ground for cancer cells. Parasites contribute to this

303
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:33.799
environment by stealing nutrients, excreting metabolic waste, weakening immunity, and

304
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:41.920
creating chronic inflammatory cycles. So in regard to excreting metabolic waste,

305
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:48.680
keep in mind that your parasite load means more metabolic

306
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.480
waste in your body, and a lot of people don't

307
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:55.200
realize that a lot of the poop that you poop

308
00:26:55.240 --> 00:27:00.480
out is pooped out by parasites, something that maybe is

309
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:05.200
not comfortable to know, but maybe if that motivates you

310
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:11.359
to do a parasite glense. It's worth mentioning now. Doctor

311
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.079
Holde Clark took this full further claiming this, she says,

312
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:20.759
quote cancer is always associated with a particular parasite unquote.

313
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:27.960
Even if that's an extreme statement, the underlying idea remains valuable.

314
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:35.359
A weakened terrain invites disease, and cleansing the terrain restores health.

315
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.920
Jordan Reuben often says, quote, you can't heal a toxic

316
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:47.119
body with toxic habits unquote. Human biologist Gary Breka echoes

317
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:53.359
this by reminding people that toxicity equals deficiency, and deficiency

318
00:27:53.759 --> 00:28:01.559
equals dysfunction. When people begin parasite cleansing, their ravings change,

319
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:06.960
their thoughts feel clearer, they sleep better, their skin glows,

320
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:14.839
their gut becomes efficient, their immune system reawakens. It's as

321
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:20.200
if the body returns closer to its original blueprint, its

322
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:25.359
divine design. So here are some ways that you can

323
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:30.640
maintain a parasite free lifestyle. And keep in mind, I

324
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.640
know it takes time to create new habits. So some

325
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.240
of these things you might dive into and feel, oh,

326
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.039
I just can't do this, But you know what you

327
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:45.240
can do this just keep trying. You know if you fail.

328
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:47.799
For instance, one of the ways to create a parasite

329
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.920
free lifestyles to avoid sugar. Well, that's a really hard

330
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.599
thing to do. So many of us are addicted to sugar.

331
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:56.880
And even if we go for sugar without sugar for months,

332
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.559
we could end up at that pot luck where we

333
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:02.839
eat that piece of cake and we end up falling

334
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:05.039
off what I call falling off the wagon, and we

335
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:08.960
have to start all over again. Another way to maintain

336
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:14.000
a parasite free lifestyle is to avoid processed foods. Now,

337
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.079
try I know this doesn't sound fun, but try to incorporate.

338
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:22.480
Incorporate some weekly fasting. Pick a day where you fast,

339
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:24.880
you do a water fast, or maybe a day where

340
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:26.920
you just say, you know, today I'm just going to

341
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:33.039
eat dinner. Consume fermnted foods. This is great for gut health.

342
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:38.000
There are so many different fermented foods, kimchi and sour

343
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:43.759
kraut i like kombucha. Try to support your liver health

344
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.160
in other ways, like maybe by drinking some of that

345
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:52.000
lemon water. Keep yourself hydrated. How else are you supposed

346
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.000
to move these toxins out of the body If you're

347
00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:01.319
always dehydrated, use seasonal herbal cleanses, So do a little

348
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.240
bit of research. You don't have to do hold of

349
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.400
Clark's cleans You can go look online and see the

350
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.759
other cleanses out there and do your own deep dive.

351
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:15.680
I know, I love Marcus Rothkranz's parasite clans. I think

352
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.599
it's pretty easy. He's got a website and a YouTube

353
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:23.319
channel called The Healthy Life, and his parasite cleans is

354
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.920
so easy and it comes in. There's these capsules and

355
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:30.680
they're all in one capsule, all of the different herbs,

356
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:33.759
and he just has you take so many per day

357
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:40.519
and they're all together. Everything's there. Another way to maintain

358
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:44.000
a parasite free lifestyle, and this is pretty easy. If

359
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:48.079
you like these types of things, eat more garlic, onions, ginger,

360
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.400
and oregano. I also did a podcast on oregano, and

361
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.799
you don't have to necessarily eat the oregano fresh. You

362
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.920
could just buy oregano capsules and if you listen to

363
00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:03.079
the podcast, you're going to be really really surprised on

364
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:08.799
the health benefits of taking original oil capsules. Another way

365
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.079
to maintain a parasite free lifestyle is to keep your

366
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.880
stress low. I know this is hard, but if you

367
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.119
need to sit down and write your schedule down during

368
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:20.240
the week and figure out moments where you could just

369
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:24.039
get quiet and get alone, and maybe you can. If

370
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:26.680
you're a Christian, you could read the Bible, read some

371
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.640
meditate on some scripture like some psalms or some proverbs,

372
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:34.799
and pray and just get yourself to calm down and

373
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:42.240
get some more clarity. A body that is clean, oxygenated, mineralized,

374
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:47.640
and moving is a body parasites cannot thrive in. And

375
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:52.640
that is the goal, not just to kill parasites, but

376
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:59.640
to restore the terrain to God's intended order. Thank you
