MY PARASITE CLEANSE – SUMMARY

DISCLAIMER:  This is not medical advice, please see your health care provider. 

This is how I approached creating my parasite cleanses:

• I would have liked to have consulted with a qualified healthcare provider that is knowledgeable about parasites and natural living for guidance, but I have yet to find one. 
  
• When choosing parasite cleanse products, I sourced from reputable companies, tried to work with a local herbalist (but he knew less about anti-parasitic protocols than I did at that point, so I was on my own), and created a combination of anti-parasitic herbs that worked for me. 
• Drank plenty of fresh filtered water (about 64 ounces daily), especially with fresh lemon & cayenne pepper.
• Consumed anti-parasitic foods, spices, and herbs at all meals. 
• Ate foods that support my liver, my immune system, and my overall health (e.g., crucifers (such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, endive and radicchio), bitter greens, sprouted seeds, & sprouted nuts.
• Consumed foods that have healthy fats like olives, avocados, chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, and cold water wild caught fish.  I avoid oils, except small amounts of coconut oil. 
  
• Kept high allergen foods, such as dairy and wheat products to a bare minimum (in the beginning, there was no gluten in my diet at all, as I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance and likely Celiac.  NOTE: Parasitic infections have the same symptoms as Celiac and cause the same health complications. After treatment, all symptoms of Celiac and dairy intolerances "miraculously" went away.)
• Eliminated black tea, coffee, soda, and alcoholic beverages.  I consume organic black tea and organic coffee when not doing my cleanses.  I do not drink soda or alcoholic beverages at all. 
• Eliminated added sugar, refined flour, processed foods, and fried foods.  I try to avoid these at all times.  They are not health promoting.  I use maple syrup, raw honey, organic blackstrap unsulphered molasses (see my blog on molasses for more information), coconut sugar, or organic stevia, when not doing a cleanse.
  
• Eliminated skin care products with ingredients that are toxic.  I use natural products, often making my own. 
• Used natural cleaning products like baking soda, vinegar, borax, and essential oils.
• Got adequate rest.
  
• Got prepared in advance.
• I don’t eat mammals.  Pork is the worst.  Freezing and/or cooking to a “safe” temperature may not kill all parasitic eggs, cysts, and worms in pig meat.  I used to eat red meat medium rare (or rarer).  Since beef tapeworms can be acquired by undercooked beef, I avoid.  No thanks.  Plus I rose up and don’t want to eat mammals again. 
• I don’t eat raw fish … ever.  I did it once and got infected with parasites!
  

Peace & love!
