Most People Have Parasites—But You Don’t Have to Be One of Them
Parasites are everywhere—in our food, water, pets, and even in the soil beneath our feet. 99.9% of the world has parasites, and the worst part? They’re microscopic. This means you don’t have to see them to be infected.
Most people wait until they’re sick, exhausted, or dealing with mysterious symptoms before they think about parasites. But instead of waiting until an infestation happens, why not stop them before they take hold?
In this guide, I’ll share what NOT to do, how to strengthen your body’s natural parasite defenses, and why parasite cleansing isn’t a one-time thing—it’s an essential part of long-term health.
How Do You Get Parasites? Everyday Sources You Might Not Expect
According to the CDC, millions of Americans unknowingly suffer from parasitic infections each year (CDC Source). Parasites aren’t just from traveling to exotic places—they exist right where you live. Here are the most common ways people pick up infections:
🚫 What NOT to Do If You Want to Avoid Parasites
🔹 Don’t Drink Tap or Unfiltered Water – Contaminated water is a major source of parasites. I personally drink distilled water to ensure I’m not ingesting microscopic organisms. If you’re interested, I can share how I make my own using a personal distiller.
🔹 Avoid Eating Raw or Undercooked Meat & Fish – Sushi, rare steak, and even improperly cooked poultry can harbor parasites. Always cook meat fully to kill off potential invaders.
🔹 Don’t Walk Barefoot in Soil or Sand – Hookworms and other parasites enter through the skin. Always wear shoes, especially in wet or sandy areas.
🔹 Avoid Unwashed Fruits & Vegetables – Even organic produce can carry parasites. Rinsing is not enough—use a mix of vinegar, baking soda, or food-grade hydrogen peroxide to remove microscopic eggs.
🔹 Don’t Share Personal Hygiene Items – Parasites can spread through contaminated toothbrushes, towels, and even nail clippers.
🔹 Stop Ignoring Your Pets’ Parasite Risk – If you have cats or dogs, assume they have parasites. Even if they look healthy, they can be constantly reinfecting YOU.
Strengthening Your Body’s Natural Parasite Defenses
Your body has built-in defenses against parasites, but most people have weakened these defenses with modern lifestyles. Here’s how to keep your immune system strong:
🔹 Optimize Stomach Acid – Low stomach acid makes it easier for parasites to survive digestion. Avoid antacids and consider natural ways to boost stomach acid, like apple cider vinegar or betaine HCl.
🔹 Keep Your Gut Microbiome Strong – A balanced gut flora naturally keeps parasites in check. Eat fermented foods, take probiotics, and avoid excessive sugar (parasites love sugar!).
🔹 Support Your Liver & Detox Pathways – A sluggish liver allows parasites to thrive. Certain herbs, like Milk Thistle, Oregon Grape, and Black Walnut (in Para-Dtox & Para-Binder) help keep your detox organs functioning properly.
🔹 Avoid Iron Deficiency – Parasites consume iron, leading to anemia and worsening conditions like POTS & chronic fatigue. Keeping iron levels stable can help your body resist infections.
Best Foods, Herbs, and Supplements to Keep Parasites Out
Even if you follow strict hygiene practices, some parasites will still find their way in. The key is to create a hostile environment so they can’t survive.
🚫 What Parasites Hate (and What You Should Eat More Of)
🔹 Garlic & Onion – Powerful natural antiparasitics that help break down biofilms.
🔹 Pumpkin Seeds & Papaya Seeds – Known to paralyze and eliminate parasites.
🔹 Black Walnut Hulls & Wormwood (Para-Dtox) – Kill parasites at all stages (eggs, larvae, adults).
🔹 Mimosa Pudica (Para-Binder) – Traps and removes parasites in the gut.
🔹 Zeolite Binders – Absorb toxins left behind by dying parasites, preventing recirculation.

Parasite Cleansing Isn’t a One-Time Thing—It’s Maintenance for Life
🔹 You Don’t Just Cleanse Once and Forget It – Parasites have lifecycles. They lay eggs, and those eggs hatch weeks later. If you don’t do regular cleanses, reinfection happens.

🔹 Prevention Is a Year-Round Commitment – After an initial deep cleanse, I recommend doing a maintenance cleanse at least 4 times per year (especially around full moons when parasites are most active!).

🔹 How do I know if I have parasites?
Symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and mood swings can indicate a parasitic infection. Take my Parasite Quiz to find out if parasites are affecting you.
🔹 Is a one-time cleanse enough?
No! Parasites reproduce in cycles, which means their eggs hatch even after treatment. Regular cleansing is key to preventing reinfection.

I personally use distilled water to ensure I’m not ingesting microscopic parasites. Want to know how I make mine? Join my community to learn more!
