Parasites & The Full Moon – What’s the connection?

It may sound like some “woo woo” science but many people report amped up symptoms around the full moon.
Could parasites be to blame?

What are parasites?
Parasites are organisms that utilize their host for nutrition and survival. Contrary to popular belief (and maybe ignorance), YES, they are a thing!

They may be unwelcome guests, but we ALL have them. ❌ We can contract them from various sources – contaminated water and food, pets, and even the environment.

Parasites in humans are common (and not all are harmful). They affect millions of people throughout the entire world, including the US. Many people never even know they are infected with parasites because they have few symptoms. Others may experience more serious symptoms.

These tiny alien invaders make themselves at home in our intestines, digestive tracts, and other bodily systems. Often, their presence goes unnoticed, leading to a range of health issues that might seem unrelated. Though they may be the last thing you or your Dr are thinking, if you are experiencing symptoms that are not easily resolved through conventional treatments, parasites may be to blame.

It is estimated that upwards of 70% of people might have parasitic infestations and they can manifest as various symptoms.
There are thousands of different types and species, but 30% are microscopic.
If you have viral issues or suspect heavy metals, you likely have parasites based on the science.
If your symptoms ramp up around a full moon cyclically, you likely have a parasitic infestation.

How do you know if you have parasites?

If you struggle with chronic bloating, fatigue, anxiety, low energy, and other “mystery” symptoms, you may need to dig deeper than just the title of irritable bowel syndrome.

Many different types of parasites can lead to a variety of symptoms but these are 10 of the most common.

The effects of parasitic infestations can be far-reaching, affecting various aspects of our health:

Digestive Discomfort: Bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation are common signs of a parasitic presence disrupting our digestive harmony.

Energy Vampires: Parasites siphon off vital nutrients from our bodies, leading to fatigue and a general feeling of lethargy.

Weakened Immune System: A weakened immune system allows parasites to thrive, making us more susceptible to other illnesses.

Skin Problems: Skin problems like acne, rashes, and eczema can stem from the body’s attempt to eliminate toxins produced by parasites.

Mental and Emotional Impact: Brain fog, mood swings, and anxiety can be tied to the toxic byproducts released by parasites.

How do you get parasites?
➡️ Contaminated tap water, undercooked meat, raw foods, pet kisses, and sushi are great ways to contract parasites.
➡️ Imbalances in the gut microbiome, poor diet, chronic stress, negative sleeping habits, unnecessary use of antibiotics, and other factors can weaken your immune system and predispose you to parasites.
➡️ Heavy metals also make one vulnerable as parasites are “holding tanks” of heavy metals. In animal studies, fish tissue can hold 6-8x the number of heavy metals due to the presence of parasites!

Parasitic infections are a global health concern, affecting millions of people around the world, especially in regions with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water, but those of us in developed countries are NOT unaffected.

Regular parasite cleaning is necessary for optimal health!
It’s commonplace to deworm pets, cattle, and horses regularly, but not humans. Why? Humans are NOT immune to parasitic infections!

Doing a parasite cleanse may be beneficial if you know you have them, or suspect that you might.

Benefits of parasite cleansing may include:

Restored Balance: Just as we spring-clean our homes, our bodies too need periodic cleansing to restore balance and harmony.

Vitality Boost: Removing parasites allows our bodies to regain lost nutrients, leading to increased energy levels and overall vitality.

Improved Digestion: Cleansing helps in improving digestion and relieving digestive discomfort caused by parasites.

Immunity Boost: A cleaner system means a stronger defense against infections and illnesses.

General Wellness: Many individuals report clearer skin, improved mood, and mental clarity after a parasite cleanse.

You can help reduce the number of parasites you pick up by:

Practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly, cooking food properly, and avoiding contact with contaminated water.

Parasitic infections, though not a mainstream topic, need to be talked about more openly! Knowledge is power and supporting your body with regular parasite cleansing holds immense potential to uplift your well-being by addressing issues at their root. As always, it’s essential to approach any new health regimen or supplement protocol with informed caution and guidance from a qualified healthcare provider.
