Parasites 101: Signs, Dangers & Natural Remedies That Actually Work

There could be something alive inside you right now.

Not a metaphor. Not a figure of speech.
I mean an actual parasite—a worm, or worse—living, feeding, and reproducing inside your body.

And here’s the scariest part:
You wouldn’t even know it.

If you’ve ever eaten sushi, kissed your dog, sipped from a public fountain, or walked barefoot on a summer day…
You’ve already opened the door.

Parasites don’t care if you’re clean. Or vegan. Or take supplements every day.
They don’t care where you live, what your income is, or how often you wash your hands.

They just want one thing: a host.
And guess what? That host… might be you.

In this article, I’m going to show you where parasites hide, how they silently destroy your health from the inside out, and the natural (and actually effective) ways you can kick them out for good.

Some of what you’re about to read will sound like science fiction.
Some of it may gross you out.
But all of it is real.

And if you’ve been struggling with mysterious symptoms—digestive issues, fatigue, skin problems, mood swings, weight changes—this might just explain everything.

Let’s dig into the dirty truth.

And if you believe this article is not for you… it’s because you are not aware of parasite symptoms. You can find them here.

The Shocking Truth: Parasites Are More Common Than You Think

If you think parasites are just a third-world problem… think again.

They’re in our water. Our food. Our pets. Even the soil we walk on.
And chances are? They’re already in you.

According to the CDC, millions of people in the U.S. alone are walking around with parasites, and most of them have no clue. Globally, it’s worse: an estimated 1.5 billion people are infected with parasitic worms known as “soil-transmitted helminths”.

Let me repeat that: 1 in 5 humans on this planet is infected with worms.
Not metaphorical ones. Real ones. With mouths. That latch onto your intestines and drink your blood.

And while some of them do cause explosive diarrhea and fevers… the really dangerous ones don’t make a scene.
> They lie low. They grow.

They steal your nutrients, dump toxic waste into your bloodstream, and quietly ruin your health over time.

Here are just a few of the worst offenders lurking all around us:

Pinworms – The most common worm infection in America. These tiny parasites infect 209 million people globally. All it takes is a few microscopic eggs on your fingers or under your nails—and suddenly they’re colonizing your intestines and laying eggs around your rectum at night. If you or your kids ever had itchy nights, this might be why.
Toxoplasma gondii – Aka the cat poop parasite. Up to 50% of the world’s population is infected. You can get it from touching cat litter, eating rare meat, or handling raw produce. Once inside, it can embed in your brain—possibly affecting your mood, behavior, and even your personality.
Hookworms – These nasty little creatures burrow through your skin when you walk barefoot outside. Then they migrate through your lungs and settle into your intestines, where they latch on with hooked teeth and drink your blood—daily. Infected people often have no idea until they’re severely anemic, weak, and struggling with brain fog and shortness of breath. Some even develop “ground itch” at the site of entry—a rash where the worm first broke in.
Giardia – This microscopic menace causes what campers call “beaver fever.” It spreads through contaminated water or food and causes explosive diarrhea, gas, bloating, and nausea that can drag on for weeks. It’s especially sneaky because you can still spread it for weeks after symptoms disappear, meaning entire families can unknowingly pass it around.
Tapeworms – Think you’re safe just because you cook your food? Think again. Tapeworm eggs can live in undercooked pork, beef, or even on poorly washed veggies. Once inside, they grow into ribbon-like monsters that can stretch 20+ feet long inside your intestines. And if you accidentally swallow the wrong form (like pork tapeworm eggs), the larvae can migrate and form cysts in your brain—causing seizures and even death.
Toxocara – This one’s often picked up from dogs and cats. The eggs are passed through pet feces, and all it takes is touching your mouth after cleaning up after your furry friend. Once inside, the larvae can migrate to your eyes, liver, or even your central nervous system. Toxocara infections cause blindness in dozens of children every year in the U.S. alone, according to the CDC.
Cryptosporidium – This microscopic parasite is chlorine-resistant, which means it can survive in treated swimming pools and drinking water. One gulp of contaminated water, and you’re stuck with stomach cramps, watery diarrhea, dehydration, and weeks of gut misery. In immunocompromised people, it can be deadly.

Ascariasis is a disease caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascari

The most disturbing part?
All of these are common.
Not rare, not exotic, not “only in tropical places.”
They are right here. In the U.S. In Europe. In your neighborhood.

And the CDC, World Health Organization, and medical journals have been screaming about it for years, but most people still have no idea what’s living inside them.

Because here’s what makes parasites especially scary:

They can live inside you for months or years without causing dramatic symptoms.
Many of them are resistant to standard tests, which means you can be told “everything looks normal” even when you’re infected.
And they don’t just sit there. They move, they migrate, and they make your body their home.

Parasites are the perfect freeloaders:
They eat your food, drink your blood, leave toxic waste behind… and you get to deal with the damage.

Think you’re clean?
Let me ask you:

Have you ever had a pet?
Eaten sushi?
Traveled internationally?
Gotten food poisoning and never quite felt right afterward?

Then yes—you’ve likely been exposed.

And while most doctors don’t test for parasites unless you’re crawling with symptoms or fresh off a jungle expedition…
That doesn’t mean they aren’t inside you.
It just means they’re still getting away with it.

If you’ve ever touched a doorknob, let your dog lick your hand, or walked barefoot outside…
There’s a good chance you’re carrying parasites right now.

And the worst part?
They’re not just freeloading—they might be the invisible culprits behind your fatigue, bloating, cravings, or brain fog.
I didn’t realize it either—until I found out the hard way.

I needed something that worked, fast. No expensive treatments. No lab tests. Just natural remedies that kill parasites and repair the damage they leave behind.

That’s when I found The Forgotten Home Apothecary, and I swear, it changed everything.
It’s packed with over 250 step-by-step herbal recipes, including the exact ones I used to flush out worms and finally feel like myself again.

And it’s not just for parasites. I’ve also made:

Nature’s Amoxicillin (better than the stuff in your cabinet)
Penicillin Soup for colds and gut infections
Jello Flu Shots (kids love them)
Hot Salve for Back Pain
Herbal Sleeping Pills for parasite-induced insomnia
And even a Medicinal Smoking Blend that helps kill lung bugs

That’s just scratching the surface.
If you’ve got strange symptoms no one can explain, or just want to take back control of your health—

How Parasites Wreak Havoc on Your Gut and Overall Health

Okay, so they’re in your body. Gross.
But what exactly are they doing in there?

Short answer: they’re wrecking the place.

Parasites aren’t just passive hitchhikers. They’re more like houseguests who drink your wine, steal your groceries, clog your toilet, and smear filth all over the walls before passing out in your bed.

They:

Eat your nutrients
Drink your blood
Puncture your gut lining
Weaken your immune system
And leave behind toxic waste that your body has to clean up

Let’s break it down (and try not to gag while we do).

1. They Turn Your Gut Into a Warzone

Most parasites start in your digestive system, and they don’t come in peace.

Take hookworms: they bite into your intestinal wall and drink your blood, leaving raw wounds that leak iron and protein into your stool.
Or roundworms like Ascaris, which can block your intestines entirely with a writhing, tangled mass of worms. (Yes, that’s a thing.)

Even the smaller parasites like Giardia or Cryptosporidium cause inflammation and irritation of your gut lining, leading to diarrhea, bloating, cramps, and nutrient malabsorption.

Over time, this kind of damage can lead to leaky gut syndrome, where your intestinal barrier becomes so worn down that undigested food particles and toxins slip into your bloodstream. That can trigger everything from food sensitivities to full-blown autoimmune issues.

One of the biggest mistakes people make after a parasite cleanse?
They forget to rebuild their gut, leaving the door wide open for another invasion.

A professional herbalist revealed one plant that changes everything.
It contains a rare prebiotic fiber that doesn’t just feed good bacteria—it fortifies your gut barrier, helping your body:

Eliminate parasites faster
Resist reinfection
And even lower the risk of leaky gut, IBS, and colon issues

I had never even heard of this plant until I watched her explain it—and honestly, I wish I’d known sooner.
If your gut feels off, or you’re still dealing with strange symptoms long after cleansing…

👉 Watch the step-by-step video here to discover the gut-healing plant she recommends—and how to use it today.

2. They Rob You Blind (Nutrient Theft Is Real)

Parasites are freeloaders. They literally steal the nutrients your body needs to function.

Hookworms suck blood. Tapeworms absorb vitamin B12, iron, and fat before your body gets a chance.
And protozoa like Giardia sabotage your digestion, making it hard to absorb any nutrients at all.

The result?
Even if you eat like a wellness guru, you can end up:

Chronically tired
Losing weight for no reason
Or worse—anemic and malnourished despite a “healthy” diet

If you’re taking supplements and still feel exhausted, bloated, or foggy…
It might not be the vitamins. It might be what’s eating your vitamins.

3. They Mess With Your Mood and Brain

It gets weirder.

Some parasites don’t just mess with your gut—they may hijack your brain.

Toxoplasma gondii (that cat poop parasite) has been linked to increased risk-taking behavior, mood swings, and even schizophrenia in some studies
Other parasites can cause neuroinflammation, which affects memory, focus, and mental health.

Ever felt:

Spacey or foggy for no reason?
Anxious or irritable out of nowhere?
Like your body isn’t keeping up with your mind?

Some researchers now believe chronic parasite infections might be part of the reason why.

4. They Weaken Your Immune System

Parasites are smart. They’ve evolved to suppress your immune system just enough to avoid getting kicked out.

Some release chemicals that dampen your white blood cells or interfere with your body’s natural defenses.
Others stir up chronic low-grade inflammation, keeping your body in a constant state of stress and reactivity.

Over time, this makes you more vulnerable to:

Allergies
Autoimmune flare-ups
Frequent colds and infections

And the kicker? Most of this happens without any obvious sign. You just feel… off. Tired. Inflamed. Sensitive. And it drags on.

5. They Don’t Always Stay in Your Gut

This is where things get really disturbing.

Some parasites are travelers. They don’t just settle in your intestines—they migrate to your organs, muscles, eyes, or brain.

Pork tapeworms (Taenia solium) can lodge cysts in your brain, causing seizures and life-threatening swelling
Toxocara larvae have been found in lungs, liver, and even eyeballs, leading to organ damage or blindness
Schistosoma flukes crawl through your bladder and liver, causing inflammation, scarring, and even cancer in some cases

And in one particularly bizarre case, scientists found that a tapeworm actually gave a man cancer by transmitting mutated cells into his body.
Yeah. Let that sink in.

So no, parasites don’t just “make your stomach hurt.”

They invade, consume, poison, migrate, and sometimes… mutate.
And all the while, you’re just trying to live your life—maybe even blaming your symptoms on stress or age or “just something I ate.”

But now you know better.

If all this sounds overwhelming… it is.
But there’s a way to fight back strategically.

Everything I’ve learned about healing from parasite damage came from Nicole Apelian’s book, The Holistic Guide to Wellness: Herbal Protocols for Common Ailments.
She created an entire Parasite Protocol that doesn’t just help flush them out, it shows you exactly how to repair your gut and rebuild your defenses.

It’s science-backed, easy to follow, and shockingly thorough—complete with step-by-step instructions on what herbs to take and what foods to eat at every part of the day: morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and even before bed.

If parasites have been silently wrecking your gut, this is the roadmap to take it back.

10 Silent Signs You Might Already Be Infected

Here’s the twisted genius of parasites: they rarely announce themselves.
Most don’t cause sudden, dramatic symptoms like the movies.
They’re stealthy. Strategic. And they prefer it when you chalk everything up to “just getting older” or “something you ate.”

But your body is trying to tell you something.
Here are 10 overlooked signs that parasites might already be setting up shop inside you:

1. Digestive Issues That Just Won’t Quit

Cramps, bloating, gas, or diarrhea that comes and goes?
You might think it’s stress. Or maybe that oat milk latte. But parasites—especially ones like Giardia, Blastocystis, and hookworms—can irritate your gut lining and mimic IBS.
If you’re always bloated no matter what you eat, don’t rule out creepy crawlies.

The only thing that actually made a difference for me?

Not another probiotic. Not fiber. Not cutting dairy.
It was getting serious about herbs that repair the gut lining and help rebuild the terrain parasites love to destroy.

Plants like slippery elm, marshmallow root, and plantain act like a soothing bandage for your inflamed intestines.
Then reishi, turkey tail, and lion’s mane go deeper—helping modulate the immune system, restore balance to your microbiome, and support your gut-brain axis so the fog finally lifts.

If you’re into DIY, you can absolutely make this kind of herbal combo at home.
But if you’d rather skip the sourcing, drying, and double-extracting…
👉 Nicole’s Balanced Gut Tincture already combines these exact herbs in one powerful formula.

Either way—these are the plants your gut has been waiting for.

2. Unexplained Weight Loss (or Gain)

Some parasites literally eat your food before you can absorb it, stealing your calories and nutrients. That can cause sudden weight loss, even if you’re eating plenty.
But here’s the twist: others mess with your hormones and insulin, making you store fat and crave sugar.
So yes, parasites can cause weight gain, too. And those sugar cravings? That might be them demanding dessert.

3. Fatigue That Feels Like a Fog

You sleep eight hours… and wake up exhausted.
You drink coffee… and still feel like your brain is wrapped in cotton.
Parasites can cause chronic fatigue by triggering inflammation, causing anemia (blood loss), or literally hijacking your nutrient supply.
If you’ve felt tired for months and no blood test can explain it? This might.

4. Skin Problems and Itching

Dry patches. Rashes. Hives. Unexplained acne or eczema.
Your skin is often a mirror of what’s happening in your gut, and parasites that damage your gut lining or trigger immune reactions can show up on your skin.
Also: itching around the anus is a classic sign of pinworms—especially at night. If your kid is scratching their bum in their sleep… this might be why.

If the itching gets intense—or if you’re dealing with rashes, dry patches, or irritated skin—you might want something gentle and herbal on hand.
There’s a salve I use that’s made with things like plantain, yarrow, calendula, and arnica—all known to calm swelling, soothe irritated skin, and even help prevent infection on broken or scratched areas.

It’s become my go-to for bug bites, scrapes, chapped skin, and parasite-related itching, especially when kids are involved. I’ll just leave a link here in case you’re looking for some top-quality organic remedy that actually works.

5. Insomnia or Teeth Grinding

You keep waking up around 2–3 am? That’s when your liver is most active—and it’s also when parasites tend to go wild.
Some researchers believe parasites can disrupt your nervous system, causing restlessness, insomnia, and even teeth grinding (bruxism) at night.
If you or your child grinds your teeth in your sleep… creepy, but true: it might be because something is moving.

6. Constant Hunger (or Loss of Appetite)

Some parasites trigger crazy food cravings, especially for carbs and sugar.
Others kill your appetite altogether by making you nauseous or bloated. Either way, they’re hijacking your hunger signals.
If your appetite feels like it’s on a rollercoaster, eating a ton but still feeling weak or thin—it’s time to look deeper.

7. Iron-Deficiency Anemia

Hookworms are notorious for this; they literally drink your blood, slowly draining your iron stores and leading to anemia.
If you’re pale, weak, have brittle nails, or get out of breath easily… and your iron supplements aren’t helping…
You might have more than an iron problem.

8. Brain Fog, Mood Swings, Anxiety

There’s growing evidence that parasites can affect your mood and cognitive function.
They mess with your gut (which is linked to your brain), release toxins, and may even settle in your nervous system.
If you feel anxious, foggy, or depressed—and nothing else explains it—you might not be losing your mind…
Just losing your nutrients.

When I started feeling foggy, snappy, and weirdly emotional, I blamed stress.
Turns out, it wasn’t just stress—it was my gut and nervous system under siege from parasites. And I’m not alone.

There’s a blend I came across—made with ashwagandha, lemon balm, lion’s mane, and reishi—that people won’t stop raving about.
It helps calm the chaos, soothe your nerves, and clear that mental fog parasites love to stir up.

Honestly? I didn’t expect it to work as well as it did. But when I saw the reviews—page after page of people saying it helped with anxiety, mood swings, and brain fog—I figured I’d try it once.

Now it’s something I reach for the minute my head starts spinning and I can’t think straight.
👉 I’ll leave a link here in case you need something like that too.

9. Frequent Infections or Weak Immunity

Parasites weaken your defenses by suppressing immune responses.
That means you might catch every cold, feel worn down all the time, or develop new sensitivities or allergies you never had before.
If your body’s always fighting something, it might be because something inside you is fighting back.

10. Something Moving in Your Stool (Yep…)

Okay, this is the obvious one.
But a lot of people ignore it, or never check. If you’ve seen:

White threads in your poop
Segments that look like rice grains
Gel-like globs or mucus-like blobs

…don’t dismiss it. Many parasites are visible only some of the time, and many more are microscopic.
So, if you do see something weird? Take it seriously.

You don’t need to have all 10 symptoms.
Even two or three should raise red flags—especially if they’ve been going on for months or years with no clear cause.

And here’s the kicker: standard medical tests often miss parasites, especially if they’re only looking at one stool sample or aren’t testing for rarer species.

That’s why so many people go undiagnosed.
That’s why so many people stay sick.
And that’s exactly why this article exists.

How to Kill Parasites Naturally (Without Nuking Your Gut)

So.
You’re suspicious. Maybe even a little horrified.
You’ve checked off a few symptoms… and now you’re wondering:

“Okay, so what do I do about it?”

Here’s the good news:
You don’t need prescription meds that wipe out your gut bacteria or leave you on the bathroom floor.

For centuries, people have used herbs, foods, and natural tinctures to flush out parasites safely and effectively.

And modern science is finally catching up. Many of these remedies have been shown in studies to:

Paralyze or kill parasites
Expel eggs and larvae
Soothe gut damage
And restore balance to your microbiome

Let’s look at the real parasite killers nature gave us—and how you can use them today.

🌿 Nature’s Anti-Parasitic Dream Team

These aren’t your grandma’s herbs. (Actually, they kind of are—but she was right.)

1. Pumpkin Seeds (Cucurbita pepo)

Delicious and deadly… to worms.
They contain cucurbitacin, a compound that paralyzes worms and helps your body flush them out.
They work especially well on tapeworms and roundworms, and they’re easy to use: just eat a handful raw on an empty stomach, or grind them into a smoothie.

You can go deeper into this in How to Eliminate Parasites with Pumpkin Seeds, another article from The Lost Herbs that explains exactly how to use this simple food as a powerful dewormer.

2. Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)

Used since ancient times to kill intestinal worms. Contains thujone and artemisinin, both toxic to parasites.
Wormwood is a key ingredient in traditional parasite cleanses, especially effective against roundworms and pinworms.
⚠️ It’s strong stuff, so it’s usually taken in tincture form, in small doses, or paired with other herbs.

3. Black Walnut Hull (Juglans nigra)

This dark, bitter hull is like chemical warfare for worms.
It contains juglone, which disrupts parasites’ metabolism, and tannins that strip their outer layers.
It’s especially powerful when combined with wormwood and clove as part of a full-spectrum cleanse.

To learn how to use it effectively, check out this black walnut remedy that helps cleanse your intestines of parasites.

4. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)

Here’s why clove is a non-negotiable in any parasite cleanse:
It kills parasite eggs, which most herbs don’t do.
Without this, you might kill the adults but leave the next generation behind.
You can use ground cloves in food, brew it as a tea, or take it in capsules or tinctures.

5. Garlic (Allium sativum)

The vampire of the herbal world also works on real bloodsuckers.
Garlic has allicin, a sulfur-based compound that disrupts parasite membranes.
It’s effective against worms and protozoa like Giardia.
Crushed raw garlic is best—just swallow it like a pill (or mix with honey if you’re brave).

6. Pumpkin Seeds (Cucurbita pepo)

You can go deeper into this in How to Eliminate Parasites with Pumpkin Seeds, another article from The Lost Herbs that explains exactly how to use this simple food as a powerful dewormer.

7. Papaya Seeds

Often tossed out, these are potent parasite killers.
Rich in papain, an enzyme that breaks down protein (including worm bodies).
Studies have shown that papaya seeds can eliminate roundworms and hookworms in children.
Dry them, grind them, and take with honey—or just chew them fresh.

This exact remedy—papaya seeds with honey—might be one of the most powerful parasite flushes you’ll ever try.
And yet… almost no one is using it correctly.

If you’re still dealing with strange gut issues, bloating, itching, or unexplained exhaustion…
this might be the step your body’s been begging for.

Most people toss the seeds. Or guess the amounts. Or use the wrong kind of honey.
But when you get it right, it can flush out parasites without chemicals, without pills—just with what you already have in your kitchen.

👉 Click the image below to see the full step-by-step instructions.
And don’t wait too long—if parasites are inside you, they’re not just sitting there. They’re multiplying.

🧪 Tinctures and Tonics: Your Herbal Arsenal

Tinctures are like herbal shots: small, concentrated doses of anti-parasitic goodness you take daily.

Many people combine black walnut, wormwood, and clove into a 3-in-1 parasite tincture—often taken for 2 weeks on, 1 week off.

Other heavy-hitters include:

Olive leaf extract (antimicrobial, helps kill protozoa)
Oregano oil (rich in carvacrol and thymol, potent against bacteria and parasites)
Neem (used in Ayurveda to kill worms and reduce gut inflammation)

You can also brew parasite teas with herbs like:

Thyme – antimicrobial and antispasmodic
Ginger – soothes the gut and boosts circulation
Turmeric – fights inflammation and supports detox

We covered a powerful combination of these ingredients in Eliminate Parasites from Your Body with This Remedy, an article on The Lost Herbs that walks you through how to mix them into a potent, gut-friendly tonic.

Now, I’ll be honest…

You can mix all of these herbs yourself—source them one by one, dry them, brew them, or double-extract them into a tincture.
But that means waiting 6+ weeks, tracking down ingredients from five different places, and hoping you got the ratios right.

Meanwhile?
The parasites aren’t waiting.
They’re feeding, laying eggs, damaging your gut lining, and keeping you stuck in a cycle of fatigue, bloating, and brain fog.

That’s why I stopped trying to piece it all together—and started using a pre-made formula that already has the heavy-hitting herbs like slippery elm, marshmallow, plantain, reishi, turkey tail, and lion’s mane.

They work together to:

Soothe and seal a damaged gut
Support immune balance
And help your body stay parasite-resistant long after the cleanse is over

If you don’t want to wait six weeks to feel better—or you’re just tired of guessing…

👉 Click here to try the Balanced Gut Tincture and finally make it easy on yourself.

Because the truth is, you’ve already waited long enough.

🥣 Cleansing Broths and Elixirs

Some of the best remedies are also comforting and warm.

If you prefer to sip your way to a parasite-free gut, this homemade anti-parasite broth combines garlic, onion, turmeric, and other kitchen staples into a healing soup that soothes the intestines while flushing out invaders.

You can start your morning with a powerful gut-cleansing tonic: a warm mix of raw apple cider vinegar, crushed garlic, honey, and lemon. This simple elixir helps acidify your digestive tract and flush out lingering parasites. Curious how it works and how to make it? Check out our garlic-and-vinegar parasite-fighting elixir for the exact steps.

One of the most straightforward and effective parasite-cleansing routines uses just two ingredients you likely already have: raw pumpkin seeds in the morning and thyme tea at night. This method helps paralyze and flush parasites by using compounds like cucurbitacin and thymol. You’ll find full instructions in our DIY Antiparasitic Drano guide—and trust us, the name fits.

Who said deworming can’t be delicious? These no-bake bites combine coconut, pumpkin seeds, and raw honey—all known for their antiparasitic effects. Great for kids, travel, or daily maintenance, this is the easiest remedy to sneak into your snack drawer. Here’s how to make them in under 5 minutes: 3-Ingredient Antiparasitic Balls Recipe.

Looking at all these broths, elixirs, pastilles, and capsules…
It might sound like a lot.

Don’t Let Them Come Back: Hygiene & Prevention That Actually Works

Killing parasites is only half the battle.

You also have to stop them from coming back.
Because here’s the nasty truth: parasite eggs can live on surfaces, under your nails, in your sheets, and on your pet’s fur for weeks.

If you don’t clean up properly during (and after) a cleanse, you might just reinfect yourself… and start the cycle all over again.

Here’s how to stop that from happening:

🧼 Wash Your Hands Like It’s a Religion

After using the bathroom
After touching pets
Before cooking or eating
Soap. Warm water. 20 seconds minimum. Every time.
(Hand sanitizer doesn’t kill parasite eggs. Sorry.)

Washing your hands is a must—but have you ever stopped to read what’s actually in your soap?

Most commercial personal care products are loaded with hormone disruptors, synthetic fragrances, and chemical preservatives that do more harm than good.
And it’s not just soap.

Shampoos that cause hair thinning—then sell you “hair regrowth” products made with more chemicals
Toothpastes that destroy your oral microbiome
Deodorants with aluminum that clog your pores and trap toxins
And face creams promising miracles… but filled with ingredients you can’t even pronounce

The problem? These are the same products most people use every single day.

That’s why I’ve started replacing them—one by one—with simple, DIY versions that actually work.
And the best part? They’re all inside this one book of natural recipes, including:

A rosemary hair spray that actually supports growth
A gum-strengthening mouthwash (goodbye, gum recession)
A homemade serum, some people are calling “Better Than Botox”
And even natural toothpaste, deodorant, and sunscreen—no lab required

👉 Click here to discover all the personal care recipes inside.
Because healing your gut while putting chemicals on your skin?
That’s like detoxing while drinking from a dirty cup.

🛏 Wash Bedding & Towels in HOT Water

Pinworms and other parasites love soft fabrics. They lay eggs on sheets, PJs, and underwear.

Wash linens every few days during a cleanse
Use high heat on both wash and dry cycles
If you co-sleep with kids or pets, wash everything

🧽 Scrub Under Your Fingernails

Yes, really.
Parasite eggs are microscopic and can get lodged under your nails from scratching or handling contaminated stuff.
Use a nail brush and get under there daily—especially after using the toilet or changing diapers.

🚽 Bleach the Toilet Seat

Pinworm eggs can survive on surfaces for 2–3 weeks.
A quick wipe-down won’t cut it.

Disinfect toilet seats, door handles, and sink faucets daily during a cleanse
Especially if there are multiple people in the house

🐶 Deworm Your Pets

Dogs, cats, even indoor ones, can carry parasites.
They often show no symptoms, but they can still spread eggs through their fur or feces.
Use regular vet-approved deworming, and don’t let them lick your mouth (I know, sorry).

🧦 No Bare Feet Outdoors

Hookworms burrow through the skin. Walking barefoot on soil, sand, or grass (especially after rain) is like offering them a free ticket in.
Wear sandals. Even in the backyard.

🚱 Filter Your Water

Boil it. Filter it. Don’t trust it blindly.
Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and even amoebas can survive in “safe” municipal water systems—especially if you’re in the U.S., camping, or traveling.

🍎 Wash Your Produce (With Something That Works)

A quick rinse won’t do it. Use:

A vinegar soak
Baking soda solution
Or veggie wash
Especially important for leafy greens, berries, and anything grown close to the ground.

🧠 Consider Family-Wide Cleansing

Parasites don’t just infect individuals—they infect households.
If one person in the house has symptoms, assume everyone has been exposed.
Cleansing together helps avoid the ping-pong effect of reinfection.

It’s not glamorous. It’s not fun. But it’s necessary.

Parasites are persistent little monsters, and if you’re not thorough…
They’ll wait—on your pillow, under your nail, in your pet’s fur—and come back when you’re not looking.

Final Warning: Don’t Let Parasites Steal Another Day of Your Health

If you’ve made it this far, you already know:

Parasites aren’t rare.
They’re not exotic.
And they’re not just a problem “other people” have.

They’re real. They’re common.
And they could be the silent reason you feel off, tired, inflamed, anxious, or just not like yourself anymore.

You don’t have to wait until you see something moving in your toilet.
You don’t need to hit rock bottom with your health.
