Parasite cleansing 101
If you've never done a parasite protocol, this is the one to read first. It's the most-misunderstood cycle we run — and the one that tends to change people's lives.
Are we really talking about parasites?
Yes. Microscopic and otherwise. Most adults carry some load — particularly anyone who's traveled, eaten sushi, owned pets, or lived in close quarters with other humans. The question isn't 'do I have them' so much as 'how heavy is the load and what is it doing to my energy, my gut, and my sleep.'
Medical conventional medicine in the US largely ignores this category outside of obvious tropical infections. That doesn't mean low-grade chronic loads don't matter. They do.
Common signs of a heavy load
Not diagnostic — just patterns we see in people who do parasite work and feel meaningfully different after:
- ●Sugar cravings that don't track with hunger
- ●Bloating that comes and goes for no reason
- ●Itchy skin, especially at night
- ●Tooth-grinding
- ●Brain fog or low mood that nothing else explains
- ●Energy crashes around the full moon
If three or more of those land, a parasite cycle is worth running.
Why timing matters
Parasites are most active around the full moon. We run our protocols on a lunar window — start three days before the full moon, run the kill phase through three days after. You'll feel the difference vs running it any random week.
This isn't woo. It's reproductive biology. Many parasites cycle their reproduction with lunar light. Catching them at peak activity catches more of them.
The herbs
Black walnut hull, wormwood, clove — the classic combination, sometimes called the Hulda Clark triad. Plus support: oregano, cayenne, neem, mimosa pudica seed, and bitter greens like dandelion.
Every bottle in our parasite kit pairs with the others. Don't run individual herbs as a one-off — the combination matters.
The binder window
Two hours after each parasite-killer dose, take a binder. Activated charcoal, bentonite clay, or a binder capsule. This is non-negotiable. Without it the die-off recirculates and you'll feel awful — that's what people mean by a 'detox reaction,' and it's avoidable.
If you forget a binder, take it as soon as you remember. If you're more than four hours late, just take it before bed and continue normally the next day.
Eat for the cycle
During the kill phase, lean alkaline. Heavy on greens, sea moss, and bitter foods (dandelion, arugula, watercress). Drop refined sugar entirely (parasites feed on it). Drop alcohol entirely (it stresses the liver right when you're asking it to work).
Load approved amplifiers into every plate: raw onion, cayenne, oregano, cloves. A cup of parasito tea between meals is the low-cost daily anchor.
Who shouldn't run this
First-time cleansers: start with the 7-day general detox to get your drainage open. Pregnant or nursing women: wait until after. Anyone on chemotherapy or major prescription protocols: talk to a practitioner first.
Kids under 12: only with practitioner guidance, and only the gentlest formulations.
