Full Moon Cleansing
Cleansing during the full moon is recommended as parasites are most vulnerable to antiparasitics during this time. The serotonin levels increase during the full moon, making it easier for parasites to move through the body. Cleansing 5 days before the full moon until 5 days after is ideal, but the specific duration can vary based on individual response.
Impact of Parasites on Mental Health
Parasites can have a significant impact on mental health, often contributing to issues such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and cravings. The connection between parasitic overgrowth and mental health is well-documented, highlighting the importance of addressing parasites when dealing with mental health concerns.
Doomed to Have Parasites from Eating Raw Fish Sushi
Eating raw fish sushi does increase the risk of having parasites. Regular parasite cleansing and ensuring sufficient stomach acid can help mitigate the risk. It is important to be aware and take appropriate measures if consuming raw fish sushi.
Bioenergetic Testing as an Effective Diagnostic Tool
Bioenergetic testing, such as the Quest for machine, has proven to be a valuable tool in identifying energetic imbalances in the body, including nutritional deficiencies, toxins, pathogens, and hormonal imbalances. By combining bioenergetic testing with other diagnostic methods, a holistic approach can be taken to address the client's specific needs.
Key Point 1: Importance of addressing underlying factors
Angela emphasizes the need to address the underlying factors that allow parasites to thrive, such as strong stomach acid and optimal digestion. She highlights the importance of zinc and protein intake for promoting stomach acid production.
Key Point 2: Parasite cleansing approach
Angela suggests a gentle and individualized approach to parasite cleansing. She recommends starting with foundational work, including mineral balancing and addressing drainage and detoxification processes. She advises against taking the same parasite-killing herbs continuously, highlighting the need to switch up the products to prevent parasites from adapting.
Key Point 3: Mindset and nervous system regulation
Angela emphasizes the importance of shifting mindset from fear and belief that parasites are causing harm. She highlights the connection between the nervous system and immune system, and recommends nervous system regulation as a foundational step in addressing parasitic infection. Strategies for nervous system regulation include practicing self-care, reducing screen time, and engaging in activities that calm and nourish the system.
Starting parasite cleansers for children
When it comes to parasite cleansers for children, it is important to start with gentler methods to avoid traumatizing them. Homeopathic remedies, such as castor oil packs, are safe and effective for children aged 10 and younger. It is also crucial to address any underlying factors that may be allowing parasites to thrive in the child's body, such as trauma or stress. Antiparasitic foods can be incorporated slowly into their diet, focusing on one at a time to avoid overwhelming their system.
Cleansing while pregnant or breastfeeding
While intense cleansing methods, such as herbal treatments, should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to potential risks, there are safe options available. Anti-parasitic foods and homeopathic remedies can be used slowly and gently to support the body without harming the baby. It is recommended to focus on nurturing the body during pregnancy and ideally perform a cleanse for six to twelve months before conception. However, if pregnancy occurs unexpectedly, there are still gentle ways to address parasite issues without jeopardizing the health of the mother or baby.
If you've been interested in natural healing for several years you've probably done a parasite cleanse. Holistic healthcare practitioner Angela Stinson has done it all from the pharmaceutical anti-parasitics to turpentine and everything inbetween. She shares her journey of being overweight, being on over 30 medications and losing her hair from cleansing too aggressively. Now she educates her clients to go slow and steady and to always ask the question before starting a parasite cleanse: Is my nervous system ready for it?
In this episode she shares her thoughts on why we need parasites in our body, how anti-parasitic herbs affect our gut microbiome long term, if we have to travel internationally to get parasites, and whether she sees more iron overload or iron deficiency with her clients. She talks about why she likes bio-energetic testing, homeopathy, castor oil packs, and binders. I ask her numerous listener questions including: Does cleansing during the full moon actually do anything? Are we doomed to have parasites if we eat sushi frequently? Garlic enemas and other intense recipes, thoughts on Hulda Clark and the "Zapper", liver flukes, which foods kill parasites, is it safe to cleanse while breastfeeding or pregnant, thoughts on diatomaceous earth and psylliium husk, and a lot more.
