Hey guys, Dr. Axe here.
Today I want to talk to you about how to kill off parasites.
Now I would estimate that about 50% or more Americans carry parasites and you may wonder
where does somebody get a parasite.
One is pork.
If you've ever eaten pork, pork carries parasites and worms.
So if you eat pork consistently, there's a great chance that you have a parasite.
Also, if you've ever been to another country, places like China, India, Africa, Mexico,
even trips to places like Cancun, if you drank the water or if you ate some of their food.
There's a great chance that you could have picked up a parasite specifically if you came
back and had dysentery or some problem with your stool afterward.
It's very, very likely that you have a parasite.
So most of us need to do a parasite cleanse.
You got to kill off.
You got to get rid of the parasite so I want to give you guys some practical tips of what
you need to do in terms of diet and in terms of supplements to actually kill off worms
and parasites in your system.
The number one thing I want to talk about here first is supplements.
When you are supplementing to kill parasites there are actually antiparasite compounds.
I want to show you a few things here.
This is from my buddy Dr. Gez Agolli in Atlanta and this is called Paracomplete.
It's a parasite cleanse and it has things like Thyme leaf, something called Berberine
Sulfate is a natural.
It's something actually . . . sometimes you can find these in coconut.
They can kill off parasites.
Oregano, grapefruit seed extract, Uva Ursi, so there are certain herbs that you can kill
off parasites.
Now the top three for killing off parasites, though, you can get in a tincture form.
You'll see this here, it's black walnut, wormwood, olive leaf, and garlic.
And so again, olive leaf, garlic, black walnut, and wormwood all kill off parasites.
And often times you can find that a parasite cleanse at your local health food store.
And so what I recommend you do is about two weeks of a parasite cleanse taking these supplements.
Then take a week off and jump back on for two more weeks and now that's important is
taking the supplements.
Now what's even more important is your diet.
You can't just take the supplements and not follow this diet I'm recommending.
In order to kill parasites in your system and kill off the bad bacteria and the fungus
that these parasites live off of because parasites, like anything, they have to have a certain
environment to survive.
So you've got to get rid of bad bacteria there.
So you've got to go on a diet that's free of all sugar and all grains.
And when you're doing a parasite cleanse, I even recommend that you limit, your fruit
intake or do no fruit whatsoever, so for breakfast doing rather than a berry smoothie, you just
do a coconut smoothie with coconut, chia seeds and protein powder.
For lunch, do a big salad.
For dinner, do meat and double vegetables, but stay completely away from any form of
sugar, including fruit.
And now another thing I want to talk about is pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds of all foods, they've been shown to be the number one food that kills off parasites.
And so one of the things I've personally done is I'll take, if I'm doing a parasite cleanse,
I'll take pumpkin seeds, and I'll eat one cup a day.
Half a cup I may throw in a smoothie in the morning and another half a cup in the afternoon
or you can make pumpkin seed nut butter or seed butter I guess and you'll throw this
into something like a vitamin mix or blender with pumpkin seed oil.
They carry that in most health food stores.
So pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed oil, and I'll eat this throughout the day as well in order
to kill off parasites.
This is important so remember that diet of no sugar, no fruit, just basically a diet
of just meat, vegetables, and nuts and seeds, and pumpkin seeds are the best.
Also, I recommend doing a few colonics, probably two to three colonics, one a week for three
weeks, while doing your two to four-week parasite cleanse.
If you take the supplements, you get rid of the sugar out of your diet, take the pumpkin
seeds, and follow that protocol, and do it strictly, you can't cheat, here and there.
Follow that really, really closely for that one-month period of time, you should be able
to cleanse yourself of parasites.
And parasites can cause fatigue.
They can cause problems like bloating, other digestive problems, and they can cause a load
of different problems out there.
And again, probably over 50% of people have a parasite and if you eat pork or have a lot
in the past or have recently traveled overseas, you may want to do a parasite cleanse.
All right.
