Parasites

Parasitic Infections: A Hidden Epidemic

Parasitic infections are a widespread health issue affecting billions of people around the world — often without their knowledge. In fact, it's estimated that around 3.5 billion people globally are infected with parasites. These organisms can significantly damage the body by weakening the immune system and contributing to various diseases. While it’s normal for some parasites to pass through the body occasionally, regular cleansing is crucial to prevent long-term harm.

Parasites are everywhere and affect billions worldwide. Some may cause minimal harm, but others can be extremely damaging. By definition, a parasite is an organism that lives off a host — in this case, humans — using up vital nutrients like vitamins and proteins, and leaving behind toxic waste filled with harmful bacteria and viruses.

Our health is largely determined by the food and water we consume. When the body is healthy, parasites struggle to thrive. Poor health and parasitic overload often go hand in hand.

Three Main Categories of Human Parasites

  1. Protozoa – Microscopic, single-celled organisms such as Plasmodium, Cryptosporidium, and Entamoeba.

  2. Helminths – Multicellular organisms visible to the eye, including flatworms (trematodes), tapeworms (cestodes), and roundworms (nematodes).

  3. Ectoparasites – Larger external parasites like ticks, lice, and mites, which often spread disease.

Example: Trematodes (Flukes)
These are small flatworms that latch onto human tissue, suck nutrients, and lay massive numbers of eggs — up to 50,000 per day.

Here are the main Flukes described by Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark:

  • Fasciolopsis buski – Intestinal fluke linked to colitis, Crohn’s disease, endometriosis, HIV, and cancer.

  • Fasciola hepatica – Liver fluke associated with Crohn’s, chronic fatigue, and allergies.

  • Eurytrema pancreaticum – Pancreatic fluke connected to diabetes and low immunity.

  • Clonorchis – Liver fluke tied to Crohn’s, fatigue, and bile duct/liver cancers.

  • Paragonimus – Lung fluke associated with viruses like EBV and CMV.

Nematodes (Roundworms)

  • Dirofilaria – Known as dog heartworm, linked to migraines and heart issues.

  • Ascaris – The largest intestinal parasite, infecting an estimated 1 billion people, especially children. Transmitted through soil, food, and feces, it can live asymptomatically for years while depleting iron and copper and weakening the bones. It lays up to 200,000 eggs per day and is linked to inflammation, herpes, eczema, psoriasis, joint pain, indigestion, anemia and mumps. Its larval stages are associated with lung disorder, seizures and asthma.

  • Shistosoma – Bladder parasite associated with urinary disorders.

  • Ancylostoma – Hookworms that penetrate the skin and target the intestines, causing anemia, joint pain, schizophrenia, and bleeding.

  • Strongyloides – Related to headaches and joint pain.

  • Enterobius vermicularis – Pinworms infecting about 9 million people worldwide; females lay up to 15,000 eggs.

  • Trichinella – Muscle parasite found in meat and pets, linked to fibromyalgia and bacteria like Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. Can also affect eye muscles.

Tapeworms (Cestodes)

  • Tapeworms attach to the intestine with a head (scolex) and absorb nutrients. Their segmented bodies produce up to 50,000 eggs per segment, and can grow up to 7 meters long.

  • Linked to colds, and produce malonic acid, which disrupts the body’s energy cycle and supports harmful bacteria.

Parasite Food Preferences Based on Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark:

  • Fasciolopsis Buski

    • Food requirement: Onion

    • Preferred solvent: Isopropyl alcohol

  • Fasciola Hepatica

    • Food requirement: Wheat (partly digested into gluten and gliadin)

  • Eurythrema Pancreaticum

    • Food requirement: Limonene (found in lemons, orange oil, pine needles, peppermint, etc.)

    • Preferred solvent: Methanol

  • Clonorchis

    • Food requirement: Oats

  • Strongyloides

    • Food requirement: Potatoes

  • Dirofilaria

    • Food requirement: Milk sugar

  • Ascaris

    • Food requirement: Quercetin (found in cantaloupe, cheese, cucumbers, etc.)

  • Onchocerca

    • Food requirement: Corn

  • Paragonimus

    • Food requirement: Lemon

    • Preferred solvent: Benzene

  • Echinoporyphium Recurvatum and Gastrothylax

    • Food requirement: Cinnamon

  • Echinostoma Revolutum

    • Food requirement: Sorghum, acetaldehyde

Eliminate these foods for 3 weeks to starve most parasites. Then, reintroduce one food per week.

Avoid all food oils during this time, as they feed oncoviruses (released by parasites) and can promote cancerous cell behavior.

Parasites and Allergies

Parasites can trigger food allergies, which then cause inflammation — opening the door to more bacterial and viral infections.

Why Conventional Medicine Falls Short

Clinical medications typically target only one or two parasite types and can cause significant side effects. Eliminating all parasites through conventional methods is nearly impossible.

How To Kill Parasites

According to Dr. Hulda Clark, there are three herbs that can rid over 100 types of parasites. These herbs are:

  1. Green Black Walnut Hulls (Juglans nigra)
    Traditional Native American remedy with juglone, tannins, and iodine. Effective against adult parasites.
    Important: Must be green hulls — not black walnut shells.

  2. Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
    Increases stomach acid and bile, aiding digestion and killing parasite larvae.
    Caution: Not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or infants.

  3. Common Cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata)
    Anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory. Kills parasite eggs.
    Note: Must be high-quality common whole cloves — not ground cloves from grocery stores.

These herbs must be taken together. Killing only one stage (eggs, larvae, or adults) allows others to grow and repopulate the body.

Supportive Nutrients During Cleansing

Dying parasites release toxins like ammonia. Dr. Clark recommends taking ornithine and arginine to detox ammonia and excess nitrogen. These amino acids also support liver regeneration and protect against chemical damage.

Helpful Anti-Parasitic Foods

  • Garlic

  • Honey

  • Pumpkin seeds

  • Papaya seeds

  • Lemon balm

  • pineapple

  • Oregano

While these foods offer great support, they’re not enough on their own to carry out a fully effective parasite cleanse.

How Often Should You Cleanse?

Parasite cleansing should be done at least three times per year to prevent reinfection from people, pets, and your environment. This is why it is important to have the entire family partake in a parasite cleanse, including your animals, to avoid reinfecting one another.

Common Sources of Parasites

  • Water

  • Food

  • Undercooked meat

  • Soil

  • Animals

  • Feces

We can’t always avoid exposure — but we can be prepared to fight back with the right tools.

Important Cleansing Notes

Make sure to use a binder, such as activated charcoal derived from coconut shells when undergoing a parasite cleanse. This will aid in effectively binding both dead and living parasites, facilitating their removal from the body. Activated charcoal should not be used long term, for it can pull nutrients from the body. Only use during an active cleanse and then discontinue. Be sure to take activated charcoal at a different time from your parasite cleanse and other supplements, as it can reduce their effectiveness by absorbing active ingredients.

An alternative binder that can be used is Diatomaceous earth (food grade), for it helps bind and scrape parasites from the gut.

When doing a parasite cleanse, it can be helpful to include a heavy metal detox using parsley and cilantro in tincture form, or by juicing these herbs daily, as parasites are often attracted to heavy metals in the body. Parsley also supports detoxification by helping to open up the body’s natural detox pathways —allowing the detox process to be gentler and more effective.

If you're dealing with serious health issues that you suspect are linked to parasites, a single 4-week cleanse may not be sufficient. In such cases, it's recommended to complete a full 4-week cleanse, take a short break, and then repeat the process. Continue cycling through cleansing and resting until your symptoms improve and your health is restored. 

What we put into our bodies becomes especially important during a cleanse. To support the process effectively, it’s best to avoid foods such as processed sugar, dairy, wheat, corn and soy whenever possible. These foods are known to feed harmful bacteria, pathogens, and parasites, which can make it more difficult for the body to eliminate them. Choosing clean, nourishing foods and hydrating with living water—such as fresh spring water, fruits and vegetables—can greatly enhance the effectiveness and overall success of your cleanse, while also helping to repopulate beneficial bacteria in the gut.
