Parasites are far more common than most people realize, especially in those with complex or chronic health issues. Most physicians receive little training on parasitic infections and may dismiss symptoms when standard tests come back negative. Parasites are widespread even in developed countries, thrive in increasingly toxic environments and can contribute to a wide range of chronic symptoms, from digestive issues to immune dysfunction . They're skilled at avoiding detection, and no single test can reliably rule them out.  That’s why it’s important to look at what parasite tests  can - and can’t - actually tell us. • Stool tests are the most commonly used method, but parasites don’t shed consistently. Even when multiple samples are submitted, parasites or their eggs (ova) may simply not be present in the tiny portion of stool examined. Improper storage, delayed analysis or technician inexperience can further increase false negatives. • Blood tests do not screen for all parasites. Instead, they only check for a limited number of specific organisms the provider already suspects. Many parasites don’t live in the bloodstream at all, and antibody tests may miss active infections or reflect past exposure rather than what’s happening now. • Imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray) may occasionally detect parasites or parasite-related damage in tissues , but usually by accident. These scans are typically ordered to investigate other issues, and smaller or microscopic parasites often go completely unnoticed. • Endoscopy can sometimes identify parasites in the digestive tract, but it is invasive, costly and impractical for most people. Even then, it only visualizes small sections of the gut and may miss parasites hiding elsewhere in the intestines or tissues. • DNA-based testing isn't foolproof. Parasites rapidly degrade their own DNA after death, invalidating results if if samples aren’t preserved and processed quickly. Bottom line: If symptoms are present but tests are negative, parasites shouldn’t automatically be ruled out. If you want a clearer picture, these can help: • Symptom self-assessment : a symptom-based screening used to identify patterns consistent with parasitic activity • Advanced stool testing : (more accurate than basic stool exams) • Certain blood markers : that can suggest parasitic activity Ready to level up your wellness and do a parasite cleanse the right way?

Check out my 9-week-old maltipoo - she’s a whopping 1.8 pounds of fur! I’ve actually never had a puppy before, so I had to do my research before granting my kiddos their Christmas wish. (Posting a pic of us together because… I mean. LOOK at her.) And because I’m not big on toxic medical interventions, you already know I went straight down the rabbit hole of pet vaccinations,  especially the rabies shot. Dogs don’t get religious exemptions, and most vets, groomers, boarders and state laws require it… which made me wonder: What are we NOT being told? Here’s what most owners don’t realize: 1. The dose isn’t based on weight. Every dog - a 6-lb Yorkie or a 120-lb Great Dane - gets the exact same amount. So yes… • Small dogs can get essentially overdosed • Big dogs may be underdosed • And there’s no solid science proving this “one-size-fits-all” approach is safer or more effective 2. The Risk of Rabies Is Extremely Low Rabies rates in the U.S. are very low Pets rarely get rabies but vaccinated dogs have  contracted it Dogs who naturally survive exposure develop lifelong immunity 3. The Vaccine Isn’t Risk-Free Reactions range from mild to serious, including: Lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite Allergic reactions/anaphylaxis Autoimmune flare-ups Tumor formation at injection site And remember, each rabies vaccine contains: Killed virus Aluminum adjuvants Preservatives  like thimerosal (mercury derivative)  Stabilizers  like gelatin or sugars Trace antibiotics, formaldehyde or animal proteins For sensitive pets, this can be a lot for the body to handle. 4.  The Real Rabies Hotspots (According to the CDC) The most recent nationwide rabies data available is from the CDC’s 2022 report. Just six states made up over half of all reported animal rabies cases: Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina and California. Only 6% of the cases were from domestic animals,  and the report didn’t specify whether the pets had been vaccinated.  For perspective, that 6% represented 287 pets. All of these states mandate the rabies vaccine unless a pet qualifies for an exemption. Most exemptions cover puppies under 3 months, indoor-only pets with no exposure to wildlife or animals with a valid medical exemption. 5. Safer Alternatives to Consider While the law may require the vaccine, you may  have options depending on your state:  Titer Testing - A simple blood test to check immunity. Many dogs stay protected for years.  Medical Exemptions - If your dog has a legitimate health concern, a vet can file an exemption in states that allow it. Click here for a sample waiver.  Minimizing Exposure = Keeping pets away from wildlife reduces natural risk more than anything.  Rabies Nosodes (Homeopathic Option) = Inactivated microsodese delivered via liquid tincture to formulate an antibody response. They: Build immune response, naturally Don’t contain toxins Don’t contain virus Are considered very safe Check out Professional Formulas Rabies Nosode (Register with code GEE213 ). 5. You deserve informed consent, not fear. Mandatory vaccine laws don’t take individual health into account. You should be allowed to decide what’s best for your pet based on their: • Age • Breed • Health history • Vaccine sensitivity Bottom line: Rabies comes from wildlife, not pets - so your dog’s real-world risk may be lower than you think. Especially for a little one like mine, it’s worth asking: Does the benefit truly outweigh the risk for this specific animal? Do your homework. Know what’s in the shot. You may even find holistic vets, groomers or boarders nearby who quietly support alternative approaches. Holistic breeders exist, and many independent breeders are more than willing to  delay or skip early jabs  if you request it. You just have to ask. And if your dog isn’t a good fit for the vaccine, ask your vet about a medical exemption. Our pets deserve the same transparency and informed choice we expect for our own bodies.

Y’all… I cannot make this stuff up. Check out this vid of a woman who bought “fresh” salmon from Costco, gets it home, lets it thaw a bit… and there are LIVE WORMS wriggling around in it 🤢🤮 She had to throw the whole thing out. And before anyone says “this is rare,” let me remind you: this is NOT my first time posting about worms in Costco salmon. I’ve got years of receipts on my site if you're feeling brave!😅 Quick PSA before you take another bite… 🪱Studies show up to 90% of wild-caught fish have roundworms now. 🪱BC Centre for Disease Control says 75% of wild Pacific salmon are infected with nematodes. 🪱Alaskan researchers literally found parasites in 100% of the fresh salmon they tested. 🪱Even farm-raised isn’t safe - they just swap worms for a toxic cocktail of antibiotics, pesticides and dyes. Think you’re good because you cook it or avoid sushi? Nope. Home freezers don’t get cold enough to kill most of these parasites, a bunch of them survive cooking temps and sushi chefs can’t see (or remove) the microscopic eggs anyway. And remember... the bigger the fish, the higher the mercury load. So we’re getting parasites AND heavy metals. 😳 I’m not trying to ruin salmon for everyone (okay, maybe a little), but only because I don’t want y’all eating worms and toxins! Finally intrigued about detox? Click here to learn how to parasite cleanse the right way! Drop a 🪱 if this just ruined fish for you forever. #ParasiteCleanse #CostcoFinds #ToxinsInFood #WildCaught #FarmRaised #FoodToxins #HeavyMetalDetox #CleanseWithMe #WhatIEatInADay #YouCantUnseeThis #WouldYouStillEatIt #FoodSafetyFail #SendThisToSomeoneWhoEatsSalmon #SalmonForDinner

We do preventative dental cleanings so plaque doesn’t build up… but we rarely think about doing the same for our insides. Parasites, mold, heavy metals and environmental toxins accumulate over time, especially if you have pets, drink coffee, eat sushi, travel or grew up on near a farm or golf course. A comprehensive, structured parasite cleanse a few times a year keeps your detox pathways moving, supports digestion, energy, skin and immune health + helps prevent bigger issues down the road.

Most people start with parasites—but for lasting results, you can’t stop there. Heavy metals like mercury and aluminum act like magnets for parasites and weaken your immune system , making it easier for infections to come back. That’s why a proper detox addresses both parasites and heavy metals. So what’s the best way to clear heavy metals safely? Here are three approaches you can choose from, depending on your needs.

Let’s talk birth control and what most women are never  told. Hormonal birth control (pill, patch, IUD, shot… all of it) is actually a Class 1 carcinogen . Yep, the same category as cigarettes. And it doesn’t just prevent pregnancy - it literally rewires your brain , changing how you process emotions, stress and memories. Women on birth control often feel emotional events more intensely , have a different stress response and remember the “story” of things but not the details. It even changes how we regulate emotions and store memories. Wild, right? And it doesn’t stop there… 💥 The estrogen–candida connection no one talks about Synthetic estrogen from birth control fuels candida (yeast) overgrowth in a BIG way. Here’s how: • Estrogen + candida bind to each other • Higher estrogen = stronger candida infections • Yeast infection risk jumps 25% in the first year  of birth control • IUDs & vaginal rings increase candida levels 4x • Candida forms biofilms  on devices like IUDs, making infections harder to eliminate • It can spread beyond the reproductive system, even causing oral candida and increased plaque on teeth And candida isn’t “just yeast”…It disrupts vaginal pH, hormones and your microbiome, which can impact fertility , increase susceptibility to STDs, thin brain tissue, mess with neurotransmitters and lower serotonin (your feel-good chemical). No surprise that depression is the #1 reason women quit birth control. 💛 The good news Supporting estrogen detox + restoring natural progesterone can completely shift mood, memory, gut health, and energy. And YES, natural birth control does  exist (beyond abstinence). Fertility awareness + basal body temp tracking works incredibly well when done correctly. So many women have used the Lady-Comp fertility monitor  for years with zero pregnancy scares. Whether “baby” is  or isn’t  on your holiday wishlist, I’m linking the  Lady-Comp - it’s the simplest, no-guesswork way to track your cycle. Post–birth control and ready to detox?
