  • GABA & parasites

    GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is our calming neurotransmitter.  It relaxes the mind and reduces anxiety while promoting good digestion, gut motility and reduces brain inflammation. While GABA is calming to us, if it attaches to a parasite's GABA receptor, it can paralyze them... so parasites release chemicals to prevent it from attaching. Parasites can also use GABA as a food source.  The parasite toxoplasma gondii uses GABA to increase their metabolism so that it can them damage certain receptors in the host's brain which could lead to seizures. A reduction in GABA will lead to a reduction in your gut motility, which means parasites are minimizing their chances of getting excreted via stool.  If you parasite cleanse, parasites can attack your GABA receptors. Symptoms of low GABA include anxiety, depression, anger, addictive behaviors, ADD, ADHD, headaches, insomnia, inflammation, chronic pain, lack of empathy, panic attacks and low stomach acid. If any of these sound like you, let's chat to see if parasite cleansing makes sense.

  • Acetylcholine & Parasites

    Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system.  It increases gut motility, slows the heart rate, relaxes blood vessels, and aids in many brain functions like memory and learning. Parasites have the ability to break down acetylcholine and use it as food because they are dependent on this neurotransmitter for nourishment. This prevents stimulation of the immune system to get rid of them.  It also slows down the bowels so parasites are less likely to get pushed out.  It makes it easier for parasites to build up biofilms.When acetylcholine is inhibited, blood becomes thinner which makes it easier for blood-feeding parasites to sustain themselves. Symptoms of low acetylcholine include brain fog, increased inflammation especially in the gut, less REM sleep, muscle weakness, feeling drained or moody, learning and memory issues.

  • Insomnia can stem from EMF's

    Insomnia sucks, and those who have been there are usually desperate for relief. The instinct for most is to hop on board with the latest supplement or even medication that promotes sleep... some work, some don't. But a sleep hack most don't often consider that's completely free without side effects is addressing EMF's. I've had so many clients resolve their insomnia by unplugging their WIFI at night, putting their phone on airplane mode and sleeping with it several feet away. If you struggle with insomnia, you've gotta give it a try.

  • Parasite Diagnosis and Testing

    BY: DR. TODD WATTS — 04/04/2021 The average person doesn’t know a whole lot about parasites, nor can they identify the different symptoms or types of parasitic infections. But if you have complex chronic illnesses, you will want to learn about these pathogens and how to treat the different infections. Most U.S. physicians are unaware how widespread parasitic infections are. They might even tell patients that their idea of being infected with parasites is “all in their head.” (1, 2) In actuality, patients aren’t suffering from a “parasitic delusion disorder.” Quite possibly, parasites are contributing to their health problems. Parasites are much more common in developed countries than most people realize. For example, it’s estimated that more than 12% of Americans carry Toxoplasma gondii, a microscopic parasite people might get from their cat. (2) The increasingly toxic environment — including from pollution — could worsen the parasite problem. Toxins can weaken the body’s defenses and alter parasite activity. (3) Parasites can trigger a wide range of health issues. In some cases, they may be the actual cause behind chronic issues like irritable bowel syndrome and some autoimmune diseases. (4, 5) It might be easy for parasites to latch on to hosts, but they do their best to avoid detection. There are a few different tests that may help check whether you have parasites. But they are far from 100% accurate. That includes standard blood and stool tests, as well as looking inside the gut with special equipment. (60) Blood and stool tests You can submit stool samples to a lab to check if you have intestinal parasites or their eggs (ova). These are called ova and parasite (O&P) tests. A lab technician can use special stains to help detect parasites when viewing samples under a microscope. (61) It’s best to provide at least three different stool samples from separate days to reduce the risk of missing parasites. Still, it’s easy for labs to overlook parasites. And the parasites simply may not be in the tiny bits of stool that the lab analyzes from the larger samples submitted. (62) Another way to check for parasites is blood tests. But there isn’t such a thing as a blood test that checks for every type of parasite. Instead, the tests are used to check for a few specific types of parasites that the healthcare professional suspects a patient might have. (62) The blood tests are designed to identify parasites by checking for: Antibodies: When someone is infected with a parasite, their immune system makes specific antibodies to fight them. Blood tests can be used to check for antibodies to a small number of parasites. There aren’t tests for every kind though. (62) Visible parasites: Lab staff may look directly at a specially stained blood smear under a microscope. They’re looking for parasites that reside in the blood. For example, plasmodium (the malaria parasite) and babesia may be found in a blood smear test. (63, 64) Imaging and other tests Imaging tests such as CAT scans, MRI scans, and x-rays may pick up signs of parasites in body tissues. The healthcare professional may be looking for something else but could notice parasites in the process. For example, a swollen liver and spleen could suggest a patient is infected with plasmodium. And these scans could show large ascaris worms in their gut. (62, 65) Another type of test that may reveal parasites is an endoscopy. It may be used to look for parasites, though it would be an invasive and expensive way to do so. (66) A newer form of testing can look for parasite’s DNA, such as in the blood or stool. This can be compared with databases of known parasites. Not all parasites can be tested in this way, as the DNA of some parasites hasn’t been analyzed. (67) How accurate is parasite testing? Typical parasite testing can be inadequate. Several factors contribute to the likelihood of parasite tests being inaccurate. Some reasons why parasite tests might turn up empty despite having an infection are: Improper storage: If your specimen isn’t handled correctly, you're unlikely to get an accurate result. To detect certain parasites in their active stage, the stool sample must be examined within 30–60 minutes after passing it or be put into a preservative. Otherwise, the parasite will disintegrate before it’s found. (61) Insufficient availability: The right tests or equipment may not be available to you. And due to inadequate parasite training for doctors, they may not even know the best tests for them. On top of that, insurance may not cover the tests. (61) Insufficient training: Is the technician who’s looking at your stool or blood sample highly trained and experienced? The number of truly qualified people to perform these tests is dwindling while the need is going up. (68) Parasites aren’t being expelled: Stool samples don’t necessarily reflect what’s inside you. Some parasites simply may not be making an exit when they test. For example, they could be hiding in your gut or tissues. (69) Rapid DNA destruction: Though genetic tests are available to detect parasites in your samples, parasites can destroy their DNA when they die. For example, leishmania rapidly degrades its DNA in almost any death situation. If a sample isn’t appropriately preserved and transported in a timely fashion, the test results could be invalid. (70, 71) Shortage of time: Medical labs are often very busy with many tests to complete. If a technician is underqualified and rushed, the risk for errors increases.

  • Low energy? Read this.

    We are conditioned to believe that it's normal to feel tired as we age.... but that doesn't have to be the case. Most of the time our mitochondria are overburdened from toxins in our food, air, water, cosmetics, clothing, EMF's and homes. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of our cells, and when they take a beating from these toxins, we get tired. This client is young, child bearing age looking to conceive and is chronically exhausted despite lots of sleep. I recommended CellCore's BC-ATP to help repair mitochondrial function and aid in improved cognitive function, mental clarity/focus, and sustained physical energy. These are her results after just four days! I personally take it daily for a stimulant-free energy boost. To try it, visit https://cellcore.com/products/bc-atp (register with practitioner code 1WB98bYU). Top tips to reduce your toxin exposure: 💥 Eat organic. Pesticides are so damaging to mitochondrial function. 💥 Eat lots of fruit & veggies. 💥 Avoid seed oils/sugar. 💥 Try intermittent (time restricted) fasting where you give your body a break from digestion for at least 12 hours a day (ideally 16). I try to eat from 11AM - 7PM. Since most of our immunity is in our gut, this allows your body to focus more time on healing instead of digestion. 💥 Use clean products for toiletries/cosmetics, cleaning & around the house. Check out my Amazon Storefront for inspiration. 💥 Use the Yuka App to scan food/toiletries/cleaning supplies to ensure they are clean and non-toxic. 💥 Stay hydrated - drink 2/3 your body weight in ounces of water per day. Be sure that your water filter removes heavy metals, pathogens, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals! 💥 Minimize EMF radiation. 💥 Avoid plastics. 💥 Avoid major sources of aluminum toxicity. 💥 Avoid microwaves. 💥 Use infrared saunas. 💥 Wear organic clothing.

  • Antiparasitic herbals that are similar to prescriptions

    There's a lot of hype about getting antiparasitic prescriptions, but you don't necessarily have to get a prescription to get your hands on great antiparasitics. Did you know that most prescription antiparasitics have a similar structure or antiparasitic mechanism of action as natural herbals? For instance, Ivermectin has a similar mechanism of action as wormwood or artemisinin (concentrated wormwood extract that is more potent). Hydroxychloroquine has a similar structure to quercetin. Other amazing antiparasitic herbs include mimosa pudica seed, clove, neem, vidanga, black walnut hull, oregano oil and holy basil. I usually keep a variety of these on hand in case anyone gets sick, and we parasite cleanse every 3-4 months to make sure anything new is kept at bay.

  • Don't buy produce from stores using Apeel preservative

    If you're out doing some last minute grocery shopping today, here's a little inspiration on where to get your produce if you want to avoid the garbage Apeel preservative that's on organic as well. Apeel contains trans fats, heavy metals and microplastics among other frankeningredients. Tell your legislatures to keep Apeel off organic foods, but in the meantime boycott stores that stock Apeel-laden produce. Great post from @organicmindedmom.

  • Toxins in fast fashion

    This is a hard one for me because I get lured in by a cute, cheap top. But fast fashion and even more affluent brands (ahem @lululemon among others) are loaded with forever chemicals and other toxins that don't just affect you, but get carried out into our oceans and affect sea life as well. I just ordered $18 organic yoga pants from Pact. Their black Friday deals are killer, and their clothes are actually cute. Check them out. Reducing your toxic burden reduces your propensity for chronic disease. This is another way you can ease that burden on your body. Great vid from Warren Phillips and Dr Marisol ND - Queen of the Thrones. #wearorganic #buyorganic #organicclothing #organicclothes #fastfashionsucks #fastfashiondetox #fastfashion #fastfashionawareness #toxicclothing #toxicburden #shein #foreverchemicals #sheinistoxic
