Top 10 parasite purge foods
By Mercedes Kay Gold, CNP, CPT
Last month we discussed reams of risk factors for becoming a human host. Do you think there’s a possibility you have been harboring piles of pesky parasites?
Simply starve parasites to death for a final farewell. Parasites need energy to grow and reproduce, and they thrive in a high sugar environment. The Standard American Diet is a dream come true for them. If you love processed foods, it’s time to switch your diet and choose from tons of top-notch nutrient-dense foods found in nature. Getting rid of parasites puts you on the fast track to better health overall. Feed your body, not the enemy!
As a certified holistic nutritionist, I have helped slews of clients with parasites and once the body is free, health is quickly restored. Brain fog is gone. There are so many unexplained effects in the body and parasites are an often-overlooked culprit. From teeth clenching, skin issues and anemia to diarrhea and joint pain, plus constant hunger, itchiness, and even vitamin deficiencies.
Top 10 foods that starve parasites
GARLIC kills parasites naturally. Grate raw garlic into sauces and salad dressings. Roast in the oven as a sensational side. Garlic is stinky, pills are an option to maintain fresh breath.
PUMPKIN SEEDS destroy parasite eggs. Raw unsalted pumpkin seeds are perfect on-the-go. They also support immunity, prostate health, and the thyroid thanks to selenium and zinc. Add ¼ cup of raw seeds to salads and smoothies for an extra boost of daily protein.
PAPAYA SEEDS disrupt parasite growth. Enjoy the awesome vitamin A overload in this exotic super fruit for skin and eyesight support but save seeds to eat.
WORMWOOD is a heavenly herb with an outstanding anti-parasitic effect. Hit the supplement aisle and try out a tincture for 30 days alongside the foods listed here.
CAYENNE PEPPER speeds up your metabolism while addressing the nasty critters.
GINGER improves digestion for starters. Diarrhea, constipation and bloating are unwanted side effects of parasites. Fresh ginger is a great go-to to offset belly drama while also fighting worrisome worms.
CLOVES have been used forever for dental drama but also a delight destroying parasite larva. Cloves are most potent in tincture form, especially when combined with wormwood for 30 days.
BLACK WALNUT is wonderous. Tincture time once again!
RAW HONEY is microbial and FRESH LEMON detoxifies. I love combining these two superfoods with the superstar trio of tincture drops on my list. Follow the bottles, dropping the right number in hot water for a homemade tonic.
OIL OF OREGANO is out of this world for combatting a cold and yes, parasite power, too. Add a few drops of this intense oil to water or disguise the strong taste in a fresh olive oil and lemon salad dressing.
Once parasites are starved and start dying off, all seven pathways of elimation must be working. The pathways help rid the body of the dead cast offs. Dandelion tea is a great diuretic, ground flax speeds up transit time and bitter foods such as arugula help increase bile. Skin Brushing and jumping whether skipping on rebounding supports the lymphatic system. Saunas, steam rooms and infrared are astounding supports for ridding the body of toxins. Drink lots of water and add a teaspoon of aloe vera gel for intestinal love.
Peace love and parasite free!
