I am going to write a few more essays on parasites and then hush up
for a while.
Basically, there are two types of parasites to discuss: the ones that
are visible — which includes most of the intestinal parasites like
hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms — and the ones that are
microscopic. Calling them intestinal parasites and blood parasites is
actually limiting to our understanding because they move around. They
are foraging and they go where the food is . . . which is one reason
people have strange creepy sensations as well as inconsistent
complaints about where the problem is.
I have been studying this problem for 47 years so really it's not
necessary to send me any more material on Hulda Clark, did I say,
"Please don't send me more references to her."
The parasites have behaviors like any other creature so just as
snakes have different hunting methods, there is immense variation
among parasites. This is really easy to understand if you think of
miniature boa constrictors, pythons, and cobras. They are fashioned
to use completely different methods to get what they need for their
survival.
In the case of parasites, because they are cohabiting with the host,
they also take over your endocrine system to make it work the way
that suits them and this can lead to some rather strange and even
compelling instincts, not just food cravings but many other odd
obsessions that are decidedly not human.
For the moment, I don't want to dwell on this. I want to get your
attention for one very simple fact. According to a health documentary
I saw on cable years ago, attributed I believe to the London School of
Tropical Medicine, two-thirds of all people who ever lived on this
Planet died of malaria. In Germany, I remarked to the doctor with
whom I was working that many patients seemed to have malaria. He
said, "In Germany, ach never!" However, I showed him what I was
seeing and this made both of us much more interested. Obviously,
between travel, redistribution of population, and incredible changes
in weather, it is very easy for someone who has lived his entire life
in a temperate climate to be infected by a bite from a mosquito that
has feasted on someone else first. This mosquito is called a vector
and there are other vectors besides mosquitoes. There are also
countless other parasitic diseases besides malaria. So, we are
talking about a big problem, not a little one.
Today, I want to begin to help your minds understand what it means
for a food or herb to be antiparasitic because the language is
terribly complex and misleading. I am going to keep this really
simple and hope that you form some visuals in your right brain that
are not too disturbing but nevertheless helpful.
If someone tells you to eat celery if you have parasites, what should
you make of this advice? Celery, as we know, is stringy. If you gnaw
on raw celery sticks and swallow all the fiber, some parasites might
become tangled up enough to be carried away with your waste products.
The truth is, this particular hunting method is a bit like using a
fish net to catch some prey. If you wanted to reduce the amount of
struggle, you could drug the wigglers a bit with some black walnut so
they are too doped up to resist. Now, you are using two hunting
methods instead of one. It goes without saying that celery that is
chopped up fine, pureed, or stripped of its strings is not
"antiparasitic" so try to use logic here.
Analogously, many texts suggest eating pumpkin seeds but the theory
is that the sharp edges of the seeds cut the skin of the parasites
and they die from injuries. There are, however, parasites that are so
toxic that the tiniest scratch on the skin could be fatal so I am not
really keen about this strategy. In any case, it must be obvious that
these two methods only work on intestinal parasites that are actually
in the gastrointestinal tract. They would not be effective in
treating blood parasites or those parasites that eavesdropped on your
psyche and scurried off when realizing you made a decision to evict
them.
After my post a couple of days ago, I went to parasiteherbs.com and was shocked at how cluttered and disorganized the site had become so
I spent a lot of time fixing it up and am on the home stretch now.
Thanks to the prodding of a colleague, I am trying to "put everything
in one place" so there is an index to my articles and scribbles as well as a formal reference page that includes galleries of parasites on the CDC web site. In short,
I don't make up this "stuff" — it is real and rather uncomfortable
so do have a stiff drink now, preferably Absinthe!
Toxic Metals
Seriously — and for those who don't know how to laugh yet over
parasites, I was kidding — I want to explain a few more really basic
principles. Toxic metals act as inhibitors of parasites. They are also
used in most pharmaceutical parasiticides which is why the treatment
is dangerous. You get rid of one problem and end up with a
potentially worse one. The only people I saw in Germany who did not
have blood parasites were those with severe neurological problems. In
one case, the man had been hit by bullets that could not be removed
and in the other, he had a mouth full of amalgams. Germany, as some
recall, realized the danger of mercury and paid for the amalgam
removal. Consequently, most people we were seeing had very little
metal toxicity and lots of parasites. In the idiotic world in which
we live, I am sure there are people writing papers about how to
destroy parasites with arsenic, mercury, and aluminum, and this
obviously works if you don't mind the risk of ending up paralyzed and
disoriented in a wheelchair.
Okay, so you have parasites and one of the questions people have been
asking all week is whether to address the metal toxicity or the
parasites first. In most cases, the metals pose a more dangerous
long-term risk but if they are removed, the parasite population will
probably explode. So, in general, it makes more sense to deal with
the parasites first, but here's the rub.
If the burden of toxic metals is extreme, the immune system is
compromised. The metals destroy friendly bacteria, parasites, and
white blood cells, not to mention brain tissue. I want you to
understand what the ramifications are. When a parasite dies, it is a
carcass and depending on where it dies, the disposal system varies.
In most cases, the dead parasite will be eaten by bacteria, but if
someone has a load of toxic metals, there will not be bacteria
present to eat the fleshy part of the dead creature so it decomposes
through fermentation which is one reason why many people have yeast
infections as well as all the other problems. You might call this the
"toxic metal syndrome." It's a syndrome because a slew of problems
occur together and if you try to tackle one without dealing with the
others, you really do risk going berserk. So, actually, it makes
sense to deal with the metals even if this means a surge of parasites
will follow.
I have watched the fermentation for hours on end in the microscope
and know it happens but it makes little or no sense to me to deny
yourself the relaxation of a good bitter beer because you are worried
about candida when really the problem is not the beer but the dead
animals. I am not saying one ought to drink beer, just that the
rigorous diets don't work unless one tackles the whole problem, not
pieces of it.
I'm going to spend the weekend fixing up the rest of the web site and
writing on some more philosophical topics, but I will try to write 2-3
more emails on parasites because I think many people have not
understood the problem and others have exaggerated the importance of
what they do know. The parasites are not nice guests, but they are
rarely immediately life-threatening. Of course, they can be dangerous
which is why you want to address them, but most people are not
suffering at the level of some people with Lyme Disease or
Morgellons. The majority have symptoms that are more subtle, but if I said "everyone"
needs to be aware of the risk of parasites, I would not be
exaggerating just making a bit too much noise. A little noise is
enough?
Meanwhile, I would like to explain how the shopping cart works. If
you jump from one site to another, like eodiffuser.com to parasiteherbs.com to immuneformulas.com, the same shopping cart works
on all sites, but it self destructs after 20-30 minutes of inactivity
so you have to complete your mission before this happens. To be on
the safe side, it makes sense to keep the cart busy, even if you have
to fuss with quantities later, or make notes of what you want and go
for it when your list is complete. Many thanks for your support and
interest.
