Everyone has parasites! Even if you’ve been eating a very clean, organic plantbased and mostly raw diet. Everyone still needs to do a parasite cleanse at least once a year (I recommend twice a year or with the changing of the seasons) to maintain your health.
If you ever ate meat, fish, or dairy - you definitely have parasites.
Why? Because all these products are feeding grounds for parasites. If you think about what happens to rotten dead flesh... all the worms go there to break that material down. The more meat you have eaten, especially raw meat or undercooked pork, beef or sushi, your stomach has become very acidic and the perfect environment for parasites!
Although food can be a major source of parasites, you still can get infected through other means.
These can be other sources of parasites:
Tap water, pets, public restrooms, soil, rivers, contaminated air, added sugar in beverages and processed foods, toxic home cleaning products, mold exposure, unprotected sex, etc.
Why do parasites need to be eliminated/kept in check?
-Parasites steal your vitamins and minerals
- Parasites destroy all the good cells faster than they are able to be regenerated
- Parasites put lots of pressure on your organs and tissues
- Parasites wreck havoc on your immune system
-Parasites can affect your brain and decision-making processes leading to poor choices
Some symptoms you have parasites:
- constipation

If you are eating healthy, but have not done a parasite cleanse, parasites will be taking all of your nutrients. If you are taking supplements and vitamins and wondering why they aren't working, it's time to do a parasite cleanse!
