Parasites are an inevitable part of life on Earth. They’re ubiquitous, found across the globe, in both humans and animals. In fact, it’s safe to assume that if you’re living on this planet, you probably have parasites, even if you don’t feel sick. It’s easy to overlook because many parasites avoid detection and remain hidden deep within the tissues of the body. They’ve evolved over time to be stealthy and difficult to detect, which is why many people go through life unknowingly carrying them.

 

The Hidden Nature of Parasites

Parasites don’t just reside in your stool or intestines; they burrow deep into the body’s tissues to survive long-term. While an adult parasite might appear in the digestive tract or show up as pinworms in the stool, most parasites prefer to take refuge in tissues like:

  • Colon lining
  • Bladder lining
  • Ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus
  • Spleen, liver, and lungs
  • Brain

These parasites are masters of survival, living undetected in areas where they are least likely to be found by standard diagnostic tests. That’s why stool tests or other common exams may not always pick up on parasitic infections. They do not “nest” in the stool or on the skin; they nest deep inside your tissues, making detection difficult.

The Danger of Underdosing Parasite Treatment

The real danger arises when we fail to treat parasites adequately. If you treat parasites with just one medication—say, ivermectin or albendazole—you risk disturbing them without fully eradicating them. As a result, parasites may migrate to different organs and tissues. For example, they might burrow deeper into the pancreas, which could eventually lead to conditions like pancreatic cancer.

The key to successful treatment is a multi-faceted approach. A single antiparasitic drug is not enough to fully eradicate the various types of parasites. That's why it’s crucial to use a combination of medications and a comprehensive treatment regimen.

The Importance of Comprehensive Treatment

To effectively eliminate parasites, especially the deep-seated ones, a combination of the following treatments is recommended:

  1. Ivermectin – A powerful antiparasitic that works against a wide range of worms and other parasites.
  2. Praziquantel – Often used to treat parasitic infections like schistosomiasis and tapeworms.
  3. Benzimidazoles (e.g., Mebendazole, Albendazole) – These medications are effective against a broad spectrum of worms.
  4. Tinidazole or Metronidazole – These are used to target protozoan infections, including Giardia and Entamoeba histolytica (the cause of amoebic dysentery).
  5. Antifungals (e.g., Nystatin or Fluconazole) – Since fungal infections are often present alongside parasitic infections, these can help manage the fungal component of the problem.

Why Treating Parasites is Not Just About Parasites

Interestingly, treating parasites doesn’t just help with parasite elimination—it may also have a secondary benefit: it could help with cancer prevention. One of the side benefits of using antiparasitic drugs is that they can potentially turn off cancer pathways by targeting cancer stem cells. Many of us have a small number of chronically fermenting cells (potential cancer cells) in our bodies. Taking antiparasitics can interfere with these cells' ability to thrive, thus potentially preventing the development of cancer.

Understanding the Dosage and Protocol

To effectively treat parasites, you typically follow a treatment cycle:

  • Three weeks on, one week off
  • Three weeks on, one week off

This gives your body a chance to rest and recover, especially your liver, which can be affected by the treatment process. A typical regimen might involve:

  • Ivermectin (12 mg): 3 times a day
  • Praziquantel (600 mg): 3 times a day
  • Benzimidazole (e.g., Mebendazole or Albendazole): 3 times a day
  • Tinidazole (100 mg): 3 times a day
  • Antifungals (e.g., Nystatin or Fluconazole): 500,000-1,000,000 units, 3 times a day

Liver Health and Detoxification

Yes, treatment can be tough on your liver. However, your liver is remarkably resilient—it’s capable of regenerating even if a portion of it is removed. When undergoing parasite treatment, liver enzyme levels may temporarily rise, but they will typically return to normal once the treatment ends. If you have any liver conditions, however, such as hepatitis, consult your doctor before beginning treatment.

Other Factors to Consider

While parasite treatment is crucial, it’s not the only factor in overall health. Often, chronic infections in the jaw or unresolved dental issues can contribute to long-term health problems. These hidden infections may involve parasites like Entamoeba, which can colonize the mouth and jaw after dental procedures, particularly when the tooth is not properly extracted. These infections can produce biotoxins, affecting various body systems. So, alongside parasite treatment, it’s essential to also consider a thorough dental evaluation.

Conclusion: Take Action, But Do It Safely

The bottom line is that parasites are an often-undetected issue, but they can be dealt with through a comprehensive and well-coordinated treatment plan. By working with a knowledgeable doctor and using the correct medications, you can eliminate these hidden invaders and improve your health. If you are considering parasite treatment, consult with your healthcare provider and make sure to follow a protocol that includes the use of multiple antiparasitic drugs, antifungals, and detoxification. The goal is not just to kill parasites, but to restore your body’s health and prevent future complications.

Remember, you don’t have to face this challenge alone—work with a qualified medical professional who understands the intricacies of parasite treatment to ensure the best outcome for your health.

You state to consult your Dr. About parasites. I have consulted numerous Doctors over many years. They order a compression stool test, it comes back negative. Then they tell me, I don't have parasites. Then I am diagnosed as having OCD. I have been told numerous things all of which I know with my heat and soul I do not have. I can't get into a infectious Dr because they want proof that I have something. For 10 years I have been dealing with rejection. This will kill me It is in mouth, my dentist told my teeth are eating themselves. I am completely not myself and I am extremely angry. So, when you say consult your Dr. I have to laugh. My Dr. In the beginning was with me all the way. Now 5 years, I can feel it in my body, with no help of any kind from any organization or the CDC. I'm at wits end, I've exhausted every avenue that I've researched. My final diagnosis is delusional parasites. Not acceptable. Any advice. Sincerely, Sherry L. Peters
