Parasite Cleansing

Order ParaCleanse here. It is a 10 day program, and the 10 days is for a reason (see below). You will need 2 boxes for a full cycle of treatment, which is 25 days. You will also see that I recommend adding in some extra garlic and a high-potency probiotic. Those are optional, but they do assist the cleanse, while also supporting your immune system.

Start 4 days before the next full moon. Err on the side of 3 days if necessary. So if the moon reaches fullness at 5am on May 5th, then start on May 2nd.

Take ParaCleanse for 10 days according to the instructions on the box. I prefer to take each packet 30 minutes before eating. Stop for 5 days. Then start your second box, and take for another 10 days.
Some people choose to do this up to 4 months, depending on how they feel.

The last time I was in Mexico, I came home sick with an obvious parasite problem. It was probably blastocystis hominis, very common in Mexico, and I had textbook symptoms. I did this cleanse for one month and felt so much better, but I was still not regular. So I did another month and was back to 100%. Trust your intuition.

I do a full month (2 boxes) of ParaCleanse twice a year, March and late October.

How to Determine Children’s Dosages

Fried’s Rule: for children less than 2 years old. The dose of an herb is obtained by multiplying the child’s age in months by the adult dose and then dividing the result by 150. An example would be if an adult tincture dosage is 20 drops. For an 8 month old child you would take 20 x 8 to get 160. Then divide: 160/150 = which would be approximately 1 drop of tincture.

Clark’s Rule: for children aged 2-17. Take the child’s weight in pounds and divide by 150 pounds. Multiply the fractional result by the adult dose to find the equivalent child dosage. For example, if an adult dose of tincture calls for 30 drops and the child weighs 30 pounds, divide the child’s weight by 150 (30/150) to get 1/5. Multiply 1/5 times 30 drops to get 6 drops. This method can also be used for elders and cats.

Have a Question?

Do you have a question that you would like me to help you with? I am here to help you. I take that sentiment seriously. When someone asks me a question – no matter how small – I set aside quiet time, without distractions. I grab my reading glasses, and sit in my library next to my books (filled with my notes!). I think about your question, and I write down the first few thoughts that come to mind. And then I dig into my research, compile information and resources for you, and write you back.

This is a gift to me, to learn from you. It’s a blessing to lean on my 10+ years experience and my education. To help you the best that I can, I ask that you please schedule that time with me. Click here for my availability.
