Parasites are organisms that utilize their host for nutrition and survival. Nutrient deficiencies and gut issues are common in people with parasites. As you know our body’s circadian rhythm responds to the moon’s cycles. Did you know that parasites are more active and reproductive during a full moon period coinciding with your circadian rhythm? Around a full moon, our body produces less melatonin, which is an antioxidant and hormone that helps with sleep and immune function. With lower levels of melatonin, your immune system is weak and parasites and pathogens can take advantage of it and cause issues. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, sugar cravings, insomnia, mood swings, fatigue, weak immune system, and weak digestive system during this period, you may experience increased parasite activities in your body. Serotonin is the precursor of melatonin. The combination of less melatonin and more serotonin in your body during this time can increase parasite activities and make you sick. With four super moons in a row coming starting in May this year, parasitic activities will likely increase during the super moon period. A supermoon means a full moon occurs near or at the time when the moon is at the closest point in its orbit around Earth. Encysted and cystic parasites will likely emerge specifically, and parasites that are hibernating will likely be active as well. You can see how the moon cycles impact your health and why it’s the perfect time to eliminate these troublemakers from your body. Encysted parasites affect humans through raw or inadequately cooked crabs, crawfish, or prawns that are eaten by humans and other mammals, they can travel through the small intestine, penetrate the gut wall, and reach the lung through the peritoneal cavity, diaphragm, and pleural space. In the lungs, the larvae mature into adult flukes and start the lifecycle over again. Cysticercosis is a parasitic tissue infection caused by larval cysts of parasites. These larval cysts infect the brain, muscles, other tissues, and organs, and they are a major cause of adult-onset seizures. These cysts have a thick-walled protective membrane enclosing a cell, larva, or organism. They form an abnormal membranous sac or blister-like pouch containing fluid or semisolid material. Our ancestors possessed ancient wisdom over centuries to perform parasite cleansing as a necessary procedure for maintaining optimal health. Today, it is common to deworm pets, cattle, and horses regularly, but as humans, we think we are more civilized than animals. The fact is that many pets eat cleaner than humans and they don’t touch junk food guided by their intuitions. Parasites are the root causes of many health challenges these days. Some feed off toxins and waste in our bodies and infect the host. Believe it or not, a very high percentage of people are carrying parasites these days because of the polluted air we breathe, contaminated food we eat, and toxic water we drink, our immune system is constantly attacked and overworked. The full moon period is the best time to act upon parasites before they take over your immune system. How to remove parasites in your body? Let’s dive into it. Parasite Cleanse DietMany animals pass down their parasites to us through our food chains, such as pork and seafood. A plant-based diet will serve your health in a long run to help eliminate parasites to enter your body. It is also a good idea to limit gluten, dairy products, and refined sugar as they feed off a variety of pathogens in your body. Another source is contaminated water. Our body is made of about 70 percent of water. The water we drink is crucial to sustaining our health. As we know that our tap water is loaded with toxic chemicals and heavy metals, also drugs including birth control pills. Water has consciousness just like humans. The molecular structure of water can influence our DNA strands. A water filter is the simplest and most practical way to purify your drinking water, having a few charcoal sticks in hand to purify your drinking water when you travel can also help.From energy medicine, parasites have a lower vibration, and food with higher vibrations can help eliminate them in the body. Green juices have higher frequencies than other foods because they contain light photons that help raise our vibrations and boost our immunity. Chlorophyll in leafy greens has a similar structure to human blood, it is known as the blood of plants. Fresh green juices should not only be viewed as sources of antioxidants, vitamins, nutrients, minerals, etc., but they are also carriers of essential mitochondrial cofactors to absorb sunlight and efficiently produce ATP. According to researchers, in the presence of chlorophyll, there is an increased production of ATP in our mitochondria upon exposure to sunlight, which demonstrates the increase in our lifespan. Chlorophyll is also a potent antioxidant and detoxifier, it purifies the blood and helps the body break down and remove toxins more efficiently. Leafy greens help create a more alkaline environment in our body that enhances our immune system and fights against parasites and diseases, especially the alkalinity in the lymphatic system that helps remove waste matters and toxins more efficiently. Leafy greens are also antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-mold. They have the most bio-available and assimilable proteins your body needs, they are also loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. For example, celery juice contains complete electrolytes that rejuvenate the neurotransmitters in the brain and repair the damage to brain cells, it also strengthens hydrochloric acids in the stomach to enhance your digestion.

Terpenes are largely found in the essential oils of many types of medicinal plants and flowers.

If you are highly sensitive, you may start with a 3-day protocol and see how your body responds to it.If you are doing the 3-day protocol, start one day before the full moon and end one day after. If you are doing the 5-day protocol, start 2 days before the full moon and end 2 days after. If you are doing the 7-day protocol, start 3 days before the full moon and end 3 days after.Daily bowel movements are also important during a parasite cleanse.
