  • The Benefits of a Parasite Cleanse

    Parasite cleanses could become a significant aspect of proactive health and wellness in future. These cleanses, often involving specific herbs, dietary changes, or supplements, are suggested by their advocates to offer a range of benefits by eradicating or reducing the burden of unwanted parasites within the human body.

    Improvement in Digestive Health

    Proponents suggest that parasites can disrupt the delicate balance of the gut microbiome, leading to various digestive issues. If future studies were to confirm this and demonstrate the efficacy of cleanses, we might see parasite cleanses being used to alleviate symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and constipation. By removing these parasitic interlopers, the gut environment can return to a more harmonious state, improving nutrient absorption and overall digestive function.

    Enhancement of Nutrient Absorption

    Some theories suggest that parasites can compete with the host for essential nutrients, potentially leading to deficiencies even in individuals with seemingly healthy diets. Parasite cleanses can be used as a way to optimise nutrient uptake by eliminating these nutrient-leaching organisms – then the body might be able to absorb vitamins, minerals, and other vital compounds more effectively, potentially leading to increased energy levels and improved overall health.

    Boost in Energy Levels

    Chronic fatigue and low energy are often cited by proponents as potential signs of parasitic infection. They suggest that the metabolic waste products of parasites, or the body’s constant immune response to their presence, can contribute to feelings of tiredness. If future studies were to validate this link and the effectiveness of cleanses in removing these parasites, such cleanses might be considered as a way to naturally boost energy levels and reduce feelings of lethargy.

    Improvement in Skin Health

    Some advocates believe that parasites can manifest their presence through various skin issues, such as rashes, eczema, acne, and unexplained itching. They propose that the toxins released by parasites can irritate the skin or trigger inflammatory responses. If future research were to confirm this connection and the benefit of parasite cleanses in addressing it, these cleanses might become a complementary approach to managing certain skin conditions.  

    Enhancement of Immune Function

    The constant presence of parasites is theorised by some to place a burden on the immune system, potentially diverting resources away from other threats. If future studies were to demonstrate that parasite cleanses can reduce this burden, it might be suggested that they could indirectly support and enhance overall immune function, potentially making the body more resilient to other infections.

    Reduction in Allergic Reactions

    Certain theories suggest a link between parasitic infections and an increased susceptibility to allergies. It’s proposed that the presence of parasites can modulate the immune system in ways that promote allergic responses. If future research were to validate this and show that parasite cleanses can help restore a more balanced immune response, they might be explored as a potential way to alleviate or reduce the severity of allergic reactions in some individuals.  

    Improvement in Mental Clarity

    In less mainstream theories, some proponents suggest a link between parasitic infections and cognitive issues such as brain fog, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. They propose that toxins released by parasites could potentially affect neurological function. If future studies were to establish this connection and demonstrate the benefit of parasite cleanses in improving mental clarity, such cleanses might be considered in addressing certain cognitive complaints.

    Important Note: It is crucial to reiterate that the benefits outlined above are hypothetical and based on claims made by proponents of parasite cleanses. Currently, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence to support these claims for the general population in developed countries. If, in the future, rigorous scientific studies were to validate these purported benefits, the understanding and application of parasite cleanses in human health could potentially evolve significantly. However, until such evidence emerges, these remain speculative possibilities. Any health concerns should always be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional who can provide evidence-based advice.

  • The 1 deadly Talc ingredient they didnt tell you about

    The 1 deadly Talc ingredient they didnt tell you about

    I was alarmed when I heard Johnson and Johnson were under fire for selling Talcum Powder for decades, even though they knew there was a chance it could also contain asbestos!

    What the hell!

    I used it when changing my children’s nappies, I use it at the gym after i’ve showered – and this whole time, I could (or my kids could) have been breathing in harmful Asbestos particles?!

    How can this have happened?

    Well, I was today-years-old when I learned that Talcum Powder is actually mined! I had never really given any thought to how we ended up with Talc, but I certainly didn’t think that it was something that humans obtained by digging big holes and extracting minerals from the earth!

    Talc mining involves two primary methods: open-pit mining and underground mining. The choice of technique depends on factors such as deposit depth, size, and quality. Open-pit mining: This method is commonly employed when talc deposits are located near the surface.

    And it turns out that Talc and Asbestos are mined side by side, and based on reports and articles I have read, it appears they cant really rule out cross-contamination when they are harvesting it from the mines, so chances are that every bottle of baby powder you have ever bought contained dangerous asbestos particles that could have caused serious health conditions for you and/or your family.

    Scary, huh!

    What can you/should you do?

    Well firstly, its probably not sensible to buy or continue to use OG Talc, so if you do like to use products like this then go for a brand that uses Corn-starch, not Talc in their products.

    Bottle of Talc

    You definitely dont need to enlist the services of an asbestos removal company if you have old tubs of Talc lying around – just throw them in the bin.

    And perhaps an overarching lesson here for us all, is to ensure we are always aware of what we are putting in and on our bodies. From the food we eat, to the skincare products we use on a daily basis. You never know what hidden nasties lurk on those ingredients lists, so give them a scan and ensure you are are not at risk.
