How To Support Your Body To Get Rid of A Parasitic Infection

Many Americans believe that parasitic infections are rare in the U.S. –that they are just a Third World concern. However, the CDC reports that native, imported, and animal-transmitted parasitic infections affect millions of Americans each year.

In my nursing experience, I know this to be true, and I think this topic is one of the most overlooked in modern medicine. 

Gordon Crozier, DO, an integrative physician in Orlando explains: “Parasites are becoming an increasingly common health threat in the U.S.”

And intestinal and organ-infesting parasites in humans are far from harmless. Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., author of Guess What Came to Dinner? states that for 8 in 10 women experiencing tiredness, GI issues, brain fog, rashes, and other vague symptoms, intestinal parasites are to blame.

Functional medicine specialist Leo Galland, MD says: “Women over 50 are most at risk of harboring intestinal parasites since the production of stomach acid that helps kill the invaders drops rapidly with age. Intestinal parasites in humans mostly come from food and water, so any decrease in stomach acid increases infection risk.”(Drinking 1 TBSP of organic apple cider vinegar in 1/2 cup of warm water 2x/d on an empty stomach can help).

Dr. Galland adds, “Because symptoms are so varied, parasites are often overlooked as the cause.”

Dr. Berg lists 4 foods one can eat to make themselves more unattractive to parasites. 9 minutes.

Children of all age groups are susceptible to parasitic infections. Infants, toddlers, and children in daycare centers are at a higher risk of contracting giardiasis and pinworm infections. Contaminated water, feces from pets who then lick themselves, and other animals can also be sources of parasitic diseases in children.

Symptoms That Should Raise Concern For CHILDREN

While many symptoms overlap with other childhood illnesses, certain patterns strongly suggest parasitic infection:

• Persistent gastrointestinal distress: Diarrhea lasting more than two weeks without clear cause.

• No response to standard treatments: If typical remedies for upset stomach fail.

• Nocturnal anal itching: Especially common with pinworm infections.

• Visible worms or eggs: Occasionally seen on underwear or stool samples.

• Unexplained weight loss or poor growth: Despite adequate nutrition.

• Anemia symptoms: Fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath linked to hookworm infestation.

Other Symptoms Often Noted in ADULTS

• GI: most commonly include changes in stool, diarrhea, occasional nausea.

• Systemic: can include fatigue, fever, muscle/joint pain and teeth grinding.

• Skin: can include general itching, rectal itching, rashes or hives.

• Cleveland Clinic  also states, “depending on where you’re infected, neurological symptoms, like seizures, severe headache or disorientation.”

Common Parasitic Infections in Humans in the United States

Here are 5 of the most common parasites in the U.S. (source)

Giardia:

• Giardia, caused by the flagellated protozoan G duodenalis, is the most common intestinal parasite in the U.S.
• Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, gas, and bloating.
• Children in close contact with someone who is infected, are most likely to get sick with Giardia.
• It is more common in areas with limited access to safe drinking water and in people who swim in or drink untreated water in rivers, lakes, and springs.

Pinworms:

• Pinworm infection (Enterobiasis) is the most common worm infection in the U.S., affecting about 40 million Americans.
• They are most common in school-aged children but can affect people of any age.
• The worms live in the intestines and rectums of infected people.
• Female pinworms lay eggs around the anus, causing rectal itching, vaginal itching in females, and sleeplessness.

Toxoplasma:

• Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii. In the U.S., more than 60 million people are chronically infected with toxoplasma gondii.
• Most commonly contracted from consuming undercooked meat or from cat feces.
• The parasite can pass to a baby during pregnancy and cause birth defects or miscarriage.
• Toxoplasma is unique because most people infected with the parasite do not have symptoms.

Ascaris:

• Ascariasis is a roundworm infection, and adult worms can be > 12″ long.
• Ascaris is one of the most common worm infections worldwide. It is present in the U.S. but less common than in tropical and subtropical regions.
• Symptoms can be severe with a heavy infection.
• Once eggs have been swallowed, larvae hatch in the small intestine and migrate through the bloodstream to the lungs. This can cause signs and symptoms such as a chronic cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Hookworms:

• Hookworms get their name from the hook-like shape of their heads. They attach themselves in a person’s small intestines.
• Hookworm infection occurs when people walk barefoot on or consume eggs from stool-contaminated soil.
• Some people infected with hookworm have no symptoms, while others experience itching and a localized rash.
• People with a more severe infection may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, and anemia.

Other multicellular worms including tapeworms, roundworms, and liver flukes can live in the intestines, other organs, or the bloodstream. (source)

So What Is the Best Way to Clean Out From Parasites?

While I recommend Advanced TRS often for many other health concerns, I cannot claim that the clinoptilolite zeolite product directly kills parasites.

YET… Anecdotal TRS Stories About Dumping Parasitic Infections Abound:

Many of these stories are really rather amazing, though most people don’t see whole parasites because they get broken up…

Below these testimonials, I will briefly share the science that explains why these great outcomes occur for many with parasitic infections.

There is some serious layered detoxing happening here:

A number of studies explore clinoptilolite zeolite’s indirect supportive role and impact on parasites. The document ‘Zeolite Vs Parasites‘ lists them here, here, here, here, here, and here. This is a short summary:

• Toxin Binding: Parasite infestations often result in the release of endotoxins and ammonia from the dying organisms. As a clinoptilolite zeolite, Advanced TRS can firmly bind these toxins within the gut and bloodstream, easing symptoms like nausea or fatigue. (See #12a here for more insight into the science.)

• Heavy Metal Removal: Researchers agree that parasites accumulate heavy metals in their environment or host. Advanced TRS‘s acts as a purifying agent due to its ability to bind heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium and reduce overall toxicity. (See #2, 4, 9, 13 and 25 for the science.)

• Gut Environment Modulation: Clinoptilolite zeolite helps to restore and strengthen the intestinal barrier, maintains a balanced intestinal pH and flora to prevent re-entry and proliferation of new parasites, helping the body in being an inhospitable host for parasites. (See #12b, 12c for the science).

• Strengthens Body’s Defenses: improves the overall fight against invaders. In the studies above, in rats and in lambs, the clinoptilolite zeolite also markedly reduced GI parasitic infestation. (See #6, 8, 10, 14 for the science.)

[Many OTC parasite cleanses containing garlic, black walnut, oregano, wormwood, or grapefruit seed simply don’t deliver clear results – and many others are too harsh, disrupting normal healthy microbiome flora. Some should really be used with a binder like TRS to prevent massive die off symptoms.]

What Is Advanced TRS?

Advanced TRS is comprised of only 2 ingredients: zeolite clinoptilolite and purified water, so all research papers above on clinoptilolite zeolite apply. 

Negatively-charged TRS has the ability to bind and remove ~80,000 known positively-charged environmental toxins.

Our family has had first-hand success with TRS to clear out advanced chronic Lyme, prions and more, and now I’m coaching hundreds and hundreds of families to greater health. I invite you to be one of them.

• TRS is tasteless and is sprayed directly into the mouth (or topically, if applicable). Each bottle contains 150 sprays. Do this at home at your own speed, but the I suggest you start slowly and build up per this schedule:

• Some families start seeing results very quickly in weeks. Many more report that the biggest gains show up after the 6-9-12 months mark as they need prolonged, DEEP detox.

• Purchase TRS as a ‘preferred customer’ at the lowest prices which is ‘autoship pricing’. You can cancel or alter autoship dates at any time. 

Dr. Jana Grimm, whose practice I’ve recommended here on DRAH, and who uses TRS in her practice as well, has several hundred anecdotal TRS testimonials for more insight on her website.

My Anti-parasitic Dream Team

For parasitic infestations, I often additionally recommend homeopathic medicine ‘worms’ 30c with TRS as the binder. Take 2 pillules 3x/day for 1 month, take 2 weeks off, then repeat 1 month only. Follow homeopathy rules of not touching the pellets. Pop them from the bottle to the cap and into your mouth. Chew or suck on them. Don’t swallow them. Take them 10-15 minutes before a meal away from food and drink. Take TRS as usual to mop up released endotoxins and ammonia.
