Re: Parasite cleanse - is it nessesary

I did many succesful Liver Flushes without problems and had wonderful results, fewer migraines, less problems with allergies and clearer skin. On my 17th flush I found parasite pieces in a large stone. A few days later I passed a Tapeworm after an enema. I never had a clue a had that kind of parasite infestation. After that flush I have had a lot of health problems, liver pain, joint pain and headaches. I have done a parasite cleanse using herbs, homeopathic remedies and enzymes as directed by my Naturopath. I am very slowly regaining my health.
I have been doing cleansing since August including Master Cleanse, Liver Cleanses (which I started in earnest in April 2003) and bowel cleansing. I believe that all this cleansing has uncovered a long standing and deeply embedded parasite problem that had been masked or covered up by health problems largely caused by a toxic diet and stressful life style. Cleansing has uncovered and perhaps even reactivated the parasites.
I guess what I am saying is that many of us are in a Catch-22 situation. We can't sucessfully cleanse unless we get rid of the parasites, but we can't deal with the parasites because we are so full of mucus, plaque, and toxins that feed and harbor the parasites.
My advice would be to take a good look at your health issues and set your own priorities. Do the things first that address your own health issues. Add other cleanses as you feel the need. Here is the way I scheduled my early cleansing protocols:
1. Liver Cleanse
2. 10 Day Master Cleanse lemonade fast followed by 3 day apple juice fast.
3. Liver Flush on third day of apple juice fast.
4. Two week Bowel Cleanse using Psyllium drinks and one drink containing bentonite. Also did occasional enemas. I did this while eating a normal, but healthy diet.
5. Continue Liver Cleanses every two weeks until no more stones.
I had to ammend this list to include the parasite cleanse and also did more Master Cleanses and bowel cleanses. I had taken a break from most cleanses in November with the exception of the liver flushes. Today I am having a day of Water Fasting and prayer, although this fast is for spiritual reasons. On Wednesday I need to begin a three day prune and apple juice fast that will hopefully help expell excess mucus, then a Liver Flush on Friday (I am still getting out a lot of stones), then go on to more bowel cleansing. My November diet has not been good and I need to address some health issues myself.
One more thought, none of the cleansing techniques here will provide total overnight relief. Hopefully you will see some results right away, but it will take time. Be patient and keep trying, meanwhile commit yourselt to a lifetime of healthier eating and lifestyle. That is where the real secret to good health lies.
