1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:08,559
What if everything we've been told about
autoimmunity is wrong?
2
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:11,279
I'm Elizabeth Yarnell.
3
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:17,885
After awakening partially blind one morning in
1999, a doctor told me my multiple sclerosis
4
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:21,484
would put me in a wheelchair within ten years.
5
00:00:22,524 --> 00:00:27,644
I refused to accept that as the end of the
story, so I started investigating.
6
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:36,170
Welcome to The Inflammation Investigator, the
podcast that uncovers the inflammation lurking
7
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:38,329
underneath your ailments.
8
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:46,704
Because autoimmune and chronic conditions
should not be viewed as death knells when they
9
00:00:46,704 --> 00:00:49,344
are actually alarm bells.
10
00:00:50,625 --> 00:00:57,369
I'm a traditional naturopath and founder of the
Inflammation Academy, And in two episodes every
11
00:00:57,369 --> 00:01:01,689
week, we dig into what conventional medicine
might be missing.
12
00:01:02,570 --> 00:01:08,170
If you're living with chronic or unexplained
symptoms, this investigation is for you.
13
00:01:09,254 --> 00:01:12,135
Your body has been trying to tell you
something.
14
00:01:12,854 --> 00:01:14,534
Let's start listening.
15
00:01:17,655 --> 00:01:25,700
In the last episode, we talked about testing
for parasitic infections and why so many tests
16
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,659
are notorious for false negatives.
17
00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:33,219
Today, we'll talk about actually eradicating
parasites.
18
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:34,579
Don't forget, I will be reading.
19
00:01:36,465 --> 00:01:42,545
The pharmaceutical drugs that medical doctors
often use for parasite eradication include
20
00:01:42,784 --> 00:01:47,344
metronidazole, albendazole, and ivermectin.
21
00:01:49,149 --> 00:01:57,069
You should note that ivermectin is an
antiparasitic, not an antiviral nor an
22
00:01:57,069 --> 00:02:02,670
antibiotic, despite some misinformation spread
during the early 2020s.
23
00:02:04,524 --> 00:02:11,245
You should also know that antibiotics are
usually not super effective when dealing with
24
00:02:11,245 --> 00:02:12,284
parasites.
25
00:02:12,925 --> 00:02:18,284
That's because they're made to deal with
bacteria, not parasites.
26
00:02:19,169 --> 00:02:25,250
The antiparasitic drugs, on the other hand, can
be very effective in the short term.
27
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:33,969
But remember, they only kill off the adult
parasites and may have no effect on existing
28
00:02:33,969 --> 00:02:36,905
eggs or encapsulated cysts.
29
00:02:38,025 --> 00:02:41,865
They are also rough on the body due to their
toxicity.
30
00:02:42,504 --> 00:02:47,944
Not only do they kill the parasites, they wipe
out the entire microbiome as well.
31
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:56,669
As another medical doctor once explained to me,
using metronidazole to kill a parasite is the
32
00:02:56,669 --> 00:02:57,950
nuclear option.
33
00:03:00,349 --> 00:03:05,925
In my personal experience, a round of
metronidazole leaves your body feeling
34
00:03:05,925 --> 00:03:11,765
vulnerable and exposed without some key
components of your immune system.
35
00:03:13,045 --> 00:03:20,489
Drugs like this are so toxic that they kill off
everything, both the good and the bad, in the
36
00:03:20,489 --> 00:03:25,849
body and leave your digestive system in bad
shape.
37
00:03:26,810 --> 00:03:33,375
If you've ever noticed how your gut fares after
a course of antibiotics, then you'll know a
38
00:03:33,375 --> 00:03:35,534
little bit about what to expect.
39
00:03:36,894 --> 00:03:45,134
What's even worse is because the parasite eggs
or cysts are left behind to repopulate,
40
00:03:46,370 --> 00:03:50,930
symptoms often return within months after
initial treatment.
41
00:03:52,849 --> 00:03:59,569
In my view, as a professional traditional
naturopath, it is preferable to use a gentle
42
00:03:59,055 --> 00:04:06,334
combination of enzymatic intestinal scrubbing
followed by targeted antiparasitic and biofilm
43
00:04:06,334 --> 00:04:14,650
disrupting herbs for a month to address all of
the stages of a parasite's life cycle without
44
00:04:14,650 --> 00:04:18,889
destroying your body's microbiome in the
process.
45
00:04:21,209 --> 00:04:28,835
It must be done for at least a month, because
parasites are lunar creatures who are often
46
00:04:28,835 --> 00:04:35,795
most active during a full moon, making it
optimal to cover the full moons on either side
47
00:04:35,795 --> 00:04:36,995
of your cleanse.
48
00:04:38,595 --> 00:04:43,620
I've noticed that many chronic stage clients
don't feel any different while going through
49
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:48,819
the herbal regimen beyond the hassle of
remembering to take the herbs multiple times
50
00:04:48,819 --> 00:04:49,620
daily.
51
00:04:50,259 --> 00:04:57,634
But at around the three month mark, they
noticed that many unconnected symptoms have
52
00:04:57,634 --> 00:04:58,514
improved.
53
00:04:59,394 --> 00:05:06,914
In my experience, at the three month mark, my
senses heighten and colors seem brighter and
54
00:05:06,914 --> 00:05:14,020
more vivid, My workouts feel easier, and my
sleep is deeper and more dream filled.
55
00:05:15,459 --> 00:05:21,375
I've seen a parasite cleanse make so many
symptoms improve or disappear that the person
56
00:05:21,375 --> 00:05:25,455
no longer needs any other interventions or
treatments.
57
00:05:27,375 --> 00:05:31,855
You'll never know how much parasites are
influencing your health until you get rid of
58
00:05:31,855 --> 00:05:32,095
them.
59
00:05:33,580 --> 00:05:38,379
Definitely visit theparasitepurge.com for more
information.
60
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:48,779
This is what one of my clients, Susan from New
Hampshire, has to say about her experience with
61
00:05:47,745 --> 00:05:49,824
clearing out parasites.
62
00:05:50,865 --> 00:05:55,665
I was diagnosed with the blastocystitis
parasite two years ago.
63
00:05:56,305 --> 00:06:02,384
Cleared that, or so I thought, with
antibiotics, but didn't feel quite my best.
64
00:06:03,699 --> 00:06:08,259
Fast forward two years, apparently picked up
another parasite.
65
00:06:08,419 --> 00:06:10,259
I felt so awful.
66
00:06:10,899 --> 00:06:17,705
Allopathic medicine told me all the parasite
tests came back negative, but each test noticed
67
00:06:17,705 --> 00:06:21,305
the caveat: these tests might be inconclusive.
68
00:06:21,865 --> 00:06:23,384
This was not helpful.
69
00:06:25,305 --> 00:06:32,589
I completed the thirty day parasite cleanse and
am now well on the path of the LEAP anti
70
00:06:32,589 --> 00:06:34,269
inflammation food plan.
71
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:40,349
It is all challenging, but I feel so much
better and know that I am strengthening my gut
72
00:06:40,349 --> 00:06:42,910
and immune system for far better health in the
future.
73
00:06:44,555 --> 00:06:50,475
Be sure to tune in to the next episode as we
conclude our series on parasites and
74
00:06:50,475 --> 00:06:51,435
inflammation.
75
00:06:52,154 --> 00:06:53,355
I will see you then.
76
00:06:55,675 --> 00:07:00,939
And that's another case filed on the
inflammation investigator.
77
00:07:01,899 --> 00:07:06,379
Remember, every symptom is your body's way of
communicating.
78
00:07:06,860 --> 00:07:08,620
We just need to learn the language.
79
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:14,085

00:07:36,310 --> 00:07:38,389
They work best when you're not going it alone.

Let's find them together.
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:08,559
What if everything we've been told about
autoimmunity is wrong?

I'm Elizabeth Yarnell.

underneath your ailments.
8
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:46,704
Because autoimmune and chronic conditions

I'm a traditional naturopath and founder of the

metronidazole, albendazole, and ivermectin.
21
