Up to nearly 10% of Americans may be infected with brain parasites found in undercooked meat. One example is the brain-invasive pork tapeworm, which is the most common cause of adult-onset epilepsy. Allergenic fish worms found in nearly two-thirds of retail fish tested can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. There have been migratory skin worms found in undercooked fish (like in sushi). Cheese may contain mites and maggots and organ meats may contain other worms.
Cheese: asiago, bel paese, bleu/blue, brick, brie, camembert, emmental, gorgonzola, gruyere, muenster, port de salut, roquefort, stilton, swiss, pork
Nearly 95% of tested retail U.S. beef (including burgers) has been found to be parasite infested. The meat industry has responded to this problem by feeding arsenic to chickens and turkeys to reduce the parasite load; this arsenic may be linked to increased cancer risk in consumers, and adding bacteria-eating viruses to meat would not help one avoid the brain parasite, toxoplasma, the second leading cause of foodborne disease-related death in the United States. Being bitten by the external parasite, a lone star tick, may result in developing an allergy to meat.
Anti-parasitic diet by Connie Dello Buono
- Avoid cheese, under-cooked meat, salads and produce not properly washed with vinegar or salt water, over ripe fruits, eat limes and berries, pineapple and papaya, sweet potatoes or yams, pine nuts, and eat less on fermented foods (except fiber-rich).
- Consume less fat and sugar filled and processed foods but eat more fiber-rich foods, freshly cooked and well cooked. Combine meat with veggies. Eat less fermented veggies and alcohol drinks.
- Add cabbage , tomatoes and lemon when cooking fish or meat to kill the parasites. Boil milk if you wanted to drink 2% milk. Add garlic, onions and sulfur rich foods in your meals daily. Eat well washed raw carrots and garlic.
- Have a banana at night (not over ripe).
- Avoid caffeine and chocolate until you have completed your anti-parasitic meds.
- Lowering your fat intake from keto diet, lowers the supply of cholesterol for parasites to thrive.
- Warm drink of decaf tea, soy milk, almond milk
- Use all kinds of coconut from oil to milk. Do not consume 3-day old rice or left over foods. Wear gloves when washing fish.
- Promote good hygiene. Freeze fish for portion you cannot eat within 2 days. Do not eat wilted veggies or moldy and rotten.
Up to nearly 10% of Americans may be infected with brain parasites found in undercooked meat. One example is the brain-invasive pork tapeworm, which is the most common cause of adult-onset epilepsy. Allergenic fish worms found in almost 66% of retail fish tested can trigger allergic reaction in delicate/sensitive people.
There have been migratory skin worms found in half-cooked fish (like in sushi). Cheese may contain parasites and slimy parasites and organ meats may contain different worms. Cheese: asiago, bel paese, bleu/blue, brick, brie, camembert, emmental, gorgonzola, gruyere, muenster, port de salut, roquefort, stilton, swiss, pork Nearly 95% of tested retail U.S. meat (including burgers) has been observed to be parasite plagued.
The meat business has reacted to this issue by encouraging arsenic to chickens and turkeys to reduce the parasite load; this arsenic might be connected to increased of cancer risk in customers, and adding bacteria-eating viruses to meat would not help one to keep away the brain parasite, toxoplasma, the second leading reason for foodborne sickness related death in the US.

More tips
- Avoid simple carbohydrates, such as those found in refined foods, fruits, juices, dairy products, and all sugars, except honey.
- Eat more raw garlic, pumpkin seeds, pomegranates, beets, and carrots, all of which have been used traditionally used to kill parasites. In one study, researchers found that a mixture of honey and papaya seeds cleared stools of parasites in 23 out of 30 subjects. Drink a lot of water to help flush out your system.
- Eat more fiber, which may help get rid of worms.
- Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacilus plantarum, Saccharomyces boulardii, and bifidobacteria). Help keep your digestive tract healthy. Probiotics may not be appropriate in some severely immune compromised patients. Talk to your doctor.
- Digestive enzymes will help restore your intestinal tract to its normal state, which makes it inhospitable to parasites. Papain is an enzyme from the papaya plant that may help kill worms when taken 30 minutes before or after meals. Papain may increase bleeding in people with clotting disorders, or in those taking blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin) among others.
- Vitamin C. Supports the immune system. Lower the dose if diarrhea develops.
- Vitamin A (VitA) is a micronutrient that is crucial for maintaining vision, promoting growth and development, and protecting epithelium and mucus integrity in the body. VitA is known as an anti-inflammation vitamin because of its critical role in enhancing immune function.
- Zinc. Supports the immune system. Zinc may interact with certain medications, particularly some antibiotics, and it may not be appropriate for people with HIV/AIDS. Talk to your doctor.
- Niacin deficiency in pellagra associated with certain parasites, seems to be due to the impairment in the further degradation of 3-hydroxykynurenine to niacin.
Herbs
Herbs are a way to strengthen and tone the body’s systems. As with any therapy, you should work with your doctor to diagnose your problem before starting treatment. You may use herbs as dried extracts (capsules, powders, or teas), glycerites (glycerine extracts), or tinctures (alcohol extracts). People with a history of alcoholism should not take tinctures.
Many of the herbs used to treat intestinal parasites have toxic side effects or interfere with other medications. Use them only under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. Your health care provider should treat you with the most gentle herb that is effective for the type of parasite you have. A few of the herbs that your provider might consider include:
- Garlic (Allium sativum)
- Barberry (Berberis vulgaris)
- Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis)
- Oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium)
- Anise (Pimpinella anisum)
- Wormwood ((Artemisia annua))
- Curled mint (Mentha crispa)
- Black walnuts (Juglans nigra)
