The Good Medicine Roadmap
Detox Phase 1: Parasites
Parasites are not just physical invaders, they are energetic trespassers that thrive in environments of stagnation, suppression and unprocessed emotion. True detox clears them from the body and from the field; addressing the physical, emotional, mental and vibrational layers they infiltrate.
The PHysical Terrian
Parasites are not just rare tropical invaders. They are far more common than we’ve been taught to believe; thriving in environments of chronic stress, poor gut health, sugar-heavy diets, toxic exposure, and unresolved trauma. You can contract parasites through food, water, soil, pets, travel, sexual contact, unwashed produce, and even inherited through the maternal line.
Most people carry them for years…or even decades without knowing it.
Once inside the body, parasites can hide in tissues, biofilms, and even organs. They release neurotoxins, steal nutrients, excrete waste into the bloodstream, and manipulate the nervous system to keep you craving the foods and emotional states that sustain them. They are expert survivalists; forming protective mucus layers, embedding into the gut wall, or hiding in deeper systems like the brain, liver, gallbladder, lymphatic system, and even the reproductive organs. they can reside in the uterus, ovaries, prostate, and vaginal canal, where they contribute to:
Chronic yeast infections
Persistent discharge
Fertility challenges
Hormonal dysregulation
Pelvic congestion
Pain or numbness in the womb or sacral space
Unexplained mood swings tied to the cycle
They can also lodge in joints, muscle tissue, sinus cavities, and even behind the eyes; anywhere your immune system is suppressed or stagnant.
Some Common Signs of Parasite Overload
Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or inconsistent bowels
Teeth grinding, especially at night
Skin issues: hives, eczema, rashes, itchiness
Iron-deficiency anemia or mineral imbalances
Sugar cravings, mood crashes, or “hangry” spells
Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
Jaw tension or buzzing in the ears
Vaginal irritation or chronic UTIs
Eye floaters or blurry vision
Sleep disturbances around the full moon
Feeling “not fully in your body”
An important note regarding parasite detoxing:
The body speaks through symptoms, gentle at first, then louder when it’s being ignored. Bloodwork and specialty testing help us to further decode what the body already knows: that parasitic and pathogenic exposures often underlie chronic dysfunction. But the order of healing matters.
We always begin with parasites on The Good Medicine Roadmap, because as they die off, they release mold, metals and other stored toxins into the bloodstream. If we detox mold or metals before addressing parasites, we risk reinfection of those pathogens, exhausting the body and delaying true resolution.
Ancient Wisdom on Parasites:
A Cross- Cultural Remembering
Across cultures and continents, long before parasites were studied in labs or referenced in bloodwork, our ancestors understood them not merely as biological invaders; but as spiritual indicators. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Indigenous healing systems, parasitic infestation has always pointed to something deeper: an imbalance in the field, a fracture in the boundaries, a weakening of the root.
Parasites were understood to take root in stagnant, unguarded, or unsovereign spaces; within the body, but also within the spirit. They thrive where there is dampness, depletion, disconnection, and depletion of vital energy. In Ayurveda, this is called Ama, undigested matter, toxins, and impressions that clog the subtle and physical channels. In Chinese Medicine, it is a combination of Dampness, Qi deficiency, and Heat in the lower burner. In Indigenous frameworks, parasitic presence often appears where ancestral trauma, boundary collapse, or energetic intrusion has occurred; a soul left too open, too depleted, or too burdened to protect its sacred terrain.
From this lens, parasites affect some people more than others not because of exposure alone, but because of terrain. A body filled with grief, sugar, fear, stagnant trauma, or chronic suppression becomes fertile ground. A field left untended becomes vulnerable. This isn’t about blame, it’s about reclaiming your role as guardian of your internal landscape.
The Root and Sacral Chakras are the energetic epicenters of parasitic disruption. These are the centers of safety, boundaries, identity, sexuality, nourishment, and primal belonging. When parasites are present, we often see corresponding patterns: scarcity fear, hypervigilance, dissociation, shame, overgiving, or difficulty holding boundaries. Clearing parasites can therefore catalyze far more than physical relief, it can awaken emotional memory, ancestral trauma, and long-dormant power stored in the lower centers.
This is why detox must be sacred. It’s not just about killing worms. It’s about calling your spirit back into your body, clearing out what has fed on your vitality, and anchoring into a new level of sovereignty. Parasites leave not only when their food is taken away, but when your frequency is no longer a match for their presence.
This is the work we’re doing here. It is both clinical and ceremonial. Functional and mythic. Scientific and spiritual. When we begin this process, we do so with respect, not panic…and with the understanding that your body isn’t broken. It’s just been too generous for too long. And now, we remember how to reclaim what’s yours.
The Vibrational Signature of Parasites
Parasites don’t just live in the gut, they live in the field.
Every organism carries a frequency. Parasites resonate with a specific low-vibrational bandwidth: fear, scarcity, stagnation, addiction, shame, and energetic vulnerability. They are drawn to weakened boundaries, not just in the gut lining, but in the auric field, in relationships, in consciousness. From a frequency perspective, parasites are not just feeding on nutrients; they’re feeding on your light, your life force, your unprocessed pain.
Quantum biology teaches us that the human body is an electrical system, cells, tissues, and organ systems all communicate via voltage and resonance. When the body is coherent, high-frequency, and well-mineralized, it naturally resists parasitic attachment. But when the terrain is burdened by trauma, toxicity, synthetic food, chronic stress, and emotional suppression, the field collapses, and parasitic resonance moves in.
Parasites as Reflectors of Where You’re Leaking Power
They often show up when there are:
Unconscious energy leaks (overgiving, resentment, enmeshment)
Unprocessed trauma loops stored in the sacral and root chakras
Vows of self-abandonment made to stay safe, loved, or accepted
Grief or fear stored in the nervous system, especially around nourishment, sexuality, or worth
Energetically, parasites are often not the first invasion… they are what come in when something else hasn’t been cleared. They are opportunistic. They arrive when your spiritual firewall is down. And this is why physical protocols alone often fail, because until we clear the vibrational signature that invited them, they will return.
