Parasites as the Root Cause of Symptoms

David DeHaas • August 10, 2026

Fatigue, gas, bloating, joint pain, brain fog and even cancer and more may be linked to one animal you  don’t want as a pet yet may have been living within us for years. 


Experts believe most of the population is infected with parasites in some manner, some with more severe infections than others. 


This problem in not limited to people that travel to foreign countries. 


According to gastroenterologist Dr. Robyn Chutkan, M.D., author of the bestselling book Gutbliss, millions of people suffer from parasites. Parasites can linger undetected in the intestinal tract for years. One study of people with chronic fatigue syndrome found that over 46 percent of them were infected with parasites. 


Becoming infected isn’t difficult. Many everyday experiences can bring us into contact with parasites: eating sushi or pork, walking barefoot, playing with a pet, eating raw or unwashed food, having unprotected sex, drinking unfiltered water, kissing and even touching something that was previously touched by an infected person. 


There are parasites we can see, like tapeworms, larvae, hook worms, rope worms and liver flukes that bury themselves in the intestines and liver. There are also hundreds of other parasites we don’t see that live in our skin, blood and organs. 


Parasites are beings and as such create waste products and give off energy, an energy that may not be serving our higher purpose. One theory holds that the intense energy of the full moon affects parasites as much as it affects humans, compounding the problems seen by emergency room medics, police and firefighters as increasingly active parasites produce larger numbers of eggs and increased waste products. 


Things we can do to help eliminate parasites. 


  • Deworm pets regularly. 
  • Regularly wash hands, clothes, bedding and fresh vegetables. 
  • Freeze meats, including fish. 
  • When drying hands in the bathroom, don’t use a previously used towel. 
  • Eat two cloves of garlic a day. It’s a natural antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-parasitic. 
  • Take an herbal formula with wormwood, cloves and black walnut green hull. 
  • Take a digestive enzyme to increase stomach acids. 
  • Eat a mixture of papaya seeds with honey. Pumpkin seeds are good too. 
  • Drink a tablespoon of bentonite clay twice per day. 
  • Use a wearable parasite zapper that emits a frequency the bugs don’t like. 
  • Use a pulse frequency machine, like the Ondamed, that has been programmed with hundreds of parasite-specific frequencies. 
  • Do several colonic sessions. The warm water will help evacuate unwanted pests.

In my interview with Dr. Don Huber on The Whole Body Detox Show (Episodes 26 & 27), I was shocked by what he shared about glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup®. This chemical has been banned or restricted in over 60 countries, yet it remains widely used in the United States. Glyphosate has been linked to cancer, severe endocrine disruption, and neurological damage — and Dr. Huber made it clear that its effects go far beyond what most people realize. Glyphosate is a known endocrine disruptor, meaning it interferes with hormones — the very system responsible for sexual development, neurological wiring, and identity formation. When you disrupt hormones, especially during childhood development, you disrupt biology. It should not surprise anyone that we are now seeing unprecedented levels of gender dysphoria, hormonal confusion, and neurological dysfunction in children who have been chemically exposed from the womb onward. In 1996, farmers began spraying Roundup on wheat right before harvest, not to kill weeds, but to dry the crop faster. The weeds are gone — but the poison remains. Glyphosate is also sprayed on alfalfa, meaning it enters the bodies of beef and dairy cows. From there, it enters milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, meat, and countless other foods. Every time you eat bread, drink coffee with cream, or consume dairy, you are likely ingesting small but cumulative doses of glyphosate. This chemical was originally developed to descale industrial pipes. Now it is inside the human body — and people wonder why they are sick. Colon hydrotherapy is one of the most effective ways to open the bodyʼs primary detoxification routes. Every organ in the body connects to the colon. There are more neurons in the gut than in the spinal cord, which is why the colon and small intestine are often called the second brain. If the gut is toxic, the brain, hormones, and immune system will be compromised. Children born since 1996 have never known a chemical-free food supply. They have been raised on glyphosate, pesticides, plastics, and hormone-disrupting compounds. At the same time, we are told to ignore the explosion of autoimmune disease, neurological disorders, infertility, and gender confusion — as if these trends are unrelated. They are not. There are now over 80,000 synthetic chemicals in circulation, many of which are present in food, water, air, and household products. The FDA has done little to adequately test the long-term effects of these chemicals — especially their combined impact on the human endocrine and nervous systems. At Living Waters Wellness Center, we see the consequences every day. Clients come in suffering from brain fog, joint pain, skin conditions, asthma, allergies, autoimmune disease, Parkinsonʼs, ALS, MS, and other inflammatory and neurological conditions. The common denominator is toxic overload and chronic inflammation. The body cannot heal when it is poisoned. That is why we follow the Four Natural Laws of Healing: Clean the colon Clean the small intestine Clean the blood and detox pathways Restore the body with proper nutrients Dr. Bernard Jensen, widely regarded as the father of modern colon health, said it plainly: “In over 50 years of helping people overcome illness and disease, it is clear that proper bowel management must be addressed first.” After more than 14 years of helping people reclaim their health, we agree. The toxic burden placed on the human body is staggering, and cleansing is no longer optional. It is the first and most important step toward real healing. If we want a healthy future — physically, mentally, and biologically — we must address what is poisoning us now.

Geri, a mother of ten, had struggled for years with chronic hives and numbness in her left arm and hands. For over 16 years, she relied on daily Zyrtec to manage her symptoms. Despite trying numerous approaches and consulting many different types of practitioners, she continued to experience discomfort and frustration. Geri eventually enrolled in the 10-Day Healing Retreat at Living Waters Wellness Center. Over the course of the program, she experienced significant improvements. By the end of the retreat, her hives had resolved, and she no longer felt dependent on daily antihistamines. The numbness in her arm and hands also subsided. In addition to these changes, her skin appeared healthier, and she reported increased energy and vitality. At Living Waters, we focus on what we call the Four Natural Laws of Healing: Supporting colon health Supporting small intestine health Supporting healthy blood and detox pathways Nourishing the body with targeted, high-quality nutrients When these foundational systems are supported, the body is better able to restore balance and function as it was designed to do. As health pioneer V.E. Irons famously stated: “If you had a clean colon, you would not have your disease.” Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle, supportive method used to help open the body’s primary detoxification pathways. The colon plays a central role in overall wellness, as every major organ system connects to it. In fact, the colon and small intestine are often referred to as the “second brain,” due to their extensive network of neurons and their influence on the nervous system, immune response, and overall vitality. Renowned practitioner Dr. Bernard Jensen — author of more than 40 books on health and nutrition and widely regarded as a pioneer of colon health — once stated: “In over 50 years of helping people overcome illness and dis-ease, it is clear that for any effectual healing to take place, proper bowel management must be addressed first.” After more than 14 years of supporting clients on their wellness journeys, we have found the same principle to be true: digestive and bowel health are foundational to whole-body wellness. Individual results may vary. This case study reflects one client’s experience and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.

All disease stems from inflammation caused by one primary factor: toxins. These toxins originate from chemicals in our food, air, and water, as well as toxic thoughts that generate emotions contributing to disease. Inside every cell are tiny engines called mitochondria—the powerhouses where energy is produced. Some cells contain more mitochondria than others; for example, skin cells require less energy than heart or brain cells. To fuel these engines, we consume food. It is first broken down by stomach acids, then moves to the small intestine—a 25-foot-long organ—where digestion and absorption continue. Here, nutrients pass through villi (finger-like projections resembling shag carpet) into the bloodstream. However, if old, rotting food lingers too long in the intestines, it can cause tiny tears in the gut lining. Toxins from pesticides (e.g., glyphosate, atrazine), gluten, medications like NSAIDs, trans fats, sugar, and stress hormones (cortisol) can then leak through these breaches into the bloodstream. When foreign particles enter the blood, the immune system attacl‹s them. This is often called “leaky gut” and can lead to autoimmune conditions such as lupus or arthritis, bloating, IBS, diarrhea, constipation, food sensitivities, allergies, frequent infections, eczema, acne, psoriasis, brain fog, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and joint pain. The blood becomes “mucked up” with debris. It diverts some toxins into tissues, where the lymphatic system attempts to clear them. The rest reaches the liver, which wraps toxins in bile for elimination or storage. If the liver is overwhelmed, toxins are stored in fat tissue. For those struggling to lose weight, this explains why: your body is protecting you by sequestering toxins in fat—far better than allowing them to accumulate in the brain (which is also fatty tissue!). Once nutrients reach the cells and enter the mitochondrial engines, “combustion” produces energy. But why doesn't everyone achieve optimal mitochondrial function? It's simple: just as a car engine needs a spark plug, clean fuel, and proper maintenance for combustion, your mitochondria require high-quality nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. If you're tired, lethargic, or diseased, it's because your cells lack these essentials— often from non-organic foods depleted of nutrients. Even organic produce today contains about 75% fewer nutrients than the same foods 60 years ago. You must supplement with high-quality vitamins and minerals (preferably chelated for better absorption) to keep your engines firing. Without them, the body activates an emergency plan: it “borrows” minerals from hair, nails, or bones to prioritize vital organs. This leads to thinning hair, brittle nails, or osteoporosis. Years later—perhaps 20—40 years down the line—you may face hip or knee replacements, cataract surgery, or other issues, all traceable to nutrient deficiencies. (See my related article on healing a torn meniscus naturally.) Take Action: Clean up your diet with organic, nutrient-dense foods. Take high-quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplements with chelated minerals. Heal your gut: Increase fiber intake and consider colon hydrotherapy to clear the intestinal tract. Monitor your bowel movements. If you're eating but not eliminating regularly, digested matter backs up, creating havoc in the colon and small intestine.
