Artemisia absinthium Wormwood - wide usage as a traditional remedy for GI diseases is based on the ability of the herb to reduce the growth of microorganisms whose presence is linked to GI discomfort. This antimicrobial potential is attributed to the broad spectrum of bioactive phenolic compounds present in the herb ethanol extract while increasing friendly gut flora population."
"Wormwood is traditionally used worldwide for digestive discomforts and gastrointestinal ailments, and due to antimicrobial properties with randomized controlled trials confirming its bioactivity in Crohn's disease. Ranges of microorganisms are found to have a role in the Crohn's disease etiology including Streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Listeria monocytogenes. Patients suffering from Crohn's disease and other GI ailments are also more frequently colonized by Candida spp. compared to healthy individuals."

Developing drugs from Nature - Ivermection was based on chemicals made by Mother Nature - The Sweet wormwood plant supplies a key ingredient, artemisinin in the creation of the drug Ivermectin.Artemisinins - Wormwood : the growing importance in medicine - Artemisinins are derived from extracts of Wormwood and are well established for the treatment of malaria, including highly drug-resistant strains. Their efficacy also extends to phylogenetically unrelated parasitic infections such as schistosomiasis. More recently, they have also shown potent and broad anticancer properties in cell lines and animal models.
In 1889, surgeons observed something shocking: a connection between cancer & parasites. Fast forward to today, & modern science is finally catching up. Here are 5 peer-reviewed studies that explore this link.
📌 Study 1 PMID: 35604195: Parasite & Cancer Relationship
Parasites & cancer share shocking similarities: both evade the immune system, resist cell death, & thrive in hostile environments. Some parasites may trigger cancer — while others might fight it — by influencing immunity, inflammation, & tumor growth. source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35604195/
📌 Study 2 PMID: 38489011: The Parasitism & Tumors Carcinogenesis: A Review Subject - Helminths like schistosomiasis are confirmed carcinogens, especially for bladder cancer. Others like leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, & malaria are linked to liver, skin, & blood cancers — with Strongyloides potentially tied to lymphoma. The mechanisms? Complex & multifactorial. source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38489011/
📌 Study 3 PMCID: PMC5233816: Parasite Infection, Carcinogenesis & Human Malignancy - Schistosomiasis, opisthorchiasis, & clonorchiasis are listed as highly carcinogenic. Interestingly, Trypanosoma cruzi might play a dual role — both promoting & suppressing tumors, depending on conditions. & Plasmodium falciparum + EBV? A perfect storm for Burkitt lymphoma. source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5233816/
📌 Study 4 PMID: 29052139: Parasite-Associated Cancers (Blood Flukes/Liver Flukes - The WHO classified liver flukes & blood flukes as Group 1 carcinogens. These parasites silently infect hosts for years before sparking aggressive cancers like cholangiocarcinoma & bladder carcinoma. source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29052139/
📌 Study 5 PMID: 23829116: Role of Parasites in Cancer
In regions where parasites are endemic, certain cancers seem to follow. Coincidence? These infections may act as cancer promoters—laying the groundwork in vulnerable tissues. source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23829116/
Wormwood Extract - GUT Micro-biome Support ++
A Gut Health Reset/Parasite/Fungal Cleanse generally takes place over 2 to 4 weeks - You would need 2 to 4 bottles of Wormwood Extract for 2 to 4 weeks use.
A Gut Health Reset/Parasite/Fungal Cleanse generally takes place 2X a year, Spring and Fall- but can be done as needed (for instance after antibiotic use to re-calibrate the gut microbiome)
You would also ensure all elimination channels are open & be drinking of herbal teas daily - like Tulsi Holy-Basil Tea OR Anti Candida - Parasite Cleanse Care Tea - 3 to 4 mugs per day - hot/cold and consuming plenty of water - 5 to 6 - 8 ounce glasses per day- & adding Liquid Chlorophyll - a half a TSP or so to each glass of water ensuring daily water & herbal hydration consumption is a must.
Also eat plenty of raw fresh garlic - salads - green leafy veg - fruits - papaya fruit - raw pumpkin seeds daily - fruit and veg juices - or smoothies - reducing refined sugar as much as possible ---- and consuming regular meals daily - but pushing fluids and healthy eating habits.
Gut Health Reset/Fungal Cleanse Diet Changes - stomach acid helps protect you from parasites in food, avoid commercial antacids. Limit coffee, restrict refined sugar, alcohol, and refined grains. Include more garlic in your meals. Increase the amount of carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash you eat. These foods are high in beta-carotene, which turns into vitamin A in your body. Vitamin A helps your body resist fungus overgrowth parasitic worms and larvae. Rebuild "good" bacteria in your gut with probiotic-rich foods such as Apples, Rhubarb and other pectin rich fruits. Eat foods rich in vitamin C and B vitamins. Avoid raw meat or fish / sushi.
See: Sweet Rhubarb Tea as a Happy Gut Health Support
Elimination Systems of bowel, kidneys, lungs, skin:
You should be having at least 1 to 2 bowel movements EVERY day prior, as a normal habit before beginning any parasite cleanse. Not having regular daily bowel movements means you have a slow sluggish bowel & this means this eliminating channel is not fully open or functioning at optimum. This may very likely contribute to increased discomforts experienced while doing a cleanse. There is an old adadge when considering what is normal for daily bowel movements - If 3 trains come into the station daily, THEN 3 trains ought to be leaving the station daily. Meaning: if you eat 3 meals daily, normal bowel function is to have 2 to 3 daily bowel movements. See Nature's Detox TEA for increasing bowel transit time.
Epsom salt baths - Like Therapeutic Mustard Bath are nice in the evenings too - for the detoxifying and increasing magnesium serum levels in the body to soothe central nervous system ----- It's can be quite normal to feel a little bloated, tired, or have very mild flu-like symptoms on a parasite cleanse... ensure you are drinking plenty of fluids to keep the elimination channnels open and so you are well hydrated.
All of the above are supportive practices for doing a Gut Health Reset/Parasite/Fungal cleanse routine.
Practicing the above protocols of Gut Health Reset/Parasite/Fungal Cleanse Tips reduces any likelihood of detox headaches, lethargy or fatigue during a seasonal cleanse.
