Parasites
About Parasites
Parasites come up more often than most people expect, and many people come to DrTalks after normal labs didn't explain how they feel. Fatigue that won't lift, bloating, constipation, headaches, anxiety, new food sensitivities, and gut symptoms that flare alongside Lyme, candida or mold illness are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the gut. Parasites are tied to an overwhelmed immune system, a leaky gut lining, histamine and mast cell reactions, heavy metals and mold, and how well your body clears toxins. You'll find conversations on how hidden parasites inflame the body, parasites and MCAS, the link between parasites, mold and blood sugar, and why some detox protocols feel miserable. Doctors, naturopaths and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from stool testing to infection panels and heavy metal testing, and what helps, from antimicrobial protocols and herbs to binders, detox support and probiotics.
