The Symptoms You’re Told to Ignore Might Be Trying To Tell You Something, Learn How To Fight Parasites Naturally Today
Learn how herbs like Wormwood, Clove Bud, Walnut Hull, Fennel Seeds, Mimosa Pudica, and binders can cleanse your body.
A Quick introduction of what Heretic Cleansing is about
If you’ve ever been told that bloating, fatigue, brain fog, sugar cravings, or stubborn skin issues are “just stress,” “normal,” or something you should push through—this is for you. Especially if you eat well, take care of yourself, and still don’t feel like yourself. And before you roll your eyes and think, “Parasites? That’s extreme,” hear me out. This isn’t about fear, shame, or assuming something is “wrong” with you. It’s about reframing those nagging symptoms as signals, not personal failure, we’ll unpack the symptoms people are often told to ignore. We’ll also touch on how some people support their bodies using traditional herbs like black walnut, wormwood, clove, garlic, and oregano, along with other commonly discussed tools such as mimosa pudica seeds, often used for their gel-like, binding qualities in the gut, and binders like activated charcoal or zeolite, which some people use thoughtfully to help bind and carry out unwanted byproducts. We’ll also look at simple daily habits—like drinking from copper water bottles, valued by many for their natural antimicrobial properties and gentle support of digestion and mineral balance. And importantly, we’ll talk about when not to consider parasite cleanses at all—such as if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeeding, a time when cleansing protocols are generally not recommended and supporting nourishment and stability takes priority. Nothing extreme. Nothing fear-based. Just grounded information to help you understand what your body may be communicating and decide what truly makes sense for you.
Some Benefits from doing a cleanse
Reduced bloating and digestive discomfort
Some people notice less gas, bloating, or heaviness after meals when gut burden is reduced.
Improved bowel regularity
Parasite-focused protocols often emphasize elimination, hydration, and gut movement.
Better nutrient absorption
When the gut is functioning more efficiently, the body may better absorb vitamins and minerals from food.
Increased energy levels
People sometimes report feeling less drained or fatigued, especially if chronic low-grade stress on the body is reduced.
Clearer thinking and reduced brain fog
Supporting the gut–brain connection may help with mental clarity for some individuals.
Reduced sugar or carbohydrate cravings
Some people notice cravings lessen when gut balance improves.
Support for gut microbiome balance
Certain herbs and protocols are used with the intention of creating a more balanced internal environment.
Less skin congestion or inflammation
The gut–skin connection means digestive changes can sometimes reflect on the skin.
Improved immune system resilience
Supporting gut health can indirectly support immune function, as much of the immune system resides in the gut.
Greater awareness of gut health and body signals
Doing a cleanse often increases mindfulness around digestion, hydration, and symptoms.
Better response to probiotics or gut-healing protocols afterward
Some people feel that follow-up gut support works better after a cleanse.
A sense of reset or recalibration
Not a cure—but a chance to reassess habits, diet, and stress with more clarity.
Different Types of Parasites that can Cause Symptom's
Pathogenic or dysbiotic bacteria
These include harmful bacteria or an overgrowth of otherwise commensal species that disrupt normal gut microbiota balance. They can produce endotoxins, promote intestinal inflammation, impair barrier function, and interfere with nutrient absorption, leading to symptoms such as bloating, altered bowel habits, abdominal discomfort, and malabsorption.
Candida (intestinal yeast overgrowth)
Candida species are opportunistic fungi that are part of the normal gut flora in low amounts. Overgrowth can occur when microbial balance or immune regulation is impaired. Excessive Candida can contribute to mucosal irritation, increased intestinal permeability, and fermentation-related symptoms such as bloating, gas, altered stool patterns, and systemic symptoms due to metabolic byproducts.
Protozoa
Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotic parasites that colonize or infect the gastrointestinal tract, often acquired via contaminated food or water. They may adhere to or invade the intestinal mucosa, causing inflammation, enzymatic disruption, and impaired nutrient absorption. Clinical manifestations commonly include chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, fatigue, and weight loss.
Helminths (intestinal worms)
Helminths are multicellular parasitic organisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract.
They may cause mechanical irritation, immune activation, blood loss, and competition for
nutrients. Depending on species and burden, they can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea,
anemia, micronutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and growth or weight changes.
