Virtually all chronic diseases—autoimmune, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, cancer, etc.—have an infectious cause. The goal of this post is to explain how to prepare for parasite treatment, which therapies are most effective, and answer your questions so you can play an active role in your recovery as you work with a practitioner.
How do I prepare my body to treat parasites?
Before starting to treat parasites, it is important to:
-
Follow the Live Disease Free Diet to make parasites less active and reduce inflammation
-
Get 8 hours of sleep per night
-
Ensure daily bowel movements
-
Remove mold from your environment
-
Reduce wireless radiation exposure.
Q: Why not just jump into treatment with herbs and parasite drugs?
A: If you are heavily infested, treatment without preparation can cause severe die-off, organ stress, and Herxheimer reactions. Parasites have complex life cycles, and successful recovery requires a strategic approach.
Q: Why aren’t herbs like black walnut, cloves, and wormwood enough?
A: These are helpful for bacteria, protozoa, and small worms in the gut, but alone they are not effective enough to treat parasites that have moved into tissues, organs, and the central nervous system. Herbs alone will not effectively treat large worms. Most people with chronic disease require a layering of therapies, including parasite drugs, herbs, and oxygen therapy.
Q: What symptoms indicate a parasitic infection?
A: Common parasite symptoms include:
- Gut: gas, bloating, gut pain, constipation, diarrhea, blood in stool, rectal itch, hemorrhoids, IBS, IBD
- Brain: brain fog, memory loss, anxiety, depression
- Mobility: numbness, spasms, drop foot, paralysis
- Systemic: inflammation, fatigue, joint pain, autoimmune disease, blood irregularities, insomnia, skin issues.

Q: Which specific parasites have been found in MS brains?
A: Research by pathologist Dr. Alan MacDonald and others has confirmed the presence of the following:
-
Small filarial roundworms (found in every MS subject tested)
-
Tapeworm larvae (neurocysticercosis)
-
Borrelia (Lyme spirochetes), often inside worms
-
Candida/fungi
-
Malaria-type protozoa such as Babesia.
👉 Review the research on the Live Disease Free website.
Q: I feel like I have parasites in my face.
A: This could be caused by parasites directly or by nerve inflammation caused by parasites in the gut. There is an extensive network of nerves running from the brain to the gut. Parasites and their toxins can also travel via the blood to different parts of the body.
Q: Can I send parasites that I have passed to a parasitologist for identification?
A: Yes. In some countries, however, labs are tightly regulated and may discard obvious worm samples in stool. In the U.S., you may be able to find an independent or retired parasitologist willing to identify samples.
Q: How many grams of sugar/carbs should I eat per day?
A: Total carb intake should be under 50g/day, ideally 30–40g/day. All added sugar should be avoided. Only a small serving of certain fruits is permitted in the morning on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before breakfast.

Q: How do I get tested for parasites?
A: Stool tests miss over 90% of infections. The treatment plan is instead based on:
-
Personal and family health history
-
Symptoms
-
Diagnoses
-
Types of worms passed with oxidizing enemas
-
Energy test results
-
Treatment response.
Energy testing may involve muscle testing or devices that measure bioenergetics.
Q: What parasite drugs are most effective?
A: The following are commonly prescribed based on energy testing and under the supervision of a healthcare professional (for educational purposes only):
-
Albendazole – roundworms, some tapeworms, flukes; crosses the blood-brain barrier
-
Ivermectin – roundworms and skin parasites
-
Nitazoxanide (Alinia) – broad spectrum
-
Praziquantel – flukes and tapeworms; also helpful for roundworms; crosses the blood-brain barrier
-
Pyrantel Pamoate – pinworms, roundworms; helpful against flukes
- Fenbendazole –roundworms; helpful against flukes
-
Niclosamide – some tapeworms
-
Triclabendazole – flukes, especially liver flukes
-
Fluconazole / itraconazole – fungal overgrowth.
Note: Always be energy-tested before having parasite drugs prescribed, and monitor liver and kidney function after treatment.
Q: Can garlic really help treat parasites?
A: Yes. Garlic has significant antimicrobial properties against fungi, Lyme co-infections, protozoa, bacteria, and small worms. It must be introduced slowly and only after preparation. Many students work up to 1 tsp of chopped garlic per meal, with periodic breaks. Note: Garlic is a blood thinner.
Q: Is ivermectin a cure for MS?
A: No. We have not supported a single student who recovered from MS using only ivermectin. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier and only treats certain roundworms. Misuse can cause harm or resistance.
Q: What’s wrong with just taking fenbendazole or ivermectin alone?
A: Self-medicating with these drugs is not effective for treating MS or other chronic diseases and can be dangerous because:
-
They may not target the parasites causing your illness
-
Incorrect doses can cause drug resistance or organ damage especially liver and / or kidney
-
They don’t treat all life stages of parasites.
Q: How do you treat worms when they are in the brain or central nervous system?
A: Use parasite drugs that test well energetically and cross the blood-brain barrier, along with oxygen therapy and liposomal herbs. Treatments must be layered and repeated over multiple cycles.
Q: What if I have Lyme disease (Borrelia)?
A: Many students diagnosed with Lyme also have large worms. Treating parasites from large to small often leads to successful recovery. Treating Lyme alone often fails when worms are not addressed.
Q: What are “angry worm” symptoms?
A: When a treatment irritates but doesn’t kill a parasite, symptoms can worsen. This includes anxiety, pain, inflammation, fatigue, or neurological symptoms. Stop treatment and allow 1–3 days to recover, and report this to your healthcare provider.
Q: How do you treat candida and mold?
A: After treating large worms and protozoa, fungal overgrowth is addressed using antifungal medications like fluconazole, itraconazole, or nystatin.
-
Itraconazole is often used for mold
-
Fluconazole is more effective for Candida.
These drugs should not be combined with other parasite medications due to potential interactions and are metabolized by the liver—treatment must be supervised.
Wellness Champions recovering from parasites that cause disease
The first three students are currently following the prep phase of the Live Disease Free Plan:
Student #1 – “I have had eye floaters every day since my episode almost a year ago. After just over a week of the Live Disease Free diet, I have not noticed any eye floaters over the last few days!”
Student #2 – “I have been virtually bedridden for many years, seeing many doctors and specialists. I have been on the Live Disease Free diet for one week and I have been out of bed for the past three days. I can also read a book because my brain fog has improved so much.”
Student #3 – “I have been suffering from high blood pressure, but since I have been following the Live Disease Free diet and have been doing daily oxidizing enemas and weekly colonics, my blood pressure has returned to normal. I don’t need to take medicine for it.”
Student #4 – Following the Live Disease Free diet for a couple of weeks and has done a few oxidizing enemas:
There are real solutions to recover from parasites today!
To restore health, we must focus on treating the cause of inflammation, which are parasites. First, identify the enemy (parasites), then support the body and treat the parasites while following a holistic approach. When parasitic infections are treated effectively, we can overcome inflammation or disease.
