Gabriel's Approach to Parasitic Infections
Gabriel takes parasites seriously (conventional medicine dismisses unless obvious travel history). Comprehensive stool testing (GI-MAP or equivalent—PCR technology more sensitive than old O&P) identifies specific parasites. Protocol: 1) Multi-herb antiparasitic protocol (rotate herbs every 2 weeks t...

Key Supplements
- Antiparasitic herbs (ROTATE every 2 weeks to prevent resistance—different herbs kill different parasites and life stages): Black Walnut Hull 500mg 3x/day, Wormwood (Artemisia) 500mg 3x/day (strong antiparasitic—avoid if pregnant/nursing, seizure disorder), Clove 500mg 3x/day (kills parasite eggs—critical), Oregano Oil 500mg 3x/day (broad antiparasitic, antifungal, antibacterial), Berberine 500mg 3x/day (protozoa especially—Giardia, Entamoeba), Grapefruit Seed Extract 500mg 2-3x/day, Mimosa Pudica 2-4g/day (gut scrubber—binds and pulls out parasites mechanically, very effective), Neem 500mg 2x/day, Papaya Seed Extract (antiparasitic), Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) 1 Tbsp/day (mechanical action—cuts parasite exoskeletons), Garlic (allicin—antiparasitic, 2-3 cloves raw daily or aged garlic extract), Pumpkin Seeds (traditional for tapeworms—cucurbitacin paralyzes worms, eat 1/4 cup raw daily), Biofilm disruptors (essential—parasites hide in biofilms): NAC 1200mg 2x/day, Serrapeptase, Lumbrokinase, Binders (CRITICAL—take AWAY from herbs, 2+ hours apart—prevent reabsorption): Activated Charcoal 1-2g 2-3x/day, Bentonite Clay 1 tsp 2x/day, Zeolite, Chlorella 3-5g/day, Digestive Enzymes (proteolytic enzymes between meals—digest parasite proteins): Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, papain, bromelain, Support: Probiotics (AFTER clearance—restore gut flora), Vitamin C 2-4g/day (immune support), Zinc 30-50mg (immune function)
Key Lab Markers
- Comprehensive stool test using PCR (GI-MAP, Doctor's Data Comprehensive Parasitology, Genova Diagnostics GI Effects—more sensitive than old O&P, tests for multiple parasites including protozoa and helminths), 3-day stool collection (increases sensitivity—parasites shed intermittently), Scotch tape test (pinworms—tape on anus overnight, examine under microscope for eggs), Blood tests: Eosinophils (often elevated with parasites—but not always, CBC), Antibodies for some parasites (Toxoplasma, Trichinella, Strongyloides), Anemia panel (iron, B12, ferritin—parasites cause deficiencies, some consume blood), Comprehensive metabolic panel (liver, kidney function), Vitamin B12 (deficiency—some parasites consume B12), Ferritin, Iron studies (anemia from blood loss—hookworms especially), Zonulin (intestinal permeability—parasites damage gut lining), Stool calprotectin (intestinal inflammation), Food sensitivity panel (parasites trigger food sensitivities via gut damage), Multiple samples (parasites shed intermittently—one negative test doesn't rule out, need 3 samples ideally), Consider empiric treatment (if high suspicion but negative tests—testing isn't 100% sensitive)
