Parasite cleanse...and magical thinking.
The mis-understanding about cleanses is creating some pretty 'un-necessary' side effects.
If you are doing a cleanse, without guidance and/or with guidance, ask yourself...
🧠what is it for?
🧠what is your health history?
🧠how is your current capacity?
🧠do you have the mental resilience?
🧠do you have the biological resilience?
🧠what is the end goal?
🧠have you got caught up in magical thinking?
🧠has your practitioner got caught up in magical thinking?
Magical thinking as in this cleanse will fix my chronic condition, cure my cancer, grow my hair, increase my talents (you get the gist).
And....
Regarding parasites 🪱 and cancer ..cancers use a parasitic type relationship but they are not contagious and cancers are your OWN make up, your own DNA.
SOME parasites, live in your body in harmony, part of your 'ecosystem', producing no symptoms, just 'vibing' indoors.
Just imagine how far we have come regarding the microbiome. Imagine if everyone continued with antibiotics as if 'wiping' out the bacteria is a good thing. I see more issues in practice stemming from simple gut issues. Eating too fast, eating whilst scrolling, eating on the go...no chance for the parasympathetic (the rest and digest) branch of the nervous system to realise, that you are not actually being chased by a sabre tooth tiger 😍
How do we know what parasites provide us? Of course, I am.not referring to the ones you pick up in contaminated water whilst bag packing on a tight budget with a poor diet.
The terrain is where its at. Biological, Microbial, hormonal, immunological, mental ..etc.
Sadly, I receive these types of messages, where some are still having the same 'detox' symptoms years later.
So be mindful and ask yourself, are you expecting 🎩 magic from a 'one size fits all' cleanse.
Have a read a of the Magical Melanie post (2 posts earlier)...these cleanses can attract Magical thinkers.
No judgement, I understand that desperation can lead to these situations. I would rather this post help someone avoid serious reactions from magical thinking protocols.
