Full Moons & Parasites

I know it sounds a bit “woo woo” but there’s an actual scientific reason that many people’s symptoms ramp up around the full moon.

This is due to the parasites life cycle in which they are more active and reproducing during full moons.

These circadian rhythms affect all of us. During the full moon, we naturally produce less melatonin and more serotonin, which the parasites love. There are serotonin receptors on human cells and parasites as well. Parasitic worms use serotonin to help them move. When they have access to higher serotonin levels during the full moon, they can move around more freely. It helps them reproduce and get stronger as it increases their ability to feed.

What is Melatonin?

Melatonin is our sleep hormone and it also strengthens our immune system. With defenses down, parasites jump at the opportunity.

What is Serotonin?

Serotonin is our "feel good" neurotransmitter. Parasites use the serotonin to move around.

Since the parasites are not hiding in biofilms during this time, it’s a great time to do a cleanse (with a practitioner)!

Anyone feeling a bit more anxious? trouble sleeping? increased sugar cravings? exhausted ? heightened digestive issues and bloating?

If you have a heavy parasitic load, you will likely feel this way!
