Parasites and candida (yeast) can wreak havoc in your gut, and they are much more common than you think.

In my experience, they are opportunistic and will easily take over and cause symptoms when the environment in your gut, and your immunity, are less than optimal.

So in order to truly heal your gut, it's important to take measures to support the gut terrain, as described in this course, but you might also need to take some action to get rid of those nasty critters!

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE PARASITES OR CANDIDA?

A white tongue is a classic sign of candida overgrowth. If it's on your tongue... it's probably in your gut too, especially if you have digestive issues.

ACTION STEP: Take this simple home test to detect candida. Download the PDF below to get the instructions. Send me some pictures of your results ;-)

Stool testing: The most reliable way to detect parasites is to perform a stool test (PCR). However, you should know that testing for parasites is extremely flawed, and often results in false negatives (meaning you have parasites, but the test fails to show it). The trouble is that parasites don’t necessarily come out every time you have a bowel movement.

For this reason, it is often best to base yourself on symptoms to figure out if you might have parasites.

Dr Todd Watts, parasite expert and the man behind one of the most amazing anti-parasitic treatment, Para-1 Mimosa Pudica, says that if you have a pulse, you have parasites!

For candida/yeast: Although the home test is great, it's obviously not as accurate as a lab test. Unfortunately, stool tests are not very accurate to detect candida. The Organic acid Test is the best option in this case. The Organic Acid Test is an amazing test to evaluate every aspect of your body and I highly recommended it if you can afford it.

If you are interested in having any of those tests done, get in touch with me ([email protected]) and I can either order them for you, or let you know where to order them yourself (if you are in not residing in Australia).
