Removing Parasites & Heavy Metals 🦠

 

Many renowned health experts like Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz emphasize that health and disease start from the gut. Poor gut health leads to ‘leaky gut’ and inflammation which causes autoimmune diseases like psoriasis to more serious diseases like cancer. Good gut health leads to being more productive, more creative, sharper, in a better mood and generally feeling better overall in all aspects. You are what you eat; food affects your mood! This not only makes you live a longer life, but a more fulfilled life, as feeling good is key to everything you manifest into your life. You are what you eat; food affects your mood! Your state of being affects the things you manifest in your life, including health (more can be read about this via our Law of Attraction category here). Your state of being also affects the things you manifest in your life, including health (more can be read about this via our Law of Attraction category here).

Diet has the main direct impact on gut health and your body’s overall ability to function to its full potential. Also, parasites and heavy metals can affect gut health. You can remove these by looking at the notes below, as well as some recommended supplements for gut repair. Foods and supplements should all be naturally sourced/organic and so many that are listed below are also linked to quality products:

Anti fungal/remove parasites – Garlic, raw apple cider vinegar, manuka honey, coconut oil, black walnut, cloves, grapeseed oil, pumpkin seed, oregano leaf. This supplement has all the key ingredients, other ingredients are easy to purchase whole/raw.

Remove heavy metals – Coriander Cilantro (effective to use cilantro heavy metal detox drops), garlic, blueberries, lemon water, spirulina, chlorella. Greens are best eaten as a wholefood, but this is a great greens superfood supplement.

Supplements that aid gut repair – Micronized L-glutamine (helps repair the gut wall), TUDCA bile salts (helps digest food), raw apple cider vinegar (also helps digest food, less so than bile salts, but has many other benefits such as antioxidation, regulating blood sugar, weight loss, heart health, and skin health), coconut oil (helps absorb important nutrients), and vitamins such as vitamin D3 and vitamin K2.

Anti-inflammatory spices – Curcumin, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, garlic, cayenne pepper, black pepper, clove, paprika. You can purchase these in most local supermarkets, packaged in shakers so that they’re easy to add to food. Also, an easy way to consume these spices is through purchasing natural anti-inflammatory supplements like these curcumin, turmeric, ginger capsules.

Rife Ray machines are also known as a way to remove parasites and worms from the body with the frequencies it emits. A cancer survivor claims that this is one of five cures for cancer. They used an original Rife Ray unit and three months later, the cancer was gone and so was their arthritis. They then decided to get involved in building Rife Ray machines and get it out there to really help people. When researching, they found another man called John Sujeka who knew a lot about Rife and had all the frequencies. He showed them that they weren’t using the Hertz rates to get rid of cancer at all. The cancer left because the Hertz rates were to get rid of worms and parasites and it turned out that the lead poisoning was giving a bed for parasites to breed in furiously, and it was their waste that had given them cancer. More can be seen on this in the clip below:

This isn’t the only account that identifies cancer as an attack by a parasite that can be cured by deworming. Cancer is also described as, “an unusual parasite, which attempts to reproduce its intermediate stages in you. The cure isn’t expensive, herbs kill them all, whether it’s the eggs, or the rhedia, or the circaria, or myrcidia. These are all the stages. A wormwood combination, a ground clove, and an extract of the green hull of the black walnut tree together (like this supplement) kills everything (all parasite stages) at once, otherwise one thing turns into the next. Take this for five or six days and all the parasitic stages are gone and the cancer doesn’t continue. When you kill the parasites, all that growth factor is removed, and the cancer stops.” Ivermectin, a treatment for parasitic infections, has also been said to cure cancer and this links with the Rife Ray machine account; curing cancer through getting rid of worms and parasites.

Dr. Mark Hyman (who is also featured further down this post) also advocates that cancer is a parasite and that Ivermectin and wormwood, black walnut hull, and clove (like this supplement) cures cancer, as well as fenbendazole:

“Cancer is actually a parasite, believe it or not, and the cure costs $5. A drug designed to kill parasitic worms just helped three stage four cancer patients into complete remission and absolutely no major cancer center will run a clinical trial on it. How does a drug that kills parasites also kill cancer? At the molecular level, cancer really is a parasite.

What’s very unique about cancer and parasites is they both are rapid dividers. Like even a tapeworm, for example, can produce 50,000 eggs a day. Cancer cells divide nonstop because they basically don’t have any more breaks. It’s all accelerator and so if we take an anti-parasitic drug, fenbendazole, this is a drug that grabs onto these little tubular proteins and breaks the scaffolding down and all of these other anti-parasitic drugs, whether it’s ivermectin, natural herbs like wormwood, black walnut hull, and clove, do the same thing either directly or indirectly. So all of these anti-parasitics inhibit the fuel source for cancer. When I was looking into the ivermectin and fenbendazole, I didn’t even realize that the other herbal natural remedies that a lot of people take for parasite cleanses also do a very similar action indirectly and directly.

The question is, why haven’t you heard about this? Well, first of all, the patents expired years ago and no one’s going to spend $100 million on a $12 remedy. Most of the research is from universities in South Korea, India, and small labs. No industry funding, no conflicts of interest. There’s also quite a bit of published case studies documenting these antifungal results in stage four patients with cancer that have resistance to chemotherapy. Another interesting study in 2025, fenbendazole targets regular cancer cells and cancer stem cells. These are the seeds that survive chemo and regrow tumors. 100% survival in treated mice, zero in untreated controls.”

Linking to Dr. Hyman’s insights on this information being suppressed in Western medicine is the research of Nicolas Hulscher MPH (master of Public Health), epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation:

“The CIA knew there was evidence that taking an antiparasitic like Ivermectin could reduce tumors and they classified it (hid it). It was a Soviet study. These Soviet scientists found that both tumors and parasites and these antiparasitics exerted similar mechanisms and they found that it exerted anti-cancer activity in animals and that study was classified by the CIA in the 1950s and not declassified until 2011. So, you know, that did significantly set back some of this vital cancer research.

The single largest human study on ivermectin and membendazole in real human cancer patients found that nearly half of these cancer patients taking the ivermectin and membendazole reported either cancer disappearance or tumor regression. Then about 30% reported disease stability, so it wasn’t spreading anymore.

That’s a 84.4% clinical benefit ratio. In other words, 84.4% of those cancer patients did report to have benefited from the ivermectin and membendazole. This is absolutely huge and it corroborates all of the preclinical experimental animal evidence we’ve seen over the past 20 years or so where ivermectin and membendazole exert over 12 distinct anti-cancer mechanisms across more than 12 cancer types.

They expose rats with cancers of these. The tumors don’t grow, they shrink or they disappear, so it’s very powerful. It targets cancer stem cells, specifically ivermectin. This is the source of some of these cancers that chemo doesn’t get rid of and so that’s very promising mechanism. It also has been shown to, membendazole has been shown to disrupt what’s called microtubules in these cancer cells, so they can’t divide anymore. This is all very, very promising research.”

In addition, here are some of the strongest anti-parasitic foods and herbs you can add to your diet:

• Garlic
• Pumpkin seeds
• Papaya seeds
• Cloves
• Oregano / oregano oil
• Thyme
• Black walnut (usually tincture)
• Wormwood
• Neem
• Berberine-rich herbs (goldenseal, barberry)

These are also some strong anti-inflammatory foods and herbs that cleanse the body:

• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Onion
• Coconut (especially coconut oil)
• Raw apple cider vinegar
• Cinnamon
• Mustard seeds
• Horseradish
• Wasabi
• Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi)

Apple pectin is also beneficial as it not only heals your gut, but also removes microplastics from your body. It can be made with stewed apples or bought as a supplement like these capsules. A suggested consumption is 2 capsules (1400mg) every morning before breakfast.

Here’s an interesting take on parasites:

“Parasites look like demons/demonic. They affect your body, mood, and being like a demon possessing. Removing parasites by diet and fasting is like removing demons.”

Dr. Bryan Ardis also claims another natural cancer cure:

“All cancers have been known to be cured by pure tobacco (tobacco by itself, not in cigarettes) since the 1500’s. This was published in medical textbooks. It cures all cancers, tumors, small pox, chicken pox, and all types herpes.”

Regular sauna sessions are also known to remove toxins. Human biologist and biohacker Gary Brecka touches on how saunas do not only improve cardiovascular health, but removing the root causes of disease (including cancer):

“Take a dry towel in the sauna with you and wipe your sweat off while you’re in the sauna because if you did a sauna scrape in the dry sauna, you’d find not only water and sodium, you’d find heavy metals, glyphosate, insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides. You find all of these things coming up in your skin. You don’t want your warm pores open for that to just reabsorb. So if you’re in the sauna and you want to get the maximum amount of this out, just wipe yourself down.”

In general, going in the sauna for 15–30 minutes per session (that can be split up into smaller sessions with cold showers), around 3-5 times per week is optimal for most (review things more if you have cardiovascular conditions, low blood pressure, and/or are pregnant).

 

Dr. Mark Hyman (4 R’s) 👨‍⚕️

 

Dr. Mark Hyman created a practical framework to reduce inflammation and heal the gut that he named the ‘4 Rs’:

Remove – Bad foods (dairy, gluten, processed foods, refined sugar, also corn, and soy for a week or 2 can be more aggressive though), allergens, parasites.

Replace – Fibre – vegetables (spinach, broccoli, cucumber, asparagus, sprouts), seeds (chia, flax, hemp– here’s a good super seed mix), grains (black rice which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, red rice and quinoa), beans/legumes (chickpeas, lentils, peas, kidney beans, black beans), prebiotics (plantain, artichokes, asparagus, bananas). Note, some people advise against legumes because lectins can cause leaky gut and Dr. Hyman advised not to consume legumes or quinoa when tackling autoimmune disease, so if in doubt, leave it out! You can choose to gradually add them back into your diet to see how it affects your body if you like, but stop for at least a few weeks if testing its effects. Note that if cooked properly and eaten in moderation (i.e. not large amounts daily), lectins are reduced considerably.

Reinoculate – Probiotics (kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh).Also, this supplement has the main different probiotic strains.

Relaxation – Rest, meditation and other forms of relaxing the mind and body. The Body Keeps the Score, a book written by Bessel van der Kolk in 2014 details how trauma is stored in the body, not just the mind and if you do not release it, you have much greater probabilities of getting an illness/disease. Meditation, as well as other techniques like yoga, breathwork, and reclaiming a sense of control and connection is central to recovery.

More on this can be viewed in his video below:

Dr. Hyman like many other doctors also advocates avoiding consumption of seed oils such as canola (rapeseed), sunflower, soybean, corn, and safflower oil. He advises to consume whole, minimally processed fats like olive oil, butter (in moderation), coconut oil, avocados, nuts, and fish. He explains how seed oils are not considered outright “toxic”, but are avoided mainly because:

• They’re highly processed (chemical extraction, bleaching, deodorizing).
• They may oxidize easily.
• They’re often high in omega-6 fats, which could create an imbalance with omega-3s.

This means that they can affect the following:

1. Inflammation (system-wide)

• Seed oils (high in omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid) promote chronic inflammation by disrupting the omega-6 : omega-3 balance.
• The body uses omega-6 fats to produce inflammatory signaling molecules.
• If intake is very high and omega-3 is low, some argue this may tilt the body toward inflammation.

2. Heart health

• Seed oils may damage cardiovascular health despite lowering LDL cholesterol.
• Some critics point to older trials (like the Minnesota Coronary Experiment) suggesting lower LDL didn’t equal better outcomes.
• Others worry oxidized fats could contribute to arterial damage.

3. Oxidative stress

• Seed oils oxidize easily (especially when heated), producing harmful compounds.
• These oxidized lipids could damage cells and DNA.

4. Brain and mental health

• Excess omega-6 relative to omega-3 may affect brain function, mood, or increase risk of depression.

5. Liver health

• Seed oils may contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Dr. Human also argues that key drivers of poor health is excess sugar and refined starches, especially the combination of fat, refined carbs, and sugar. This combo is seen as particularly harmful (e.g. butter on a muffin vs. butter on vegetables). From the evolutionary perspective, humans now consume far more seed oils (e.g. massive rise in soybean oil use) and far more sugar and refined flour than historically.

 

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (F GOALS) 🥅

 

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz uses a framework to heal the gut that he called ‘F GOALS’:

F – Fruit (bananas, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, avocado – note grapes and apples have an extra high sugar/fructose content that can feed bad bacteria) & Fermented (kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh).

G – Greens & Grains (whole grains) – Spinach, broccoli, cucumber, asparagus, sprouts. Black rice (particularly rich in anthocyanins, a group of flavonoid plant pigments that have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties), red rice and quinoa. Note that quinoa is not advised if tackling autoimmune issues.

O – Omega – Chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds.(here’s a good super seed mix).

A – Aromatics – Onions, garlic, shallots.

L – Legumes (his number 1 of importance) – Chickpeas, lentils, peas, kidney beans, black beans. As mentioned, some people advise against legumes because lectins can cause leaky gut, so if in doubt, leave it out! You can choose to gradually add them back into your diet to see how it affects your body if you like, but stop for at least a few weeks if testing its effects. Note that if cooked properly and eaten in moderation (i.e. not large amounts daily), lectins are reduced considerably. Also, prebiotics such as plantain, artichokes, asparagus, bananas.Here’s a good, prebiotic/probiotic mix with multiple strains.

S – Shrooms, Seaweed, Sprouts. He says this is a less important step, but that sprouts are a superfood. Also, many advocate the health benefits of mushrooms. Paul Stamets is a renowned researcher in this field who believes certain mycelium mushrooms cure illnesses and improve physical and mental performance. For example, Lions Mane for improving memory and helping with conditions like Alzheimer’s (he recommends 1,000-3,000mg daily of lion’s mane extract containing 10-20% polysaccharides which is the active ingredient) and Reishi and Turkey Tail mushrooms for their anti-cancerous properties. All of the main mushrooms can be easily consumed with these super mushroom capsules.

Autoimmune Exceptions ☝️

 

As you may have noticed from some of the sidenotes above, not all of these foods are advised for autoimmune disease. For example, legumes, grains (including quinoa, but black rice is an exception with its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties), and even seeds are debated on whether they should be consumed (if in doubt, leave them out!). In summary, the autoimmune diet/Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet is similar to the paleo diet, just slightly stricter. Like the paleo diet it recommends only eating vegetables, fruit, meat, and healthy fats, but is more particular with what foods that you should consume within these categories.

See autoimmune protocol diet foods below, followed by Dr. Jin W. Sung‘s paleo diet protocol:

 

Dr. Kyle Loveless details ways to alleviate the autoimmune response of the autoimmune condition psoriasis with reference to leaky gut in the video below. This includes how leaky gut is when there are gaps in the intestinal lining that let unwanted substances (toxins, food particles, microbes) enter the bloodstream. This triggers an immune response. Repeated exposure leads to an overactive immune system, which can lead to autoimmune conditions like psoriasis (especially if you’re genetically prone).

Causes of Leaky Gut:

• Diet
  • Gluten (highlighted as a major trigger)
  • Sugar, processed/inflammatory foods
  • Poor-quality fats and meats
• Lifestyle & environment
  • Toxins (cleaning products, air, etc.)
  • Medications (e.g., acid blockers, birth control)
  • Infections (e.g. viruses like mono)

Why Typical Treatments Aren’t Enough:

• Steroids/drugs may reduce symptoms but:
  
  • Suppress the immune system
  • Don’t fix the root cause
  • Psoriasis will likely return unless underlying issues are addressed

Dr. Kyle Loveless’s suggested Approach to Healing:

1. Reduce stress on the gut (most important step)

• Remove trigger foods
• Identify food sensitivities (e.g. IgG testing)

2. Support gut healing

• Herbs: chamomile (supports gut lining)
• Anti-inflammatories like turmeric (taken raw is preferred or in supplement form like these curcumin, turmeric, ginger capsules)
• Digestive enzymes (help break down food)

3. Strengthen the immune system

• Vitamin D3, with a high doses suggested (like these high strength vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 capsules, the K2 helping to absorb the D3)
• Vitamin B1 (like these vitamin B1 capsules)
• Vitamin C (like these vitamin C capsules with added rosehips and bioflavonoids for absorption)
• Rehmannia, a herb for calming immune response (like these concentrated rehmannia drops)

Psoriasis is seen as a symptom of internal imbalance, not just a skin issue. Fixing gut health and removing stressors is presented as essential for long-term improvement. Supplements can help, but lifestyle and diet changes are the foundation.

 

Another factor that people consider is opting to avoid high FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) foods. This narrows down the choice of foods further. Whether you want to consider this too depends on how strict you want to be. If you want to be really strict and systematically remove all potential triggers of autoimmune disease, it’s best to avoid these as well. After doing so for 30-90 days, you could gradually reintroduce other foods to gauge how your body reacts to them. Here is a list of high and low FODMAP foods to avoid and eat:

 

 

Dave Asprey (Fasting & the ‘Bulletproof Diet’) 🥗

 

Fasting has multiple benefits for curing illness and disease, as well as many other health benefits. Japanese biologist Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for the discovery that when the human body is deprived of food, it activates a process called autophagy, a self-cleaning system where cells break down and recycle their own damaged parts for survival. This is how your body repairs itself, fights aging, clears out toxins, and prevents diseases like cancer, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. ‘Starve, survive, self-clean.’ By placing yeast cells under a microscope during starvation, Dr. Ohsumi tracked how they began consuming their own waste to survive. He then proved this happens in all living organisms, including humans. His breakthrough helped explain why fasting and intermittent calorie restriction show powerful health benefits. We’re designed to clean, heal, and evolve when challenged.

Some people are afraid of losing muscle if they fast, which is only partly true, as when you fast your body wants to preserve lean muscle tissue. Imagine you are an ancient ancestor hunting or foraging for food; your body doesn’t wanna lose lean muscle, so it increases human growth hormone to preserve it (up to 2000% in some studies within 24 to 48 hours). It also increases clarity and focus with your brain; you have to be smart to hunt and forager. As such, you have less brain fog when you fast and more stable energy because your body is not constantly digesting food. Your body increases autophagy, clearing out damaged old cells and creates new ones.

Dave Asprey often speaks about the power of intermittent fasting and opts for a common go to of a 16/8 fast where you fast for 16 hours and can eat within the 8 hour period. Asprey also says he might give himself a couple of days off fasting over the weekend for example, which falls into a 5/2 ratio of days where he intermittent fasts. If weight training (muscle/body building), you should be eating 0.7-1g of protein per lb of body weight (1.6-2.2 g/kg). As such, intermittent fasting less often can help make sure your body has enough protein and calories to recover and reduce fatigue. For example, 3-5 times a week or even less in some cases depending on how much weight you want to put on (if bulking less than this). 

The benefits of fasting include that your body will go to its fat stores for energy which is more efficient and gets rid of the most unwanted fats first, releasing fatty acids called ketones into the bloodstream. This has been shown to protect memory and learning functionality, as well as slowing and starving disease and making your body more lean. More advantages can be viewed in the video below:

 

Note that for healing autoimmune diseases and leaky gut, longer water fasts (just drinking water) of around 72 hours can give the body enough time to reset from food-autoimmune triggers and/or food-gut triggers. Some great results have been documented from this. After doing a 72 hour fast, you can test different foods and see if you get an autoimmune response and/or gut response. It is likely that you will either have none or a much smaller response. You can also test different foods after doing a longer fast to see which ones your body can now process efficiently and which ones you genuinely have an intolerance to.

Dr. David A. Sinclair, A.O., Ph.D. (a tenured Professor in the Department of Genetics at the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard) is also a big advocator in fasting. He has found from his research that can add 10 years to your lifespan, as well as all the other physical and mental benefits. He just eats one large, balanced meal a day or alternatively suggests to eat within a 2 hour window a day. This can vary for people, for example if lifting heavy weights on certain days, your body may need more protein and calories and in turn meals, but still with fasting most days. He touches on fasting in the video below:

When fasting, Dave Asprey likes to ensure that the body gets all the electrolytes minerals it needs. Significant electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonates. You can get most of these by mixing a teaspoon of pink Himalayan rock salt with water in the morning. This is often called Sole water. Note this won’t break your fast, as no sugar, carbs or proteins are ingested.

Himalayan pink salt has up to 84 other minerals and trace elements. Also, Irish sea moss has 92 of the beneficial 102 minerals and was highly recommended by healing with diet guru Dr. Sebi. You can get other key vitamins from eating a mix of key greens and seeds or using a ‘supergreen powder and multi-seed powder‘ that includes minerals such as B6 and B12. You can get vitamin A from fish or certain cod liver oil tablets. Andrew Huberman supplements high quality cod liver oil daily for improved mental function. Also, both Dave Asprey and Andrew Huberman suggest getting 20 minutes of sunlight a day and if you can’t get that, to supplement a strong vitamin D3 supplement (a stronger dose like 10,000IU) with Vitamin K2 (around 200mcg to help absorb the Vitamin D3). TUDCA bile salts are also effective at aiding the absorption of vitamin d.

Dave Asprey also has a diet he suggests for overall health that he calls ‘The Bulletproof Diet and Roadmap’. Note that this isn’t specifically for leaky gut or autoimmune diseases, so things like citrus fruits (such as lemons, limes, and tangerines) and white rice are not advised for autoimmune issues, but it is an easy to digest (no pun intended!) breakdown/chart for overall diet.

His most favorable/‘Bulletproof’ (underlined) and favorable/‘Mostly Bulletproof’ (not underlined) foods include:

You can view his full ‘The Bulletproof Diet and Roadmap’ here and more on his website here.

Again there are many food experts like Dr. Hyman, Dr. Bulsiewicz, Dr. Jin W. Sung and Dave Asprey agree on, but also some where they differ. Depending on your situation (e.g. just leaky gut, autoimmune, general health etc.) is usually best to stick with the foods that are generally advised as a whole for a foundation. Then, for some of the foods that some suggest (and others don’t) could be gradually included in your diet to see what effect it has on your body.

Also, many people ask if air fryers are good for you/healthy. Dave Asprey doesn’t mention them in his diet roadmap, but you can see is his opinion of them quoted below which falls inline with the general consensus that air frying is a healthier alternative to deep fried foods, but oven-baking often preserves good nutrients while filtering out the bad ones, making oven baked foods even healthier than most air-fried foods.

“Air fryers are interesting. They are unquestionably better than deep frying, even if you deep fry using quality coconut oil, which is more stable than omega 6 seed oils. Your goal in cooking should be to make nutrients more available, break down toxins, and make things taste good. That means the cooking methods that add toxins, like deep frying and charring, are at the bottom of the list. There are two concerns about air fryers, though.

1. Fats oxidize primarily from heat, air, and light. When you use high heat and high airflow, you will increase oxidation. That’s bad. If you use some kind of spray garbage oil or canola oil before you air fry, it’s bad news. If you use saturated fat like butter or ghee, it’s probably fine. Those are stable oils.

2. High temperatures, especially on protein with carbs, form AGE. The chemical name for this is Advanced Glycation End product, and it is something that gums up the detox mechanisms inside your cells called lysosomes. I wrote about this in my anti-aging book Super Human.

So, where does this put air frying? If steaming or poaching is a 10 out of 10 for safety, air frying is probably around a 6.5 or 7 (if you don’t use bad oils and you don’t overcook the food). If you think I am paying too much attention to this, look again! There is a very big difference between a steamed brussels sprout with added butter and a deep-fried blackened brussels sprout. They actually do different things to your gut bacteria and the cells in your body.”

Dr. Sebi, Simon Mills, & Sadhguru 🌿

 

Dr. Sebi is one of the most renowned people for healing with diet and fasting. He was found innocent of his claims of healing people of cancer and HIV by the state of New York and the supreme court, as well as many other diseases. He would only eat organic, non-meat foods for an alkaline diet and is famous for saying, “If nature didn’t make it, don’t take it!” We have a whole article dedicated to him here.

This perspective sums up the logic of choosing organic over non-organic foods (and without even touching on additives and GMO):

“We spray crops with poison to stop other creatures eating them, so we can eat them ourselves!”

Note that Dr. Sebi highly recommended Irish sea moss which has has 92 of the beneficial 102 minerals and also bathing with sea salt to get more electrolytes in your system through the skin (especially good for the skin).

Herbalist Simon Mills also discusses how many plants and “simple” foods have medicinal properties that have been sidelined in modern pharmacy-medicine systems. He argues that our gut microbiome, diet, lifestyle and plant-based remedies play a big role in health and that over-reliance on pharmaceuticals (especially things like antibiotics or acid-suppressants) has downsides. He introduces a set of natural medicines and explains how they can support long-term brain health, circulation, immune resilience, digestion and inflammation.
He emphasises:

• The importance of the microbiome (trillions of bacteria in the gut) and how plant compounds feed and modulate it.
• That inflammation is not always the enemy, it’s a defence mechanism, but when chronic, it’s problematic.
• That many modern medications (like antibiotics, proton-pump inhibitors) can undermine these natural systems.

Here are the five natural medicines (or medicinal foods) he highlights, with a bit about each:

• Dark Chocolate (75%+ cocoa)
  He calls dark chocolate “one of the best medicines around” for long-term brain and cardiovascular health.
  It supports blood flow and circulation.
  Suggested dose in the summary source: ~50–100 g daily (note: this is from a summariser, not necessarily Mills’ formal recommendation).
• Garlic
  Historic use as a “natural antibiotic” or for microbial support (“Russian penicillin”) according to Mills.
  Raw garlic supports gut microbiome and has broad-spectrum antimicrobial potential (in folk/traditional use).
• Rosemary
  Rosemary is an aromatic herb; Mills mentions a clinical trial showing that the smell of rosemary could support cognitive/brain health.
  He suggests simply pressing and sniffing rosemary oil/extracts can have benefits.
• Turmeric/Curcumin (taken raw is preferred or in supplement form like these curcumin, turmeric, ginger capsules)
  Highlighted for its anti-inflammatory properties and its modulation of the gut and vascular/brain health.
  He emphasises that curcumin works via the microbiome (gut bacteria metabolising it) rather than just direct absorption.
• Green Tea (and Matcha)
  Green tea is rich in polyphenols; linked with brain health (lower risk of cognitive decline/Alzheimer’s) and cardiovascular/metabolic support.
  He positions this as a “daily medicine” rather than a one-off.

More on this can be viewed in his interview on ‘Diary of a CEO’ with Steven Bartlett below:

Here is another interesting insight into natural foods to consume for the blood:

“If you had a heart attack today or had stroke level high blood pressure and you called an ambulance, they’re going to inject you with saline. Saline is 9,000 milligrams of salt in a bag of water. If you have extremely high blood pressure at stroke levels, the saline lowers blood pressure. Your kidneys are what release water out of the body. The media and doctors say to eat less salt/a low sodium diet. As such, our kidneys don’t get the salt they need and we will start retaining water. And as we retain water, there’s now increased pressure on our blood vessels. The majority of Americans are given diuretics like Lasix to make you pee. Lasix is patented salt. They want you to swallow their prescription salt in a tablet form.”

Sadhguru also discusses foods that have positive and negative influences on the body in the videos below. This includes:

1. Food, Energy & Focus 

Food is fuel for the body, not religion or culture. The goal is to eat in a way that gives maximum energy and minimum internal strain

Different lifestyles require different diets, but for students:

• You need balanced, steady energy (not sluggish or hyper).
• Poor eating habits create inertia (sluggishness) → leads to:
  
  • Low focus
  • Sleepiness
  • Difficulty studying

It’s not that students lack focus, it’s that the mind is not engaged and the body is low-energy or dull,

2. How to Eat Properly

Digestion should start in the mouth, so chew thoroughly (30–50% digestion happens there).
Modern eating habits cause heaviness and fatigue:

• Too fast
• Too processed
• Too much food

Instead, eat:

• 40–50% raw foods:
• Fruits, vegetables, nuts, sprouts (“live foods”)
• Simple foods (easier for the body to process)
• Less overly complex foods (especially heavy animal foods)

3. Sleep & Energy

• Excess food leads to more digestion, which leads to more inertia, which leads to more sleep needed.
• If you eat properly and maintain good posture, your sleep need can naturally decrease
• It’s not about forcing less sleep, but improving efficiency so the body needs less sleep.

4. Meal Timing & Fasting

Leave 8 hours or more between meals; avoid constant eating/snacking for:

• Improved digestion
• Better energy
• Reduced health issues

An empty stomach does not mean weakness; body and brain function better when not constantly digesting.

5. Overeating & Health

Many people eat more than necessary which leads to a sluggish body and health problems

An efficient body is like a fuel-efficient/well-oiled machine; it needs less food and performs better.

6. “Mucusless Diet” Segment

This section promotes a 21-day detox-style diet with strong claims.

Disease is caused by:

• Mucus buildup
• Toxins in the body

Healing requires:

• Cleansing the system
• Resting digestive organs

Diet rules:

• Eliminate many foods – no dairy, grains, sugars, processed foods etc.
• Consume – Mostly green juices, herbs, and fruits with lots of fluids and teas

Additional practices:

• Epsom salt cleanses
• Enemas
• Juice fasting

Claimed effects:

• Detox symptoms – headaches, hunger, rashes early on
• Later symptoms – increased energy, reduced hunger, improvement in conditions (blood pressure, diabetes etc.)

7. “Mucusless diet cures diseases”

Detox methods (enemas, strict elimination diets) prevent disease and reduce sleep required.

In summary:

• Eat less, but better
• Avoid overprocessing and overeating
• Give the body time to digest (fasting gaps)
• Food quality affects energy, focus, and sleep
