● Cognitive function: Enhanced mental clarity and
concentration
● Sleep quality: More restful sleep with fewer disruptions
● Skin conditions: Clearing of unexplained rashes, eczema
● Immune function: Reduced frequency of infections
● Nutritional status: Improved absorption and utilization of
nutrients
A clinical survey of 658 patients completing parasitic protocols
found that 76% reported resolution or significant improvement in
presenting symptoms [43].
Outcomes in Previously Asymptomatic Individuals
Interestingly, individuals without obvious pre-treatment symptoms
may still experience benefits after addressing parasitic presence:
● Subtle energy improvements: Reports of "feeling better than I
knew I could feel"
● Mild cognitive enhancements: Greater mental clarity and
focus
● Improved stress resilience: Better adaptation to life stressors
● Enhanced digestive function: More complete digestion with
less post-meal heaviness
● Laboratory improvements: Normalization of previously
subclinical markers
● Unexpected benefits: Resolution of vague, long-standing
complaints not initially connected to parasites
A 2019 study published in the Journal of Functional Biomechanics
found that even asymptomatic individuals with confirmed
parasitic presence showed improvements in measurable
