What are the odds that we aren't depressed or hungry? We just have parasites. Huge. 95% of us. And they can control your mind. You can have them and not even know it. What is this stuff that I hear about putting tape on your butthole? Oh my God.

Does this work? Gosh, tape's going to be going viral. Could parasites be causing health issues for you or your children and you don't even realize it? Today we're delving into the fascinating world of parasites with Kim Rogers, affectionately known on social media, as the worm, Queen, not to be confused with me, of course. With over 18 years in Western medicine, Kim's personal health challenges, including endometriosis, Lyme disease, and mold poisoning, led her to explore holistic healing. In 2021, she founded Rogers Hood Apothecary and introduced the Parify

Parasite Cleanse Kit, which gained viral attention on social media. Today, Kim empowers individuals to take control of their health by addressing the often overlooked issue of parasites.

What are the odds that we aren't depressed or hungry? We just have parasites. Huge. Huge odds. Because we really do have parasites. At least 95% of us have parasites and they can control your mind, make you feel unworthy and unhappy. They control your mind? Because what? Are they wiggling up there and eating your brain or what happens? Well, they can hijack our nervous system and they can hijack our lymphatic system, which we need in order for us to feel good about ourselves. They can also hijack our small intestines, which is where that feeling of worthiness comes from. So they can get into our bodies and really do some damage. Okay, that's interesting. I didn't know that about the small intestines and worthiness because anytime that I get acupuncture, that area flares up for me.

Yes. You can have them and not even know it. They can live in you for decades and you wouldn't even know it until maybe you had a life-altering event or something happened to you where your stress level went high, and then they're activated. Everybody calls you the worm queen. Funny because they call me that too, but for a different reason. Because you're this parasite expert. How did you become such an expert in parasites?

Like, what happened to you? Well, I got really ill with parasites. But I do come from Western medicine. I have two health care degrees, and I ran 25 health care colleges. I worked in the emergency room, urgent care, and I just never really thought this was a thing either in life. Then in 2019, I got really ill and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. The doctors couldn't figure out.

And I had had 13 surgeries in a hysterectomy. And they still said there wasn't much left for me and that I needed to just kind of accept my life the way it was. So in 2019, my husband and I went out to our recreational property to build a log home ourselves. and I started to do mushrooms and meditate and just really try and focus on my health, figure out why I was so ill. And around a year and a half in is when I figured out that I actually had cryptospritium parvium and roundworm plus flukes because I ate a lot of sushi. So that was, you know, now I know that sushi and salmon are a huge reason.

But our water was also contaminated with nematodes. and I didn't know it. Like your tap water? Yes. Okay. So then you started doing parasite cleanses? Right. In July of 2021, I did a random, you can get it on Amazon, parasite cleanse.

And that's when I saw roundworm and flukes in the toilet. And I did a video on TikTok and went really viral. Okay. And so when those came out of you, how quickly did you start noticing symptoms alleviate? Three days. In three days. And you've been dealing with this for, For how long?

20 years. You're joking. No. Why do you think so many people harbor parasites? I think that because we don't cleanse in this country, we don't cleanse in Western medicine countries. And that's really important for us to actually go in and get rid of them. And it might not get rid of them completely, but it will put them at bay for a while,

and then you do it again. And then the symptoms alleviate. And then you do it again. Other countries do this. We just don't. Mexico does it. a few times a year and sometimes it's mandatory in sports. They actually will take a synthetic pill that they can get at the pharmacy for like seven bucks. Jamaica does it with an herb called

the bush and Korea does it. Guatemala does it. They just know that this is an issue in life. And so they just arm their people with the information. We just don't. How are parasites entering our bodies? You can enter through water, which you absorb. up to two cups of water every 15 minutes and everything in the water. You can absorb them by brushing your teeth. Salmon, sushi, undercooked pork. RFK Jr. had a tapeworm in his brain. That's right.

He's the worm king. Yeah. He's the worm king. I forgot about that. Ooh. So, yeah. So what is the deal with that? What is it that he had?

Neurosister sarcoma, which is a tape. form of the brain from undercooked pork. The body of it is still in his brain, but the symptoms are surpassed, but it did eat some of his brain, he said. That's so freaky. Many people experience symptoms like bloating, fatigue, skin issues. How can those be linked to parasites and why are they usually overlooked? They're overlooked because this is a taboo subject. It's denied. And it's crazy that it's so denied. And it can cause those things because your body is telling you. It's you, something is going on. So if you're drinking water and you become bloated, it's literally in there like bloating you out. It just doesn't even know what else to do to process what's going on

in your body to push it out. So common symptoms in adults, you might have a parasite if you have these issues. Grinding your teeth at night, drooling at night, craving salt and sugar, especially after 7 p.m. because they're nocturnal. So around 7 is when they wake up. So insomnia. And usually feeling unworthy of yourself, a lot of anxiety, a lot of mental health issues could be from a parasite. I do crave salt a lot. So what could that be telling me? I crave salt more than sugar. Me too. I never crave sugar. And I would say I've been doing this for four years and it probably was the last three years I just figured out that's or the last three months. I figured out that it was a salt craving because I'm like, man, I don't crave any sugar, but I crave salt like no one's business and it's my parasite that wants it.

How can parasites influence mood disorders or cognitive function? Well, they hijack our nervous system. Okay. So they get in there and they're causing you to have a different frequency and a different vibration. So they have their own. They're alive and they're in our bodies. and parasites are controlling and mold is brainwashing because they're alive in our bodies.

So they can go in and they can hold on to trauma. They can hold on to memories. And when you start to go in and eat something like an antiparasitic food, right? Like pineapple or pumpkin seed. They're dumping all of what's in their body in you as well as that memory or the trauma feel. I didn't know there was such a thing as anti-parasetic. foods. Yes. Anti-parasitic foods are things like papaya, pumpkin seed, pineapple. They go in and disrupt them. And then while they're being like kind of unalived, they're dumping everything while they're being unaligned. And they're laying eggs. Okay. So are you never eating sushi again? No. No, I'm never eating sushi again. And it's so unfortunate because we used to eat it two or three times a week. And we would eat salmon. I can meet. I can make a mean salmon barbecue.

Like, but I can't do it after seeing everything that I post. You talked about how they can live in your lymphatic system. Yes. So if you're somebody who struggles with not sweating often, is that like a sign that stuff is going on? Like, are you not flushing things out? Could that be why parasites are trapped in you if you're not properly sweating or like doing sauna or working out? Correct. I say to do the three peas, make sure you're peeing, pooping, and perspiring.

And things like castoril can help with that because it kind of breaks. down whatever toxins are causing you to not be able to sweat or go poop or pee consistently. So there's quite a few things other than just the Parify parasite cleanse. We actually are launching a lymph kit this Thursday, May 15th, that help you move your lymphatic system so that you have a better cleanse. That is one thing that a lot of people will stop doing a parasite cleanse because their lymphatic system is not moving. And it's so important to make sure you're doing those three peas.

Did you know that McDonald's fries used to be cooked in beef tallow? Just potatoes, beef fat, and salt. That's it. And they were iconic. But in 1990, they sold out to the seed oil lobby. And that's when things got weird with fries. Suddenly, we've got 19 ingredients in a single French fry. 19!

You're not eating food. You're eating a science experiment. But what if you want to taste what fries used to be like? crispy, golden, cooked the way nature intended, then you need to try Jesse and Benz. These guys are real restaurant pros who said, no thanks to seed oils and brought back real deal fries. Their tallow and sea salt fries of just three ingredients. Non-GMO, russ of potatoes, 100% grass-fed beef tallow and sea salt. That's it.

And they taste phenomenal. These are frozen fries like you've never had them before. They're so good. You're not even going to worry about the rest of the stuff on your play. You're just going to want to keep eating those. They even have avocado oil fries. That's more of your vibe. And now they've got a sweet potato fry cooked in beef tallow that's just launched.

You're welcome. Even better, they're now available nationwide at Sprout stores and select Whole Foods locations. So next time you're in the frozen aisle, skip the seed oil sludge and grab Jesse and Ben's. If you need to find out if it's in a grocery store near you, go to Jesseandbens.com. See where they're located. That's jessie and bends.com. This is what fries were always meant to be. Mom, I fru up.

That was my dog Mochi to me. morning as I'm literally walking out the door. Nothing little branch basics can't fix. When I became more serious about creating a healthy home, cleaning supplies were the last thing I thought to change until I found out how much damage those conventional sprays and wipes were doing. The synthetic chemicals, the fake clean scents, they were polluting my air and irritating my skin. That's why I switched to branch basics. It's not just non-toxic. It's truly safe, even for babies and pets. The concentrate is fragrance-free, super effective, and simplifies everything. I now use this one product to clean my counters, soak produce, wipe down

patio furniture, run laundry, even clean up some dog spit up. It's that versatile, and it works. I love that it's made with organic, biodegradable ingredients. It gives me peace of mind every time I clean. Use code Alex15 at branchbasics.com for 15% off your first starter kit. That's branch basics.com, code Alex 15 for 15% off Branch Basics.

Usually I see a lot of children that have black circles under their eyes. That's a big one. Skin issues huge. Like eczema? Yes. Exema could be a parasite? Yes. Because it comes from the gut. Your gut is your brain. It also dictates your health. Okay. So a lot of people that can get in there and get a lot of things cleaned out. Parify is not just parasites. It's candida and heavy metals. So heavy metals weight things down. They weight the toxins down, these environmental toxins that we all are absorbing and that I personally think are making us have autoimmune diseases because we're exposed to them so often that they just kind of linger in our bodies. So you really need to go in and find a way, which is what I did with the parify kit, to

flush all of those out. What is this stuff that I hear about putting tape on your butthole? Oh my gosh. Does this work? Should we be doing that? No, scotch tape's going viral. Yes. That works? Yes. At nighttime, the female pinworm comes out and lays the eggs and then goes back in. And so what happens is that piece of tape ends up catching the eggs. So when you take it off of your bum at night or your child in the morning, there should be little white things. And if there's little white things, then they have pinworms. Pinworms are the same thing as threadworms. And thread worms can get into our bodies, including our heart and our lungs, causing us to be short of breath, having chest pains, not really feeling like yourself. And those

also reside in like the appendix and in the small intestine. You tell people that we need to be regularly parasite cleansing. Correct. How often is regularly? Three to four times a year. So seasonally, every three months. Do you need to know for a fact that you have parasites before you do a parasite cleanse? No. You probably have parasites.

If you walk barefoot, if you have a pet, because the pets are the number one way, in my opinion, of how you get a parasite. And so we deworm our animals. Why aren't we deworming ourselves? Okay, but here's my question, because I did a gut microbiome test. It said I did not have any parasites. At that time. So you're saying, because I did that a year ago, I might have them now. But you don't recommend go get a gut microbiome test first because what happens if you don't have any and you do a parasite cleanse?

Like, does that destroy good bacteria in your body? Not with parify. Okay. Other kits or other companies, yes. That's why I developed the way I developed the kit. Okay. Specifically because Jeremy and I just wreaked havoc on our bodies. We didn't bind.

we didn't know heavy metals were being dumped. We didn't know viruses were being dumped into our body because they hold on to those. And they are evaders. They're going to go in and they're going to do everything they can to not be detected. So you may have one test that says negative and a week later you could have done something to disrupt them and that test came back positive then. But you wouldn't know it because we're not testing consecutively. We don't have good testing. in our country for some crazy reason we do not have good testing and that is something that I am looking at you know trying to change why don't we have available affordable accurate testing?

Or parasites. Parasites mold any of these environmental toxins that we're constantly fighting off because we're humans and we are the best hosts. So why don't we have good testing? right like if you're even thinking you might have that you should be able to go in a few times a year and get tested and be able to feel like that was a good test my tests that i had done to find out i'd cryptospritium parvium which is parvo which kills puppies i had that from our water in the hoodsport washington area and my stool i did lab corps and then i scooped the same stool and i did it with an independent company called parricides org, the stool went to LabCore tested negative. My stool went to Arizona and then Mexico and I tested positive and I found out that Jeremy and I had roundworm and I had crypto and he had defragilees. Why did the LabCore test say negative? I have no idea. That's scary. It is. Because a lot of people use that. I mean, I've used them before. For sure. What is the difference between a

colonic and a parasite cleanse? A colonic is where they put a tube up your rear and like pressure washes. But that doesn't work the same? No, it does. It does. But it's not a main cleanse. Are parasites coming out in a colonic? They can, yes. Okay. Is that those long, like tapy things that you see, like in the TikToks? Yes. Okay. Okay. Okay. Interesting.

But see, it's not going into your cells. It's not going into your blood and parasites are in our blood, our tissue, and our muscle. And they can go deep down and stay for an extended period of time. They have a biofilm that covers them. And with that biofilm, it really is an enter unless it breaks. So when you're doing a parasite cleanse, you have to go in and break that biofilm to expose them. Once they're exposed, they come out of where they're at. And then you come in with other herbs and you unalive them. That's really the way a parasite cleanse should be.

And then while that's happening, you bind them. And that was what I did not know when I first did these cleanses is you have to do these stages. And that's why I have dedicated my life to doing herbal cleansing and showing people and actually created a business over this. But a colonic is just a really great way to help with any die-offs, to get that pathway open. It goes up into the liver and it supports the liver. You should never do any cleansing without support. And that includes herbs.

Like we put dandelion root to support the liver. Doing colonics before, during after a parify cleanse is amazing because you're supporting your body. Your body's going through a detox. It's going through something new. It's never done this before. So the more you can support it, the better it's going to be. So coffee enemas, red light, doing things like I do hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy, sauna, getting out and moving, vibration plate. All of these things are just going to add you with a better cleanse. What do you think about castor oil packs? Oh, I love castor oil, but I definitely think that castro oil with red light sitting there and then putting the pack on is the best. Why? Why? Well, red light pushes the

castor oil even deeper into your body. So the castro oil with the red light, the red light is the driver. You really need to have herbs or modalities that drive deeper. So when you put the castor oil on, it goes just a little bit and then you put that red light and it pushes it up to 10 times deeper. What is happening in a parasite cleanse? Like, how do you do it? Like, is it pills? Is it a drink? Parify is three tinctures and a binder.

So you take all three tinctures at once. You can put them in water. I like taking them directly because it tastes good to me and it's earthy and I like to feel the heel. Okay. That's an interesting way to put it because I usually think these tinctures taste like ass. Oh, it probably does to most people. You're just unique. Yeah.

Okay. So how often? And like how long does the parasite cleanse go on for? Like how often you have to drink this stuff? So it's three times a day and it's for 30 days. I chose 30 days because I think beyond 30 days from just working in Western medicine and seeing how society we've been somewhat indoctrinated that the longer it takes the, you know, the harder it is. So I really wanted to make it super easy. They go in, you take it for 30 days, three times a day. You bind at night. What does that mean bind at night? So a binder is ours is called synobin and it's coconut activated charcoal and Ceylon cinnamon.

Charcoal is a negative herb and toxins are a positive. So it's a magnet. So it'll magnet what is coming out of your body and help you pull it out. So it's not reabsorbing back into your blood, your tissue and your muscle. Okay. Interesting. That sounds like a really important step that a lot of people probably do forget. They always forget it.

And it can bind you up at night or. during the day or it can make you not go to the bathroom. So then there's alternatives like I do like cell core. They have a really good folvic biotoxin binder. You can take any time if I can't take cinnamon because it binds me up sometimes. Charcoal does that to people. Now you talked about every three to four months for adults to do a cleanse. Is it the same timeline for kids? Or is that too often? Nope. You can do it three to four times a year or if you have symptoms or if you're traveling. So we're traveling this last few weeks. It's been crazy. I have an oh, eat in the best, so I'll actually take it as a dietary supplement. I'll take it prior to eating

questionably. The binder? All of it. Okay. I'll do my whole kit right before I eat questionably. A lot of times parents notice things like their kid having an itchy bottom. Can that be a sign of a parasite? That is a sign of a parasite. So it's not just that they're not wiping well. Correct. Because I think that's what a lot of people think. Right. They think, oh, I didn't wipe well. But even if you are wiping well, it's still such an easy way. It's such a, it's so easy. It's so easy. It's so, it's so easy. to catch these things, especially if you have pets. Your child is outside digging in dirt, putting their hands in their mouth. And that's how a pinworm infestation starts is they're in the dirt. They put their hands in their mouth. And then it literally starts to form the eggs down,

down the throat. And then it comes out and it fertilizes in the bum. And then it comes back up. They itch their butt. And then they start the cycle all over again. How can you tell the difference, though, between like normal childhood behavior and a parasitic infection. It's just difficult to do that for sure to tell the difference. It is. So it really relies on the parent knowing your kid, knowing this is not normal for them. Right. This isn't a normal tantrum. But it's not going to hurt you to parasite cleanse your child and to get this in the habit of doing this with them. You know the Think Dirty app, right? It ranks how clean and safe your personal care products are. Well, active skin repair didn't just make the cut. It was featured in the

A lot of children take this because we are one of the few that it's acceptable for children. And it's a tincture, right? So you can do five drops, you could do 10 drops, you could do it once a day. It really is what's going to fit your lifestyle best for your child. And then if they can't take a pill, you can open up our binder because they're just capsules. And it tastes like cinnamon. I use cinnamon as one of the parts of the binder. There you go.

So you stick it in applesauce, mix it around. They take it and they have no idea that they're literally binding toxins and helping them get them out. This sounds made up. But the moon is doing things to the worms and the. the parasites in our body. What is going on within us when there is a full moon? So your serotonin is running higher with a full moon and they eat serotonin. And that's your happy hormone. It also helps regulate you from feeling out of control and crazy. So they start to dislodge themselves three days prior to the full moon. They move around your body in order to create new communities

of their own dropping eggs, but they're also on the serotonin river. So they're just literally able to kind of just flow wherever they want. They've got a lazy river in there. They do. Oh my gosh. They totally do. They're all chilling on a raft. So gross. So during a full moon, if you're like, I just don't know, I just don't know if I want to commit to a parasite cleanse, but during a full moon, what are the things you should be watching out for? Like, okay, this is your body telling you. You do have parasites. Are you in a flare? And do you feel crazy and are things out of control? What does that mean feel crazy? Like, do you just don't feel yourself? Because they literally can

hijack your mind. Do you know about toxoplasmosis? No. It's the cat parasite. You know, when you're pregnant, they say don't scoop cat poop. So you think, oh, okay, I'm not going to scoop cat poop while I'm pregnant, but anybody can get toxoplasmosis. In fact, they say that 60 million Americans have, have toxoplasmosis at one point, for sure, 50% of France had it. So basically it's where a mouse is infected with toxo and it's sexually attracted to a cat's urine and it heads over to the cat, right, because they're not supposed to like each other. This is a strange only fan. So once the cat cuddles up with the mouse, then the mouse gets eaten by the cat. because the next stage of toxoplasmosis Gandhi is in the cat's gut.

But what toxo did to the mind of that mouse was control it. Okay. So the cat eats it and then goes poop and then you scoop it and it's airborne. So, and it's also microscopic. So then you can get it. They say 60 million Americans have it. It stops the inhibition of fear and you wanting to have like sexual partners. So they did some testing on people that were on crotch rockets that died, and 100% of them had toxoplasmosis.

You're talking about the motorcycle? Yes. I don't understand that. It just doesn't make you have any fear. They actually go down to Mexico and get toxo fighters do in order to not be afraid to, you know, fight. Holy smokes. Is this stuff about full moons and parasites actually backed by science? Yeah, because our bodies create more serotonin during the full moon.

and they eat serotonin. Are there misconceptions about parasite cleansing that you think people need to know? Yeah, I think they need to know that it's not going to hurt you, that this is a gentle, effective way to help remove things like candida. We all have candida. It's just an overgrowth of yeast and it controls you to think you need more sugar so that it can keep surviving. So those type of things that we have, heavy metals, candida, parasites, worms, they are different.

Parasites and worms are two different things. But all of these things need to have and them flushed out at some point, right? We can't just keep accumulating them and continue to have autoimmune diseases, which not all root causes are parasites, but a lot of root causes are parasites, heavy metal, and Candida. So you feel like you were told to get a hysterectomy and all of these extreme health procedures when now looking back, you're like, I think I could have just done a parasite cleanse. I think it's more than just I could have done a parasite cleanse. I know now that I have chronic

lime. I have mold in my body and I had parasites. But I have been able to get a hold of that by doing cleansing and other modalities. And if I would have been given that information, especially at the time at age 29, I was very much into my health. I was snowboarder. I roller derbyed. I would have stepped up and said, okay, what do I need to do? If I would have been given this information, I would have not been where I'm at right now, 13 surgeries later with a hysterectomy and being told, this is how you have to live the rest of your life. Are there any ways that we need to be supporting the body during or after a parasite cleanse? Yes. You want to make sure that you do your best to eat as clean as possible while you're cleansing and doing supportive herbs, like dandelion root and

omegas to really make sure that you're getting everything flowing in your body. You want to make sure you're moving your body. So vibration plate, basically everything that I talk about on all of my accounts, I literally do those at least two to three times a week and rotate things. So supporting your body is going to be the best when it comes to going through a detox because that's what we're doing. We're detoxing something that we think is normal. And this isn't normal. And this isn't normal. for us. We're in an epidemic of chronically ill people, and I'm one of them, and I just got tired of it. I just didn't want to do this anymore. What's one of the most shocking things that you've learned somebody has experienced during a parasite cleanse? Like, what did they discover? Ropeworm. A ropeworm is like this

unidentified parasite that stays up in your colon like a mucoid plaque, and it will come out and it can regenerate itself. I know, man. Like does it have a mouth and fangs and stuff? No, that's a hookworm. Okay. A hookworm has mouth and fangs. So if it can regenerate, how does a parasite cleanse actually alleviate the problem? It goes in and it detaches itself from inside of your intestines. It'll literally detach itself and it can be so many feet long. I mean, the things that I've seen since doing this for the last four years, I don't know if I'm ever going to be normal again. Okay, let's talk about red light therapy because this is one of the most underrated things in the wellness world right now.

For somebody new to the topic of parasite cleansing, what will be your top piece of advice before they begin? Because I am scared, and I've never done this. Well, don't freak out. This is normal. It's just not normal for us. We've just been seriously indoctrinated to think that Western medicine countries cannot have a parasite. It's wild to me. Even coming from medicine, I wrote books and I avoided this topic as well because it's just such a weird topic. So don't be afraid. The kit that I designed is so gentle and so easy. And we hold your hand the whole time. I have a team of 11 people on the social media side that answer emails, DMs and comments with me. And you just don't need to be afraid. And what's the kit called?

It's called Parify. How can people maintain a parasite-free lifestyle after a cleanse? They just have to keep cleansing. Okay. Yeah, they just keep going. But some people are going to say, Kim, they're going to say, well, of course she's going to say that because she's selling a kit. Right. So what would you say?

Well, you can rotate other products, too, not just Parify. I just made a really great third-party tested, organic, natural cleanse. you can eat antiparacetic foods. You can avoid things like salmon and sushi and make sure your food is cooked and you're not eating raw produce. It is a huge way when you're traveling to outside of the country, especially to catch a parasite is with raw produce. Or if you're not soaking your own produce, which is a huge thing. I talk about all the time how to soak your produce and Thurisage has a really great ozone machine. So making sure that you're just following.

all of the steps, but it's unavoidable. We're human and we're the best host. We're sedentary. We eat like garbage a lot. Our food is not great. It's weighing us down even more. So to be proactive instead of reactive, we're all reactive people and we want to be proactive. You want to stay healthy. You want to make sure that if you do have a stressful situation, that it's not going to turn into a parasitic infection because you've disrupted them. So cleansing is your best bet to make sure that you stay somewhat parasite-free. It's inevitable because we're human. If you could offer one remedy to elicit culture, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, what would it be? Well, I mean, cleansing your body. In order for everything to absorb,

in order for you to understand what's going on, you know, they can. can absorb 90% of our nutrients, leaving us with 10%, they hijack us. And it's really just important to have an understanding of your human body. And I feel like that's something that we didn't really get taught in high school or I went to healthcare colleges. So, you know, I understand the human body, but why don't we understand the human body? Why do you think that is that medical professionals, Western medicine does not suggest people do parasite cleanses. Because they don't know, honestly. A lot of people say to me, oh, it's about money, but honestly, they just don't know.

And it was so easy to change parts of our medical books. We've only been in Western medicine for 100 years. We did this before. Yeah. You know, this isn't something new to humans. This is just new to Western medicine countries. Okay. That's important that you.

just said that, I think. I feel like understanding that Western medicine is denying this. Okay. It's kind of nuts to me. It's really a crazy concept. And it isn't just about the doctors not understanding it. It's they don't have the knowledge. They have bigger egos. They can't go out of their scope of practice. This is out of their scope of practice. I've spent four years every day doing this. They're really imprisoned. These regular general practitioners, And that's why when you get into, you know, naturopaths or functional medicine, they have more freedom to, like, figure out that root cause and go down different avenues and work with other providers. Let's work with your nutritionists. Let's work with your parasite worm lady, you know, or worm queen. She said, I don't like worm lady. I like worm queen. So, yeah, I feel like they have more opportunity to kind of do that stuff. And then these regular Western medicine professionals, they just like, oh, I can't do that. It breaks the rules. Yep. And I know what that feels like to break the rules. I mean, I've lost jobs because I broke the rules. You know, you're caring for another human being. And if they don't know what they don't know, and it is really easy. Honestly, I was a subject matter expert and I was an author. And it was very easy for me to go in and change just a little bit of a book. And I was a gold standard. I was the end. So if I said that that needed to be changed, it would get changed. And then that ripple effect for the future was changed.

And that's what happened here. That's what happened here. Because other countries know this is a thing. They know, like in Mexico, you wouldn't drink their water. I won't drink our water. I won't drink our water. Oh, no. Same.

I won't drink our water. Yeah. So you are avoiding tap water like the plague. Oh, avoiding tap water like the plague. I've tested the water in Seattle. It's tested positive for nematodes. I've tested the water in Hoodsport. It tested positive for nematodes, which are physical worms.

There was roundworm larvae in our water in both of the cities I've lived in. And I won't shower in it. I won't brush my teeth with it. So are you doing a whole house water system filter system? I have a whole house water filter system at our log home. And because we have an apartment downtown Seattle, all of the water has a three filter system underneath the sink. In an apartment? Yep.

What's that called? It's called a water drop and it's like 200 bucks. I need to get that. Oh, it's amazing. Because I just have like a shirder. shower head filter and a bath filter, but that's it. And if your filter isn't five micron or smaller, it's not filtering out, which potentially could be nematotes. Okay, that's good to know. Because can they enter the body even just being on the skin? Yes. Okay. Because you can absorb

up to two cups of water and everything in that water every 15 minutes. That's a shower. That's a bath. I do long baths. Okay. So you want to make sure that you're not just doing an ad back, which is minerals, but you're also doing, it's like a cloth filter. right? And that's a 5 micron. If people want to do your cleanse, you're giving my audience a discount code, code Alex Clark, where do they go? Rogershood.com. Where can people find you on social media? Mrs. Rogers Hood.

We have done it, recorded it so that you can feel a little bit better while watching someone else do it and understand it.
