Good question. I've heard that theory, and I keep it in mind whenever I write about parasites. In my book, Parasites & the Terrain, I acknowledge that many of us may carry these critters around, and they don't always travel alone. Bacteria and Candida can be in the mix too.
Think of Candida. It lives in plenty of healthy people and is a friend in the right numbers. When it overgrows, cutting it back can help, but we don't want to annihilate it. Go all out and you create selective pressure that favors the toughest survivors. Same with parasites.
Not every parasite is harmless, though. Some can make people very sick and hang on for years, along with other bugs. So whether it's Candida or parasites, I start with the terrain. Change the conditions that invited them in, or they tend to return.
You did the parasite cleanse and felt better for a few weeks. Then your symptoms crept right back in.
Most people decide the cleanse was nonsense, or that they didn't go hard enough. Neither is right.

Still lying awake at 3 a.m.? It could be a disrupted circadian rhythm, and that can be restored. Mine took about two weeks to respond, then the change was dramatic.
What the sleep lab never told me:

You know people like this. Maybe you're one of them.
They eat well. They exercise. They take the supplements, they've cut out the seed oils, they've done a cleanse or two.
They still wake up tired.

Most people recover from food poisoning in a few days. Some never quite do.
A review of more than 21,000 people found about one in ten developed IBS within a year of an intestinal infection, at over four times the usual risk.

Is Soylent Green becoming real?
Food politics is pricing out red meat + nutrient-dense foods while processed substitutes take over.
We’re losing B12, heme iron, carnosine, carnitine—and it shows in our mental health.

Edward Bernays didn't need facts to move people. He just needed to hit the right emotional nerve — and repeat it until the public thought the idea was their own.
He called it "public relations."
Adam Curtis's The Century of the Self shows how it still works today.

Life feels faster and more divided for a reason.
In our new article, media scientist Nelson S. Thall and I use McLuhan’s media theory to explain today’s modern reset—why society feels off-balance and how we rebuild real connection in a digital age.

Canada quietly removed cloned cattle + pigs from the “novel foods” list.
➡️ No safety review
➡️ No labels
➡️ Cloned meat + dairy sold as normal
Cloning still has 1–5% success rates + major defects.
We’ve heard the same promises before (GM crops).
Choose local farms + demand transparency.

CFIA called “clueless” in the National Post.
Animals renamed “individuals.”
Culling renamed “tracing out.”
Compensation renamed a “scheme.”
After the ostrich cull, this is a pattern. Farmers deserve support, not chaos. Canadians must push back before CFIA wrecks anything else. #SustainableAgriculture @KatiePasitney
For decades our justice system has been in disarray: innocents ignored, guilty protected, honest cops stopped from following evidence by political interference.
Finally someone is fighting back.
Support the new Grus Justice Project – restoring the Rule of Law & police independence.
