Rasa Dhatu
Cleansing the Plasma of Parasites
If you are just joining the conversation, please read the previous post on The Concept of the Dhatus. It may also help to review the essays on oral health that cover toxic metals, fluoride, and hormone disruptors. The evidence of these foreign substances is found both in tissues and plasma. What was added to the list in the first post on Dhatus is a host of other issues such as hydration, various pharmaceutical and chemical toxins, fungi, and parasites. In short, detoxification is not just important to health but also to regeneration since all the nutrients needed to keep ourselves in optimal condition are assimilated from whatever we take into our bodies, largely through ingestion and more coincidentally via inhalation and contact with the skin, including the water in which we swim or bathe as well as cosmetics, insect repellents, and substances that are absorbed through the skin. After posting the last essay, I read some nonsense about the reason juice fasting is a hoax is that the body takes care of detoxification on its own without support from herbal supplements or carefully prepared organic foods and juices. The source for this contention was Mayo Clinic, but I wonder if they can explain why people are on waiting lists for organ transplants? Why aren’t people who are sick more proactive? Anyone who is getting worse rather than better should take the time to assess what might be done differently so as to enjoy a happier outcome.
I saw my first blood parasite when looking through a microscope back in the 1990s. It was fascinating, and I managed to video tape what I saw. Since then, I have read dozens of books and taken at least a thousand still images of parasites. This is a complicated subject, and even pathologists often get confused when I ask questions. If one wants clear medical explanations, it is best to consult a specialist in tropical medicine.
Finding a parasite is proof of infection. Failure to find the parasites may be due to poor lab skills or absence of evidence in one particular sample; but such infections are common and may be intraerythrocytic, as with malaria and babesia, or in the plasma. These parasites are microscopic and pervasive and obviously circulate wherever the lymph and blood circulate.
Parasites are like miniature snakes and they come in as many varieties as snakes, meaning some are relatively harmless but for the fact that they forage, mostly on red blood cells. Some are very discerning and only eat crenated red blood cells, and some are gluttons that gulp down 25-30 blood cells at a time. Try not to be shocked because contrary to what I read in medical textbooks, treatment is really simple.
Anyway, we have to finish this section. Except for the parasites that just devour what is close, there are some with distinct hunting patterns, very similar to snakes, meaning some are more like pythons, some like boa constrictors, and some like cobras. Only a few that I have seen are highly toxic. In my opinion, some have the capacity to influence human behavior. They create cravings for certain foods and sometimes have effects on the personality.
For the record, some of the textbooks I read contained statements that these parasites are generally commensal and harmless, maybe even beneficial. I beg to differ. They may dine at the same smörgåsbord as red blood cells, but they are not well-behaved guests. At minimum, they are pirates. Since the standard protocols generally rely on toxic metals, the textbooks often state that the cure is worse than the infection. Wrong!
The cure is actually very simple, but there are some risk factors to consider. The first is that parasites lay tens of thousands of eggs so one round of treatment usually only wipes out the adult parasites. The second issue is reinfection. This depends a lot on the life style. In the tropics, people are often bitten many times every day, and they are continually reinfected. Then, there are those who are in contact with animals that are infected . . . and, next, are the sushi eaters. This is not to suggest that all sushi poses risks, but it is kind of like roulette, and no one can be sure if only the blanks are served as meals.
My book on botanical cancer treatments was translated into German (also Bulgarian and Spanish). So, I was invited to consult in clinics in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. A few nuances can be shared.
Der Spiegel ran a series of articles on the dangers of amalgam fillings. The German government paid for removal of the amalgams but not chelation. I found more parasites among German patients because mercury was not inhibiting parasites. In Switzerland, I found extremely high levels of metal toxicity and far fewer parasites. However, the patients came from all over the world, and many had traveled in the tropics and picked up exotic diseases.
There are a couple of caveats that might contribute to the coherence of some of my statements. Several microscopists have published pictures of parasites, and they have attributed the infections to the jab. Dr. Ryan Cole¹ has more or less dismissed this claim, and I agree with him. More to the point, these parasites have been around for eons. This said, many of the alternative treatments for the current virus are well-known anti-parasitic remedies so this is something to keep in mind.
Anyone who is even loosely interested in medical anthropology or ethnobotany knows that every indigenous system of medicine has countless cures for parasitic infections. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that the diversity of plant life means that there are often hundreds of anti-parasitic herbs, often right in one’s own garden.
For some months, I have been considering a post on artemisias. There are at least 200, maybe 400, species of this genus, and all probably have some anti-parasitic properties. The most famous in Europe is no doubt A. absinthium. It is in many historic formulas, wines, aperitifs, and the famous green fairy, Absinthe, a liqueur that was very popular in certain circles such as that of van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, and Picasso. It was eventually banned but is now once again available in both Europe and the United States.
Wormwood was used by Nostradamus and was made very popular in recent times by Hulda Clark. It is a quite strong herb, but has a cousin that is softer and very popular as a treatment for malaria. It is A. annua, or Sweet Annie. It has been found very useful in certain kinds of cancer treatment also.
For cooks, the most familiar artemisia is tarragon, A. dracunculus. It is used extensively in the cuisine in many cultures and is the secret of success with Béarnaise sauce. If you are a little lazy, chop it up and add it to fettucine Alfredo or cream cheese. If you are vegan, make a nice cashew butter with some coconut milk and add tarragon, a little salt, cayenne pepper, and whatever else you fancy. Smear this on corn, pour over asparagus, or use as a dip for artichokes. You can also add tarragon to pesto, smoothies, and juices.
Lucid dreamers as well as women with hormonal issues are probably familiar with mugwort, A. vulgaris.
The last two artemisias I want to mention today are davana, A. pallens, and Owyhee, A. ludoviciana, both usually used as essential oils for purification. Davana is often misted as a fumigant, more or less as frankincense is used in churches. It reduces airborne risks to health. The leaves are also fed to livestock as they are anthelmintic in action. In the west, davana is often used in perfumes and skin care products. The aroma is sort of fruity. Owyhee is from Oregon and is used in place of Roman chamomile in some perfumes. Like mugwort, it is often found in women’s health care products, but is also used on rashes and wounds.
Well, in a few paragraphs, I managed to cover six artemisias, but the real goal today is to explain how anti-parasitic herbs work because it is probably not what you think.
For many years, I collaborated with researchers in South Africa and then with various charities working with malaria in the Congo, Gabon, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Most were using Artemisia annua that was grown locally though production in Madagascar has become an important export, sometimes to laboratories that are extracting artemisinin. Almost all patients turned the corner in six days, but recurrences were unfortunately common. An Austrian I knew had 42 bouts of malaria and was hospitalized numerous times in Kenya.
What I saw in darkfield microscopy is that all the blood parasites are dead within 36 hours after treatment is commenced. Patients usually experience a reduction of symptoms and relief very quickly, but they often feel yucky on days three to five when the body is trying to clean up the plasma. Sorry if this is too graphic, but the dead parasites are either eaten by bacteria or they decompose through fermentation. Which happens depends on the immune system, and sorry if I sound like a broken record, but also on whether there are toxic metals interfering with immune system. By day six, surely by day seven, people start feeling more normal.
So, I created three formulas. The first is called Arjuna’s Arrows because I had a hard time dealing with the murder of parasites. I went so far as to have a session with a highly gifted animal communicator who could talk to the parasites and explain that they had a choice. They could leave voluntarily or be killed. I have to say, the parasites were very brave but not particularly cooperative.
You all know now that I majored in Asian Studies and worked for the State Department in India. In the Mahabharata War, Arjuna struggles with his conscience but is told by Krishna to defeat evil. So, this explains the strange name; but, in Germany, the doctor called this formula Para 1. It takes about half an ounce to accomplish the mission, and this is best consumed within the first 36 hours.
Para 2 was named Dragon Dreams because many patients had strange dreams after starting the cleanse. Interestingly, tarragon’s botanical name refers to little dragons: dracunculus. I was not aware of this when naming the formula, but I was obviously tuned in on some channel. Dragon Dreams is used to support the clean up so it starts after Arjuna’s Arrows and stops on day seven.
Para 3 is called Phoenix Rising because everyone feels better and hopefully all the parasites are enjoying a safe and happy afterlife. It stabilizes the patient, supports the immune system, and is taken for a week.
Most people start right before the full moon. From the new moon to next full moon, no anti-parasitic herbs are taken, but it is fine to use a little mugwort or tarragon in culinary form.
It is important to repeat this cycle so the three bottles cover two months or two cycles. This will be enough for some people but not for everyone. It will work with some intestinal parasites as well. This would, however, be a slight change of subject from rasa dhatu to parasites. For now, the goal is to perfect the condition of the plasma so that further progress can be made.
I formulated a very tasty lymphatic tea that really supports maintaining correct pH and cleaning the lymphatic channels and nodes. It is based on cleavers and all of these products are found on my websites, especially Bioethika International.
This is my one and only video on youtube.com.
