Couple that with poor dietary practices and excessive use of alcohol and pharmaceutical drugs, the body becomes a barren landscape for the various forms of nutrients: Vitamins, minerals, cell salts, herbs, etc. required for basic and advanced functioning on a cellular level. In modern times, supplementation is critical maintenance of whole health and immunity.

These parasites include helminths (worms), nematodes, protozoa, fungus, pleomorphed bacteria, bacteriophages, and even gain-of-function viruses. There are many common examples of manipulation of animal behavior by parasites, including in humans. Parasites don’t just exist in developing countries, but are rampant in all societies, especially in America where many are not consuming proper amounts of natural prebiotics and probiotics, but only processed foods, low quality meat and farm-raised fish. Symptoms can include: Dental infections, compromised immunity, inadequate nutrition, food allergies, bloating, depression and fatigue. People who tend to act “out of sorts” on new and full moons likely have parasitic overgrowth.

Conversely, a balanced microbiome is paramount to whole health, as it fortifies our enteric nervous system and keeps us protected from pathogenic invaders. A balanced diet, filled with prebiotics, fermented foods and probiotics is paramount. Unfortunately, both the standard-American diet, big-ag chemicals such as glyphosates, and the overuse of antibiotics has severely depleted the biome and immune system The ideal microbiome is fortified with many hundreds of different bacteria, all of which exist in layers, creating a symbiotic environment in our gut. Some of these strains are going extinct from antibiotic overuse and many of these strains provide necessary nutrition for our bodies.
