The Better Question: Is It Really a Parasite Problem?

And today we wanna delve into a really big topic and try to get this somewhat consolidated in the context of understanding some of the biggest challenges that a lot of people have with their health, and that is specifically around parasites.

Now, Dr. Kidder, most people hear the word parasites, and they may really think, "That can't be me.

That's like in third world countries."

Yeah.

Um, "That's not something that really should be a part of my health picture at all.

I live in America," right? Why do you think that's one of the biggest misconceptions that people can have about their health?

Oh my goodness.

You know, first of all, I think you should have music when you say parasites.

It's like dun, dun, dun.

[chuckles]

You know? [chuckles] Super intense 'cause it's an intense topic, right? It's, it's a topic that a lot of people don't like talking about, you know, and, and your point, like, unfortunately, I think we've unintentionally created this false belief that parasites are something that only affect people in developing countr- countries, right? Third world countries, those with poor hygiene and poor sanitation.

And the reality is parasites are part of the natural world, right?

Mm-hmm.

We share our environment with them every single day.

And we look at exposures.

I, I, I always used to kiddingly say, and within CellCore we, you know, have, have kiddingly said over the years, "You want the greatest parasite test? Put these two fingers on your pulse on the opposite wrist, and if you have a pulse, you have a parasite," right? And I say that kiddingly.

Yeah, right.

It's, it's, it's not truthful.

But the reality is, we have exposure to parasites all the time, and that exposure can come from contaminated food.

It can come from untreated water, right? Do you ever s- swim in any body of water that's not a chlorinated, brominated pool? You know, do you swim in rivers and lakes and ponds and all of that? So, you know, water in our drinking water can also be, you know, a source.

Undercooked meats.

Mm-hmm.

Pets, right? I have pets.

We all love those of us that have pets.

They go outside.
