Are Parasites Making You Fat?
By Dr. Glenn Wilcox
I was called to a career in Energy Medicine almost 47 years ago. Over the decades I evolved Wise Medicine® – a comprehensive, fully functional, holistic, integrative, and energy enhancing approach to medicine and health optimization.
My clinical experience awakened an awareness that there are two primary issues undermining the foundation of health in America, and they are directly linked. One is weight. The other is parasites.
Americans are Overweight and Obese: Almost a third of Americans are overweight and over a third more are obese. Stated differently, about two thirds of Americans are too heavy, significantly more than the worldwide numbers where just over one third of people are in this category. I have a suspicion that this may be the most important and undiscussed reason why Americans are having a much tougher time with COVID-19 than other countries.
Of course, poor diet choices and lack of exercise contribute to weight problems. For some people hormone imbalances play a role. There can be other factors, but one other factor is exceptionally important and never explored…
Parasites: The one other area of concern that is always overlooked when doctors try to help their patients solve weight problems is an infection with intestinal PARASITES!
For 40 years I have specialized in diagnosing and treating parasite infections as well as infections from other invaders such as bacteria and Candida yeast. I do more of this and I’m more successful doing it than most other doctors in the country.
An Important Pearl: Perhaps the most important fact I want to share with you is that the most common comment my patients voluntarily express to me after eliminating their parasite infection is some variation of “Doc! My craving for sugars and other carbohydrates is gone!” Somehow these invading parasitic creatures are able to influence our brains and bodies to crave carbs. Most experts agree, eating too many foods that are high in carbs will impact weight. Simply stated, how can a person avoid carbs and decrease their weight if some invading parasitic creature is driving their craving for carbs. Believe me, I’ve seen this frequently. Know that you can identify and eliminate these controlling, parasitic invaders. Doing so will enable you to be far more successful at managing your weight.
I had a weight problem for years. I tried everything. I was surprised when Dr. Wilcox diagnosed me with intestinal parasites. But after using the Plant Juices he recommended to clear them, my craving for carbohydrates just went away, as did my bloating. And, I lost inches around my waste in days. Joanne W., ABQ
Carbs – all the above convert to sugar in your body! And that, if excessive, becomes fat!
How Common are Parasites in America? Unfortunately, intestinal parasites are far more common in the U.S. than conventional medical doctors learn about in medical school. The basic misinformation doctors are taught is that parasite infections are mostly a Third World problem and not common in the U.S. After decades of experience, I have concluded that belief is just not true. However, the conventional belief continues to be reinforced by inaccurate testing for parasites by American labs. As a result, even if a doctor suspects a parasite infection and sends a patient’s stool to the lab for parasite testing, the chances of a false negative are very high, reinforcing the belief that parasites are uncommon here. I’ve detailed more about this problem in a previous Truly Alive article.
Giardia lamblia: A microscopic protozoan parasite that can be found in municipal water in New Mexico and on uncooked vegetables and fruits. Albuquerque is the American city with the highest levels of this parasite in cats and dogs. It is tough parasite and is considered communicable and therefore passed between couples and family members and often becomes a problem in day care centers.
I propose that the reality about the prevalence of parasites in Americans is in fact very different than is conventionally believed. I have observed that between one third and half of Americans have some type of intestinal parasite. This observation is based on the stool test results from thousands of my patients for over three decades. The stool tests were performed using world-class diagnostic microscopy by a world-class expert. My clinical experience helps me to help patients (so often plagued with parasites) recover their health when traditional western medicine has failed.
Roundworms: the most common worm parasite in humans. Global health authorities estimate about 0.8 to 1.2 billion people globally have this parasite. That’s like 1 in 6 people on earth! The most common symptom from these worms is constipation. Eggs can be on uncooked vegetables and fruits.
Wise Diagnostic – Accurate World-Class Parasite Diagnosis: Since 1988, I have relied upon the world-class microscopy services of Hammed Ibraheem, M.D., Ph.D. to accurately diagnose parasite infections, as well as those from unhealthy bacterial and Candida yeast that occur in the intestines and elsewhere in the body. Dr. Ibraheem is the founder of the Eko University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Lagos, Nigeria, the premiere medical school in Africa. Every week I send him a variety of specimens…stool, blood, urine, sputum, skin, and others – packed in a refrigerated container. These specimens come from doctors and patients across the U.S. and Canada. He examines each under a powerful microscope, utilizing microscopy techniques not yet used in the U.S. He identifies invading, infectious organisms and other markers that reveal compromised health. Dr. Ibraheem is an exceptionally competent expert. He is the only person I have found able to identify the active blood organisms that cause Lyme disease and Lyme co-infections. Without such accurate diagnosis, treatment is often unsuccessful, frustrating and certainly not good evidence-based medicine. My approach is to first identify what specific infections exist using dependable testing, then determine an appropriate therapeutic protocol to eliminate the invaders, and finally repeat the testing to verify that the protocol was successful. A simple, scientific approach that’s satisfyingly successful.
Hookworm: the second most common worm parasite on earth that can enter your body through the skin of your feet. They latch onto the wall of the small intestine and suck blood. They can cause referred pain to the abdomen and back. Nasty!
If you are sincerely intent upon discovering the root cause of your health issues, no matter what they may be, including the elimination of excess weight (if that is a concern), call my clinic and request a stool specimen kit. For a more in-depth analysis, a live blood kit would be wise also. If you are having urinary tract issues, request the urine kit. And for respiratory or nasal problems, we have a sputum kit. We will provide you with a report detailing the findings from each specimen analysis performed by Dr. Ibraheem. At that time, if your results are positive, you may choose to schedule a consultation with me in person, by phone or online so that together we can explore your treatment options and determine the best therapeutic strategy based on your individual needs. If you have questions or are uncertain about whether this testing is appropriate for you or which tests to do, please schedule a consultation first and together we will determine a wise plan.
Eliminating Parasites – The Key to Weight Problems: Eliminating intestinal parasites is a significant, overlooked key to weight problems. The first step will be to call the clinic and request a Wise Diagnostic test kit. Simply call the clinic. If your test is positive, be wise and complete the safe and effective protocol of Plant Juices from Wise Botanicals that I will individually create for you based on your test results.
Wise Botanicals: Wise Botanicals is the distributor of Eweje Plant Juices from Africa. These Plant Juices were evolved from traditionally effective botanical medicines that have been optimized and tested by the Pharmacognosy Department at Eko University of Medicine. I have prescribed them for my patients with confidence and exceptional results since 1988.
My Invitation: I invite you to discover how to accurately diagnose and successfully resolve your intestinal parasite, bacteria and Candida yeast infections, as well as infections elsewhere in your body. Doing so wisely is the foundation for resolving almost all health problems, including excess weight. That is the pearl. Now, here is the diamond. Doing so wisely is essential for optimizing your immune system and vital energy. One obvious result of that is an enhanced ability to fight COVID-19. Diamond!
Allow me to take time with you, to be your competent guide, to help you be well and joyful. This is what I excel at! This is what I love to do!
