When I first heard people talking about parasites, I honestly thought they were something you only had to worry about if you traveled abroad—places with poor sanitation or contaminated water. Not here in the U.S. Not in a clean, modern country. Definitely not in me.
But that belief shattered when I started connecting the dots between my lifelong symptoms and something deeper—something I never thought might be parasitic.
The Clues I Didn’t Recognize
Growing up, I struggled with psoriasis and eczema since I was in middle school. Doctors always told me it was autoimmune, so I learned to manage it the best I could. But one patch in particular—the one on the nape of my neck—just wouldn’t go away and always was itchy especially after eating inflammatory foods. No matter what prescription creams or steroid lotions I was given (and I saw several dermatologists), nothing ever cleared it. I got used to it. I assumed this was just always going to be my normal trying to control it with diet.
Then, a few years later, a white, dry-looking rash appeared on my knee. I didn’t panic—it looked like another stubborn skin issue, so I treated it the same way with skincare products, oils, and creams. Nothing helped. It sat there for almost two years, refusing to heal.
Enter: Cancer… and Fenbendazole
After I was diagnosed with cancer, I started exploring alternative therapies—anything that could help me heal. I joined every cancer group I could find. That’s where I first heard about Fenbendazole, an animal dewormer that some people were using off-label to treat cancer and parasites.
Desperate for something that might work, I ordered it from a reputable website and brand and took it with DMSO, starting on a very low dose as instructed by a Facebook group.
And that’s when something wild happened:
Within 10 minutes of taking my first dose, the white spot on my knee began flaking off.
After nearly two years of nothing making a difference, it was suddenly shedding like dry skin after a sunburn. I was shocked—fascinated, even. It immediately made me wonder:
Were these things on my skin parasitic all along?
A Deep Dive Into Parasites (and Overdoing It)
That moment pulled me into a full-on obsession with parasites. I read everything I could find, watched videos, and joined parasite detox groups. I became consumed with the idea that parasites might be behind more chronic illnesses than we realize—including cancer.
I started rapidly increasing my Fenbendazole dose along with the many other supplements I was taking, thinking I was finally on the right path. But in my effort to “kill off the bad guys,” I didn’t realize I was overloading my liver.
A Serious Warning from My Body
Eventually, I turned jaundiced. After a nutritionist recommended I get blood work to check for an MTHFR gene mutation, my doctor called me urgently to go to the ER immediately—my liver enzymes were through the roof.
At the hospital, blood tests showed severe liver toxicity. Doctors told me I was in chronic liver failure, comparing my lab results to those of someone who had overdosed on acetaminophens. They even discussed a liver transplant but said I didn’t qualify because I was a cancer patient.
I spent the night in the hospital, terrified I had done irreversible damage in the process of trying to heal. Thankfully, after being hooked up to an IV of NAC, my enzymes slowly began to stabilize—but I had to stop all supplements immediately and wait for my liver to recover.
Even now, I can’t tolerate Fenbendazole (even in very small dosages) without getting flu like symptoms for days. It’s as if my body remembers.
Finding Gentler Paths — And Healing
I haven’t given up on parasite cleansing—but I’ve learned it must be done with care. These days, I’ve moved on to gentler options like Ivermectin, Artemisinin, Mimosa Pudica, and Diatomaceous Earth, which my body tolerates far better.
After completing a more balanced parasite cleanse, something amazing happened: both my stubborn psoriasis patch on the back of my neck and the white rash on my knee disappeared completely.
This was huge for me — skin issues that had troubled me for years were finally gone. It reinforced how important it is to consider parasites as a possible root cause in chronic skin and health problems like cancer.
What I’ve Learned
- Parasites aren’t just a third-world problem. They exist here too—and might contribute to chronic symptoms we’ve been conditioned to accept as “normal,” like skin conditions, digestive issues, fatigue, and inflammation.
- Skin issues can be signals. That flaky patch on my knee and the stubborn psoriasis on my scalp and neck weren’t just skin-deep—they were signs something was off internally, even parasitic.
- Healing requires balance. You can’t bulldoze your body into health. Even natural or alternative remedies can become toxic if used excessively or without guidance.
My Final Thoughts
This journey has taught me to question everything I once thought I knew—about my body, health, and how deep healing really works. Parasites and cancer may be more connected than we’ve been told, and more people are starting to wake up to that reality.
If you’re exploring this route, make sure to work with a healthcare professional who can monitor your liver enzymes weekly to avoid overdoing it.
But desperation can be dangerous. Be curious, be open—but most importantly, be careful.
If you’re navigating cancer or chronic illness, I hope my story gives you something to think about. You’re not alone—and healing doesn’t have to hurt.
