Targeted, ParaSmart, Microbial Cleanse, 2-Part 15-Day Program

1. Complicated instructions to use. Not convenient. 2. No proof it is working. 3. 15 days to use where is you have to counts drips in part 2. Not convenient

As a nutritionist, I’ve used Renew Life products like their probiotics and candida cleanse for years with great results. Recently, after a stool test confirmed I had a parasite, I decided to try their ParaSmart cleanse. Initially, I assumed the symptoms I experienced—daily diarrhea, stomach sensitivity, and irritation—were typical "die-off" reactions. However, when these issues persisted for over 10 days, I consulted a herbalist. I learned that some of the herbs in the formula can be quite harsh and might exacerbate symptoms for certain individuals. While ParaSmart may work well for some, it’s important to consult with a herbalist or qualified practitioner before starting, as it might not be suitable for everyone.

This product cured my tapeworm nightmare. I had been suffering for about a year and a half with unexplained symptoms that were diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I had debilitating fatigue and I was constantly sick with vicious flus and infections (and I mean every other week I had a new illness no exaggeration). My digestion was horrible and I would suffer from intense bloating that would make my stomach jut out at least six inches and become rock hard. I was so sick I was forced to go on temporary disability. My fatigue was so bad I could barely do anything for myself and couldn't get out of bed or off the couch.I felt like I was dying. At the insistence of my Mom (who has always been concerned about me eating raw sushi) I got this parasite cleanse. I was willing to try anything even though I wasn't so convinced that I had parasites. Then I started reading about it and was shocked at how much my symptoms lined up parasite infection so I eagerly awaited my package. For the first few days I felt nothing and started to wonder if it would do anything. Around day 4 and 5 I started to have horrible muscle cramps all over my body and headaches. I was even more incapacitated than usual and in a LOT of pain. I figured it was my good old "CFS" flaring up. Then my boyfriend pointed out after doing some research that some people reported these exact symptoms as a "die off" reaction. Parasites release toxins as they die and make you feel worse.I wondered if that could be what was happening. ***Fair Warning This Gets a Tad Graphic Going Forward*** A few days after (probably around day 8 or so) I was still having bad bloating so I did an enema. I almost died from shock. There was about a 6" long translucent worm looking thing in my toilet and big huge spirals of something clearly made of the same "material". I took a close up look to make sure that what I was seeing was actually real and yes, it absolutely was a tapeworm. It looked just like the pictures you would find of a tapeworm if you Google it. In total (it broke in pieces) there had to be at least a foot and half worth of it. I almost puked. I felt ill for the rest of the day but that night I noticed a marked improvement in my energy. It has now been about two weeks and my condition has done a complete and total turn around. I'm no longer excessively fatigued and have started to resume my normal activities. My depression has cleared up. I haven't been sick or felt run down. A mysterious ache I used to have in my lungs every morning for YEARS is now gone (a lot of people diagnosed with CFS turn up positive for lung parasites). I'm in total shock about how much this helped me. After researching it, apparently a HUGE percentage of the population have parasites. I just had a particularly horrible one. I will definitely being doing this for the three months to make sure everything is dead and then once a year going forward. There are just so many possible sources of infection regardless of how sanitary you try to be (fresh produce, pets, going swimming, etc-) that it seems silly not to cleanse yourself regularly. I recommend this to anyone. If you feel even remotely less than 100% it's worth a shot. Doctors will not catch this. They are not aware of it, and testing turns up constant false negatives because parasites don't necessarily leave your body especially if they are still alive. I tested negative for parasites right before a foot and half worth of tapeworm came out of me, so don't leave it up to doctors!!!

29 April 2022- Day 1- I felt some menstrual cramp-like pain between my belly button and pubic bone. Suddenly I felt very tired and introspective. I went to the bathroom and I passed a cluster of parasites, around 3-4 tbsp but connected like tandem parachuting. Probably from my uterus, since parasites like blood. The discomfort I felt was most likely from their cluster getting dislodged. If this product “induced” something similar to menstrual bleeding, or made my menstrual cycle start earlier, I’d welcome it. Part of the whole menstrual cycle idea is to cleanse (shed walls) of the uterus monthly (think about it) and just as liver flukes feed happily whilst living in the liver, parasites can travel the bloodstream and set camp in one’s uterus where there’s plenty of food. Pick an organ. After I was done, I felt a surge of energy like a giant tree suddenly sprouting. The body is amazing, I tell ya. ⚠️ THIS IS SCIENCE, PEOPLE. Grab your chopsticks (if you need to pick up something) and paper straws (in case you drop the straw, because this is not the time to clog the toilet with plastic straws). Day 2- AM: I felt some discomfort around my left lymph node region, near my left armpit towards my back/shoulder blade. Then it felt similar to a few very painful pinches. I also felt tenderness around my spleen. Then I got very tired, like there was a quiet inside. I went to the bathroom and I passed about 1/4 cup cluster of parasites. Yes, they had heads and tails. If I had a microscope, I bet I could see mouths. Day 2, Afternoon- more parasite clusters and some liver flukes (they look like rolled tomato skins, in case you’re wondering) and no, I can’t eat tomatoes because of night shades, so that’s not it. Clear toilet water this whole time. Just parasites and a little bit of “brown” biofilm. Day 2 EVENING - I ate a light dinner and felt strangely bloated. Some intense, intermittent pain right over my stomach. I thought I had gas. Nope. False alarm. I went to the loo and I passed, NO JOKE, 4 cups of parasites. Yes. They were DEAD parasites. I’d say around 3 inches to 5 inches. Some whole, some partially chopped up. And a whole cup of biofilm, maybe more. The odour was worse than sewer - I am not kidding. No matches, no lysol, no Dyson fan could dissipate what had just left my body. I have a little statue in my bathroom, near the toilet and I apologised to it 🫠. I thought to move the little statue elsewhere because I’m only on Day 2. The horrible odour lingered for over one hour, like a silent, oily, corpse smell that you can’t get rid of. I wish I had an outhouse. I’m drinking alkaline water from TJ’s, had some dandelion tea this afternoon and some smooth soup and grilled haddock for dinner. For breakfast I had 1/4 cup of oat Muesli with 1/2 cup blueberries, some chia seeds and some Bio-K probiotic container. It’s the best on the market, $6 per container but I have all this dislodged nuclear waste floating around my system, so I am bringing the big guns of probiotics into my arsenal. Going to bed. I’ll continue this, if I can. Day 3 - HORROR SHOW!!! As it turns out, I’m full of leeches-like aliens. I’m debating if I add pictures here. Let’s just say I passed about 6-7 cups of Trematoda, eggs and a couple Ascaris-looking guys. The Trematoda were black and shiny like leeches. I also passed Liver Flukes and included in that, around 3 cups of Intestinal Biofilm (which had all sorts of egg-sac like “seed pods” ie Blastocystis Hominis) and chopped up parasite carcass. It seems like these bad guys are getting evicted by layers. Maybe the supplement affects them in different dosage, like waves. Side note, I drank a cup of 2 tea bag of Smooth Move because it seems like no matter how much water one drinks, this bad crew constipates you so they can feed off of my internal cesspool. It’s a desperate attempt on their part, I understand, yet they’re not winning Day 3. I am. These black, shiny, leech-like ones were around 2-4 inches. Liver Flukes around 1.5 inches. Ascaris looking guys (just a few), we’re around 6-7 inches. The day is not over; it’s not even noon. Bleh! Better out than in. Day 3 Evening- Around 8pm I passed 2 separate loads of Blastocystis Hominis. Gawd! These guys are master camouflagers; they inhibit the production of crucial nutrients because if things are toxic, they can feast with their friends. ⚠️ I think it’s important to say that I have been eating basmati rice cooked in chicken bone broth, brown rice noodle aioli, smooth soups (vs chunky), drinking alkaline water from TJ’s and suddenly lost my taste for coffee, sweets ( I ate a piece of chocolate on day one and it tasted awful). My allergies & on/off migraines disappeared by day 2. I’ve also been drinking some nettle leaf tea, dandelion tea, Scottish black tea. I’ve added to my nightly L-Glutamine powder routine of 6+ months (it repairs the gut lining) L-Arginine combined with L-Ornithine powder from Life Extension bought on Amazon because it helps in managing this toxic waste. I feel better as soon as I drink it, so I’ll be doing so midday and the usual before bed. Also, I occasionally will do a tablespoon straight of Black Cumin Oil and also some saffron tea. I have a background as a wellness coach (20+ years), so I am seeing unreal results with what I am doing, although I do not recommend anyone to follow my steps. ⚠️ I’ve been doing 1tbsp of Diatomaceous Earth (Nature’s something brand) 1-2hrs AFTER the ParaSmart doses for the morning and afternoon doses. My thought process is, the ParaSmart annoys the parasites so they leave their burrows and the Diatomaceous Earth will chop/harm the parasite’s outer coating, forcing the ParaSmart to go deeper into their system. It has been working. Day 4 - Energy levels are better. Haven’t eaten breakfast yet. I’m usually up at 5am but I’ve been letting myself rest until 7am and as needed. All tiredness I’ve been feeling were sudden and only lasted a few minutes, until a BM. Then back to feeling better. I’ve used the past few days to do laundry and minor house chores, aside from my WFH option. Day 5 - EXHAUSTED! So, today was my first day of complete exhaustion upon waking up. I felt like a wet napkin. My mistake is that I decided to take the Diatomaceous Earth in the evening instead of morning and lunchtime one hour apart from the ParaSmart. It wasn’t until noon that I thought of taking the Life Extension L-Ornithine/L-Arginine earlier to help my body transmute some toxicity. Within 5 minutes of taking it, it felt like I put a Dyson Air Filter in a smoky room. I could see things clearly again and my energy was up. Side note is that I had run out of DE and Amazon was a day late with its delivery. Although they notified me, my timing got altered. Day 6 - Great energy levels and amazing night of sleep. Very little critters. Menstrual Cycle started and I don’t think I’ve even felt this great during a cycle. I could load lumber onto a truck, if needed, which is shocking because usually I’d be in bed taking ibuprofen under a heating pad. Day 7 - A little constipated, which I can solve with some delicious Smooth Move tea. Great energy levels and amazing night of sleep. No sightings. Day 8 - I woke up a little groggy. It is Saturday morning and I slept until 4am, worked on my laptop and took a nap from 6am til 9am. My body clearly needed it. Unless something extraordinary happens between today and day 15, I might not add to this review. Day 12 - I had a horrible night of sleep from Day 10 to Day 11 and migraines on Day 11 afternoon through today. I felt a little dizzy and my eyes not so focused, but I usually have that plus nausea when I have my monthly migraines, usually every Full Moon for the past few years. Now I know that parasites come out from their hiding and are super-active prior and during the Full Moon, which I didn’t know before, and apparently there are Full Moon parasite cleanses all over the internet. Who knew?!? Not me. Anyway, this morning I woke up with a pounding migraine in the middle of the night that was going on until few minutes ago. I realised this was probably due to “die-off” or Herxheimer Effect, so I took a full dose of the L-Ornithine/L-Arginine powder from Life Extension and as usual, it was like I put a Dyson Air Filter in a room full of smoke… 95% of the die-off symptoms went away. A couple minutes after (about 10 minutes to be precise), I went to the loo and passed 1/4”+ Blood Flukes, Liver Flukes, some Blastocysts and, horrifyingly, a 9” long tapeworm-looking organism that was about 1/4” wide. Also some 1/4” Ascaris clusters. Did I mention my migraine is gone now? Yikes. Apparently the 30lbs I gained during the pandemic is coming out in the form of parasites and biofilm 🤢 Better out than in. I am doing another 15 Day round of ParaSmart because some of the guys from today were clearly 2nd wind. I’m sure I have another egg cycle to deal with. Oh, boy. Ps- 🫥 No one can heal in a toxic environment. I think that the people that complain this hasn’t worked for them are so caked internally that it may take about three rounds+ to dislodge things. Drinking alcohol while doing a cleanse should go without saying, but here we go: alcoholic drinks, fizzy drinks (sodas), fried foods. Someone’s review complained that the ParaSmart Tincture Drops have alcohol. Duh! It preserves the plant extract 🤪 ALL tinctures (with unknown exceptions) must have alcohol and that’s how it’s been done since ancient times. The amount of alcohol is most likely less than one would spray on their armpits using deodorant. Tincture without alcohol is tea. Let’s apply some common sense. Also, if one doesn’t make the decision to starve these parasites by staying away from foods that make the parasites healthier and one’s body sicker, then no results produced. Quit enabling the bastards! I’ve NEVER eaten a MCD, BK, PT, CF, KFC meal (ever) and I have recently had all these parasites in me. I know exactly when I caught these guys back in November 2019 whilst having lunch at a restaurant (followed by digestive distress) and pandemic sedentary/stressful months just helped them multiply; which caused me to gravitate towards ice cream, sweets, crisps/chips and processed foods like Stacy’s chips. These foods had been my worst (even when buying organic) and so far from my normal living. It’s like these parasites changed my taste buds so I could be brainwashed into feeding them. Which I had done. And also gravitated towards coffee, which I rarely drank before. I was told I had IBS and gallbladder issues in the past 6+ months and with no family history of either, I knew something else was going on, although the doctors wanted to remove my gallbladder and feed me pills for IBS and gaslight me on the magnitude of this problem. Instead, I did a (Epsom salt/grapefruit/olive oil) Liver Cleanse (see internet) on April 26th 2022 and started ParaSmart on April 29th 2022. Since then, I haven’t had a single IBS symptom. None!!! If you do some research, you will see that a lot of parasite side effects can mimic IBS symptoms. Stool exam is a joke. With the money one pays for that, they might as well purchase this and do something good for the body regardless. It is money well spent! Hope this helps you.

Thankfully someone advised me to add psyllium to my diet in order to moved things along and diminish die off symptoms and constipation. I've tried to do this program before but, due to work schedule could not maintain the three a day dosing. I had freeloaders that are visible to the naked eye, (have witness die offs and sheds happen naturally throughout the years.) The last time I tried this I managed to go about five days and remember by day four or five I had flukes passing, (not fun to think about but, they pass in your stool and I do not go examining, just a glance is enough!) Years ago I tried a couple days of a cleanse and knew I had flukes from that time. I learned they can live 20 or 30 years in your liver! Egads. Meanwhile the last time I had this I remember feeling a cramp between my navel and pubis, (previous poster mentioned this too.) This is why I am using psyllium nightly to make sure things don't linger long after the dosing. This time I am on day 5. At day 2 I noticed visible die off, (when I flushed it was obvious.) Day 4 I noticed more and today, yep, a change in the type. I'll try to come back and update, hope I can make it through the whole 15 days. Yesterday I didn't modify my diet other than to add green juices and I have more so, hopefully today and tomorrow will be a juice detox as well to really starve them out. Thing is, this is not really gross, its just passing regular movements, (yet, it is what passes within it which is different.) Yes, I think it affects our mind/thoughts and mood as much research talks about our gut brain axis and how parasites can affect our neurotransmitters to coerce us into eating what they want. Also, I am taking a probiotic, (hoping to not lose the good microbes,) as well as vitamin supplements. Edit: Now January 2024 doing yearly cleanse, (note I have obvious signs that require it, also, I have animals that I care for.) My only symptoms are bloat and passing parasites. Okay, due to life I was going to skip this year's cleanse but... the most obvious visible sign I've ever had, prompted me to follow up -visible sign on toilet paper. The few days earlier I had belly bloat. Remember, this is gentle, not scary. Still, those "free loaders" are taking our own nutrients. I didn't do my day 1 2 or 3 perfectly but definitely had visible signs of die off in my stools. Note that I only do a cursory glance as I'm flushing. Remember, they are weakened and shedding, that is all. I also didn't do my diet great for the first four days but, will work on it. FWIW, last year was my third attempt, and first full treatment. I passed several flukes than ever and when those happen is when there is a queasy sense of abdominal discomfort. I remember those passed when fully into the full dosing. So, day 4 of this years. I had started a probiotic about a week before the natural shed that prompted this and I am also using the psyllium to assist in easy passage and clearing of sheds. Again, I recommend this is you have obvious signs and symptoms of actual infection and, as always, keep in contact with your provider. Will update.

I strongly advise anyone considering this cleanse to first go to the product website and download the instructions (PDF). I wish I had done so before I purchased. The manufacturer advises (they do say "advise only") users to follow a severely restricted diet when cleansing, avoiding all sugars, wheat, dairy, caffeine and many other things that I consume daily. Along with this "avoid" list, they also provide a list of foods to "enjoy" freely. It won't surprise you to learn that many of these "good" foods are pre-biotics, but for some incomprehensible reason fish is among those choices (not only is there no dietary reason for this, but fish is a common source of parasites). Much of the "avoid" list, too, has no basis in science or reason. It made me suspect that Paragone might be just a other wand-waving fiber cleanse -- and an expensive one at that. They also suggest that you do an initial cleanse before this one -- using another of their products. And they tell you that you'll have a better outcome if you use some of their digestive supplements concurrently. Selling products that sell you more products is a red flag. So I was skeptical. However, I took the product without altering my diet, and had no remarkable adverse effects other than an overstimulated colon and some expected discomfort and fatigue. (A couple times when my digestion was too upset, I skipped the next dose and then resumed treatment.). Well into the first treatment, I was unsure whether it did the job it's designed for because I saw no evidence. But then I saw nematode-type evidence, so it did work. (Enough on that.) I am convinced enough that I have purchased a second, follow-up treatment. But I can't give full marks for the product because of their cross-marketing tactics and nonsensical cleanse-diet advice. I did not find the taste of the tincture objectionable, as another reviewer did (it tastes slightly of cloves). The spacing out of doses can be difficult (at least 30 minutes before a meal or three hours after, to assure an empty stomach), but I settled on 11 am, 6pm and 11 pm. That gave my gut a rest in the morning and allowed me to have breakfast immediately on rising. If you do this cleanse, be aware that you will not feel great for the first five days or so. So plan accordingly. You should do some online research (brace yourself) on photos of what parasites and candida and mucous look like in stool, so you won't be fooled. Candida and mucous can look an awful lot like worms, and a cleanse like this will make you shed them. If you see parasites, contact your doctor, who may want to get samples for testing.
