Hello, has anyone used the parasite cleanse called Parastroy by Nature's Secret that has naturally helped fellow PDSA member Cindy1 with naturally healing her ITP? If so, how did your platelet count react during the two weeks of cleansing? What was your experience? I have just purchased Parastroy by Nature's Secret and would like to get more details on what to expect. Will update once I try it. Thank you and also a big thank you to Cindy1 for sharing her story!

No, I have not tried it and I will not try it without being told that I do have parasites and this stuff will take care of the problem - that would be like taking blood pressure medicine without having high blood pressure.   Also I wouldn't touch the stuff unless my hematologist looked at the ingredients first, I wouldn't take it even if he said the ingredients won't mess with my platelet count.    Sorry - know this isn't what you are looking for. 


You asked this in 2 places and the above is what I wrote in the other location.

While researching parasite cleanse these were found:
   
"It's unlikely that the average person is walking around with active parasites in their gut," says Dr. Mannon. "I would question the usefulness of these parasite cleanses."

"The risks of parasite cleanses
Not only is there no upside to these cleanses (since no parasites are there to remove), there are many potential downsides. "The risks depend on the type of cleanse," says Dr. Mannon. Note that parasite cleanses are not tested to see if they work or if they're safe. They haven't gone through any type of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review or approval process."

Good luck!

  • ITP since 2014. Retired nurse. My belief is empower patients to be involved as much as possible in their care. Read, read, read & ALWAYS question medics about the evidence base they use.

Have you been diagnosed with a parasitic infection?

Wishing to update this forum thread. I was able to finally try the natural parasitic cleanse Parastroy. Starting on June 22nd, I did 14 days of the cleanse, which entailed taking with breakfast and lunch 2 capsules of natural anti-parastic herbs and 2 capsules of sweeping fibre. I had purchased this cleanse last summer but was timing taking it when having a strong platelet count above 150, having slower time at work in case I needed days off, and being able to work mostly from home so my bathroom was nearby during that time. I potentially anticipated my platelets coming down during this cleanse but my platelets did not drop during the 14 days and a subsequent blood test on day 16 resulted in the same level I started with at 148. That was good news. During the first couple days, I was in the bathroom alot, several times a day. Towards the end of the first week, bathroom visits were normal but I stayed close to home in case. Week 2 was testing my patience due to the increased bathroom visits again and the feeling of discomfort from the strength of the anti-parastic herbs. I could feel why they would create an uncomfortable environment for any parasites and push them to leave the body. I also drank plenty of fluids to rid the sweeping fibre from the body. Some reviews online mentioned week 2, so days 7-14, would be the time the body is more likely to expel any parasties. I didn't see anything when quickly observing my poop before flushing (Gross!). That being said, some reviewers of this product saw parasites, while others noted parasites can be smaller than the eye can see, so one may not see anything, like in my case. Ultimately, my platelet count did not immediately shoot up after the cleanse nor did I feel any particular difference afterwards. This however could be a longer term story as I monitor if future platelet crashes happen or if they cease. I will continue to journal and monitor ITP related details. I did feel more energy during the first couple days and I learned extensively about parasitic flukes, like liver flukes and blood flukes, which can impact platelets. The point of this natural parasitic cleanse was to rule out parasites being a reason for my ITP and to test what another member on this PDSA forum Cindy1 experienced. I do feel that after this experience, I will try other natural cleanses in the future to see if perhaps this product was not strong enough, as some reviews on iHerbs mention like Humaworm and DrNatura. Anyways, wanted to share this for others to benefit from. Wishing you strong platelets!
