Hi. Thank you so much for providing this forum. I am currently nursing a 3 1/2 month old baby but would love to do a parasite cleanse. Has anyone out there done one while nursing? Is it true that doing a cleanse can encourage parasites to come out in the breast milk? Or is it just best to wait until weaning?

I look forward to getting more involved with this and other forums.

I am also wondering about about parasites in breast milk due to a parasite killing program. Would it make any difference if you used a zapper or the herbs? Dr. Clark says that breastfeeding is one way to pass parasites from mother to child and thus the need for continual cleansing. But I am wondering about pumping & saving my milk before the initial cleanse and then discarding my milk for a time afterward, giving the baby the pumped milk and then resuming nursing. Would anyone have and idea of how long it would take for the parasites to leave if they do go through breast milk? I am also planning on doing a liver cleanse and understand that they are usually recommended to be done following a parasite cleanse so I have some concerns there.

Hi Everyone,

I know that this response comes over a year later but hopefully as others revisit these posts looking for answers, this might help someone.

I responded in this thread previously with my own concerns about zapping, cleansing, Wormwood , etc. I am very happy to report that, I like Wendypape had cleased prior to pregnancy and nursing and knew that it was time to cleanse again. I had a horrible skin rash on my hands that would crack and itch - it was painfull. I had profuse sweating (that didn't always smell nice) even after showering and using deodorant. I could not drop the weight that I had gained after 2 pregnancies, no matter what I did. I KNEW that all of those aformentioned issues meant that I needed a cleanse BAD and I had not had one in over 2 years. I knew that I had to take action but with precautions because I too, was still nursing my 19 month old daughter. I also have a 5 year old son who has allergies that have reared their head this spring and he had some signs of eczema like rashes periodically on his legs.

So, I got back to the books and went to the Clarkia parasite cleanse; she DID mention about all of the "talk" that there is about the safety of Wormwood but she does not find prudence in the FDA's claims however, she did state that the Wormwood amount in her cleanses are NOT enough to cause poisoning or concern regardless. I also had the WONDERFUL fortune of seeing and meeting Dr. Clark at a Health Expo. I talked to her about my current dilema and concern. She told me that emphatically that wormwood would not hurt my daughter if I was to consume it while nursing and she said that if I was hesitant, to take a lower dosage - like the dosage that you would give a child. I bought a zapper at the same health convention and went home to get started. I am glad to say that I cleased using a smaller dosage of the Black-Walnut , wormwood and cloves. I took a 24hr. hiatus on nursing just to be safe because I did catch a small case of diahrrea (worms coming out - yeah!!!!). But resumed the next day with no issues. I cleased my son with the kids dosage the following day with no event. I followed up the cleanses with zapping for all 3 of us! Yes, I even zapped the 19 month old because I was concerned about the release of toxins after my cleanse. I lowered the voltage to the lowest level and zapped her too. No issues - as a matter of fact her complexion looked better the next day. Now I regularly zap my kids - my oldest is on my schedule; my daughter, because I still breastfeed her, once a month. I still give the parasite maintenance to my son as well. Everyone seems pretty healthy, all skin rashes have disappeared, sweating is back to normal and I have dropped some weight. I am just glad that all things went well in the process. Good luck and happy health...

Regards everyone,
Erika
