Detox Tricks: Parasites, Heavy Metals, Toxins | Joshua Macin EP 230
In a Nutshell
Joshua Macin recovered from a severe health collapse—panic attacks, Lyme, mold, mercury poisoning, parasites—after realizing spiritual/psychedelic fixes failed and focusing on sequential detox: first stabilize mast cells/gut with quercetin, binders (cholestyramine, enterosgel), and healers (slippery elm, probiotics); then parasites via suppositories (garlic oil, mimosa pudica), coffee enemas, ivermectin; followed by liver flushes (Andreas Moritz), heavy metal chelation (cilantro juice, wheatgrass, EDTA), and mold/viral protocols (glutathione nebulizers, high-dose melatonin). Testing is unreliable—assume toxicity in everyone—and start gentle to avoid Herx reactions; maintain with biannual parasite cleanses, meat-heavy diet, castor oil packs, and "aetheric" practices to counter digital stress. Protocols restored his functionality, emphasizing liver support, drainage, and avoiding scams for legit, phased detox.

Internal dialogue spun with looping negative dark thoughts. Filed bankruptcy, spent every penny, went into debt. Tried supplements, yoga, mantras, meditations, therapists, fasting, juice fasting, water fasting, drinking own urine. Desperate to find something. Drank ayahuasca, viewed everything as spiritual illness. In last ceremony, near death, shamans laughed, "See, amigo." Realized not spiritually complex—being poisoned every day. Life changed by focusing on solution: detoxification.
If testing worked, we wouldn't all be chronically ill.
Josh Macin welcome to podcast. Connected years ago when host sick from mold.
Life before illness: traveled world competing in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, world champion, Pan-American champion, successful finance analyst in Lower East Side.
October 2013: hit body burden point, complete health collapse over two weeks. Major mental, physical, spiritual collapse. Fetal position, crying, unable to function, panic attacks, no sleep, hearing negative voices. Lived in 24/7 state of pure terror for four years, feeling like tripping on acid without drugs—walking panic attack. Lost faculties, splintered internal narration into five-six voices, spinning looping negative dark thoughts.
Four years trying everything: ketamine IVs, ton of mushrooms, lived in Amazon jungle almost a year, drank ayahuasca 31 times. Did dieta apprenticeship with shamans, isolated in hut, drinking ayahuasca four times a week. Had severe mold, mercury poisoning, Lyme disease—unknown at time.
Initially treated as psychological burnout with psychiatric medications first four months (seven-eight different ones), none worked, flushed cold turkey to go to Amazon. Viewed as spiritual/emotional illness, bloodline issue. Continued ayahuasca despite fracturing him.
2016: last ayahuasca ceremony, nearly died, 25 pounds underweight, fainting daily, emaciated. Filed bankruptcy, tried everything: supplements, yoga, mantras, meditations, therapists, fasting, juice fasting, water fasting, drinking urine. Shamans said "muerte" (death), laughed "see amigo." Next day, teaspoon ayahuasca, bad experience, flew home. Three days from Africa for ibogaine last chance.
Found mercury poisoning and Lyme test results three days before Gabon plane. Realized poisoned whole time, not spiritually complex, poisoned daily. Had mercury fillings.
In bad shape: ate spinach or drank water, belly bloated inches, couldn't digest, throwing up meals, walking dead—yellow, pale, greenish zombie-like.
Secondary issues from heavy metals, mold, Lyme: heal mast cells, mucous membrane, gut, calm nervous system first. Couldn't handle chelators like cilantro, EDTA, NAC, vitamin C—would cause 3-4 hour or multi-day panic attacks.
Started with gut healing, mast cell, binder protocol six months—life-changing, stopped panic attacks, became functional without addressing heavy metals, mold, Lyme yet.
Gut healing: slippery elm bark, glutamine, butyric acid, suppositories with probiotics, enemas with probiotics and bone broth, acacia fiber, probiotics, goat milk kefir. 15 gut healers in "gut healing smoothie."
Quercetin: 1mg four times day 20 minutes before meals (Klinghardt recommends), after 60 days double to 2mg four times day. Mast cell stabilizer, antihistamine. Calms nervous system, allows tolerating foods/supplements.
Binders: cholestyramine, enterosgel, microsilica, bamboo charcoal, citrus pectin, seven-eight binders in morning drink. Grabbed toxins destroying gut lining, healed lining, calmed mast cells.
Went deep into parasite cleansing, released hundreds of worms (photos). Roundworm out after three days garlic essential oil suppositories (smelly, cleared hot yoga classes). Paradigm shifted—actual object as cause of death inside.
Parasites rampant everywhere: restaurants, animals, door handles, toilet seats, fruit, foods, pork (absolute no), fish. Parasite eggs everywhere. Now eats meat, berries, butter, eggs, olive oil—performs best.
Stool test negative initially. Ropeworms not intestinal lining (firm opinion after 10 years, thousands clients). Tapeworms, roundworms, liver flukes.
Correct cleanse: suppositories with mimosa pudica, liposomal formations, ivermectin, fenbendazole. Not CVS wormwood.
Host's experience: meat diet calmed symptoms, then moldy places deteriorated. Connected with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, learned parasites rampant, testing poor. Took mebendazole, antibiotics for H. pylori (tested low positive long time, ignored; shot up after prednisone). Parasite treatment not bad due to anti-inflammatory diet, binders (cholestyramine), drainage pathways open.
Don't jump straight to parasite cleanse unless peak health—die-off releases ammonia, gases, screws chemicals. Binders grab die-off.
Mast cells, gut healing, binders in one six-month phase. Came back to life, stopped panic attacks, functional.
Tried ketophen at recommended dose but stopped after one due to anxiety. First couple weeks give creepy weird feeling, tiredness, sometimes anxiety and tiredness together. That two-week period is an investment. After that, 95 out of 100 people have zero symptoms. Ketophen is non-toxic, non-addictive. Pushed through despite feeling like dying, slept through first two weeks. Woke up able to eat again, no more throwing up. Experienced weird dreams and thoughts.
Binders, gut healing first, then tackled parasites with liposomal formulas, rectal suppositories, coffee enemas with parasite herbs. Rectal introduction enters blood via portal vein, crosses blood-brain barrier, systemically killing parasites. Oral methods weren't working due to severe condition. IVs can do similar, but suppositories effective.
Pharmaceutical route used by host. Many Facebook/Meta ads for parasite products. Two companies AI-ed speaker's voice to promote products; looks decent but fake. Shut them down. Acted as alchemist, tinkered with life on the line. Consulted few doctors, guy with deep detox blog (disappeared). Learned from various sources, experimented safely starting low dose, was guinea pig.
Stimulates glutathione production. Holding coffee enema strengthens peristalsis, improves bowel movements (water enemas don't). Coffee orally is acidic, absorbed via stomach/small intestine, causes jitters from adrenals. Rectal coffee different, no jitters, especially with salt. Clears brain, makes alert, heals liver, aids detoxification. Add herbs, make ozone coffee enema or oxidative treatments to kill parasites, viruses, Lyme via portal vein to liver.
Portal vein connects liver to rest of body, blood, brain. Rectal herbs supercharged vs oral. Medications for babies/children given rectally absorb straight into blood bypassing digestion.
Did liver purging like Andreas Moritz purge. Mainstream science lacks studies on liver stones/gallstones, claims olive oil congeals into green stones—speaker doesn't believe it. Hundreds of clients had life-changing experiences; personally released green liver stones/gallstones.
Andreas Moritz (genius doctor, passed on, radiated light) emphasized liver as most important organ, biggest burden from diet/toxins/lifestyle.
Mycotoxins from mold stored in fat tissue, released through liver into bile for excretion. Overwhelmed liver prevents fat from releasing toxins. Fatty liver common. Liver like clogged car oil filter: blood gets thick/sludgy from fatty deposits/toxins, no space to function.
Blood work showed healthy/thinner blood after meat-only diet, mold sickness, IU/ozone blood filter. Visible blood differences under microscope. Thick blood from poor detoxification, viral load, spirochetes, viruses, pathogens, diet. Korean eight body types theory: speaker hepatonia type thrives on meat. Certain foods caused sluggishness, thickness, acidity. Vegan diet (nuts, seeds, beans, grains, high-lectin foods) inflamed, made sick.
Castor oil packs good additional technique, not number one. Sometimes use DMSO with them to penetrate deeper, cross blood-brain barrier.
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) solvent, never pure on skin (burns at 99% potency). Dilute with castor oil/carrier oils/creams. Shoots attached substances (herbs/drugs) deep into skin, crosses blood-brain barrier. Drug addicts use it topically/rectally for efficiency. Can taste it after skin application.
Zen Cleanse: enzyme-based liver cleanse, consume only enzymes 24 hours, purge night with olive oil/lemon. Forces liver/gallbladder to expel stones. Gary Brecka, Dana White recommend; speaker knows owner.
Andreas Moritz cleanse: 3-4 day prep, olive oil/lemon at night, lay on side in bed, next morning expel stones in colander. Feels lighter after.
Drank Ayahuasca with holistic psychiatrist (Rogan guest), released big gallstones (golf ball size) without olive oil/lemon—confirms not from oil.
Oral castor oil toxic to parasites (microscope: parasites/eggs run away/die). Skin application different effect.
Address intense viral load/mold toxicity: Epstein-Barr, Lyme. Opportunistic when immune dampened (e.g., mold exposure spiked dad's Epstein-Barr). Stress/trauma shuts body down. Sensitive people collapse; resilient ones unaffected.
Mercury fillings, ate tuna weekly worsened toxicity. No one should eat tuna. HTMA hair test extremely high; tester said "how are you alive?" Retest two months later lower (shows excretion). Flawed if not detoxing (like mold urine tests).
For chronically ill, go through list, treat all, assume problems. Use Lyme tests, MTHFR, thyroid (speaker had severe hypothyroidism, emotional gland causing panic/emotional instability). Solution helpful regardless: improves organs, kills pathogens. Test everything, learn from body response. Testing flawed; if perfect, no chronic illness. Wealthy spend fortunes/doctors worldwide, no progress.
Work with Lyme herbs, mold herbs, glutathione nebulizers/nasal spray (fantastic for mold), topical glutathione/melatonin (master antioxidants, powerful for mold/Lyme).
Dr. John Laurance in Florida wrote The Melatonin Miracle. He offers products with 50, 75, 100, 150 milligrams of melatonin. Exogenous melatonin does not affect the body's ability to produce it. Used skin cream, rectally, liposomally, and mixed together. Initial grogginess and anxiety in the morning passes.
Herxheimer Reactions and Treatment Sensitivity
Discussed Herxheimer (die-off) reactions from probiotics, antifungals like those Dave Asprey recommends for mold. Hard to distinguish between Herx reaction and something harmful. Wisdom in stopping anything that makes you feel bad, though some beneficial treatments create instability. Ketotifen stabilizes mast cells; living in a clean bubble (hyper-clean air, meat-only diet, no meds, binders) may calm mast cells. Mast cells train new mast cells; calming them prevents inflammatory responses in new ones.
After addressing viruses, pathogens, parasites, and liver (four main things), chelate heavy metals 4-6 months later. Led to heightened lucidity. Best: wheatgrass and cilantro juice. Cilantro signals cells to release heavy metals like mercury, aluminum, gadolinium. Cells hold metals due to mineral deficiencies; healthy cells take selenium instead. Chelation kicks metals out of sick cells.
Everyone should do some form of chelation, even natural like wheatgrass 4 times a week for a year.
Other options: EDTA suppositories, Amandamide OSR (powerful mercury chelator), high-dose spirulina, chlorella, high-dose silica (for aluminum), wheatgrass (most basic). Castor oil flush monthly handles parasites; senses replication via sugar cravings after travel/restaurant food.
EDTA Nasal Spray Experience
EDTA nasal spray (with silver) for MARCoNS (treatment-resistant bacteria in nose, common post-SARS) reactivated mold symptoms and caused weakness, limping, neurological pain—likely breaking biofilms and pulling metals from brain.
Metal Implants
Titanium hip/ankle replacements generally okay, benign, don't leach. Some have nickel, chromium, cobalt which can be toxic. Dr. Klinghardt and others confirm titanium is best; don't alter existing implants.
- Hair test: flaws
- Urine test: flawed without oral chelator (shows recent exposure, not tissue storage)
- Oral chelation challenge: accurate but dangerous (24-hour chelator can make sensitive people feel terrible)
- Oligoscan: light device on hand
- Quicksilver Mercury Tri-Test
Every test has flaws; assume everyone has metals. Gentle chelation for all.
Spiritual/emotional components: trauma, stress, tension. Theory from Dr. Samuel Sagan (Clairvision School): astrality (digital, non-physical) vs. aetheric (physical surroundings, qi). Past navigation via compass, sky; now GPS-dependent. Digital energy fries nervous system, induces fight-or-flight. Solution: conscious relationship to digital interface from aetheric state (calm, clearheaded, heart quietness)—north star. Be in the world but not of it; daily aetheric time (walk, meditate, breathe) clears digital overload. After 5 Zoom calls, feels diseased—resolved by aetheric practices.
Astrality is one of the main causes of all disease.
Burnout in high performers: sleep at right hour consistently, morning sun, no stimulants, good food, exercise. Stimulants (Adderall, modafinil, coffee) borrow tomorrow's energy from organs/reserves, leading to burnout. Don't identify with external success; ground in self/body.
Parasite cleanses minimum twice yearly (14 days), or annually as in third-world countries (India, Mexico use ivermectin). US testing poor; old methods (stool eggs) sent to Africa caught it after years undetected. Castor oil flush orally monthly.
