Well…

The connection between parasites and cancer is becoming harder to ignore 🪱

A case report published in the New England Journal of Medicine documented something truly remarkable…

Doctors discovered tumour-like cells inside a human patient—but the cells were not human in origin.

DNA testing traced them back to the dwarf tapeworm, Hymenolepis nana.

The tapeworm’s own cells had undergone a cancer-like transformation and invaded the tissues of a severely immunocompromised patient. This was an extremely rare case, but it showed that parasite cells themselves can become malignant inside a human host. ([New England Journal of Medicine][1])

And this isn’t the only recognised connection.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies infection with certain parasites—including the liver flukes Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis, and the blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium—as carcinogenic to humans.

These infections have been linked with bile-duct and bladder cancers. ([Global Cancer Observatory][2])

German physician Dr Alfons Weber also claimed to have observed microscopic organisms in blood and tumour samples from cancer patients.

His observations are still cited by some alternative practitioners today, although they were never widely validated or accepted as established scientific evidence.

Now, this does NOT mean that every cancer is caused by parasites.

But it does mean the connection between specific parasites, chronic infection, inflammation and certain cancers is real—and deserves to be discussed without ridicule or fear.

Parasite control and regular deworming programs are still used in many endemic countries today. The WHO recommends periodic deworming for at-risk populations living in areas where particular parasitic infections are common. ([World Health Organization][3])

It is important to use discernment, ask questions and understand that parasites are not simply an issue of the past.

Comment “DEWORM” and I’ll send you information on the gentle parasite protocol I personally use for my family. 🪱🌿

At just 25 years old, Nate Schwegman was facing stage-four melanoma that had spread to his lungs and spine, leaving him in unbearable pain and with little hope. After joining a clinical trial for an experimental immunotherapy treatment, his condition began to change within months.

Doctors later found no signs of cancer, calling his recovery extraordinary while recognizing the impact of advanced medical treatment. Nate’s journey became a powerful reminder of holding onto hope, faith, and the possibilities of modern medicine.

Around 1 in 5 people are born with a nervous system that processes the world more deeply than everyone else. Not more emotional. More wired.

Researchers call it Sensory Processing Sensitivity, and brain imaging suggests it’s real, not a mood, not a mindset, not a response to your childhood. Your brain doesn’t just notice more, it processes more. A tone of voice, a shift in someone’s energy, the atmosphere of a room, all of it runs through more circuits before your brain decides what it means. The world doesn’t hit you harder because you’re weak. It hits harder because you’re picking up signals most nervous systems filter out.

That’s why you walk into a room and know something’s wrong before anyone speaks. And it isn’t romantic: you don’t just feel beautiful things more deeply, you feel all of it more deeply. Injustice physically disturbs you. Cruelty stays in your body for days.

But the research found something else too. Highly sensitive people score higher on creative thinking, empathy, and reading nuance, and they notice patterns others miss before those patterns have a name. You weren’t built to move fast through the world. You were built to go deep.

For most of your life you were handed a diagnosis when what you needed was a definition. Anxious. Reactive. Too much. Words applied to a trait found in 15 to 20% of people, in every population studied. It was never a disorder. It was always a variation. You were never too sensitive, you were sensing accurately in a world that decided accuracy was inconvenient.

If you felt seen reading this, you’re probably one of them. Tag someone who needs to understand this about themselves, or about you. And tell me below: when did you first realise you felt the world differently?
