Hey there,
So you’ve taken the Kill Step. Maybe it was herbs, maybe prescriptions, maybe that one sketchy cleanse your cousin swore by. Either way—parasites don’t just vanish without leaving a mess.
Here’s the catch: when you kill them, they don’t politely exit stage left. They burst, they dump toxins, they leave gaps where they once squatted in your gut. That “afterparty” is where most people crash—because they skip the Repair Step.
The Science of Repair
When parasites die, they release what scientists call antigens—bits of protein, toxins, and waste products. Your immune system reacts to those fragments just like it would to a live invader, which is why people often feel worse after the kill step if they don’t support recovery.
Meanwhile, the gut lining often takes collateral damage. Parasites can erode the mucosal barrier, create micro-tears, and alter the balance of your microbiome. Studies show that infections increase intestinal permeability (the famous “leaky gut”), which makes it easier for inflammatory molecules to slip into circulation.
That’s where repair comes in:
L-glutamine fuels gut-lining cells and speeds healing
Saccharomyces boulardii helps restore microbial balance post-infection
Collagen and bone broth provide amino acids for tissue repair
Antioxidants (NAC, milk thistle) ease the liver’s detox load
Put simply: kill clears the battlefield, but repair rebuilds the fortress. Skipping it means leaving rubble where walls should be.
So what does “repair” actually look like?
Soothe the lining → L-glutamine, aloe, and zinc carnosine can help patch up the gut wall, especially after inflammation.
Rebuild the flora → Targeted probiotics (like Saccharomyces boulardii or lactobacillus blends) reseed the good guys before the bad ones sneak back in.
Take out the trash → Your liver and lymph need support too. Think milk thistle, NAC, hydration, and sweating (yes, sauna counts).
Feed the repair crew → Collagen, bone broth, and simple, unprocessed foods give your body raw materials to stitch itself up.
Skipping this step is like taking antibiotics and never fixing the collateral damage—you may feel “done,” but your system’s left weaker, not stronger. The kill is only the midpoint. The real strength comes from what you rebuild after.
