From cancer to diabetes, and from Alzheimer's to heart disease, you'll find inflammation as a guilty contributing cause.    Dr. Jockers is so adamant about curbing chronic inflammation that he organized a Chronic Inflammation Summit, where he invited world-renowned medical authorities to speak on the topic. And today he's sharing one of those interviews from the summit, featuring Dr. Todd Watts.   How do parasites and gut infections provoke inflammation and what are some of the natural strategies you can employ to help reduce your microbial load, heal your microbiome, and thrive in life?    Dr. Watts is affectionately known as "The Parasite Man" and runs the Total Body Wellness Clinic in Idaho. People travel from all over the world to visit him at his clinic and receive advice on dealing with inflammation.    Learn about what to do before a parasite cleanse, why it's a good idea to do one over a full moon, and even how to deal with larger parasites as you help your body prioritize what to deal with.    There's a ton of fascinating information on parasites, toxins, and viruses so please join us and please share this content if you find it to be of value to you!
