Plastic Cleanse vs. Parasite Cleanse — What’s the Difference?

You’ve seen both trending: plastic cleanses and parasite cleanses.
But what’s the difference? And do you really need both?

If you’re looking to detox your body from modern-day toxins and invisible invaders, understanding the difference between a plastic detox and a parasite cleanse is key.

Let’s break it down.

What Is a Parasite Cleanse?

A parasite cleanse is a targeted protocol designed to help eliminate parasitic organisms (worms, protozoa, flukes, etc.) from the digestive tract and organs.

It typically includes:

  • Antimicrobial herbs like black walnut, wormwood, clove

  • Bitter compounds to expel parasites

  • Support for bile flow and digestion

  • Binders to help trap parasite byproducts

What Is a Plastic Cleanse?

A plastic cleanse is a daily detox protocol that targets microplastics and synthetic toxins that build up in your bloodstream, tissues, and gut lining.

It typically includes:

  • Binders like zeolite, charcoal, and chlorella

  • Liver and kidney support

  • Gut lining repair

  • Daily elimination support (fiber, hydration, minerals)

The goal isn’t to kill — it’s to bind, flush, and repair.

Do You Need Both?

Yes — but not at the same time. Here’s why:

Microplastics impair your gut lining, suppress immunity, and make your internal environment more hospitable to parasites.

That’s why we recommend starting with a plastic cleanse first — especially if you’ve been eating plastic-wrapped food, drinking bottled water, or dealing with chronic inflammation.

Once your plastic load is down and your gut is more resilient, parasite cleanses become safer and more effective.

Why Detoxiplast™ Comes First

Detoxiplast™ is designed to:

  • Flush microplastics daily

  • Reinforce gut lining to block reabsorption and pathogens

  • Support your detox organs long-term

  • Prime your system for deeper protocols later (like parasites or mold)

Before you go after bugs — clear the plastics.
They’re in your blood, your brain, and your microbiome. Every day.
