From crippling illness and psychiatric meds to discovering the hidden world of parasites, Joshua Macin has lived through a transformation few could imagine. After years of panic attacks, depression, and a desperate search through Western medicine and plant medicines, Joshua uncovered the link between toxicity, parasites, and chronic illness — and turned his suffering into a mission to help others reclaim sovereignty over their health.
In this episode, Joshua and Darin dive into the misunderstood role of parasites, the terrain theory of health, and the warrior's path of detox. They also explore protocols, from castor oil to coffee enemas, that can help clear the body and reset the nervous system, along with the deeper spiritual journey that comes when the body is no longer hijacked by hidden invaders.
