The Full Moon Cleanse: Why Parasites Move, Reproduce & Wreak Havoc During Lunar Cycles

By Heather Reinhardt RN, Epigenetics Specialist & Wellness Advocate

It sounds like something out of a werewolf movie…
Parasites get more active during the full moon. But here’s the thing — it’s not a myth.
It’s biology.
Research shows that lunar cycles impact melatonin, serotonin, immune activity, and gut behavior — all of which influence parasite activity (Rostami et al., 2020).
If you’ve ever noticed anxiety, bloating, or insomnia intensify during a full moon, you're not imagining things. The full moon is one of the most powerful times to ramp up your parasite cleanse — and finally flush out those invaders once and for all.

🌕 Why Parasites Go Wild During the Full Moon

  • Melatonin Decreases
    Melatonin isn’t just a sleep hormone — it plays a role in immune modulation and parasite suppression (Silva et al., 2016). During the full moon, melatonin levels drop, which weakens your natural defenses.

➡️ Parasites detect this vulnerability and begin to move, feed, and reproduce.

  • Serotonin Increases
    Serotonin levels rise during the full moon. Parasites use serotonin to communicate and mobilize, making them more active (O'Mahony et al., 2015).

➡️ More serotonin = more movement and more biofilm formation.

That’s why these symptoms and more often flare during full moons:

  • Anxiety
  • Restless sleep
  • Bloating
  • Sugar cravings
  • Skin flare-ups
  • Mood swings

✨ Heather’s Pro Tip

“If you feel more emotional, bloated, or reactive during a full moon, it’s not all in your head — it’s in your gut. Parasites are opportunistic. The Full Moon Cleanse is how you take that power back.”

🌑 What is the Full Moon Parasite Cleanse?

This cleanse is a focused, multi-day protocol that uses herbs, binders, and drainage support to take advantage of the parasites' active state — so you can flush them out while they’re vulnerable.
This approach is one of the most effective tools I use in clinic for:

  • Breaking through healing plateaus
  • Clearing hard-to-reach parasites
  • Minimizing Herxheimer/die-off symptoms
  • Releasing emotional and energetic blocks

🧠 Emotional & Mental Detox During the Full Moon

Parasites affect serotonin, dopamine, and GABA — they literally mess with your neurotransmitters (Loke et al., 2022). So during a cleanse, it’s common to feel:

  • Mood swings or irritability
  • Cravings for sugar or carbs
  • Unexplained sadness or anxiety
  • Fatigue or edginess

Support Tips:

  • Get extra rest
  • Hydrate well
  • Use binders consistently
  • Gentle movement (walk, yoga, sauna)
  • Emotional grounding (journaling, music, nature)

💬 Client Testimonials

“After venting to my NP about feeling ‘off,’ irritable, and unable to focus, she suggested trying the full moon cleanse before adding any new medications to my routine. I was skeptical and honestly worried it might make me sick — but it didn’t, not at all! The only thing to note is that the liquid needs to be diluted in a bit of water, but otherwise, it was manageable. A few days after finishing the cleanse, I noticed a real difference — my head felt clearer, and truthfully, I felt better than I had all winter. I'm genuinely excited to do it again!”— Bonnie, 39
"The full moon cleanse was easy to follow, understand, and execute. Water intake was essential to ensure a smooth elimination process. The results from the cleanse were eye opening. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Wasatch Advanced Wellness to further my journey to gut health and wellness."— Jenny, 31

❓ FAQS

  • Is it safe to do a Full Moon Cleanse if I’m new to detoxing?
    Yes — the Beginner Cleanse is designed specifically for first-timers. It uses gentle but effective doses to minimize side effects while still targeting active parasites.
  • Do I need to fast during the cleanse?
    Fasting isn't required, but eating light and avoiding sugar or processed foods can improve results. The Mimosa Pudica Seed Challenge, however, is best done in a fasted window.
  • What if I feel worse before I feel better?
    Mild die-off symptoms are common and often a sign that the cleanse is working. Stay hydrated, use binders consistently, and rest. If symptoms intensify, reduce dosage temporarily.
  • Can I do this cleanse every full moon?
    Yes! In fact, syncing with the lunar cycle monthly can support deeper detoxification and better long-term health — especially after drainage pathways are fully open.
  • Do I need all the CellCore products listed?
    For best results, yes — but you can start with the essentials (Para 1, 2, 3, and the BioToxin Binder) and add support products like Bowel Mover or TUDCA as needed or tolerated.
  • How long until I feel results?
    Many people feel lighter, less bloated, and more energetic within 3–5 days. Deeper benefits often come with consistency over several cycles.
