No, stay away from such trends. If you have symptoms, see your doc for an exam and possible tests if needed. Parasite related disease is relatively rare, nothing to treat unless proven by tests.

If you have not travelled to a poor country , you do not have parasites. Whatever you read/saw on ticktok is likely to do more damage than help. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
