Causes and treatment of systemic inflammatory conditions

This post is also available in:

Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, and fibromyalgia are not separate diseases, but different manifestations of the same underlying problem: a body overloaded with parasites, bacteria, and toxic metals, which thrive in an environment weakened by the immune system.

Dr. Hulda Clark demonstrated that these conditions are caused by the following external factors:

• Parasites: especially Ascaris, Uncinaria, Trichinella, and liver flukes, which invade joints, muscles, and bone marrow
• Bacteria: such as Clostridium, Shigella, Salmonella, and Streptococcus, which accompany parasite colonies
• Heavy metals: particularly mercury, cadmium, thallium, lead, nickel, and tellurium, which weaken immunity and allow parasites to spread into tissues and joints
• Solvents and environmental toxins: such as benzene, wood alcohol, and residues from plastics and PVC, which open tissue barriers and facilitate pathogen entry

These agents combine in areas rich in tissues such as joints, connective layers, muscles, and lymph nodes, creating chronic inflammation and immune confusion.

To understand the complete set of causes and problems in detail, refer to the corresponding section.

How to recognize the type of inflammatory condition

Each of these conditions may present specific characteristics:

• Rheumatoid arthritis: pain and symmetrical swelling, especially in small joints of hands and feet; morning stiffness; often affects knees and elbows
• Osteoarthritis: degenerative pain, stiffness after use; joint deformation visible; less inflammation
• Lupus: systemic inflammation, migrating joint pain, possible skin sensitivity; fatigue; possible lung involvement
• Fibromyalgia: generalized muscle pain, sometimes internal swelling; chronic fatigue; sleep disturbances
• Polymyalgia: stiffness and pain in shoulders, hips, and neck, especially in the morning or after rest

These labels may overlap. According to Dr. Clark, all reflect the same process: a toxic and infected body, unable to regulate inflammation and repair itself.

Treatment overview

Dr. Clark’s approach does not focus on suppressing inflammation, but on eliminating its origin. Treatment combines several clean-up protocols and repair:

1. Parasite cleanse

Eliminates Ascaris, Uncinaria, Strongyloides, Trichinella, and liver flukes from joints and tissues. Also removes associated bacterial and viral factors.

→ For full instructions, refer to the parasite cleanse protocol. LINK

2. Dental clean-up

Eliminates mercury fillings, root canals, infected teeth, and cavitations that release benzoic acid, mercury, and bacteria into the bloodstream. This step is essential for long-term recovery in arthritis and fibromyalgia.

→ For all steps, refer to the dental clean-up section. LINK

3. Environmental clean-up

Removes exposure to solvents (isopropyl alcohol, methylene chloride), toxic cosmetics, plastics, detergents, and processed foods.

→ Full details are available in the environmental clean-up section. LINK

4. Kidney cleanse

Supports kidney function to eliminate acids and residues released during clean-ups. Helps reduce inflammation by restoring proper filtration.

→ Full protocol in the kidney cleanse section. LINK

5. Liver cleanse

Essential for bile flow, immune function, and removal of parasite residues. Supports detoxification and reduces systemic toxicity.

→ Full instructions in the liver cleanse section. LINK

6. Intestinal program (bowel cleanse)

Restores intestinal flora, eliminates colon parasites, and reduces immune burden. Critical in all systemic inflammatory conditions.

→ See the intestinal program section. LINK

7. Optional: ozone therapy

Ozonated water and oil help eliminate remaining bacteria and improve oxygenation. Especially useful in lupus and fibromyalgia.

→ More information available in the ozone therapy section. LINK

Dr. Clark’s protocol resolves inflammation by eliminating parasites and contaminants that cause it. Once these are removed, joints and muscles recover their natural function, and the immune system can restore itself completely.
