About the Links Page
This page contains links that together provide information of significant importance in understanding facts about Demodex Mites from various sources.
Most of the links are referenced in articles somewhere on the site but some may not be.
This page will expand to become a reference page for myself and others when looking for information on a specific subject about Demodex Mites.
In the past 5 years I have tested approximately 150 prescription and nonprescription medications specifically with the objective of killing all Demodex Mites externally on my skin and inside my body. The picture to the right was taken a few years ago and represents about 2/3 of the medications I have tested at this point. Medications were tested separately and together at various intervals and quantities for days to weeks at a time. I have not found any indication that anyone has ever conducted this type of test. Note: Any text in the video highlighted in blue represents an internet link and I will have the transcript of this video available on my internet site.
In this video and on my internet site www.DemodexMites.com I explain the results of these tests. I will start by saying these results are in complete opposition to what I was told by the Professor of Dermatology I visited and everything I read online during these 5 years of research about the effects of Demodex Mites on Humans.
Although I tested medications externally for 1 year before I decided it would be necessary to start testing medications internally the turning point in my study occurred during my first test of internal medications. The first test of internal medications included 2 over the counter supplements readily available online.
(1) Pyrethrum which in Chrysanthemum buds is one of the strongest organic insecticides available in nature especially known to kill mites. The primary external prescription medication to kill Demodex Mites externally on humans is 5% Permethrin. “Pyrethroids are synthetic insecticides based on natural pyrethrum (pyrethrins); one common example is permethrin.”( Pyrethrum Wikipedia) There is no prescription version of Permethrin available to treat Demodex Mites internally in Humans. Pyrethrum can be taken internally by using Chrysanthemum Buds to make tea. I have not found any case where Pyrethrum has been tested internally specifically to harm Demodex Mites.
(2) Thujone is a toxin agent in Sage Officinalis and I found that externally Sage Oil at 100% concentration can kill Demodex Mites in 7 minutes which is the same amount of time it takes Tea Tree Oil to kill mites at 50% concentration.( Effect of essential oils on the survival rate of Demodex spp.) “At full strength, tea tree oil can cause dryness, blisters, and rashes.” (Tea Tree Oil WebMD) Sage Oil at 100% smells like cologne and is much milder the Tea Tree Oil at any concentration. I found that Sage Officinalis is available to be taken internally in capsules in an extract at 10 times the concentration which allows a standard dosage of about 6 grams per day.
When I started taking these 2 very strong insecticides together internally I found proof of what Demodex Mites are really doing to me. I started breaking out in rashes and boils in similar ways and locations as I did when I took Ivermectin sometime later. These boils were especially bad behind the knees, under the arms, and around the collar area at the intersection of the neck and chest. But they were all over the body literally between the toes, around the ears, I mean everywhere. Yet they were not just at random locations, they were symmetrical on my body from side to side in location but varied in magnitude.
I primarily sleep on my right side and they were worse on the left side. I felt all the symptoms of my Psoriatic arthritis increase. I felt increased itching, muscle cramps and soreness, numbness, and soon stomach pain increase to the point I would not be able to continue the treatment. The symptoms were much worse than the symptoms of Ivermectin even when I took Ivermectin at increased dosage quantities but still only about once per week. But I was taking Pyrethrum and Thujone multiple times per day every day to begin with until the symptoms became too strong especially stomach pain.
I tried Pepto Bismol but that did not help. After trying a few other things for my stomach I finally realized that Citric Acid would reduce the stomach pain. This allowed me to conduct the testing a few more times but each time I tried to resume the combination of these to treatments the longer I took them the stronger the reactions would become. I concluded I would have to try some other insecticides with hope of finding ones that might harm Demodex Mites without such strong reactions. I found many other insecticides that would start off being effective at small doses but the more I used them the stronger the reactions would become. It would be almost 1 year later after testing many other insecticides that I realize that Demodex Mites seem to be able to detect the insecticide/poisons in the supplements.
Demodex Mites were able to detect the insecticides in Sebum Oil before they ate enough to harm them and react to it in a way that caused serious symptoms. “While insects don’t have tongues the way humans do, when they ingest a solid or liquid they are able to sense it’s chemical make up. This ability to sense chemicals is what makes up an insects sense of smell.” (How Insects Taste Their Food – thoughtco.com) At this point I realized I would not be able to harm Demodex Mites effectively with insecticides/poisons. I would either have to use substances that stuck to them externally and slowed them down or clogger them up internally like Calcium or something that would harm them externally like acids that would dissolved there outer wax coating causing them to dehydrate and die. You can give Demodex Mites the strongest poisons in the world like a Carbamate insecticides in Chemo Therapy but they will not consume it. Evaluation of carbamate insecticides as chemotherapeutic agents for cancer. These poisons will likely not kill them when applied to them externally because they are covered with Sebum Oil which will dilute it beside they are continually developing mutation resistance against it. I knew that hydrocarbons were very harmful to them for some time but I only found you recently “Most pharmaceuticals come from petrochemicals.” (Facts and ideas from anywhere) I also found that most over the counter medications also contain Petroleum in some form generally hidden in acids listed in the inactive ingredients. But petrochemicals will still not kill them completely and the stronger the medication is that does not kill them the more likely they are to react in violent way that will result in chronic disease.
I have found Citric Acid to be the most effective supplement against Demodex Mites to date. It may not be the harm it causes to them that decreases their activity but it seems to be the one treatment that causes the most reaction. Some tests on myself and a few others indicate that even just taking 3 lifesavers per day 4 or more hours apart reduced chronic disease symptoms. I have consumed as much as 10 grams of Citric Acid in a single dose and 5 grams every 6 hours 4 times in a day without harming them significantly. The most effective reduction in their activity that I have achieved at this time is taking 1 gram Citric Acid per hour for 8 to 10 hours at a time. This amount could cause severe reactions for someone that has not spent months building up a tolerance for a very high dosage of Citric Acid whether in capsules or orange juice.
Besides the information I presented about the many various reactions I experienced by consuming Pyrethrum and Thujone together which can be proven by anyone that doubts what I have said I also have found many reasons to believe Demodex Mites may be connected to all disease by the fact that all medications contain something that harms them. I present the following hypothesis:
The Demodex Disease Hypothesis
Most or all medications that are effective against any disease in humans, medications that reduce pain in humans, substances that humans become addicted to, and substances that humans are allergic to, contain at least one specific substance (Insecticides/Poison, Acid/Sulfur, Hydrocarbons/Petroleum Based Pharmaceuticals, chloride/chlorine/Salt, Physical Obstructions (Zinc, Calcium, Dimethicone, PEG 3350, etc.) that is obviously harmful to Demodex Mites. The only exception are the new medications that cause the immune system to ignore the activity of Demodex Mites without reducing the population as long as you continue to take them.
I present many instances on my internet site of specific examples like the fact that ragweed which accounts for as much a 50% of all allergies contains Pyrethrum. Women with breast cancer have been found to have more Demodex Mites than women without breast cancer and one study has shown that Chrysanthemum Buds has reduced breast cancer. Many well known plant insecticides like Curcumin in Turmeric have been shown to reduce cancer. Fluorine that is used to reduce cavities was originally patented as an insecticide to kill roaches. When there was a big disagreement between doctors about using Ivermectin to reduce Covid systems everyone ignored the fact that Ivermectin is the primary internal treatment for Demodex Mites.
In the article Demodex folliculorum: A parasite infection mimicking skin cancer the doctor stated “Demodex folliculorum is a parasite which lives on human skin around the hair follicles. We have found that it can cause lesions which can be mistaken for skin cancer. It has also been linked to rosacea, perioral dermatitis, blepharitis and pityriasis folliculorum which may be due to the bacterium Bacillus oleronius found in the mites. 1 , 2 Recently, four of our patients had suspected basal cell carcinomas surgically excised, which were found histologically to be infected with the mite, with no underlying of skin cancer.”
Strong treatments have significantly reduced the activity and/or population of Demodex Mites. This resulted in a reduction of all symptoms of my incurable Psoriatic Arthritis by 90% to 95%. Symptoms Reduce: all itching, Rosacea, Folliculitis, infections (toe and fingernails), itching and redness in the eyes, neck pain (Degenerative Disk Disease), muscle soreness, muscle cramps, and numbness (Paresthesia), fatigue, pressure sore on back, swelling everywhere on my body, etc.
Was the professor of Dermatology really correct when she told me “Demodex Mites are a natural part of our flora and fauna and they may even be helpful”?
The Demodex Insecticide Hypothesis
Most or all medications that are effective against any disease in humans, medications that reduce pain in humans, substances that humans become addicted to, and substances that humans are allergic to, contain at least one specific substance (Insecticides/Poison, Acid/Sulfur, Hydrocarbons/Petroleum Based Pharmaceuticals, chloride/chlorine/Salt, Physical Obstructions (Zinc, Calcium, Dimethicone, PEG 3350, etc.) that is obviously harmful to Demodex Mites. The only exception are the new medications that cause the immune system to ignore the activity of Demodex Mites without reducing the population as long as you continue to take them.

(1a) Do Demodex Mites Cause Breast Cancer?
(1) “Associations between Demodex species infestation and various types of cancer” states “Results showed that the rate of Demodex species infestation was higher in patients with breast cancer. Thus, cancer – and particularly breast cancer – is a risk factor for Demodex species”.
(2) The next article “Reversal of multidrug resistance in human breast cancer cells by Curcuma wenyujin and Chrysanthemum indicum” states “Chrysanthemum was also found to reverse multidrug resistance in human breast cancer cells”.
(3) This article from Pubmed “Anticancer drug discovery from Iranian Chrysanthemum cultivars through system pharmacology exploration and experimental validation” states “The gene ontology analysis revealed the therapeutic effects of Chrysanthemum’s active compounds on breast cancer by regulating the biological processes of their protein targets.”
(4) This article from “Wikipedia Pyrethrum” states “Pyrethrum is also the name of a natural insecticide made from the dried flower heads of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium and Chrysanthemum coccineum. The insecticidal compounds present in these species are pyrethrins …… Pyrethrum has been used for centuries as an insecticide,[1] and as a lice remedy in the Middle East (Persian powder, also known as “Persian pellitory”). It was sold worldwide under the brand Zacherlin by Austrian industrialist J. Zacherl.[2] It is one of the most commonly used non-synthetic insecticides allowed in certified organic agriculture.[3]
(1b) Do Demodex Mites Cause Breast Cancer? (Continued)
(5) This article from “Web MD Pyrethrum – Uses, Side Effects, and More” states “People apply pyrethrum directly to the skin as an insecticide, particularly for head lice, crab lice and their nits, and mites (scabies).”
( A) The First article states that women with Breast Cancer have more Demodex Mites.
(B) The Second and Third articles state Chrysanthemums have been shown to reduce breast cancer.
(C) The Fourth and Fifth articles state Pyrethrum in Chrysanthemums has been used for centuries as an insecticide and has been commonly used to kill lice and mites on humans.
Question (1) Breast Cancer – Has anyone considered the possibility that since Chrysanthemums contain the insecticide Pyrethrum that kills mites, and that women with breast cancer have more Demodex Mites, that it might be possible that the reason Chrysanthemums reduce breast cancer is that it kills Demodex Mites and that they are the cause of breast cancer?
(2a) Do Demodex Mites Cause Most or All Forms of Cancer?
If I plug each of the supplements below into the following questions I find these supplements and many others have two things in common: (1) They all are insecticides (2) They all have been shown to reduce Cancer
Note: In some cases the fact that the supplement is an insecticide and reduces cancer may be listed under the name of the primary active ingredient more commonly than the supplement name.

Vitamin D3 “Cholecalciferol – A Different Rodenticide Toxicity”
“CAUTION – This is one of the most dangerous mouse and rat poisons on the market. Cholecalciferol, or activated vitamin D3, causes a life-threateningly high calcium and phosphorus level in the body, resulting in severe, acute kidney failure, cardiovascular abnormalities, and tissue mineralization. This can progress to life-threatening disease. Even though this is a vitamin, it is toxic to dogs, cats, and children as well as rodents. Human vitamin D3 supplements taken at high enough doses are also toxic via this same mechanism.”

Question (2) Most or All Forms of Cancer – If all of these supplements contain a known insecticide/poison substance that will kill insects then is it possible the reason these insecticides reduce cancer is that they are killing an insect and that insect is causing cancer?
(3a) Do Demodex Mites Cause Covid Symptoms and All Viral Disease Symptoms?
During the Covid outbreak some doctors were prescribing Ivermectin for Covid because they believe it may reduce Covid symptoms. Other medical professionals believe it is ridiculous to prescribe an insecticide that is also used to kill parasites in animals for the Covid virus without any clear reason why it works. This disagreement became so strong that certain major stores would not fill Ivermectin prescriptions issued by doctors.
During the time of the Covid outbreak I was I the middle of this study and that’s when I tried Ivermectin. One of the nurse practitioners mentioned that the medical book listed Ivermectin as the medication to treat Demodex Mites internally in humans.
Ivermectin is the primary internal medication for Human Demodicosis which is any problem caused by the parasitic mite Demodex. “Human demodicosis is caused by the clinical manifestation of otherwise asymptomatic infestation of humans by two species of Demodex mite, i.e., D. folliculorum and D. brevis.”
I tried it at the standard dose a few times and even at an increased dosage (The approved dose of ivermectin alone not useful in treating COVID-19 ) and each time it caused boils and rashes all over my body but especially under my arms, around where the collar where the neck meets the chest, and behind the knees. Has anyone considered what effect Covid and Ivermectin may have on Demodex Mites and the bacteria Bacillus oleronius inside Demodex?
Should we assume that if someone took Ivermectin for Covid that this medication which is also specifically prescribed for Demodex Mites would have no noticeable effect of Demodex? I also understand many people were calling hospital about how to treat the reactions Ivermectin was causing.
(3b) Do Demodex Mites Cause Covid Symptoms and All Viral Disease Symptoms? (Continued)
My reactions were not for an unknown cause. Unlike taking Ivermectin when I took Pyrethrum and Sage it was not a single dose and then wait two weeks or even one. I was treating them many times per day around the clock only limited by the reactions that occurred and possible dangers.
These boils were not at random locations but were symmetrical in location although not equal in magnitude. They are in the deepest creases between the legs at the lowest points they can find but around the high points on flat areas like the back where there is no place to hide, and around where skin rubs together and any restricted areas like the waist band similar to bird mites I had when I was younger.
It was my conclusion that Ivermectin like all insecticide’s loose strength over time due to mutation and the reactions are due to feeding Demodex Mites a very strong poison that harms them but does not kill them and so they react violently.
Question (3) Covid and All Viruses – Is it possible that the Covid virus is harming the Bacillus Oleronius bacteria inside Demodex mites or harming Demodex by some other means causing a dramatic increase in Demodex activity and the bodies perception of that activity as an invasion causes the body to react dramatically which are Covid symptoms and not the effect of the virus on the body itself?
(4a) Do Demodex Mites Cause Allergies?
I searched “biggest cause of allergy symptoms” and the first Heading that comes up is “Common Allergy Triggers – WebMD” and when selected links to an article “Know Your Allergy Triggers”.
The first cause listed is: 1. Pollen – In the spring and summer, the air is filled with pollen from fresh, growing things like grass, trees, and weeds. In some people, ragweed in the fall may trigger allergies. I had noticed in my searches the Ragweed and Chrysanthemums are related and so I searched “ are chrysanthemums and ragweed related”. I found an article by the The Asthma & Allergy Center BEWARE OF RAGWEED “RELATIVES” .
This article states “Other foods known to cause mouth or throat swelling in people who are allergic to ragweed include melon, zucchini, cucumber, and sunflower seeds. And because daisies, dahlias and chrysanthemums are related to ragweed, you might want to avoid bringing these flowers into the house.” A caution against the relatives’ chrysanthemums and ragweed but apparently no one knows why.
I knew Chrysanthemums contain Pyrethrum so in searching “plants that contain Pyrethrum” I found the link “pyrethrum plant” by Britannica. Britannica explains “pyrethrum, any of certain plant species of the aster family (Asteraceae) whose aromatic flower heads, when powdered, constitute the active ingredient in the insecticide called pyrethrin.
The plants were formerly considered a separate genus, Pyrethrum, and the taxonomy remains contentious between the genera Tanacetum and Chrysanthemum. … The ragweeds (Ambrosia), dandelions (Taraxacum), and thistles (Carduus, Cirsium, and Onopordum) are the most troublesome weeds in Asteraceae. Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed) and Ambrosia trifida (giant ragweed) are two of the most significant plant species causing the allergic reaction known as hay fever.”
(4b) Do Demodex Mites Cause Allergies? (Continued)
Anyone that is exposed to Ragweed pollen is covered externally in Pyrethrum and its in every breath they take. (Ragweed Pollen Allergy – aafa.org) “In the late summer and early fall, almost 50 million people in the U.S. have symptoms from an allergy to ragweed pollen.1 The symptoms can be mild, moderate, or severe for people with seasonal allergies.
This allergy can also cause asthma symptoms for people with allergic asthma, which can be life-threatening. “Wikipedia Ragweed pollen is notorious for causing allergic reactions in humans, specifically allergic rhinitis. Up to half of all cases of pollen-related allergic rhinitis in North America are caused by ragweed’s.[8] )
Its interesting that florist and many others have allergies to Chrysanthemums as explained in “Allergic to Chrysanthemums for Humans” alvarflorist.com
Question (4) Allergies – Since Ragweed is covering millions of people with pollen that contains one of the strongest organic insecticides known to kill mites, and most people probably have Demodex Mites, has anyone considered that it might be the Demodex Mites reacting to this strong insecticide that causes allergies?
(5a) Do Demodex Miters Cause Addiction?
Your Morning Cup Of Coffee Is Also Your Morning Cup Of Pesticide – “Caffeine is a potent pesticide. Although there are insects who have adapted to caffeine, most lie down and die when they get a dose of it.” Do humans crave Caffeine which is a very strong insecticide?
Caffeine is not only found in coffee beans from the plant Coffee Arabica but also in the tea plant Camellia Sinensis. Why do we find the same molecule in two different plants? The answer is known as convergent evolution of identical metabolites. This may make more sense when considering the intended function of caffeine as a plant defense mechanism.
Plants and insects have evolved together through evolution and have had a constant arms race. Insects want to feed off plants, and the plants want to avoid being eaten. This has naturally caused the plants to create chemical defenses by evolving the ability to produce metabolites that are toxic or undesirable for the insects.
Caffeine is an example of this defense strategy and has evolved as a metabolite that is toxic and undesirable to insects, thus acting as the plant’s own insecticide. Since caffeine is an effective insecticide, it might not be surprising that two different plants adapted the same metabolite to protect themselves.
Another example of a plant defense metabolite that is commonly found in our society is nicotine. Nicotine, like caffeine, is considered a stimulant drug and is present in tobacco products such as cigarettes and chew tobacco.
Nicotine has evolved as a toxic defense metabolite in the tobacco plants Nicotiana rustica and Nicotiana tabacum to protect them against insects. Although we are not as negatively affected by the doses that insects are exposed to due to our larger size as a species, in sufficiently large doses, we also experience the toxic effects of this defensive compound.

“Some studies have shown that drinking two cups of coffee a day may lower the risk for several cancer types, including breast cancer,” Dr. Perre says. “There are probably a number of factors that may contribute to the reduced risk.” Indeed, new research indicates that coffee may contribute to a lower risk for developing several other cancers, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, including: Prostate cancer Liver cancer Head and neck cancer Endometrial cancer.
In a 2021 article, researchers in Europe pointed to “the presence of polyphenolic antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, including caffeine, cafestol, kahweol and chlorogenic acids” as contributing to lower risk for developing certain cancers. However, the article also points to “important uncertainties” in many coffee and cancer studies caused by participants’ self-reporting errors regarding coffee intake and other lifestyle habits and socio-economic issues.
It functions as an antiherbivore toxin; consequently, nicotine was widely used as an insecticide in the past,[17][18] and neonicotinoids (structurally similar to nicotine), such as imidacloprid, are some of the most effective and widely used insecticides.
(5c) Do Demodex Mites Cause Addiction? (Continued)
Tobacco plants may contain cure for cancer, a new twist in protein–lipid interactions
Scientists at La Trobe University published a study this week about a protein found in the flowers of ornamental tobacco plant that targets human cancer cells and destroys them. This raises the prospect of the deepest kind of irony: tobacco grown to produce drugs used to treat cancers caused by tobacco.
Mark Hulett, Marc Kvansakul and others from the Biochemistry Department used a range of techniques to examine the structure and function of a protein called NaD1. This protein is a type of defensin, a molecule that protects the plant from fungal infections. Why it also works on mammalian cancer cells is unknown but is probably related to similarities of their cell membranes, where the action in this story takes place.
Why do flammable liquids like alcohol and gasoline kill insects so quickly?
“Flammable liquids like alcohol and gasoline can kill insects quickly due to several factors:
(1) Solvent Properties: Both alcohol and gasoline act as solvents. When sprayed on insects, these liquids can dissolve the waxy protective layer on their exoskeletons, leading to dehydration. Insects rely on this outer layer to retain moisture, and without it, they can quickly lose water and die.
(2) Toxicity: Many flammable liquids are toxic to insects. Alcohol, for example, can disrupt cellular processes and damage their nervous systems. Gasoline contains various hydrocarbons that can be harmful when absorbed through the insect’s exoskeleton.
(5d) Do Demodex Mites Cause Addiction? (Continued)
Why do flammable liquids like alcohol and gasoline kill insects so quickly? (Continued)
(3) Rapid Absorption: The small size of insects allows these liquids to be absorbed quickly. Once absorbed, the toxic components can interfere with vital physiological processes, leading to rapid incapacitation or death.
(4) Asphyxiation: Some flammable liquids can displace oxygen or interfere with respiration in insects. When sprayed, the vapors can suffocate insects by filling their respiratory systems with a substance that prevents oxygen exchange.
Alcohol is one of the most addictive drugs which also can kill insects. Hydrocarbons methane, benzene, and many others are found in most or all Pharmaceuticals and are very harmful to insects in general for the same reason.
Question (5) Addiction – If most or all substances that cause addiction contain an insecticide/poison that harms insects is it possible that addiction and cravings are caused by reactions of Demodex Mites and that strong insecticides cause addiction and the weaker ones are causing cravings?
Part 3 – Digestion, Eyes, Mouth
The Demodex Insecticide Hypothesis
Most or all medications that are effective against any disease in humans, medications that reduce pain in humans, substances that humans become addicted to, and substances that humans are allergic to, contain at least one specific substance (Insecticides/Poison, Acid/Sulfur, Hydrocarbons/Petroleum Based Pharmaceuticals, chloride/chlorine/Salt, Physical Obstructions (Zinc, Calcium, Dimethicone, PEG 3350, etc.) that is obviously harmful to Demodex Mites. The only exception are the new medications that cause the immune system to ignore the activity of Demodex Mites without reducing the population as long as you continue to take them.

(6a) Are Demodex Mites the Cause of Digestive Problems Like Chronic Constipation and Stomach Cancer?
One indication of whether Demodex Mites might be causing digestive problems would be if the treatments for stomach problems contain something harmful to Demodex.
Bisacodyl Laxatives – “Bisacodyl Laxatives (Dulcolax/Durolax, Muxol, Fleet, Nourilax, Alophen, Correctol, and Carter’s Little Pills (formerly Carter’s Little Liver Pills),[9])
Bisacodyl is a derivative of triphenylmethane. Triphenylmethane or triphenyl methane (sometimes also known as Tritan), is the hydrocarbon with the formula (C6H5)3CH.”
Senna Laxatives (Senokot, Ex-Lax, and others) “Senna glycoside, also known as sennoside or senna, is a medication used to treat constipation and empty the large intestine before surgery.[1][5] The medication is taken orally (swallowed by mouth) or via the rectum.[1][6] It typically begins working in around 30 minutes when given by rectum and within twelve hours when given orally.[3]
It is a weaker laxative than bisacodyl and castor oil.[1] … Senna derivatives are a type of stimulant laxative and are of the anthraquinone type.[1] While its mechanism of action is not entirely clear, senna is thought to act by increasing fluid secretion within and contraction of the large intestine.[1] Sennosides come from the group of plants Senna.[3] …[11] It is sold under a number of brand names including Ex-Lax and Senokot.[1]”
Senna Occidentalis Poisoning: An Uncommon Cause of Liver Failure
“All parts of this plant are poisonous. Toxicity might be under-recognized due to the lack of awareness and absence of prescription information. A high index of suspicion in patients presenting with vomiting and diarrhea, followed by rapid evolution of liver failure, would be prudent.”
(6b) Are Demodex Mites the Cause of Digestive Problems Like Chronic Constipation and Stomach Cancer? (Con.)
Caster Oil – Wikipedia explains : “The seeds of Ricinus communis are commonly crushed to extract castor oil. As ricin is not oil-soluble, little is found in the extracted castor oil.[9] The extracted oil is also heated to more than 80 °C (176 °F) to denature any ricin that may be present.” First I do not see any commonly sold cold pressed Castor Oil that has been heated/refined Amazon Castor Oil.
Secondly when they say “little” do they mean there may be some Ricin in Castor Oil? I searched trace elements of Ricin in Castor Oil and found this study “Toxicological Analysis of Ricin in Medicinal Castor Oil with Evaluation of Health Hazards. These chemists conducted this study to determine if medical grade Castor Oil contained enough Ricin to be a health hazard and concluded “ricin cross contamination in castor oil make it unsafe for medicinal and cosmetic use.” That there was enough Ricin in Castor oil to be of concern.
“Traditional Ayurvedic and siddha medicine considers castor oil the king of Medicinals for curing arthritic diseases. It is regularly given to children to treat infections with parasitic worms.[37] Modern medical research suggests the purgative action induced by castor oil helps clear intestines of parasites.[38]”(Link) “The toxin provides the castor oil plant with some degree of natural protection from insect pests such as aphids. Ricin has been investigated for its potential use as an insecticide.[25]” Ricin has been used experimentally in medicine to kill cancer cells.” (Link) (Potential therapeutic applications of plant toxin-ricin in cancer:.
What castor oil packs are used for – “Castor oil packs are used outside your body, with or without heat. The idea is that a castor oil pack is soaked with more oil than you can simply rub on your skin. This allows it to better absorb into your skin. Some people believe using the pack externally can also help with internal issues. However, little or no research supports the use of castor oil packs for internal conditions.”
(6c) Are Demodex Mites the Cause of Digestive Problems Like Chronic Constipation and Stomach Cancer? (Con.)
“Constipation – People sometimes take castor oil by mouth as a laxative. In this way, castor oil is used to help bowel movements and empty the stomach. Using external castor oil packs may also help treat constipation.” I don’t believe there is any clear explanation why a rag with castor oil on it placed on the stomach might reduce constipation. In Demodex world the explanation becomes obvious.
Castor oil containing traces of ricin placed over the Solar Plexus harms Demodex Mites on the surface of the skin and possibility below reducing their activity in that area which reduces stomach muscle restrictions. I found that a boil filled with fluid exists all the time directly over my Solar Plexus and that it can almost completely stop bowel movement when aggravated with strong internal treatments.

Bismuth Subsalicylate – an overview | ScienceDirect Topics “0Bismuth subsalicylate is defined as a metallodrug that is synthesized from bismuth oxide and salicylic acid, commonly marketed as Pepto-Bismol, and is notable for its rapid and efficient synthesis using ion- and liquid-assisted grinding techniques.”
Synonyms – “Other names for bismuth subsalicylate include basic bismuth salicylate and salicylic acid basic bismuth salt.”
Salicylic acid – Knowledge and References – Taylor & Francis “As stated previously, salicylic acid (or as a precursor to the acid), sodium salicylate is produced commercially by treating sodium phenate (the sodium salt of phenol—phenol is a well-known petrochemical starting material) with carbon dioxide at high pressure (1,500 psi) and high temperature (117°C, 242°F)”
(6d) Are Demodex Mites the Cause of Digestive Problems Like Chronic Constipation and Stomach Cancer? (Con.)
Can Demodex Mites survive inside the body, inside the mouth, in the stomach, and intestines?
Diarrhea and acaroid mites: A clinical study
In this study, Acarus siro, TyroPhagus putrescentiae, Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus, Glycyphagus domesticus, G.ornatus, Carpoglyphus lactis and Tarsonemus granaries were separated from stool of patients with diarrhea. This confirmed that acaroid mites were able to parasitize in human intestines, which might play an important role in diarrhea. Like other intestinal parasites, the mites living in intestinal tract may stimulate mechanically and damage intestinal tissues with its gnathosoma, chelicera and feet[17–25]. Certainly they may also intrude into mucous and deep tissues, and cause inflammation and necrosis.
Demodex infestation of oral mucosal sebaceous glands
Abstract – An unusual case of oral infestation with the hair mite Demodex is presented. The parasites were observed in enlarged ectopic sebaceous glands following biopsy. From a review of the literature, it would appear that oral involvement has not been reported previously.
Demodex can live in the mouth and does not require a hair follicle, other mites in food have apparently been able pass through the stomach and live inside humans. Gastric Mucosa – “Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes.” Bacteria are able to live directly inside due to the Gastric Mucosa so can Demodex and other parasites survive directly in the stomach for this reason, and pass through the stomach alive? Survival in hostile territory: the microbiota of the stomach
Question (6) – Can Demodex Mites live in the entire digestive system and are they the cause of digestive problems as indicated by the fact that most or all treatments for digestive problems contain something harmful to Demodex?
(7a) Are Demodex Mites the Cause of Eye Redness and Itching, Macular Degeneration, TED, Cataracts, etc.?
Multiple types of eye drops were tested to reduce redness in the eyes with very little reduction in redness. BUT one eye drop did almost completely reduce the redness in a few minutes. Lumify eye drops which contain Brimonidine Tartrate eliminated redness in the eyes in a few minutes, lasted for several hours, and was far superior to anything else tested.
According to the Demodex Insecticide Hypothesis if this medication is very effective at reducing Redness and Itching in the eye it must contain at least one ingredient that obviously kills Demodex Mites. According to the Demodex Disease Hypothesis Demodex Mites must be causing the redness and itching because Demodex is the cause of most or all Disease.
The ingredient that obviously kills mites will normally be the most active ingredient. The most active ingredient in Lumify is Brimonidine tartrate (0.025%). A search stating “is Brimonidine Tartrate an insecticide” first yields the article “Adrenoceptor agonist poisoning after accidental oral ingestion of brimonidine eye drops” which states: “Conclusions: This case illustrates the ability of brimonidine to gain rapid access to the central nervous system.
This first passage is followed by a redistribution phase with rising plasma concentrations. Children who accidentally ingest brimonidine orally should be admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit.” So it is a type of poison and the hypothesis states “insecticide/poison” because in many cases what is poison to insects is poison to humans and the reverse.
A search stating “is Brimonidine tartrate poison” down a few items yields the article “Brimonidine tartrate” by go.DrugBank.com. It states “Ophthalmically, brimonidine is used to lower intraocular pressure by reducing aqueous humor production and increasing uveoscleral outflow. .. The topical form of brimonidine was approved by the FDA in August 2013 for the symptomatic treatment of persistent facial erythema of rosacea in adults.
(7b) Are Demodex Mites the Cause of Eye Redness and Itching, Macular Degeneration, TED, Cataracts, etc.? (Con.)
It is marketed under the brand name Mirvaso.13 Brimonidine is the first topical treatment approved for facial erythema of rosacea.8”. This article states Brimonidine tartrate was previously used to treat rosacea. Now we know it is a poison that can harm humans and was previously used to treat rosacea. There was no indication stated that “Brimonidine tartrate” treated Rosacea by killing Demodex Mites. The Role of Topical Brimonidine Tartrate Gel as a Novel Therapeutic Option for Persistent Facial Erythema Associated with Rosacea Brimonidine tartrate topical gel is the first approved agent for the treatment of facial erythema associated with rosacea and acts through vasoconstriction of small caliber subcutaneous blood vessels via specific agonism of the post-synaptic α2A-adrenergic receptor on endothelial cells.
Ivermectin the medication that replaced Brimonidine tartrate is one of the strongest medications prescribed to specifically kill parasites in humans. It is specifically prescribed to kill Demodex Mites anywhere on and inside the human body. Now we know Brimonidine tartrate is poison, it was previously used to treat Rosacea. The medication that replaced it is the prescription medication Soolantra that contains the insecticide Ivermectin specifically to kill Demodex Mites on the face.
“Demodex blepharitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by demodex infestation, affecting the lid margin and ocular surface, which can lead to serious eye problems (1). The typical symptoms include eye itching, burning, dryness, irritation, watering, blurry vision, or the sensation of heavy eyelids.”
(Association Between Demodex Infestation and Ocular Surface Microbiota in Patients With Demodex Blepharitis) “Symptoms Red eye – Causes: Allergies, Blepharitis (which is eyelid inflammation), Chalazion or stye, which comes from inflammation in the glands of your eyelid, Complication from a recent eye surgery, Contact lens complication, Corneal abrasion (scratch): First aid, Corneal herpetic infection or herpes, Corneal ulcer, Dry eyes (caused by decreased production of tears)”
(7c) Are Demodex Mites the Cause of Eye Redness and Itching, Macular Degeneration, TED, Cataracts, etc.? (Con.)
(Symptoms Red eye By Mayo Clinic Staff) Demodex Mites are known to be the cause of Blepharitis in some cases and Blepharitis is listed as the second cause of Redness in the eyes by Mayo Clinic. Note: A possible relationship between allergies which is the first cause and Demodex listed is discussed under the Allergies heading.
Questions (7)
(A) Is it possible that the reason Brimonidine tartrate in Lumify eyedrops is so effective at reducing redness in the eye is that it is a poison and that Demodex Mites are causing the redness in the human eye and it is harming them?
(B) Since it is a well know fact that Demodex Mites are causing many types of problems all around the outside of the eyes is it possible that if redness in the eye ball is caused by Demodex Mites that they are living on and under the surface of the eyeball and even around and behind the eyeball and that Demodex Mites could be causing all external and internal eye disease (Redness, Itching, Macular Degeneration, TED, Cataracts).
(C) If many serious eye diseases are caused by Demodex Mites and many doctors believe Ivermectin taken internally in one or two doses kills almost all Demodex Mites inside the body then why aren’t the doctors giving patients Ivermectin to kill them especially considering as many as 95% stay below the surface at all times?
Note: It is unclear even if Brimonidine tartrate is killing or inhibiting the movement of Demodex Mites if this would reduce the redness within a few minutes. It may be possible this medication could “lower intraocular pressure” and harm Demodex but there is an obvious possible connection between Demodex Mites and Brimonidine tartrate through Rosacea. Testing Brimonidine tartrate directly on Demodex Mites might help to prove or disprove this.
When Brimonidine tartrate wears off I would feel some itching which some other reviews reported also. Any time I have taken any strong internal treatment for Demodex Mites it increases itching all over my body from my toes to the top of head and always in my eyes. It was the reactions from Soolantra (Ivermectin) that caused serious itching in the eyes and eyebrows.
(8) Tooth Decay, Mouth Ulcers, Mouth and Throat Cancers
When I went to the dentist recently I was given a toothpaste with a prescription dosage of 1.1% Sodium Fluoride. When returned home I searched “is Floride an insecticide” and this article came up: (Fluorine-Containing Insecticides) “Abstract: Fluorine has played a significant role in insect control since about 1896 when sodium fluoride and various iron fluorides were patented in England as insecticides.
Sodium fluoride was used in the United States for cockroach control before 1900 and was introduced in 1915 for the control of poultry lice. However, the use of fluorine insecticides did not become general until the 1930’s when the disadvantages of arsenical residues on food crops became apparent and the inorganic fluorine compounds were introduced as safer substitutes.”
When I searched I found that Sodium Floride was originally invented as a strong insecticide and is so strong it is banned in Europe. (EUROPEAN COUNTRIES BANNING THE USE OF FLUORIDE) Floride is said to reduce the negative effect of acid on teeth. “Fluoride prevents tooth decay by making the enamel more resistant to the action of acids. They accelerate the buildup of healthy minerals in the enamel, further slowing the occurrence of decay. Studies even show that in some cases, fluoride can stop already started teeth decay. (IMPACT OF FLUORIDE ON DENTAL HEALTH QUALITY)
As mentioned above Demodex Mites have been found living in the mouth (Demodex infestation of oral mucosal sebaceous glands).
I have also found in the past that whenever I consumed 3 Lifesavers within less than 1 hour I would get mouth ulcers and considerable stomach pain. Now that I have developed a tolerance to Citric Acid I no longer get mouth ulcers even consuming 1 gram of Citric Acid every hour for 8 hours consecutively.
Question (8) – If Fluoride is believed to decrease cavities in the mouth and it is known to kill insects and Demodex Mites have been found living in the mouth then could Fluoride be killing Demodex Mites and they are causing cavities?
Part 4 – Treating Demodex Mites
I believe there are two things that are different in this video than any other Demodex Mites treatment video.
(1) I am sharing information about both external and internal treatments that I have found to be effective for me treating Demodex mites. I have not found anyone discussing internal treatments for Demodex.
(2) I do not see anyone sharing information about any one of the four treatments I have found to be the most effective for me.
External Treatment #1
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Diatomaceous Earth
I noticed videos that stated Dawn can kill insects. (How To Effectively Get Rid of Pests With Dawn Dish Soap) Since I was testing just about anything that might kill Demodex Mites on my skin I decided to test Dawn on a small area on my skin that was itching as a result of the internal treatments I was testing. I added 1 teaspoon of Dawn in 1 quart of water and put it on the area that was itching and within 1 to 3 minutes the itching reduced. I continued to try it on other areas that were itching and since it was not causing any noticeable bad reactions I increased the concentration to 2 teaspoons in 1 quart. It seemed even a little more effective and I used it for a couple of days and it was quickly reducing the itching.
In some cases I would have to reapply it after an hour or so but after applying 1 or 2 more times the itching would reduce for several hours. Initial testing indicated it was working better than anything else I had tested at that point without any negative reaction. I had tested dozens of external medications before testing dawn including Tea Tree oil and Dawn was working better than the prescription medications I had been using for years like 0.1% Triamcinolone Acetonide, and Fluocinonide. After a few days I was still not having any negative reactions.
I had very bad reactions at several places on my body where I was not testing Dawn at that same time from an internal medication I was testing. Since I had not had any bad reactions testing Dawn I decided to use it in a stronger concentration and it was very effective at stopping the itching and irritation especially in the private areas with very bad rashes and boils. The next day the private areas where the skin was very soft started to turn red and got very irritated and layers of my skin started to peel very badly and it continued to do so for a couple of days. I knew from that I would not be able to use Dawn at any concentration above 2 teaspoons in 1 quart of water and would even be concerned about using it in any areas where the skin was very soft.
When I examined the ingredients I looked for the one that was most likely reducing the itching and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) stood out to me. I noticed Dawn also contain Citric Acid which had cause very bad reactions when I tested it externally so I decided to order pure SLS to test. “SLS can be found in both beauty and cleaning products. Research suggests concentrations of one percent or less are safe on your skin.” (healthline.com) Once I received it I mixed 1% with filter water and I have been using it for over 1 year and it has reduced itching and irritated boils better than anything else I have tested. I have tested it at very high concentrations and would start getting some redness above 2% but even at concentrations of 10% or more I have never had any reactions near as bad as I did when using Dawn.
When I did more research I found that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a Surfactant. “What is a surfactant in simple terms? The word surfactant is a blend of “surface-active agent”, coined in 1950. As they consist of a water-repellent and a water-attracting part, they are emulsifiers, enabling water and oil to mix. They can also form foam and facilitate the detachment of dirt.” (Surfactant Wikipedia) When it says it can “facilitate the detachment of dirt.” It also means like wax which is likely on most mites and if the wax is removed it can cause them to dehydrate and die. I also found SLS is used as an insecticide. “Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a widely used surfactant that can act as a biopesticide, disrupting the cell membranes of pests while also functioning as a soil wetting agent.” (Mirimichi Green Pest Control)
“Diatomaceous earth (DE) has many uses, but one of the most popular is as an insect killer. DE is not a poison, but a naturally occurring product that works through mechanical (physical) means to kill pests. Unlike many chemical products, bugs will never become resistant to it. Diatomaceous earth is the fossilized remains of a type of algae known as a diatom. The shells of these diatoms are made mostly of silica, and when crushed up, they form a soft, white powder. Diatomaceous earth has microscopic, razor-sharp edges that are harmless to humans and other animals, but deadly to insects. When insects crawl through the diatomaceous earth, the microscopic sharp edges work like shards of glass, slicing open their exoskeletons. As soon as the waxy outer covering of the bug is pierced, the insect will slowly begin to dry out. DE is also excellent at absorbing moisture, so the more the insect contacts the diatomaceous earth, the faster it will dehydrate. Thus, the actual means by which diatomaceous earth kills bugs is through desiccation.”
External Treatment #1 (Continued)
I have tested Diatomaceous earth extensively both internally and externally with some good results in both cases. It is a powder so I have to put it in a water bottle and shake it vigorously each time before I spray it. I rub it in when spraying to help it contact any bugs on the surface and it will stick to the skin when it dries so Demodex Mites moving on the skin will come in contact with it. This combined with SLS combines two substances that can dehydrate Demodex.
Dosage
(1) 100 grams filter water, 1 gram SLS, 2 tablespoons Diatomaceous earth
(2) 40 grams Petroleum Jelly, .4 grams SLS, 2 teaspoons Diatomaceous earth
Note: Petroleum Jelly is also harmful to Demodex Mites.

External Treatment #2
The article (Effect of essential oils on the survival rate of Demodex spp. States “50% tea tree oil (mean survival rate – 7 minutes), sage oil (mean survival rate – 7 minutes)”. The article “Essential oils for the treatment of demodex” contains a chart that shows Tea Tree oil at 50% concentration kills Demodex Mites in 7 minutes and Sage Oil at 100% kills Demodex Mites in 7 minutes. So why do both of these sites list Tea Tree Oil at 50%? “ At full strength, tea tree oil can cause dryness, blisters, and rashes.” (Tea Tree Oil WebMD) Tea Tree Oil (TTO) is too strong to use at full strength. Tea Tree Oil smells very strong to me and 100% Sage Oil smells like cologne. I can even use Sage Oil around my eyes without any problem as long as I am careful not to get it in my eyes.
So if Sage Oil at 100% is still milder on the skin and smells better at 100% than Tea Tree Oil at 50% and they both kill Demodex Mites in 7 minutes at those concentrations why would anyone ever use Tea Tree Oil? I don’t know. There is no comparison to me but yet no one has heard about Sage Oil it seems. I didn’t just test medications for over 5 years I studied everything I could find out about Demodex Mites and treatments for them all that time also.
Sage Officinalis contains Thujone which is a toxin agent and very effective at killing insects. I will be very surprised if anyone smells both of them together and prefers TTO. It is very difficult for me to use TTO around my eyes at any concentration and I sure do not want to be around people when I’m using TTO and smell like Turpentine.
Internal Treatment #1
I tested citric acid in Lifesavers at dosages over 10 per day and at one point thought they alone may kill Demodex Mites. My observations and speculations indicate they work in way similar to Zicam which has to be dissolved in the mouth and not swallowed. One or more doctors have found Demodex Mites living inside the mouth. (Demodex infestation of oral mucosal sebaceous glands) I explained my 3rd video under Digestion why I believe they are living in the entire digestive track. This candy which contains approximately 40 to 80 milligrams of acid each coats the inside of the mouth and upper digestive system slowly with citric acid.
Observations indicate that although citric acid in a single dosage up to 10 grams did not kill all Demodex Mites that even small amounts of citric acid applied in this manner disrupts their lifecycle in a way that the body senses as a decrease in the activity of Demodex having a positive effect that causes a decrease in symptom magnitude. Zinc is one of the types of molecules that sticks to things and may slow them down physically which could have the same effect. Citric acid taken internally may cause them to slow down because it may be harmful to the bacteria (Bacillus oleronius) inside Demodex or it may be because it dissolve their waxy outer shell.
Either way citric acid taken in the form of Lifesavers allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth has been very effective at reducing any stomach pain caused by me taking strong internal medications for Demodex. It has also reduced incurable chronic digestive symptoms in a few others and reduce symptoms of falling down. Case (1) After subject with history of severe chronic constipation took Ex-lax the night before and did not have a bowel movement by the next morning they took 3 lifesavers 30 minutes apart and that caused a bowel movement before 3rd lifesaver had completely dissolved. Case (2,3) Other subjects experienced significant reductions in digestive problems and reduced loss of balance falling down problems taking 3 lifesavers 4 or more hours apart per day.
With this treatment Noticeable effects occurred in as little as 1 to 3 days with stronger results in 5 to 7 days even against constipation without laxative. I cannot guarantee any results from anything I suggest but in this case what could someone possibly have to lose by testing 3 Lifesavers per day 4 or more hours apart?
Internal Treatment #2
Most doctors agree it is safe to consume one 8 ounce cup of orange juice daily which contains 2 grams of citric acid. The directions on 1 Gram Citric Acid Capsules normally recommend taking 1 capsule daily. Two 1 Gram capsules should be safe if 2 grams in Orange Juice is safe especially if taken about 8 hours apart. But I have no way to know how it effects each person because I am the only one that has tried Citric Acid Capsules at various intervals and quantities. If anyone decided to try one or more capsules it would seem logical to start with 1 per day then decide if 2 or more are needed unless they were dying very soon. Orange Juice may be effective but I have found the Capsules to be stronger especially when taken without food. The instructions say take 1 capsule daily with 8 to 12 ounces of water with no mention of food and I take 4 ounces of water.
All citric acid is not equivalent because OJ is natural but other citric acid like in supplements and drinks are produced from a commercial process using mushrooms. There is also a possibility of some mushroom contamination in the commercial process which has caused noticeable negative reactions in some people. I have wondered if that could even make it a stronger treatment. I have been able to reduce my Psoriatic Arthritis symptoms by 90 to 95% because I can take 2 grams of citric acid every 4 to 6 hours since I have built a tolerance to it BUT it has only happened after several weeks and often with painful reactions.
I believe there is a possibility that taking large amounts of Citric Acid may reduce the symptoms or any disease including Cancer based on the information I have provided in my 3 other videos. I also believe this is possible because I have reduced the incurable symptoms of my Psoriatic Arthritis by 90 to 95%. But again I have experienced many painful boils and rashes in the process of doing that. How many Cancer treatments have no side effects? The last Chemo treatment they gave my mother with leukemia kill her within a few hours. I would not recommend anyone attempt to take a large amount of Citric Acid unless their life depends on it or they have an unbearable Chronic disease that is worse than the possibility of having some strong reactions of boils and rashes. I would definitely try the Lifesavers before using the capsules unless you are out of time.
To be clear I am not saying that Citric Acid is the best or only treatment effective against Demodex Mites. I am just hoping that if the information I have provided might offer any temporary positive results that it might be enough to convince present medical science that they may be wrong about Demodex. Then they could start using their resources to find the best treatments knowing what they are really fighting. But until then I think there is a possibility that Citric Acid might have some positive effect for people that have been told we don’t have anything for you so just go home and die.
If I take too much Citric Acid there are three things that can happen.
My Opinion About Prescription Medications Which I Tested
(1) Ivermectin – It is no longer effective at killing Demodex Mites internally in humans, it causes severe side effects and can even be dangerous! When I used Ivermectin internally at various doses I broke out with severe rashes and boils every time. When I used prescription Soolantra which contains Ivermectin for rosacea externally I had reactions of severe itching in my eyes and severe dandruff in my eyebrows.
(2) 5% Permethrin – is no longer effective killing Demodex Mites externally on humans and may cause severe side effects and may be dangerous with repeated use. Nix Lice Treatment has used 1% Permethrin for years it is now rated at 3.7 because it’s no longer effective and they had to create Nix Ultra rated 4.4 that contains Dimethicone to smother lice.
Why Would I Continue to Test Citric Acid or Anything That Would Cause These Very Painful Reactions?
I am over 70 years old and when I started testing these medications I had very severe Psoriatic Arthritis. The symptoms include constant itching all over my body, Rosacea, new Folliculitis almost every day, infections on my toes and fingernails that were getting worse, itching and redness in the eyes, neck pain (Degenerative Disk Disease) that was so bad I would use a very hard neck massager for 30 minutes or more every day, muscle soreness, muscle cramps so bad I could not walk them off, numbness (Paresthesia) so bad I went to the hospital but there was nothing they could do for it, fatigue, pressure sore on back that never went away with any medication, and swelling everywhere on my body that I didn’t even realize I had. I do not feel any of this now except when I take large doses of Citric Acid. This was all incurable and getting worse. Now it has all reduced by 90 to 95%.
