Para 3 is an herbal tincture from CellCore Biosciences designed to help support the immune system, gut microbiome and help the body detox and address pathogens on a systemic level. 

In the current formula,  there are seven herbs (thyme, sage, tansy, holy basil, epazote, black walnut hulls, and clove extract) and HydrOxygen (a proprietary blend of polysaccharide stabilized molecules, stabilized molecular oxygen, polyelectrolytes and organosulfur compounds). Certified organic cane alcohol is used to extract the beneficial compounds from the herbs in Para 3.

The herbs in Para 3 have antiviral, antiparasitic, antifungal and antibacterial properties and the formula is especially geared towards treating Blastocystis hominis, Clostridium, liver flukes and Strongyloides. Some of the other benefits of the herbs in the formula include liver protection and optimizing liver function, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, pain-relief properties and immunomodulating activities. 

HydrOxygen was added to the tincture to help increase the potency of the formula, drive the ingredients deeper into the tissues, promote the cell's ability to heal and help create an environment that parasites and other pathogens find difficult to survive in. 

I have used Para 3 as an oral tincture with my patients in the past to treat parasites systemically. When taking Para 3 orally, it is generally taken in a pulsed fashion, 3 weeks on, one week off due to its potency. Because Para 3 is a liquid formula the dose can be more easily adjusted drop by drop if needed. The liquid form is also convenient and helpful when people have trouble swallowing capsules. 

Recently, I have learned at a CellCore conference that Para 3 can be used as a nasal rinse.

Why would someone want to do this? Well, parasites don't just hang out in the gut but can live in different parts of our body including the sinuses. I know, gross! But it's true!

How to use Para 3 in a nasal rinse?

Here are general guidelines (please consult with your doctor prior to making any treatment decisions): 

1. Add 1-3 drops Para 3 to a Neti pot with 6 oz lukewarm, distilled water. Mix well. 

2. Rinse each nostril with the full six ounces of the mixture or you can use half the mixture on one side and half on the other. 

3. Follow with a saline or salt-water nasal rinse 10-15 minutes after rinsing with Para 3. 

4. Do the nasal rinse with Para 3 once every other day at most based on individual tolerance. 

Another device that can be used instead of a Neti pot is called a Naväge®. It uses suction to flush out and irrigate the nasal passages and sinuses. You can learn more about it here https://navage.com. 

Using Para 3 orally for a systemic effect and as a nasal rinse offers a more comprehensive approach to treating parasites and other pathogens and is an option to consider when speaking with your doctor.
