Support The Skin Barrier
When you have mites — whether scabies, Demodex, or another skin-invading species — supporting the skin barrier becomes just as important as eliminating the parasites themselves.
Mites cause mechanical damage (burrowing, feeding) and chemical irritation (waste products, saliva enzymes), which break down the outer layer of the skin (stratum corneum). If the barrier stays compromised, you’re more prone to secondary infections, inflammation, and slower healing.
Treat Endoparasites

Treating internal parasites can be surprisingly important when you’re dealing with mites — even though mites are external, there’s a strong inside–outside connection that affects how severe infestations become and how well you recover.
The most important link is that both endoparasites and ectoparasites thrive in the same conditions. Recurrence of re-infestation has more to do with the conditions of the ‘terrain’ post treatment that treatment failure.
Clean The Terrain

Clean The Terrain
If your internal terrain is congested, inflamed, and nutrient-depleted, mite treatment becomes a constant uphill battle.
If you have mites — whether scabies, Demodex, or other skin-invading species — cleaning up the internal terrain is one of the most important but overlooked steps.
The goal is to make your body less hospitable to both ectoparasites (mites) and endoparasites (internal parasites) by reducing toxins, strengthening immunity, and restoring nutrient balance.
Clear The Waste
Breakup The Biofilm
Clean The Terrain
After mite treatment — whether for scabies, Demodex, or another species — your skin and body are left with more than just dead mites. There’s waste, debris, biofilm, and inflammatory residue that can keep symptoms going even after the infestation is gone. Clearing that waste is essential to avoid lingering itching, rashes, and recurrence.
Clearing mite waste is as much about drainage and detox as it is about skin repair. If debris stays trapped, you can get “post-scabies syndrome” or “post-Demodex flare” — itching and inflammation that feel like a reinfestation even when the mites are gone.
Breakup The Biofilm

Breakup The Biofilm
Breaking up biofilm is one of the most overlooked but powerful steps in mite recovery — whether you’re dealing with scabies, Demodex, or other skin mites.
Biofilm is a sticky, protective layer made of proteins, polysaccharides, and DNA, created by microbes (bacteria, fungi, parasites) to shield themselves from the immune system and treatments.
When biofilm is present on the skin or in the body, it can directly or indirectly help mites survive and cause symptoms.
Raise The PH

Raising — or more accurately, optimizing — your body’s pH can be important if you have mites because both internal and skin-surface acidity levels influence immune function, microbial balance, and the skin barrier’s resilience.
Mites don’t just exploit a weakened immune system — they also thrive in imbalanced pH environments.
By supporting a slightly alkaline internal terrain and protecting the skin’s natural acid mantle, you make both the inside and outside far less hospitable to them.
Sample Daily Protocol
Morning
- Hydration — Drink a large glass of water mineralized with fulvic acid upon waking. Take medications two hours before or after fulvic acid.
- Lymph Movement — stimulate the 7 lymphatic drainage centers; above the collar bones, under the jawline at ears, in the armpit ’pit’, above the navel, in the groin area, behind the knee in the ‘pit’, under the ankle in the hollow, followed by 5–10 minutes of dry brushing toward the 7 centers or on a vibration plate or rebounder.
- Greens — green juice, skin supporting green tincture, or chlorella and spirulina tablets or tincture on an empty stomach.
- Biofilm Disruption Externally —Apply a mild enzyme cleanser (papain or bromelain), sulphur lotion, and sulphur mask to treatment areas as directed; rinse.
- Biofilm Disruption Internally — Colloidal silver internally 1 tsp/3x a day for 7 days, externally on affected areas. Can be added to green juice and drank on an empty stomach.
- Topical Kill Step — Sulfur soak, sulfur soap or tea tree wash; leave on 5–10 minutes before rinsing if in shower or on face, do not rinse if in bath (this creates an inhospitable barrier).
- Skin pH Reset — Light rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar or aloe vera gel.
- Moisturize — Ceramides including jojoba oil or olive oil to protect the skin barrier.
- Immune Support — Take supplements (vitamin C, zinc, omega-3s) with breakfast and eat eggs, fatty fish, chia seeds and soy products.
- Clean Clothes — Put on clean clothes daily, preferably loose, breathable, natural fabrics like linen or cotton.
Midday
- Hydration — Another glass of water mineralized with fulvic acid.
- Anti-inflammatory Boost — Include greens, turmeric, and healthy fats in lunch.
- Binder Dose — Bentonite clay, or zeolite two hours away from meals.
- Light Movement — Walk or stretch to keep lymph flowing.
Bedtime
- Lymph Movement — stimulate the 7 lymphatic drainage centers followed by 5–10 minutes of dry brushing toward the direction of the 7 centers; above the collar bones, under the jawline at ears, in the armpit ’pit’, above the navel, in the groin area, behind the knee in the ‘pit’, under the ankle in the hollow.
- Kill Step — sulfur soak, sulfur soap or tea tree wash; leave on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing In shower, do not rinse if in bath.
- Calm & Soothe — Apply calendula oil with tea tree and lavender oil, aloe vera gel, or green tea compresses to irritated areas.
- Environment Hygiene — Change pillowcase and sheets, wear clean sleepwear.
- Prevent — Spray sheets and bedding with lavender essential oil spray.
Daily Care
- Treat the Scalp — Spray hair with apple cider vinegar daily in between prescribed or over the counter scalp treatments.
- Red Light Therapy — Daily at first, then weekly.
- Sunlight Exposure — 5-10 minutes building up to 15 minutes, early in the morning or late afternoon on exposed skin without sunscreen.
- Clean Personal Items — Wipe down eye glasses, keyboards, desks and chairs, phones, ipads, gaming consoles, and any other commonly touched item or area with diluted hydrogen peroxide 1 part to 3 parts water or use hydrogen peroxide wipes.
- Clean Your Car — Vacuum car and wipe down hand held items like steering wheel and gear shift with diluted hydrogen peroxide 1 part to 2 parts water or use a hydrogen peroxide wipe. You will find this duplicated on the Weekly Care list. As treatment progresses and the population visibly dies down you can stop this step daily and do it weekly.
- Vacuum Every Day — Vacuum common areas and sleeping areas daily. Dispose of the canister waste outside, away from living quarters.
Weekly Care
- Sweat — Sauna and/or steam — removes toxins and waste.
- Red Light Therapy — stimulates cellular healing.
- Exfoliate — Exfoliation with textured gloves, an organic sugar scrub, bentonite clay, coffee grounds to remove dead skin cells, loosen embedded debris, open pores and detox pathways, promote penetration of products to heal skin barrier.
- UV Light Sanitization — use of UV light in common areas, bedrooms, near pet areas.
- Clean Your Car — Vacuum car and wipe down hand held items like steering wheel and gear shift with diluted hydrogen peroxide 1 part to 2 parts water or use a hydrogen peroxide wipe.
