Parasites that live in the intestines are becoming more prevalent, owing to the poor health of factory-produced meats. They are opportunistic creatures and thrive in our modern-day immunally challenged bodies, which have been bombarded with antibiotics and drugs of all kinds. Parasitic threadworm is, and always has been, very common; probably one in five children will have it at some time, but adults also get infestations. More and more children are becoming infested with parasites, particularly after multiple vaccinations because of their overwhelming impact on the immune system. Travel can also lay one open to all kinds of unusual parasites, and parasitic diarrhea is a common occurrence. Intestinal parasites like giardia, ascarids, hookworms, and amoebas are now becoming very common too. They were once associated with visiting foreign climates, but they are becoming increasingly common in developed countries. Tapeworms have always occurred in Britain and the United States, particularly from cooked meat. The problem is that a lot of parasites are active only in hot temperatures, so baths, electric blankets, and saunas will encourage their proliferation. (Testing for them in a pathology laboratory is usually disappointing, because they hibernate in the cold, and at present few laboratories appear to take this into consideration. People are often “tested” for infestations but the stools are not kept hot, which is vital. Thus the organisms die or hibernate, and the results prove negative.) Colonics can give you good feedback on parasitic activity.
Eat lots of raw garlic, freshly capsulated for children if necessary.
Avoid clogging, sticky, mucus-forming food when you have an infestation, in particular wheat and dairy products.
There are many herbs that can be chosen to treat parasites, and they vary according to the type of infestation; but wormwood leaf, black walnut hull, and olive leaf with barberry root bark, cascara sagrada root, and other vital bowel laxatives and liver aids will work. Alongside this mixture, take freshly crushed cloves to kill the eggs.
For more information see chapter 6 and additionally carry out the three-stage herbal colon cleanse.
In general, colon cleansing and colonics will be vital. Warm to hot water can be used in the colonic, enticing out the parasites with its heat. Colonics are not necessary for children with threadworm, but will be invaluable for those with parasites.
Worming Program
You will need clove capsules plus black or green walnut hull tincture and wormwood leaf tincture combined, half and half, for this program. Capsules filled with crushed cloves need to be taken on an empty stomach; please note too that the cloves must be freshly crushed (with morter and pestle) to act efficiently in killing parasitic eggs.
Capsules should be taken daily according to age and weight; for the average adult, three capsules daily for one to two weeks should suffice. The walnut and wormwood formula should also be taken (in water or juice) daily for one to two weeks—one-half teaspoon, 4 times daily, for adults. Drink chamomile tea daily to soothe the bowel and use bowel herbs to make sure the bowel is moving to ensure the disposal of dying or dead worms and parasites.
