| Obviously, severe symptoms require medical attention. But if you experience adverse side effects from prescription drugs that kill parasites, or if you have mild symptoms or simply want to be sure you aren't providing a cozy home for parasites, the following strategy is likely to be effective. |
| Seven Day Cure |
| First, spend a few days eating foods that worms don't like, such as onions, garlic, pickles, pumpkin seeds, sage, fennel, thyme, cloves and salt; while avoiding the foods they thrive on, which are sugar, carbohydrates, dairy products and grains containing gluten (wheat, rye, oats and barley). Ann Louise Gittelman, author of Guess What Came to Dinner: Parasites and Your Health recommends that you: |
| Avoid raw fruits and vegetables (drink their juice or cook them during the week of treatment) |
| Avoid cold or iced foods and drinks because these all cause the intestines to contract |
| Take two or more HCl tablets or capsules with each meal if you have an insufficiency of this essential digestive fluid (which she considers likely if you are over age 40, have type A blood or are a strict vegetarian) |
| Take digestive enzymes such as bromelains, papain and protease with every meal. In addition, support your system with blood-cleaning herbs such as red clover, chaparral, yellow dock, dandelion root or burdock root, all of which help rid the blood and lymph of toxins generated by parasites. Take these herbs in teas, tinctures or capsules. |
| In Natural Healing with Herbs Humbart Santillo recommended taking 2 chaparral tablets every 4 hours for one day, then 1 tablet every 4 hours for one week for this purpose. |
| After three to five days of preparation, continue taking chaparral and, in addition, take 2 wormwood capsules 3 times daily for three days, or substitute another anthelmintic herb. In addition, take 2 or 3 dry grapefruit seed extract |
