Natural Remedies for Parasites: Effective Treatments for Better Health

While on vacation, I got a colonic at a clinic on January 17th 2016. The next morning, I got diarrhea for about 2 days. A test of my stool showed positive for E.histolytica cyst at the clinic. I wanted a second test. So on January 21, I got a stool test at a hospital and they found a friendlier parasite Entamoebea colic cyst. This was confusing. Which do I have? Perhaps I have both. Nevertheless, I decided to take DE to clean out this pest. Has anyone dealt with this parasite before? I am curious how long it takes to get rid of it.

Do you know why it has to be a non-metal utensil?

where is the site for the DE?

Blastocystis hominis makes your butt itchy too. I've had that. Maybe other parasites can cause that as well.

Hi, Ben. I grew up in Johnson County! My experience: I got infected with pinworms a few years ago, and seem to have had them on and off (or flare-ups and asymptomatic?) ever since. The first few times I took Vormox, but I think I developed a tolerance to it. Or, as I've read, once you have worms, you can't get rid of them; you can only control them.

I already do apple cider vinegar (ACV) and occasionally raw garlic daily, and contrary to what I've read, they have no effect on my worms, so I got some diatomaceous earth (DE) and saved it for the next time I felt the unmistakable rectal itching.

Predictably, itching started, so I opened up the DE container and started right in with a Tbsp. a day mixed with fresh-squeezed OJ + my 2 tsp. ACV, and a little ground cloves sprinkled in. I put that in the freezer while I shower; I need it to be as cold as possible to counteract the vile taste. Post-shower, I add a dash of club soda and a couple of ice cubes, mix vigorously (the ingredients separate quickly), and start gulping*.

That regimen began two weeks ago. The acute symptoms have disappeared, but every 2-3 days I do feel itching. Hard to tell if it's “the one” or just my butt itching, but it's always in the same place. It's not the crazy-making itching; I scratch it with a cotton swap dipped in white petroleum jelly, and it stops. Sorry to get graphic, but we're here to talk about parasites.

So…I can't definitively say “DE and my troubles are over! ” like I've read in so many testimonials. I don't mind taking it when I'm symptomatic, but I really don't want to be taking it daily indefinitely.

*I've read not to use metal utensils with it, and I have been using metal. Anyone know if this renders it inert? Ditto for the putting it in the freezer?

Any comments on what I've written here are welcome.

I realize it's an old post, but I came across it, and just in case you were to receive it, I would like to offer a suggestion. Itchy anus is most often associated with yeast in the gut. This will require something other than DE; what it requires is undecylenic acid. Thorne makes a nice product that has helped me tremendously. If you find another brand, that's reputable, then you can go with that one you. Hope this helps. There's also a lot of great YouTube videos by Dr. Cohen on this issue.

Hi -- I too have issues with fiber which makes my digestive problems worse. I have used diatomaceous earth with no problems. I suggest starting out with a teaspoon and see how you like it. It is super inexpensive so it's worth a try!

Hi Mike I am from plant city and also use DE for parasites in my pets but I recently had a litter of puppies and was giving them a tsp daily for a month and then gave them a 3 day dose of panacea from vet because they still had hookworms and roundworms and 2 weeks after that 2 puppies died from hookworm infestation so I am not sure how that happened but just have fecal tests done to ensure they don't have worms.

Also they had coccidia which did not show up the first time and 2 weeks later it was really bad so I would not solely depend on DE anymore with puppies for sure.

Hi Stacy, I'm very sorry to hear about your puppies.

I tried DE with my cats, and it seemed to help temporarily for fleas (externally) but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on their worms when I put it in their food. What worked for me was CLOVES. I bought them whole, organic, and ground them up with a mortar and pestle, and mixed it in with their wet food. Not too much, because the taste is strong. It worked with both what I believe were roundworms and tapeworms. After a few days of feeding them cloves their bodies stopped twitching and they stopped looking underweight. My one kitten had barely grown for a few months, and now she's looking fuller and growing again. Don't know if cloves are okay for dogs, but if it works, you should be able to tell the difference in a few days.

Hi,

I read that cloves are potentially hard on a cat's liver. Please can you tell me where your information regarding using cloves to treat worms in cats came from? Also, any update on the success of the treatment?

Kind regards,

Fiona

Fiona, cloves is but one of several natural parasite cures and is found in many combination products. Some alternate suggestions would be wormwood, black walnut (made from the green husks; tincture is best as the capsule form degrades fairly quickly), and diatomaceous earth (food grade, for human consumption). For human use, the DE needs to be started slowly at approx 1 tsp daily and working up to 1-2 Tbls/day. Your cat(s) would need a very tiny dose and mixed with water - avoid breathing in the dust from the DE as it can irritate the lungs.

Given the poor quality of most all pet foods, I always give my pets cooked veg trimmings, vitas and minerals, and do regular deworming. Because we live with them, we likely carry the same parasites and the same microbiome, as we do with anyone in the family. I use DE daily; go low and slow. You can likely find DE dosing for a cat with a net search or look at Dr. Hulda Clark's site for pet and family parasite cleanse. I tend to make my own combo products rather than pay for expensive product lines.

Best to you and your feline buddy!

I had the same problem with DE. I think it could be related, at least in my case, to not drinking enough water. When using DE you must drink plenty of water and avoid drinking too much coffee, tea, or other caffeinated drinks. Another thing is the DE must be good quality. I am a bit leery of the DE sold at the vet even though it says it's food grade I have read there are impurities in some of them.

Why did it make your feet swollen? Did you not drink enough water?

Anyone used diatomaceous earth from this site with some significant improvement? If I don't get a response then I guess I'l be the guinea pig. I'll post improvements. I hope it shreds thread worms or whatever it is that I passed out like whole thread or black strand of hair. Thank you EC

Did you use the ditomaceous earth that you can get at the garden shop or did you order another kind,,,I have considered taking it but haven't ordered any,,I wanted to know can we use the one from the garden shop?? I hope you have good results

I use diatomaceous earth for many things. You must use FOOD GRADE ONLY. You could make yourself sick using the wrong kind. Go to earth works. They have it. I sell it, or you can go to some horse tack shops that also sell feed, and buy it there. It will worm your animals and you. There are many testimonials out there for this amazing stuff. I use it on dogs, cats, horses, and myself, for many different things.

Dennie from Stillwater, OK. Wanted to find out how much DE you take and how long you have been taking it? What changes have you noticed?

Please use food grade Diatomaceous Earth. I have used this substance and this is what happens:

(1) It will give you serious constipation if you don't consume an equal ratio of soluble fiber and drink lots of water with it.

(2) It will definitely scare the worms right out of your gut and into your other organs. Claims of one pooping tons of shredded worms are false. You probably won't see anything pass out of your bowels. It will simply eliminate the sensation of the worms slithering around in your colon because the worms will evacuate to other parts of your body.

(3) It's best to use this in conjunction with a proper diet ...vegan or vegetarian is best...and a diet free of sugar and lard.

(4) This will not cure anyone of parasites but it will manage the condition in your gut (only).

(5) A good holistic approach to managing round worm infection would be to ingest:

-Drink teas containing distilled water and avoid tap water altogether

-Drink original Green Tea daily

- Drink raw garlic tea daily....let a few pieces of raw garlic steep in hot water for about 15 minutes then drink it

-ingest Odorless Aged Garlic tablets daily

-ingest Black Walnut and Wormwood tincture daily

-Eat lots of green leafy raw vegetables (that have been properly washed!)

-ingest Goldenseal tea periodically

-ingest Fenugreek tea periodically

-Eat lots of plain yogurt daily

-DO NOT consume ANYTHING which contains sugar or sugar bi-products...This would include High Fructose items (Worms ADORE sugar and so does cancer)

-Step up your personal hygiene and make sure that you are not reinfecting yourself.... If you infect a housemate, your problem is compounded and they may or may not seek treatment too and your recovery will take that much longer

-Continue to educate yourself about legitimate treatments out there and follow them if you feel it will benefit you

Foremost and above all, please seek help from a physician. If you think your physician is an idiot, seek out the opinion of other physicians... Just don't stop trying to get your health needs met simply because some ass tells you that he or she cannot find anything wrong with you.

Good Luck!

I just wonder where I can get food grade diatomaceous earth in Canada? Thank you very much.

I'm still looking for the food grade diatomaceous earth for internal use. I live in Toronto, Ontario. I couldn't find by myself a store that sells it. I will appreciate the help of anybody. Thank you very much.

Do a search on the internet-it is the only way I could find it. Buy a giant bag, because it stays and it is a fortune for shipping. We got it from a vendor through Amazon.com. There are vendors that sell through Amazon.com and Amazon guarantees the authenticity (I think). Anyway, be sure to get FOOD GRADE-it is not the stuff at the pool store. Oh, and people say to put it on floors then vacuum it up in a few days. I had some nightmare trying to get it off of my floors! It broke our vacuum-don't bother. I have been taking it for the parasite problem (mystery) 3x a day in water w/crystal light and I feel much better. My problem, however, is nowhere near done. I am going to try a raw coconut cleanse and using coconut oil (not hydrogenated??) Make sure it is pure and unprocessed. Let me know how you do. Good Luck.

I bought my DE at a pets health food store. You may want to try that.

I have had similiar results to diatomaceous earth with bentonite clay if anyone is unable to find it. The bentonite clay gives stomach relief not long after using it, but as was pointed out this only causes the parasites to move to other organs and they must be attacked relentlessly by using such things as green tea, garlic, cayenne, cloves, black walnut, nutrient rich food (especially greens), and anything else that has anti-parasitic properties... Apple cider vinegar and baking soda can help with detoxification, as well as vitamin c and magnesium. If candida is suspected to be present (oftentimes is) the mineral boron (borax) can be taken periodically. heavy metals are often present as well (causing low immune response to such critters), in which case citric acid (found in lemons/limes), soy lecithin, oil pulling, and cilantro work well.

Robin, How did the raw coconut cleanse work for you? How often and how much did you need to take? Did you also have to take something that makes you go to the bathroom a few hours afterward to flush everything out?

Feeling much better after using diatomaceous earth only 3 days drinking 1tblsp w/water once at night. Haven't seen dead worms in my stools but have seen pet's dead critters in their feces. Why do some people say worms just move to other organs?? Doesn't DE kill parasites on contact? I bought my food grade DE at feed store locally. De food codex grade comes from PermaGuard mfg. At a small cost in 50 lb bags use it for myself, pets(topically as flea dust and mixed in food) great around house to prevent ants too. It is a white shell flour made from fossilized fresh water plant. Great natural product. Really want to know and am now worried do human and/or pet parasites just move to other organs in body?? Anyone really know?? Please post.

They have it at most any good pet store or feed and grain that has horse supplies. You can order it online as well. If it's in the pet/feed/grain it's def food grade

I've just seen a post in a group from a lady who is going blind from toxoplasmosis. She has had it for 60 years - untreated - and just found out it has eaten through to her lungs. Her daughter is also infected and losing her sight as well.

I came here to see if there is anything she can do!

In reply to Ashley (Bexhill, East Sussex),

Common things used to treat parasites are silver nanoparticles, diatomaceous earth and serrapeptase which have a fairly good safety profile for most people. There are others, but these three are fairly common and easy to get.I can't really phathom how some one goes 60 years without even attempting to treat a parasite like this. In any case she should discuss these three supplements with her doctor to see which ones, if any, the doctor would recommend for her Toxoplasmosis.

Given the length of this parasite infection, she may likely have some severe die off symptoms once she decideds to start killing it, so her doctor's supervision is a must!

To Marianne from Florida: What kind of parasites did you have? Just curious..abdominal, intestinal, what?

Read "the PH MIRACLE" by young & young. Balancing &maintaining proper PH levels in the body where parasites "may not" survive
& 100% personally - I would Never drink any form of vinegar. Highly acidic & will clean GROUT OFF YOUR TILE" and take surface off your floor tiles and wreck your granite clear surface! So why would I drink it? I worked for granite & tile shop for 2 yrs. Just saying - to me there is a better solution vs drinking Vinegar. After years of kidney stones, being under weight & other issues this year - I started reading. Kidney stone from May 2013 kicked my butt into reading reading reading. I changed my diet to alkaline. Drink Garden of Life RAW daily 2scoops. Drink 8.5 ph water from healthfood store from a very expensive water machine they have at store that truly cleans the water (http://www.waterionizer.org/products.html). No more bottled water - I drink 1 gallon a day. I weigh 107 #s 5'4" today. May 2013 - 92#s I got down to due to years of kidney stones, caffeine, eating the sad American standard way. - no more

Magnesium citrate calm- helps me Now everyday since May. Chlorella SUN - metal -mercury Pills - on mnth#3 as well. Fresh -frozen organic peas & carrots & green beans & special magnesium soy tofu organic I eat. I eat lemons now raw-organic & I love cayenne pepper & I quit SUGAR & CAFFEINE 100% no no no junk food. & now after 3 months of healing (I am ready to do PARASITE CLEANSES PROPERLY to avoid more issues & been doing 3 mnths, now = reflexology on my feet, soaking is salt baths, taking cold showers & hot baths.

I cut fruit & sugars out of my grocery LIST! Be alert & clear thinking at grocery store. I do this because I am sick of being sick of being sick. Kidney stones forced me to work hard now & live & eat & think properly & good vs living miserable & in pain & depressed & weak & low energy FOR YEARS!!!! 1986-2013. Peace & best wishes to all P.S. I recommend as well AYURVEDIC FOR COMPLETE HEALING OF BODY&MIND - will change anyones life who is willing. Thank you & I truly wish all Peace in their lives.

You are right that most vinegar is not great, but that's because generally it's Acetic acid. Cider vinegar as mentioned above is predominantly Malic acid which, unlike Acetic acid, becomes alkaline in the body.

Hi everybody, I just wonder if the zapper is really dangerous for health? Does anybody have evidence of the side effects of the zapper to the health? I'm asking this question because I want to give it a try. Thank you very much.

Still no answers about the side effect from the zapper? My grandfather who is 98 years old now was tortured by The French army using a high electric current on his both ears during the Algerian revolution in 1954 when he was 22 years old and he never had any problems after that except the pain during the torture. He is healthy like a young guy. So if a huge electric current used in the torture rooms had no side effect in my grandfather's health, I don't think a small zapper will be dangerous. I appreciate any information regarding the side effect of the zapper. Thank you very much.

Well I'll tell a little about my experience with the zapper. I bought the terminator II from Don Croft, it uses a low current. I bought it for, I guess a quick fix because it said while using it candida symptoms quickly disappear. I have been using it for almost two months and the only thing I really noticed was better sleep and waking up more refreshed. Then again I'm only 21 with no real serious health concerns so that's all I can say. I don't really have anything bad to say about it.

I have read about Hulda Clark and the zapper on Amazon but I don't know much about it. No idea whether it is worth buying or making one? Maybe someone might give us more information! I consider buying the book.

Francisca:
You're in luck! You can read the book for free, at your own pace, right on scribd.com here. No need to sign in:

Use the Next Page Down black arrow at the bottom to go to Page i, where there's the Chapter starting Page 19 about the Zapper & how to build. Further on it lists every condition, disease, and malady it's used for, dozens of them!

Hulda Clark did die of cancer, so I would put my energy into other more sound remedies.

Hello! I am going to put my 2 cents into this: whomever wants to get a zapper should go on youtube to check on Bob Beck protocol and listen carefully to his presentation. The first time, I met Bob Beck in the late 70 for a presentation of a very simple device that was the size of a walkman: it was a bio feedback who worked perfectly well for years until somebody stole it from me to my great regret. At the time Dr (yes he had that title but not in medicine and I didn't hear him using it) Bob Beck told us that after successful tests done in Berkeley or San Francisco with Dr Kamiya. They decided to GIVE the blue print to the public. And for those who were not mechanically savvy, he built a few on his kitchen table to sell for a ridiculously reasonable price. That's the one I bought, I think it was like 50 bucks. All the devices that he invented he tested on himself. Later, I met him for other presentations several other times when he was working on his other inventions including his zapper. Now I have to tell you, he was a big man, overweight at the beginning and for several years because of bad knees he used an electrical wheel chair to move around. Well, when he presented his "zapper", blood electrifier and protocol he had lost most of his excess weight and was walking! He still had problem with his cartilage in his knees but his hair was less gray and he was looking younger than 20 years earlier: he did use his invention on himself! True to himself he GAVE the blueprint for all to copy and use. In the U. S and in Germany there are manufacturers of his inventions. I plan to get the German one because of it small size and convenience of use but, it is really pricey, around 400 in dollars. Hoping that this long post didn't try your patience and gave you the incentive to check for yourself. Peace!

Hi Rob, I don't know what to make of some of your comments on here, but I would just like to say that if you research, you will find that there are MEDICAL DOCTORS that die from what they treat also. Like heart medical doctors that die from heart disease and cancer doctors that die of cancer. One thing that is for sure, we will all die someday of something. What it is will be determined. Anything you read you will find conflicting information on. Maybe Ms. Clark did die of cancer. So now she is labeled a Quack. So are the cancer doctors that have died of cancer, also quacks?

My belief is that if cancer is genetic, you are doomed anyway, But and this is a big but, if it is from toxic overload as alot of todays cancer are, then there are natural remedies that may cure these cancers. I am not trying to be ugly to you, I am just stating my opinion as I am sure you are.

Point taken... Though I will refer you to wiki, so you can evaluate for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulda_Regehr_Clark

Time is of essence when one is battling cancer, & for one to sell/profit from unsound claims is beyond objectionable. Having lost a loved one recently to cancer where certain natural therapies had no effect at all, I am of the opinion that one needs not close themselves off to possibilities but research them with much more vigor... & in doing so if the evidence is still shaky and unsound then one should put this energy elsewhere. BOTH the medical establishment & natural medicine field are filled with self profiteers. Still if you feel her evidence is sound please point me to some REAL studies of REAL people who were properly diagnosed and cured from her Zapper. I am always open to proper reason.

I would also like to add that the cancer doctors you mentioned that died of cancer didn't make claims such as: "The Cure For All Advanced Cancers". Think about this for a moment... She profited greatly from these claims... Did she have the cure for all advanced cancers? If you make these claims and they are not true then are you deserving of the title "Quack"?

Is there any truth to what she says... Maybe.. Perhaps some parasites can cause cancer.. Perhaps some voltage applied to the body can kill viruses.... A cure for all? Definitely not... She profited from false hopes & that is objectionable!

Fair enough Rob, I can see where you are coming from. I was never trying to be mean about it, but the quack watch people say that chiropractors are quacks also and I know for a fact, that I have seen people crippled with pain get up and walk out straight. My dad was one of them, this after he went to a medical doctor that just gave him pain pills and antibiotics, because he thought it was his kidneys. This is why we have super bugs floating around now, medical doctors over prescribing antibiotics.

Hi Rob, You are right about the false claims. I just gave a look about how much money did Dr Hulda Clark make is incredible. There is also alot of AIDS patients almost died from her remedies and false claims. The other reason I believe that Dr Hulda Clark was a charlatan because of the zapper which was invented by Dr Bob Beck and gained success with Hulda Clark marketing. Me I'm in the middle, I believe that some pharmaceutical drugs are extremely important as well as some holistic approach. However, just recently I read a scientific article from a Polish University where it says that Zapping kills Candida in vitro. And that's why I asked if any body used the Zapper against Fungus infection. As I did mention before Candida doesn't have any cellulose membrane and yet a lot of companies are selling enzymes claimed to destroy the cellulose of Candida. Also, I'm very skeptical about the Alkaline theory because there is 0 proof that the blood can become alkaline. It's just a myth but people do believe in those myths. The Blood PH can not change more that 7. 4. Any change means death ( Alkaline or acidic).

Labes from Toronto you don't know what you are talking about. I'm a former Neonatal ICU RN and I've seem some incredible blood pH values, 7.1 to 7.8, and the kids are still alive. It's not an automatic death.

Also, when people are referring to pH, they are referring to urine pH which they catch on their second urine of the day. There's a posting above that reports when they first checked their urine it was 5.5pH. They track urine pH while they take Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda to normalize their urine pH, which seems to be effective for the purpose.

I made a zapper from Hulda Clark's directions in her book. I don't know if it ever worked, but eventually I bought one from Clark, and I could actually FEEL the current. I have "chronic fatigue syndrome" (who knows what's really wrong with me! ) and it has helped enormously. Every time I feel myself getting a cold (they last for months for me), I Zap. I am much better now. I haven't had a respiratory infection for over a year! That zapper died (I used it for probably 5 years or so) and got a new different one that someone on this site mentioned. It was only $100, but I can not feel the current, so I often wonder if it works or not. Anyway.... I swear by zappers. Only trouble is some of them only work on organs, some on the bloodstream.. Do your research. They also have zappers that can take preprogrammed flashdrive like things for specific ailments. I gize zappers a thumbs up! Just google zappers.

Did you see physical proof that it killed the worms? Sorry, don't mean to be gross but I have been really interested in zappers for quite some time but have yet to buy one. Thanks

Dear Mary, Ppinworms can be controled easily by fresh garlic. The problem with pinworms is that they can be a vector to Dientamoeba. fragilis that can causes Dientaoebiasis which is a very bad disease, usually mistaken for Crohn's disease or IBS or Colitis.

2 g of secnidazol or 1500 mg of humatin can work better.

If the above doesn't work, contact me for more stubborn cases at: [email protected]. All the best.

I have the Hulda Clark Zapper. I also followed the HC parasite protocol, but it was too strong for me and I had to decrease the amount of pills I was taking. Here's what I know about the zapper. I had radiation for cancer eight years ago. My stomach was so bloated after that, and my doctor said I had yeast. She gave me Diflucan one tab every week for seven years. It helped a little but I kept getting more and more bloated. I found that Not only did I have yeast but I had all kinds of parasites . When I went in search of a cure I found Hulda Clark among others. If you zap daily as in her book your bloating will go away after three or four days. That was all the proof I needed. If I feel better that's good enough for me. I am on a 4 drop per hour MMS protocol for COPD. The MMS doesn't kill the parasites. Only a few types. The HC routine with Walnut Hull, Wormwood and Clove works and is the ingredients in most other brand parasite cleanses. I guess you have all forgotten that we use electric shock therapy on psychiatric patients that are depressed in this country. Google it and you will see yet. Using the zapper is no more than sticking your tongue to a 9 V battery as we all did as children. It is safe. Blessings to all in our joint crusade for health!!

As to your copd. My husband has it, and last year was using the nebulizer more than once a day, plus the puffers. Couldn't do much of anything. Convinced him to have his silver fillings out: He is almost 100%. He takes his long term inhalers, and 5mg pred./day, but is outworking me.
