Remedies for killing off parasites

Remedies for killing off parasites (of all types) include the three herbs and spices:

• wormwood
• black walnut
• cloves
Normally the green outer hull of the black walnut is used. These are normally taken together on an empty stomach, ideally as far away from meals as possible (e.g. 2 hours after last meal, 2 hours before next meal), usually 2-3 times a day. Your practitioner should be able to advise you of dosage and frequency depending on the extent of your parasite overgrowth. The wormwood and black walnut

For example, if one is treating for protozoa, then one would take a combination of wormwood and black walnut on an empty stomach 2-3 times a day. If one is treating for tapeworm or roundworm, then one would take a combination of worm wood, black walnut, and clove. An example dosage would be 1-3 capsules of Nutri Wormwood and Black Walnut, 2-3 times a day, and 1-3 capsules of cloves, 2-3 times a day if necessary. An additional anti-parasite and anti-candida capsule could be taken in addition, for example, Nutri Berberine and Grapefruit Seed Extract (not to be confused with Grape Seed Extract which is an antioxidant), at a dosage of 1-3 capsules, 2-3 times a day. Clearly the dosage depends on what is actually present and in what quantity in the body, which should be determined by your practitioner, and the dosage adjusted accordingly during your treatment.

Other exampes of herbs commonly used to fight parasites in conjunction with the above include:wormwood and black walnut kill off the adult parasites (enterically coated garlic can also be used), whereas the cloves are used to kill the eggs. If you have large parasites and you only kill the adults, then they will come back again once the eggs have hatched. Be aware that these herbs are toxic, so that it is best to take only what is required to kill off the parasites, and no more. You do not want to cause 'collateral damage' or suffer from 'friendly fire'. This applies to candida treatment also.


• Graviola - a fruit from the Brazilian rainforest, is strongly anti-fungal and anti-parasitic, and is used to treat cancer patients, to kill off cancer cells and tumors.


• Kamala - a more mild herb used for killing tape worms.
• 
  
• Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)


• Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare)


• Garlic (Allium sativum) - Enterically Coated


• Berberine Sulphate, a quaternary ammonium salt - found in varying concentrations in Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), Barberry root (Berberis vulgaris), Oregon grape root (Berberis aquifolium, Mahonia aquifolium), Amur Cork Tree bark (phellodendron amurense), Daruharidra (Berberis aristata) and Goldthread (Coptis chinensis).


• Samento (a.k.a. a less toxic form of Cat's Claw or Uncaria tomentosa: anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic. Part of the Lee Cowden Protocol. Particularly good for intracellular infections such as Lyme Disease.


• Cumanda - anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial. Part of the Lee Cowden Protocol. Particularly good for intracellular infections such as Lyme Disease.


• Banderol- anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial. Part of the Lee Cowden Protocol. Particularly good for intracellular infections such as Lyme Disease.

• Artemisinin - extract from Sweet Wormwood - it reacts with Heme inside RBCs and creates Superoxide radicals that kill intracellular parasites. First used by the Chinese to treat malaria parasite infections. Also kills intracellular bacteria such as Borrelia (Lyme Disease).


• Chaparral


• Undecylenic Acid - from Castor bean oil - highly antifungal but also anti-parasitic


• Limonene - from Orange Peel


• Olive Leaf Extract


• Turmeric - curcumin with black pepper and ginger 


• Propolis (from bee's hives)


• Quassia (from wood)


• Caprylic Acid (Coconut oil) - one of the saturated fatty acids found in Coconut oil - which in itself can be consumed and has anti-fungal properties. Coconut oil is 5-10% triglycerides of Caprylic acid. If you use Coconut oil rather than a Caprylic acid capsule, then try to buy organic virgin coconut oil (i.e. not chemically treated - 'pure coconut oil' is chemically treated). Be aware of the calorific content and also addition burden on the pancreas/liver of consuming excessive oils. MCT Oil is composed of 55% triglycerides of Caprylic acid (i.e. not actual Caprylic acid) and does not require the involvement of the gallbladder and pancreas to be digested (as it does not contain any LCTs like Coconut oil). Monolaurin (e.g. Lauricidin) is the monoglyceride of the fatty Lauric acid combined with Glycerol (in Coconut oil, 3 Lauric acid molecules are bound to one glycerol molecule). It is reputedly more antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral than any of the other Coconut oil derivatives, and good at dissolving biofilms, on account of its non-ionic surfactant qualities.


• Grapefruit Seed Extract


• Pumpkin Seed


• Pippali seed (Piper longum)


• Neem Seed


• Rosemary leaf and stem


• Thyme leaf and stem


• Marshmallow Root


• Many more
An extensive list of foods, herbs and plant extracts for treating parasites can be found at the web site listed below. The microbes section also contains useful information on related topics. Some herbs are more targeted at protozoans, and others at worms, so it is wise to target the right kind of herbs at the right type of parasite.


I have noticed that when taking antimicrobial herbs, it is wise not too take too high a dosage as the last dose of the day, before one's dinner, as it may tend to elevate one's body temperature which may make falling asleep at bedtime more difficult. This is perhaps due to the energetic properties or the herbs themselves (i.e. hot energy); and/or the result of killing large numbers of pathogenic organisms and the toxins released by them which must be processed by the liver (releasing heat); and indeed the energy expended in the liver as the liver works hard to remove all the antimicrobial herbs and oils from one's system. If you are taking antimicrobial herbs three times a day, and the dosage is quite aggressive, then it is wise to take a slightly reduced third dosage each day; or simply reduce all dosages to the same lower level, which is more comfortable for the body to manage (the more sensible and cautious approach).
