PREVALENCE OF INTESTINAL PARASITES

Intestinal parasites remain common worldwide. In the United States, pinworm is the most common intestinal worm infection, especially among children. In the UK, threadworm is the most common parasitic worm, particularly among children, while other intestinal worms are uncommon and are often associated with foreign travel.

SOURCES OF PARASITES

It is possible to get them by eating lack of hygiene, undercooked meat, walking barefoot, sexual contact, through pets, mosquito bites, or drinking tap water! Pork is often contaminated with parasites and worms. In the Bible (Leviticus 11), the One who claims to be our Creator lists pork among unclean foods unsuitable for human consumption. Unfortunately, the great majority of Christians today claim that the law was given only for the Jews in the Old Testament. This false idea, however, can’t be supported by any New Testament text. The New Testament doesn’t remind us about avoiding pork because it was too obvious for everyone at that time.

SYMPTOMS

You may have intestinal parasites if you suffer from the following symptoms: Chronic diarrhoea/and or alternating with constipation, Changes in appetite, Sudden weight loss, Insomnia, Anxiety/Irritability, Brain fog, Bloating, Muscle pain, Sore intestines, Anal itching, Itching on the soles of the feet, Dizziness, Nausea/vomiting, Anaemia, etc.

NATURAL REMEDIES

– Nature’s Answer, Black Walnut & Wormwood, Alcohol-Free. The most effective herbs against parasites are usually Black Walnut Hulls and Wormwood. Black Walnut Hulls oxygenate the blood, which helps kill parasites, and act as a laxative to help expel them from the body. Wormwood helps loosen its grip on the intestines, making it easier to remove the parasites from the body.

Review on Nature’s Answer, Black Walnut & Wormwood, Alcohol-Free: “Was recommended this by a friend. use to constantly turn in one direction in my sleep, got so bad I felt like I’d been on spin cycle in washing machine all night. at worse only getting couple hours sleep per night, then my friend suggested I might have internal parasites n recommended this product. worked straight away for me, took it every night for a week now only take if I start to get restless. great product great service will purchase again.”

– Also raw Garlic 3 times a day or Garlic Max (HealthAid) give good results. However, not all garlic supplements will work. It must be an extract such as Garlic Max which contains allicin. Garlic oil based formulas, odourless garlics, dry garlic in a powder form wouldn’t work.

– Other remedies that are used to remove parasites: Turmeric, Pau d’Arco, Aloe vera juice, Grape seed extract, Oil of Oregano, Bromelain or fresh Pineapple, raw Cabbage or home-made raw Sauerkraut, raw Carrot and fresh Carrot juice, Ginger, Caprylic acid, raw organic Coconut oil, etc.

– Avoid anything with sugar and high glucose/ high fructose syrup as they feed parasites.

DETOX AND HEALING INTESTINES AFTER KILLING PARASITES

– After the parasites are gone it’s time to detoxify the body and help the intestinal tract to heal. In order to achieve the goal use chlorella and a good probiotic formula to restore healthy intestinal flora.

– Drink a lot of distilled or at least filtered water and fresh raw vegetable juices in between meals.

– You can also take psyllium husks to flush wastes and toxins.

NATURAL OPTIONS FOR CHILDREN

Children should not be given adult dosages of black walnut, wormwood, clove oil, oregano oil or concentrated parasite-cleansing supplements. Reliable paediatric dosages have not been established for these remedies, and some may cause toxicity, allergic reactions, digestive irritation or interactions with medicines.

A small pilot study investigated air-dried papaya seeds in children aged three to six who had intestinal parasites confirmed by stool examination. Each child received a single 20 ml preparation containing 4 g of air-dried, finely ground papaya seeds mixed with honey. Seven days later, parasites were no longer detected in 76.7% of the children receiving the preparation, compared with 16.7% receiving honey alone.

Fresh garlic may be included in an older child’s normal food in moderate amounts, provided that the child tolerates it.

• Barbara O’Neill/Living Springs mentions garlic, oregano, black walnut, wormwood, cloves and papaya seeds. However, I could not find a reliable, original Barbara O’Neill protocol giving clearly defined dosages according to a child’s age or weight.
• Living Springs highlights a small clinical study of papaya seeds and honey in children. It is the clearest published paediatric dosage I found, but it remains preliminary research—not an established treatment recommendation.
• Dr Axe discusses wormwood tea made with ½–1 teaspoon of wormwood per cup, but he says that wormwood should be taken under professional supervision, in small doses and for no longer than four weeks. This is not presented as a dosage for children.

If a child is suspected of having worms, seek advice from a GP or pharmacist. The type of parasite should be identified whenever possible because threadworms, roundworms, tapeworms and protozoal infections require different treatments.

Natural remedies should not delay proven treatment, particularly when a child has persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, vomiting, weight loss, anaemia, blood in the stools, fever, dehydration or recent foreign travel.

For confirmed or strongly suspected threadworms in the UK, the established treatment for children aged two years and over is normally 100 mg of mebendazole as a single dose, sometimes repeated after two weeks. Children aged six months to two years should receive it only when prescribed by a doctor.

This gives your readers the natural information you wanted—including the actual published papaya-seed research dosage—without inventing unsafe child dosages for wormwood, black walnut or essential oils.
