Deworming yourself?
 

Does anyone here regularly deworm themselves? Apparently a couple generations ago it was common practice to deworm yourself and your children once per year.

I'm thinking about trying a herbal dewormer. The best two I've been able to find information about online are:

Too bad there's no (known) herbal de-wormer (anthelmintic) to eliminate PACs and corrupt politicians from positions of leadership.

Back on topic: pumpkin seeds are a good option for routine maintenace... btw, if the area around your neather region itches it's an indication that you have un-invited guests.

if you want to deworm yourself on a regular basis eat underripe paw paw/papaya

And now, bordering on disgusting but valuable info:

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

I've taken an herbal dewormer similar to the one you posted.

Some very disturbing stuff came out of me.

But truthfully, I didn't feel any different afterward and I've never been convinced it was 'healthy' or beneficial. It seems to me that a person's everyday diet determines their health much more than any pill, powder, or cleanse ever will. And even without these measures, a body will cleanse itself and heal with proper nutrition.

It was kinda interesting to see strange sea creature looking things in my toilet though.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

I've used Dr. Schulze's herbal formulas "Intestinal Formula # 1" (if you are at all constipated you use this to get good regular BMs prior to deworming/detoxifying) and "Intestinal Formula #2" (which contains, among other ingredients, pharmaceutical grade bentonite clay).

Information about them can be found at here.

Of course my situation is a bit different than most since I only started using these supplements after I had undergone chemo/radiation therapy for colorectal cancer, so I can't say I've had a 'normal' experience with them, but they do seem to work as advertised. I had already lost ~40 lbs and do not really have a lot of excess material left in my colon, but I wanted to do some detox to get rid of any residual chemo drugs and to help slough off any dead/dying cancer cells.

Another popular product that seems to have a large number of testimonials as to its effectiveness is Colonix from here. The site also has graphic pictures of the results of using their product. Eck!

Hope this helps.

I don't see why you bother to wash your hands.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

This has got to be one of the most disturbing threads I have read on GIM!

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

So I'm reading these Colonix testimonials and looking at the nasty photo's and I'm wondering, what the hell is this stuff?

Call me crazy but it seems to me like whatever it is they are taking is turning their normal bowel movements into rubbery shits, and they they think they're cured.

Can anyone point me to anything that explains what the hell is coming out of these people?

*edit*

Looks like my suspicion might be confirmed?

I'm surprised I found this so quickly with a google search.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

Ya I looked into that Colonix stuff a while back and I came to the conclusion that the Colonix formula itself is what causes the weird bowel movements, it's not removing anything that was there before.

I'm not particularly interested in bowel cleansers, but parasite killing herbal formulas.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

Don't eat fecal matter, cook all meat, and wash your hands immediately after using the bathroom. Ta-da!! No worms!

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

My grandfather always gave some chewing tobacco to his horses once a year. He said it took care of any worms they had.

Hulda Clark Formula: Green walnut hulls, wormwood, and powdered cloves~~~~~~~~Think the ratio was 2 2 1

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

Windex! :signs14:

BTW, Ringworm is a dermatophytosis, a fungus of the skin, not a worm.

We test several dozen stools per day for ova and parasites: we virtually never find any [worms or their eggs]. I can't get the doctors to give up their precious tests which are bankrupting us all. But when the hammer falls, and it will, the medical staff will come to me in desperation and say: "what can we do; how can we keep the hospital functioning, please tell us!" And I know what my first response will be: all Ova and Parasite tests are hereby forbidden unless approved by the Director. Problem #1 solved. Nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine to go!:biggrin:

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

Like I said, people eat cooked meat and don't eat fecal matter. Your pets and wild animals don't follow those rules, that is why your animals can get worms.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

That is what we use for humans. The seeds from one pumpkin will worm at least three people. The goats and chickens eat the pumpkin flesh to help worm them. We also add some cayenne pepper to plain yogurt when we want to worm the chickens.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

You might call me extreme but if I had worms I'd swallow a hand grenade.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

Great thread to read right after breakfast. Now for lunch I'm going to the all you can eat Chinese buffet just for the free chop sticks.

Re: Deworming yourself?
 

You're thinking about trying a herbal dewormer when you don't really need it? You must really have a lot of time on your hands or some really good reading material to catch up on?
You know, now that I think about it I remember a neighbor that once told me she had Giardia years ago. She went from doctor to doctor and they told her that her problems were nerves, diet, allergies, etc. Finally someone checked her for parasites and treated her properly. She told me that in a pinch taking huge doses of Pepto would work to flush them out. I wonder if this would work with worms.
