Herbal parasite cleanse?
I am looking into an herbal parasite cleanse with black walnut and wormwood, because I eat a lot of rare meats- are these the only herbs I need to completely clear the buggers out? What forms should I take them in? How long should I take them? Are herbs een effective at this? How much should I take?
I do not currentlly have any serious parasite infestations (that I know of), I am taking this as a precautionary measure for my rare-meat rich diet

A very simple method of cleansing the meat you eat is to boil it well in salt water with some powdered dried turmeric root powder thrown in.
Salt and turmeric will get rid of any germs and viruses there are in them.

Stop eating rare meats. Meat in general isn't healthful for you (overall, although it does have some benefits like protein, iron).
But eating rare meat is just asking for it. Unless you're killing it yourself and know proper cleaning methods, you are at risk for serious diseases other than parasites. Even then, still a risky proposition.
Have you seen Fast Food Nation ? lol Seriously though, the meat isn't nearly as clean as it used to be.

Stop eating raw meats.
Young Living has some great parasite cleanse out there..
also your local health food store may have stuff.
I don't know how effective they are, but it took me over a year to get rid of a parasite called giardia with prescription medications.

wood worm is what is used in absinth, it causes more problems in sick people then it cures. Metronidazole is the best drug for parasites and nothing else comes close. I know it's not herbal, but sometimes drugs are better.

Giardia only comes from water, cold water.
This has both plus other things:

I have never used this company or product. Pumpkin seeds are supposed to rid the body of worms. The other plus is that they taste good and you can have them as a nutritious snack.

I dunno - I would check with a doctor to see if you have parasites. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The eggs will show up in your feces, and there will be other symptoms -- despite what the parasite-cleanser salespeople say!
That said, you might consider cooking meats longer. The Japanese eat wasabi with raw fish and that's supposed to prevent unspecified nasties.
Wormwood is really dangerous. They used to make a liquor with it called absinthe, and it was a drug that caused terrible havoc in its time. Black walnut skins aren't safe, either.
Please get some proper medical help before you try these things. There are alternatives to alternative medicine!

I'm a nurse. Go and see your primary doctor. Frankly you need to know for sure if you have parasites or not. Parasites can become life threatening if not treated, see your doctor.
