How To Go About Doing A Parasite Detox

* Anti-parasitic foods – Dr Ann Louise Gittleman, in her book “Guess What Came to Dinner: Parasites and Your Health”, recommends eating a lot of pineapple, papaya and blackberries, as these are great anti-parasitic fruits. For vegetables, she recommends onions and garlic.

* Nuts and seeds – certain nuts and seeds are also very effective in helping with parasite cleansing. Health experts often recommend pumpkin seeds as a great anti-parasitic food. A study in 2007 published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that almonds are good for parasite detox because they are rich in essential fatty acids and will help heal the irritation caused by the parasites and which might occur during the detox when the parasites are being flushed out of the body.

Liquid parasite detox diet

Once you have spent two to three days on a fruit and vegetable diet, you should next do a liquid detox. This will flush out all the remaining parasites and make sure that your body is effectively cleansed. A Natural News article from 2012 recommends detoxifying with fermented drinks for at least three days. This includes consuming drinks from “fermented whey from grass-fed cows and fermented ginger, kombucha, coconut kefir, apple cider vinegar”. These will help to get the amount of healthy bacteria in the intestines back to normal and get rid of unhealthy bacteria, thus restoring balance. These drinks will also help you with healthy digestion and fully flush your body of the parasites.

Herb supplements to aid with killing parasites

There are some great herbal supplements that you should add to your detox diet. These can be taken throughout both the food diet and the juice diet. The most commonly used herbs for parasite detox include:

* Goldenseal – A Livestrong article from 2010 reports that goldenseal has rich amounts of berberine, which has been proven by studies to effectively kill off parasites and unhealthy bacteria.

* Wormwood – Cathy Wong recommends using wormwood because it has “sesquiterpene lactones, which are thought to weaken parasite membranes”, thus making it effective in parasite detoxification.
