Black
Walnut Hulls contains naphthoquinones and is well documented as an anti-parasitic

many centuries by Europeans and American Indian tribes. It aids
digestion and helps to maintain a healthy digestive system.

Garlic

Research shows that Garlic possesses anti-fungal and
anti-bacterial properties. Allicin, one of garlic's important active
ingredients is believed to provide many of its anti-microbial and
vermifuge benefits. It may also help eliminate bacteria while
supporting the growth of natural bacterial flora (Mirelman, D. et
al., J. Infec. Dis. 1987: 156 (1): 243-4).

Adults and children over 12 years take one tablet three times
daily for one month. Thereafter repeat at least every 3 - 4 months.
If symptoms persist seek the advice of your health professional.
You may wish to use soluble fibers such as rice bran or Psyllium (Wacters’ #11, #51, 93 or #96) in water daily to assist in the elimination of parasites and their toxins.
"Is
there a way to prevent parasitic infection?"
It is impossible to avoid all situations that could lead to
parasitic infection. You may wish to take the following precautions
that can help:
Drink clean, pure water. Chlorination does not
kill all parasites. It is advisable to filter all drinking water.
Always wash fresh produce carefully, especially vegetables.
Wash
your hands thoroughly before preparing or eating food and after using
the toilet.
If you eat animal meat, ensure that it is cooked
thoroughly.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle to guard against
parasites. A consistently poor diet can promote poor intestinal
health, creating the perfect environment for parasites to thrive.
