I've done many Series and I've found this to be the hardest!
This particular Series has to do with the ingredients that are in many protocols. Cloves are said to kill and penetrate larvae. This was very hard to find with supporting studies. I found two studies at the end of this post, but nothing on Ascaris, Tapeworm, or the most common parasites and I had expected to see more studies. Perhaps some of those protocols need to rethink how their formulas are developed?
Clove

Clove oil has antihistaminic and spasmolytic properties, most likely due to the presence of eugenyl acetate. 11 Cloves have a positive effect on healing stomach ulcers. 1 A 15% tincture of cloves is effective in treating topical ringworm infections. As with many other volatile oils, clove oil inhibits gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Its fungistatic action has been documented, suggesting use as an antidermatophytic drug. 12 Clove oil also has anthelmintic and larvicidal properties. Another report suggests clove oil suppresses aflatoxin production. 13
Eugenol in high concentrations can inhibit reactive oxygen species generated by macrophages during inflammation. 14
Aqueous extracts of clove increase trypsin activity. Eugenol inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis, the formation of thromboxane B2, and arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation in vitro. This effect has been postulated to contribute to the antidiarrheal effect of other oils that contain eugenol (such as nutmeg oil). 15 Other reports confirm inhibition of platelet aggregation and antithrombotic activity of clove oil. 16 , 17

Abstract
The essential oil extracted from the dried flower buds of clove, Eugenia caryophyllata L. Merr. & Perry (Myrtaceae), is used as a topical application to relieve pain and to promote healing and also finds use in the fragrance and flavouring industries. The main constituents of the essential oil are phenylpropanoids such as carvacrol, thymol, eugenol and cinnamaldehyde. The biological activity of Eugenia caryophyllata has been investigated on several microorganisms and parasites, including pathogenic bacteria, Herpes simplex and hepatitis C viruses. In addition to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal and antiviral activity, clove essential oil possesses antiinflammatory, cytotoxic, insect repellent and anaesthetic properties. This short review addresses the chemical composition and biological effects of clove essential oil, and includes new results from GC/MS analysis and a study of its antimicrobial activity against a large number of multi-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from dialysis biomaterials.

Trypanocidal activity of clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.), basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) essential oils and some of their constituents (eugenol and linalool) was investigated on Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote and bloodstream trypomastigote forms. Steam distillation was used to isolate the essential oils, with chemical analyses performed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The IC(50) (concentration that inhibits 50% parasite growth) of the oils and constituents upon T. cruzi was determined by cell counting in a Neubauer chamber. Cell morphology alterations were observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Treatment with oils and constituents demonstrated that they inhibit parasite growth, with clove essential being the most effective one (IC(50)=99.5 microg/ml for epimastigotes and 57.5 microg/ml for trypomastigotes). Ultrastructural alterations were observed mainly in the nucleus.

USDA, ARS, Nematology Laboratory, Henry A Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC)-West, 10300 Baltimore Ave., Beltsville, MD 20705-2350, USA. Susan.L.Meyer@ars.usda.gov
BACKGROUND: Clove oil, derived from the plant Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry, is active against various organisms, and was prepared in a soy lecithin/detergent formulation to determine concentrations active against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood. RESULTS: In microwell assays, the mean effective clove oil concentration that reduced egg hatch by 50% (EC(50)) was 0.097% (v/v) clove oil; the EC(50) for second-stage juvenile (J2) viability was 0.145% clove oil (compared with carrier control treatments). Volatiles from 5.0% clove oil reduced nematode egg hatch in water by 30%, and decreased viability of hatched J2 by as much as 100%. Reductions were not as large with nematodes in carrier. In soil trials with J2 recovered from Baermann funnels, the EC(50) = 0.192% clove oil (compared with water controls).
CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated that the tested formulation is active against M. incognita eggs and J2, that the EC(50) values for J2 in the microwell studies and the soil recovery tests were similar to each other and that direct contact with the clove oil is needed for optimal management results with this natural product.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,355,736I am beginning to think that the secondary effect of Cloves is to deliver manganese and it removes copper from the liver.

If you run down the symptoms in this post you will see plenty of commonality with parasites.
NOTE: I have taking the homeopathic and now Moly to see what happens and am certain copper is a main issue with tapeworms. If those tapeworms throw cysts that then throttle the immune system you have set the stage for the critter invasion.

This is a reply to # 1,356,888Thanks, Newport.
Your comment about cloves is interesting.... never thought about that.
"NOTE: I have taking the homeopathic and now Moly to see what happens and am certain copper is a main issue with tapeworms. If those tapeworms throw cysts that then throttle the immune system you have set the stage for the critter invasion."
What you've said is confusing to me because this complicates the parasite issue. Years ago I did some research on Copper and it was noted that a deficiency played a role as an added factor assisting the parasite burden. The below is one out of several studies that I've seen. Copper water, btw, was also used by ancient physicians as a method to combat parasite infections. What you've said contradicts parasites infections.... or does it not and only relates to tapeworms??? I'm confused.
http://www.abdn.ac.uk/organic/organic_34.php
"The imbalances observed in the soil analysis indicate that there might be further mineral imbalances, all of which may be consistent with mineral deficiencies in the sheep.
• The ram, ewes and lambs had copper deficiency which may to some extent be due to the low copper content in the soil and therefore the herbage. Another possibility could be that absorption may be related to the age of the ewes or high levels of molybdenum or sulphur in the diet - which interfere with the absorption of copper.
• Low copper levels in the lambs are consistent with recent findings that treating ewes with copper, cobalt and selenium supplements has a greater impact on lamb worm burdens compared to only supplementing the lambs (Gray, 2002) Copper is well documented for having anthelmintic properties (Waller, 1999, Bang et al, 1990) therefore it is logical to presume that copper deficiency leaves the host more susceptible to worm infestations. In turn, high worm burdens in the host's gut can interfere with mineral absorption and in the case of copper leaves the host even more susceptible to the establishment of worms."
Furthermore, somewhere in my research (years ago) I've read that copper kills parasites/larvae and zinc removes them from the system.
I've known this to be true. Internally if copper is taken, zinc should not be taken at the same time but several hours later to keep a balance. Copper and zinc are competitors.
From the 2nd link that you provided.
"Zinc Deficiency and Copper Toxicity
A widespread zinc deficiency in our population is another critical cause of a copper imbalance. Zinc and copper normally exist in a delicate balance. Zinc is a primary copper antagonist. When zinc is deficient, copper tends to accumulate in various storage organs."
Could the real issue be not copper toxicity, but rather a deficiency and/or an imbalance with zinc?
I'm curious, what are your thoughts on the above because I'm confused - why are you "certain"?

Yes, I can't fully explain it yet but the best way to understand this is to think of what we have found with iron.
We have seen more than once that iron deficiency is eliminated by taking IP6 which chelates iron.
Huh? How come? Because iron as copper is used to oxidize and if too many oxidizers are in the body (Hg, MMS, etc) the body tries to dump them instead of holding on.
So instead you become deficient of iron yet toxic with rust same goes for oxidized copper.
Certainly the remedy appears to be multi faceted:
- Chelate the offending oxidizers, Hg
- Chelate he oxidized metals, Rust, Copper etc
- Supply fresh copper, iron with diet or supps

This is a reply to # 1,356,966Interesting! The oxidation chelation makes since.
As for "fresh copper" (also zinc) - I'd suspect colloidals would be best rather than a supplement. I did an experiment and it worked in my case; it would have been best if I had repeated the experiment several times to see if I was right.

Still not something I'd want to leave out with killing parasites. It seems that the people that aren't using cloves as part of their parasite killing methods- whether it's using drugs, MMS, herbs- whatever...are the ones that think they have finished them off, and are "cured", only to find themselves down the road with more of them to deal with, or find new hatchlings.
There's other good information in this information that I've never heard before too- thanks!
From your information though:
>>>As with many other volatile oils, clove oil inhibits gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Its fungistatic action has been documented, suggesting use as an antidermatophytic drug. 12 Clove oil also has anthelmintic and **larvicidal properties**.

Kills insect larvae (!)
Antifungal (just on the skin?), and suppresses aflatoxin production.

Man! That information right there, could make a difference in the health of the asthmatic granddaughter that has chronically elevated platelets. The parents don't find anything to be concerned about. She was willing to consistently do things the ND had her taking, "Grandma, I WANT to feel better"..but, it was the adults that freaked out because the ND mentioned parasites as being a cause (plus she muscle tested for viral, bacterial, and fungal too) Little wonder, with all the antibiotics she's been on through-out her short life-time..that she has "chronic yeast infections" no one is all that concerned about either. This last round of antibiotics she was on though, she told me she had "bugs" in the fridge she had to drink, and made a face. I showed her the yogurt carton I had in the fridge that says "Billions of liver, active, and probiotic cultures"--and told her I eat bugs too- good bugs.
Wonder how much cloves I could put into her food when she eats here :) I'm a fruit-cake, and so is the ND, so I don't dare give her clove capsules.
She ended up in the emergency room again a few weeks back. Got more antibiotics and stronger steroids.
The "Dr/Priesthood" thing Beck mentions prevails. "Oh, Dr's just said she would always have elevated platelets and infections in her lungs because the lining of her lungs are thick from having the asthma".
The grandkids were who told me about the sister of a student at school last year, who went to the emergency room, and died. I later found out that is was from thrombosis- blood clot.

Shame that you're still battling with the parents over the grandkids about their health.
You could do something simple to make it fun for your granddaughter. Have "tea time" and make a clove tea and add some honey. ;) Teas are still the widest method for taking herbal medicines. Believe or not, the 2nd most common drink (worldwide) after water is tea. - Re: Anthelmintic Series: Cloves - Mi... Newport

Cloves MUST be added slowly, preferably with Mag Malate since they are contraindicated with stone disease in TCM.
My best guess is that the copper chelation from the liver will mobilize hepatic stones and may cause biliary blockages. Certainly I had to start without cloves for several months before I could add them.

This is a reply to # 1,358,797I remembered cloves did something with the liver, but couldn't remember what you'd said- in a post a long time ago. Do you still take the cloves regularly though? I'll pay attention to my liver with them. DO they kill candida/fungus too?
It's one of the things I'm waiting impatiently for from Swanson's- they sell Crow's Lugol's now, so I'd put an order in for it and a couple of other things- selenomethionine, boron. I have had a couple of sore lymph nodes in my arm pit and breast for about a week. I ran out of the weak SSKI from the ND, and used up the last of what Lugol's I had.
I had the sore, lumpy breast problem before, but thought it had gotten resolved. I also am aware that it seems to go with the gum infections (my 3 month cleaning wasn't so good again this last time- no plaque, but inflammation and receding gums).
I have Premiere REsearch Lab's clove oil (non-radiated) the ND had me putting in capsules. I haven't tested that I have needed it for parasites for 4-5 months. I should try the oil-pulling with a few drops in it. I've been using Listerine faithfully (has thyme and eucolyptus in it). - Re: Anthelmintic Series: Cloves - Mi... jessesmom1987

I still do something electronic on a regular basis- either Beck's BE, or zapping. I got in the habit of doing it first thing in the am, and would rather keep doing it. If something does happen to hatch out- I'd rather nail it if possible.

This is a reply to # 1,358,054I agree with you. :)
The thing that surprised me while doing this is that I had expected to see a few more studies on cloves as an anthelmintic, as an anti-larval agent.
Like you, I wouldn't cut out cloves because it is good as a bacterial agent. Parasites do carry bacteria too, which is another reason to have it in a formula. There have been several studies on cloves killing E. Coli, Staph and several other bugs that we've posted on the Forum.
