Others should exercise caution with the garlic. It can stir up mercury. Not a fun thing to have happen. Let alone some people just have bad issues with sulfur.

Hi M,

The following is from Dr. John R. Christopher's herbal works:

Quote:
The three most common types of worms found in the body are: the thread or seat worms (Oxyuris vermicularis), the round worms (Ascaris lumbricoides-lumbrici),and the tape worms (Taeince-Taenia solium, bothriocephalus latus). There are also other less-common worm types that enter the body, such as hook worms (Ancylostoma duodenale, Nectar americanus)--thymol and oil of Chenopodium (Jerusalem Oak) are specifics for this problem - - and those of unclean pork (Trichinella spiralis), etc., which thrives upon various conditions of filth and degeneration. The thread or seat worm is rather easily destroyed or expelled from the body because it is usually found in the lower bowel and does not adhere to the intestinal wall. Herbs such as many cathartics, astringents, aloes, quassia, calumba, apple cider vinegar, etc., are effective against these intestinal vermin. The roundworm is the most likely type to be found in and often clinging to the intestinal wall, and it causes considerable harm and physical discomfort, especially to children. If the action and development of roundworms are not checked, they may increase in numbers to the point that they find entry into the stomach, and even travel up the esophagus in the pharynx (with most unpleasant and upsetting results). Roundworms may ordinarily be detected in the stools and greatly disturb the balance of the stomach--and it is this class of parasites, along with tapeworms, that the anthelmintic herbs are particularly useful and beneficial. The anthelmintic agents are classed as to their action against the worm parasites:

VERMIFUGES are herbal agents that cause the expulsion of worms from the body.
VERMICIDES are herbal agents that destroy worms in the body.
TAENIAFUGES are herbal agents that cause the expulsion of the Tapeworms from the body.
TAENICIDES are herbal agents that kill Tapeworms in the body.

The difference in a destroying or expelling action often depends on the medicinal dosage given and how soon after administration the bowels are moved--thus, a large dose of an anthelmintic, if it remains in the intestine, will destroy, while a smaller dose will merely expel the worm. Almost all anthelmintics are potent agents and must be respected as such; and concentrated substance must always be used in wisdom. Generally, in the case of thread or seat worms, an enema is sufficient; and, in case of round worms, the following procedure will be beneficial:

1. Go on a three day cleanse with Pluto water, taking the anthelmintic morning and night, preferably with Wormwood .

2. On the morning of the 4th day, take 1 teacupful of senna (Cassia acutifolia; C. angustifolia) alone to cleanse and purge the bowel of the parasites (other suitable cathartics as given in this lesson are also acceptable).

The Tapeworm is somewhat more obstinate, but the foregoing procedure is also applicable here, using male fern or pomegranate as the anthelmintic agent. It is good policy, however, to continue taking the remedy a few days after the joints have ceased to pass, and to use lobelia along with the antibilious cathartic. Dr. Shook gives some good advice: Doctors generally let the patient fast for a day or two before taking Tapeworm remedies, but this is unnecessary, because the worm, being a parasite, cannot be starved. This only makes the patient feel weak and nauseated, and when he finally takes the medicine on a starved stomach, he may throw it up. A far better way, from our experience, is to advise the patient to eat, for a day or so, foods the Tapeworm dislikes, such as onions, garlic, pickles and salted fish. This weakens the worm and tends to loosen his grip, so that when the medicine is taken it acts upon the tapeworm and causes it to be expelled more easily.

GENERAL
Dr. Christopher said that Male Fern is one of the most powerful anthelmintics available. He classed anthelmintic herbs into four classes: the vermifuges, which cause the expulsion of worms from the body; the vermicides, which destroy worms in the body; the taeniafuge, which expel Tapeworms from the body; and the taeniacide, which kill tapeworms from the body. Male Fern is a taeniafuge and a vermifuge, as well as an astringent, tonic, and vulnerary (herb to help heal wounds). Dr. Christopher commented that Male Fern is the only herb that works as a specific for tapeworms. Tapeworm can be controlled by the multiple vermifuge formula that Dr. Christopher made up, but Male Fern will do the work alone. The tapeworm is really quite a delicate creature, yet one of the most powerful. It is small, pliable, and easy to break, but it will sap every bit of strength out of a grown man if it is allowed to remain in the system, causing him to starve to death.

COMMON FERN
COMMON FERN
Next to Bracken this Plant is one of the most common Ferns, growing luxuriantly in shady places and on sheltered banks. It grows everywhere in the United States, and Europe, temperate Asia, North India, North and South Africa, and the Andes. In sheltered spots, it will sometimes remain green all winter long. To forest dwellers and cultivators of Fern gardens, it is a most common sight.

The root of the plant was used by the ancients as a vermifuge. Theophrastus, Dioscorides and Pliny all describe its use. It was used as a domestic remedy for worms throughout the Middle Ages and finally was recorded by Valerius Cordus as a drug to be taxed in Germany in the sixteenth century. It was somewhat neglected for a while, then revived as a chief ingredient, combined with purgatives, in a secret remedy for tapeworm, one of the promoters being Daniel Mathieu, an apothecary of Berlin. It was so successful that Frederick the Great purchased the formula for an annuity of thirty pounds, conferring on its originator the title of "Aulic Councillor". Madame Nouffler, the widow of a surgeon at Murten, Switzerland, was paid 18,000 livres by Louis XIV for a tapeworm cure consisting chiefly of the powder of the Male Fern root. J. Peschier, a pharmacist of Geneva, introduced the extract in ether in 1825, which was not, however, employed in England to any extent until the middle of the last century. Its great success introduced Male Fern to the orthodox medical profession. To this day, the plant is recognized in the United States Pharmacopeia and other official pharmacopeias in various countries.

Gerard wrote: "The roots of the Male Fern, being taken in the weight of half an ounce, driveth forth long flat worms, as Dioscorides writeth, being drunk in mede or honied water, and more effectually if it be given with two scruples, or two thirds part of a dram of scammonie, or of black hellebore; they that will use it, must first use garlicke."

One of the official names of this plant, Aspidium, is derived from aspis, a shield, because the spores are thus enclosed in bosses, resembling the shape of the round shields of ancient days (Gri:300). Another name for it is the Shield Fern, as the undersides of the leaflets are covered with numerous kidney-shaped scales, shielding the spore sacs.

The classification of the order Filices is according to fructification. The dust-like and almost invisible seeds or spores of Ferns are contained in little cases or theca of a roundish shape, which are themselves encircled by a jointed ring, the elasticity of which eventually bursts open the theca and scatters the spores when mature. These seeds are so tiny as to be almost invisible, and the "Doctrine of Signatures" states the use of the Fern will confer invisibility (Coon:103). In Henry IV, Act II Scene 1, Shakespeare wrote, "We have the receipt of fern seed; we walk invisible."

Other common names include bear paw's root, male shield, sweet brake, shield root, knotty brake, marginal shield fern and European aspidium.

TAENIAFUGE
TAENIAFUGE
Male Fern has sometimes been used as a tonic and vulnerary in China; it is used for wounds and hemorrhages, such as epistaxis, menorrhagia, and postpartum hemorrhage (Shi:282). Old time herbalists recommended that it be mixed with lard, to be applied to wounds, and that the powdered roots cured rickets in children (Gri:302). However, its most prominent usage has been that of a vermifuge, particularly in cases of tapeworm.

The rhizomes and stipes contain an oleoresin that paralyzes the voluntary muscles of the intestine as well as the analogous contractile tissue of the tapeworm; although it does not kill the parasite, the paralyzed worms are readily washed out the tract by an active purgative (Lewis and Elvin-Lewis:200). Besides the vermicidal action, there is a slightly purgative one of its own, though not enough to expel the paralyzed worms. Some recommend that the patient fast for a day or two before taking tapeworm remedies, but Dr. Christopher recommended against this practice, because the worm being a parasite, cannot be starved. This only makes the patient feel weak and nauseated, and when he finally takes the medicine on a starved stomach, he may vomit it up. Dr. Christopher recommended instead to advise the patient to eat, for a day or so, foods that the tapeworm dislikes, such as onions garlic, pickles, and salted fish. This weakens the worm and tends to loosen his grip, so that when the medicine is taken, it acts upon the tapeworm and causes it to be expelled more easily (SNH:106).

However, a person might go on the three-day cleanse before undergoing worm therapy. Thereafter, the Doctor recommended taking 1/2 to one teaspoonful of the powdered Male Fern root in the morning on an empty stomach (in a capsule, in honey, or in an emulsion with the thick mucilage of gum arabic and water), followed by a brisk purge of senna and ginger or butternut bark; or take 30 drops of the oil night and morning followed by the brisk purge. The dose should continue for three days even if you are seeing the worms emerge in the stool. You should examine the stools closely and remember that the thinnest part of the worm carries the head; be sure this is eliminated, as the tapeworm has the annoying ability of being able to grow a new tail if the head remains intact. For children, mix equal parts of fluid extract and glycerine, shaking well together. For ages 4-7, give six drops in jam; 7-12 years, give 12 drops in jam; over twelve years, give one or two teaspoonfuls in a half teacupful of cold water; follow with a cathartic tea (two ounces of senna, a half ounce of mountain flax, 1 large sliced lemon, steeped for thirty minutes in two pints of boiling water). Give the worm medicine at 6 a.m. on an empty stomach, give the cathartic tea (to older children as above) at 8 a.m., and serve breakfast at 9 a.m. (SNH:111).

I hope this information helps-

Good Health to All of Us,

thanks so much - I've tried almost all of these, except of high levels of cloves and sitting on the hot milk pail - I've read about it but somehow I knew that in my case it would not work: how would they get back to the intestine?
I think that I might have this ever since I was a child, about 5 - apparently at that age some long thing (my parents thought it was a Tapeworm ) came out of me and if it was this fish Tapeworm and the head stayed burried somewhere inside, then it could've been dormant until about a year ago when I first noticed the movement and started herbs and then all kinds of things to get rid of it. I only learned that it is a fish Tapeworm this August though, as the woman in Europe found it with this synchrometer-type device. So before that I was just guessing.
And yes, I can see millions of eggs almost in every BM. Some of them brigh red, some of them white, some of them black - those white or black are the same size, those red ones are bigger and surrounded in a slimy "cover/shell".

My main trouble with taking things to treat these is that I've heard that the parasites get used to any treatment very soon, therefore it needs to be changed. But then I've heard (the guy from humaworm) that one needs to have a break from taking anything, it's really confusing what to do. So I keep trying and switching between different things.
But so far with a little success. But I've got a lot of new suggestions from you and from newport and that helps.

Thanks Newp :)

Here is one Bing Lang online source for the herb (there may be others):
http://www.tcmtreatment.com/herbs/0-binlang-dafupi.htm


'Bing Lang Mu Xian Wan' sounds like one of the traditional patent formula pills. If it is, they are often available in the US in a local Chinatown district, and are usually very inexpensive.

Dameon, I have never in my long life as an herbalist, practitioner, researcher and speaker heard of anyone who was ever made sick by Garlic- only those who were helped by it. And so what are you suggesting..? Should M leave the thing in place so he/she doesn't maybe get sick? NOT.

Good Health to All of Us,

Ladylove

I didn't try yet any of what you've suggested, so thanks, I will get those.

I am using for almost a year this ravo zapper and even though I am at times using it for hours at a time, trying variety of frequencies, I am almost at the same point as when I started. Sometimes I think that this zapper actually makes it worse that somehow they like it and it's actually a treatment that makes them thrive and have a happy life on my expense.

Can you please be more specific about rife that you are using - where to get it and if you think it would be better than the frequency generator.

As hard as it is I have already accepted that it would take a long time to clean this out - when I started, I wanted to be done with it in two weeks. Then I learned more and more that it's not an easy fight. It's even more discouraging that I've got already one year behind me and I feel somewhat better but also somewhat worse because all the things I did stirred the monsters to more activity and more movement and finding more hiding places. So it seems like one has no chance to win.
But with the new knowledge I would be able to design some new protocol/approach.
