Infants, Parasites & Herbs

The following are posts I made on another forum here on CureZone today that may be of some interest to my readers too:

POST #1

"Hello - In my opinion, certain herbs should not be given to children under 30 pounds because of the strong chemical components. You can give a small child (under 2 years of age or under 30 lbs) foods that include garlic, onions, thyme, sage, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. Their little bodies can handle these just fine in moderate amounts and they all have an anti-parasite effect - and I have seen it work.

I don't think you've done any harm. Let me relay a story to you and other readers of this post - I remember as a very young child - 4 or 5 - a very scared and crying young couple came to my grandmother's house with their tiny infant. It was probably less than 6 months old. The baby had a bad case of worms - I know now they were Ascaris - but I didn't know then and it was obviously a bad case. My grandmother boiled up a solution much like what is listed above (from her notes) and added sugar to it and the mama fed it to her baby with an eyedropper. They stayed up all night and the baby passed MANY worms that night and the next morning. The baby got hungry and finally nursed and they went home with a small jar of that nasty looking juice. This will always stand out in my memory because it scared ME! Nobody ever stayed overnight like that and it was the first time I actually saw worms come out of a PERSON and that scared me too! (I was sneaking peeks into the kitchen) I just happened to be spending the night with her and my grandpa. That was the first - but certainly not the last - time I've seen infants with parasites.

Parasite infections in infants are real and can cause damage very quickly due to an infant's small body size. Good luck to you and your family and let me know if I can be of any assistance."

"Hello Tiffany - This was part of a recipe from my grandmother's notes for small infants - before they can eat solid foods. Your 18 month old can maybe eat seasoned mashed potatoes with garlic & onion, baked chicken with sage and tyme, and maybe some oatmeal with cinnamon, cloves and ginger. It only takes a tiny, tiny amount of these herbs to be effective. Cloves, for example, is just 2.5mg daily per 30 pounds of body weight - this is .00125 of a teaspoon volume measurement(a TINY PINCH). He/she might be more willing to eat them in food than to swallow them in a liquid form.

My personal recommendation is still to keep wormwood away from children - it's just too dangerous. The three year old can take black walnut (15mg which is .005 teaspoon volume) - daily per 30 pounds of body weight. This and some of the above listed herbs that are great for parasite removal but do not carry the same dangers as wormwood."
