Re: Is cleanse dangerous?
I try to research the side effects for any herb or any other supplements/meds I am ingesting to see what the potential dangers, side effects and recommendations are. Since a lot of
parasite remedies have the same herbs (like
Wormwood ,
Black-Walnut , etc) I try to alternate with remedies that have different types of herbs. I used a Chinese herb formula last time which I will do again later on then return to the standard formulas. Along time ago I went with a friend to a Chinese herbalist who was very knowledgeable but I didn’t feel I had any problems at the time so I didn’t think much of it. I can’t seem to find one like that now.
They usually say not to repeat a formula for 30 or 90 days and I'm assuming its because of the type of herbs in the formula that are toxic so you shouldn't keep taking them for long periods of time without a break. I'm on humaworm now and once that runs out I will try something else. One thing that sounds promising is ficin, a fig extract I heard was very effective at dissolving even live worms, but hard to find. I located a pure bottle of it for sale at one site but found out that at that high solution it could have negative side effects, causing albino or white specks on the skin unless you follow a very strict protocol. I see it listed in some online formulas for bromelian with cla in very small amounts so that's what I intend to order. For my next round I am considering the formula below but never heard of most of these ingredients so may have to go with something else. I need to research the ingredients for side effects, etc, that is if I can actually locate any of them them.

Descriiption
This section is from the "Herb Formulas" extract from the "Herbs for Health" book, by Otto Mausert
Formula No. 306: For Tapeworm
1. Bear's Paw Root Extract 6 drachms
Considered a specific for the removal of tapeworm.
2. Mandrake Root Extract 1 1/2 drachms
A valuable worm expeller.
3. Jalap Root 4 drachms
Acts on bowels producing watery stools.
4. Broom Pine Oil 12 drops
Useful in the expulsion of worms.
5. Chloroform 3 drops
Mix well and fill into 6 gelatine capsules equally divided.
Directions: Take one capsule every ten minutes until all are taken. Examine the stools closely and do not forget that the thinnest part bears the head. 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 my 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.
