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.
