hi there and thanks for posting your experience with bromelain. my feeling these days is like you if I were to start parasite killing herbs the side effects would be more than I can handle - especially while taking care of three small children. Also I can't do any type of dewormer right now anyway since I am breastfeeding my baby. so my approach right now is to do things to make my body less welcoming for parasites. I'm taking coconut oil and diamataceous earth at the moment. As far as I can tell these are safe while breastfeeding and I'm not experiencing side effects from taking them. when i'm done breastfeeding i think i will continue to search for methods to gradually reduce the population of parasites first before I take a full spectrum parasite killing formula. In the past while I was not pregnant or breastfeeding I did attempt humaworm and barefoots dewormer and the side effects were very bad. Perhaps if someone more knowlegeable than I reads this they can give us more ideas on how to more gradually reduce the population of parasites.
