Borax is great for diverticulitis. 1/4 tsp (females) or 1/2 tsp. (males) in a liter of water. Sip throughout the day, every day, forever. It is amazing stuff. It also help with Arthritis pain and candida overgrowth. It won't kill big worms, but it can help heal the infection. And coconut oil. It is just awesome. Take a tsp. a day and work up to 3 tablespoons a day. I've heard people say it healed their diverticulitis, it cures candida and it also kills parasites.
