The DE should take care of the pinworms. I find it very beneficial to do coffee enemas during this time to really get the dead stuff to leave the body. The coffee in this manner is highly beneficial and many cancer patients use them multiple times a day with great results (Gerson Therapy). I was concerned with depleting electrolytes/good bacteria, etc. but after doing lots of research and doing them for as long as I have been, there's been nothing but good coming from it. I buy disposable enema bags and use a new one every time. I can only handle 1 tsp of DE because every time I attempt to up it to a tablespoon, my skin reallllly crawls. Just listen to your body. Thanks for sharing your experience too. It feels great to have a community to help each other!
