I've used clove a lot, although not in any specific protocol. I just take it in rounds with other herbs. I'll take anywhere from 1 tsp to 1 tablespoon per dose, just put the powder in some water with molassis or stevia, and then brace myself. It's hard to get down. But the parasites hate it and it's never given me any adverse reaction. If you don't need high dose, you can take it in capsules, which is much easier then. I usually take with a bit of food too, which helps.
