I had problems taking 2 tbsps per day. The first time I did it I felt it overly dehydrated me and it was very scary. I went down to 1 tbsp per day and that was fine for me. I follow up with a glass of water just to get it all down. Make sure you’re taking a probiotic sometime during the day if you decide to take DE, that way you have something to help build up protection in the lining of your stomach/intestines.   [End]

Yes. I prefer the Solaray brand. I used it with oil of oregano and vitamin E, and diatomaceous earth in the evening. At times I would take it with goldenseal. It does help to expel and give some relief.   [End]

I had a bout of pinworms earlier this year while I was detoxing and had a hard time getting rid of them. When I took the vermox/Reese’s pinworm medicine, it stirred up a lot of stuff I didn’t realize I had, including the pinworms and didn’t work. It took me completely changing my diet (COMPLETELY) and doing a few other things to help. I’ve read elsewhere that the pinworms thrive on body that is too alkaline, and when people are pregnant (your body detoxifies when you’re pregnant). This is what worked for me: For topical relief, combine about 2 tbsps of Vaseline and diatomaceou ...

There is a science behind garlic that I cannot comprehend, but it works. Not the garlic tablets, the actual cloves themselves that you can pick up at the grocery store. When you want effectiveness, go with the fresh stuff. You can try munching on them as they are (good luck), but I’ve resorted to cutting up a whole clove and putting it in a salad or mixed in with my food. At least one clove a day (if you need more, then by all means). It’s only been a few days since I’ve been trying this approach, but on the days that I’ve eaten garlic it seems like I don’t have pinworms at ...

I was considering a lemonade flush like yours above, but I’ve recently read that it’s not good to fast while you have parasites. The parasites are taking the nutrients you take in, so you if you deny yourself those nutrients, they turn to other things... Also, I’m not a physician, but after reading a lot of stuff on parasites as of late, I’m beginning to gather that the only reason why we really have them (wreaking havoc, more like) is because our immune systems are compromised in some way shape or form. That being said, it’s not wise to fast when your immune system is down. You just ...

Hi 118552. I have a similar problem. Started on a colon cleanser in January 2009. Everything was going fine, but I got really sick when I started the 2nd month (90 day cleanse), so I ended up stopping. I stopped and started all through 2009 (which probably didn’t help things), and finally got a bad scattering in December... then along came those pinworms. Went straight to the OTC Reese’s pinworm and that caused a horrific reaction, so was then put on the mebendazole (Vermox) for 5 days and had some more crazy reactions, but they didn’t get rid of my pinworms. Matter of fact, ...
