If you think you may have parasites, check out http://humaworm.com and the related herb remedies

If you think you may have parasites, perhaps consider going to a real doctor.

Its a funny thing but the "natural" remedy can actually work better. I put natural in quotations because its super toxic!

Wormwood/nutmeg/Black Walnut. Nasty stuff.

Its good as a last resort if the conventional stuff does not kill the parasites

This is what happened to me.

I would argue that ingesting something that's super toxic is not a better solution, and is part of the reason why naturopathic remedies are not a good idea to self-appy.

"Antibiotics" literally translates to anti-living, if my language knowledge is correct..

Thanks for sharing. I put links to a few university research in the above post hoping the parent can see from a "real" perspective.

"The juice of freshly macerated unripe hulls of the black walnut (Juglans nigra) has been used for many years in folk medicine as a treatment for localized, topical fungal infections such as ringworm."

"Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) is the seed kernel of inside the fruit. It has been studied to having number of ethnopharmacological properties. Essential oils are secondary metabolites which originated from different parts of plants and made up of volatile compounds. In the present study, the essential oil extracted from nutmeg was investigated for its in vitro cytotoxicity on Vero cell line (normal cell line) and anti-parasitic activity against Toxoplasma gondii parasite. Nutmeg essential oil showed very low cytotoxic activity against Vero cells with IC 50 value of 24.83µg/mL. In the in vitro anti-T.gondii assay, the oil extract showed significant inhibiting activity with EC 50 value of 24.45µg/mL. This result was comparable to the standard drug clindamycin (EC 50 =16.57µg/mL.). Based on the promising results, nutmeg essential oil may be further studied for its mechanism of action against T.gondii and to isolate the bioactive compound(s) to treat toxoplasmosis."
