black walnut artemisia cloves- pre treatment symptoms was lyme disease- the bacteria that causes lyme is similiar to most parasites, it gathers in the cartlidge, hides out in the brain, and chomps away at cartlidge, - I was going to try Ivermectin but went with the herbal protocol instead. Unfortunately for me, I ended up herxing in a major way and it set off a mast cell attack. If a person does not have a chronic condition such as Lyme, it is safe to use these herbs, although black walnut should not be taken longer than 10 days as it can upset the system. Its a good idea to clean out by taking psyllium powder every day for 5 days before herbal protocol. Herxing is an effect from die off, the parasites release toxins, and in my case, the toxins activated the mast cells. I did an herbal parasite cleanse ages ago, with products that came in a kit. I did see liver flukes in my stool from that one, they look like sesame seeds. Raw pumpkin seeds are very good for round worms, and it is the time of year for lots of pumpkins. There is something in them that kills roundworms, I give it to my goats, they never have tested positive for round worms.
