Worms

[Guest guest]

hey, my cats have a problem with worms. how can we kill them?

 

I have successfully wormed cats by grinding up raw pumpkin seeds and putting a handful in some wet cat food. Sometimes it's worked and other times it didn't. It's worth a try, though.

Yes, your feet will absorb. I personally never tried rubbing garlic on my feet. But they say if you soak your feet in alcohol you will get drunk.

I followed Dr Hulda Clarkes parasite program it was far more superior then any other, since my son did that 4 months ago he has not had a seizure or even a headache since. But it was a matter of taking 3 different herbs if your interested in that program go to http://curezone.com/clark/parasites.asp GinaMarci <twilli55 wrote: I'm starting to think my son may have parasites--intestinal worms.

Marci, had worm problems with my son a number of years ago, after

eating pork.... I used to use a garlic supository it sounds gross but

in the end it worked really well when he went to bed I just inserted a

clove of garlic in his anus with a piece of gladwrap thogh plastic

gloves are easy enough to get these days

I have an article written by Dr. Christopher and his experience

using a garlic paste ( he describes how to make it ) and applying it

to the bottom of the feet. He used this to successfully treat

pneumonia so why not work for parasites as well? It's a bit long but

well worth the read!!

 

 

Garlic Paste for Pneumonia

 

by Dr. Christopher

 

I remember one time we were called out to a house in the wee hours

of the morning. This call was to see a little boy, under the age of

two years, that had double pneumonia. The physician on the case had

informed the parents that nothing more could be done and he would

come back in the morning to sign the child's death certificate.

Seeing as it was well under forty degrees below zero and nearly

fifty miles from ambulance service, the parents were told that the

boy, if taken by car to a hospital, would surely die.

 

These parents tried to get other doctors, but at that time of night,

and in such a remote area, no one would offer help. A friend told

them about us, then living in Evanston, Wyoming and to try to call

us. Having been told of the boy's condition we went expecting to

give him the cold-sheet-treatment. Upon arriving there we found that

the plumbing was frozen and there was not running water in the

house. We found enough in the toilet tank above the bowl to give the

little chap an enema.

 

We were not able to give the cold sheet treatment (no water) so only

the garlic paste was made up and applied. This was done after a

complete massage of the body and the feet. After oiling the feet up

to the ankles, thoroughly, and massaging the olive oil in well, a

half-inch thickness of the garlic paste was applied to the soles of

his feet. (This is put on only the soles and not up onto the sides).

Then gauze was placed over to cover the paste, bandages to hold it

into place, and a loose white cotton sick was pulled over the

bandages to hold them securely.

 

Garlic paste is made by taking freshly peeled buttons of garlic and

garlic about half and half with Vaseline. This amount can very,

according to the toughness of the feet, more Vaseline for tender

feet, less for thicker skin. many of the health minded readers will

be shocked by our using a low-vibration ointment like Vaseline

instead of using anhydrous lanolin or some lighter more organic type.

 

The reasoning for this is that the lighter type ointments will

penetrate more quickly into the skin, but the Vaseline will hold the

garlic on in ointment form. This will also keep the garlic from

blistering as easily. (A garlic blister looks bad, but does not hurt

and heals back quickly.)

 

The little boy was running an extremely high fever and was delirious

when he was covered and put back into bed. (This was well after 2:00

a.m.). We assured the parents the child would be all right and would

get well.

 

A few days later we were called again by these parents. They told us

that the doctor came back to sign the death certificate that next

morning, but the little boy was sitting in his high chair, drinking

some juice and breathing normally as if nothing had happened the

night before. The doctor became so angry and demanded to know the

name of the other doctor who had taken over the case before it had

been released by him. He wanted a hearing by " the board " to have the

other doctor thrown out of practice for going " against procedure " by

taking over a case without written release. The parents asked if

his " release " was the death of their child? He probably changed his

mind because we were not brought before a hearing.

 

 

A Little About Garlic

 

The garlic clove contains a very high amount of sulphur; sulphur is

one of the best minerals to be used as an oxygen carrier. Oxygen is

the breath of life and sulphur will carry the oxygen in the body

directly to the infected area. Germs cannot live in a good supply of

oxygen, therefore, the infection is cleared quickly. This is an

organic wonder, so garlic may be termed 'a wonder herb'.

 

Medical science discovered that sulphur caused this rapid healing,

so in WWII, flowers of sulphur (an inorganic mined-mineral) was

substituted for garlic. The army used sulfa for practically every

ailment from " falling hair to fallen arches " . Wonderful results were

reported to us and we were told to use it in ever increasing amounts.

 

The difference between garlic and the inorganic, manmade remedies is

that garlic does its job and the excess of the organic materials not

being used in healing the infection is easily passed as harmless

vegetable fiber from the body. no harm and certainly

nothing but good could result from using this powerful, yet

harmless, herb. But, with the man-made sulfa drug we used,

eventually combined with the urine and formed a substance that cut

up the urinary tract, causing bed wetters. Many soldiers and other

servicemen were given medical discharges, because of " bed wetting " .

This habit was acquired while in the service after the use of sulfa

drugs. It is a well-known fact that too much sulfa drug has also

caused other problems. The sulphur in the garlic will assist in

healing the urinary tract after its infection-clearing job, instead

of damaging it.

Thank You for offering the article, now it will stick in my head. Garlic does work, my son can take capsule orally and when he had a cold/flu whatever you want to call it he took fresh minced garlic in capsule and man o man the healing within an hour was incrediable.

Garlic can be absorbed through the feet, you can taste it.

This is a great story...and gives me an idea for what to do with some

skin conditions I have. I have a couple of marks that were moles that

the Dr removed (scraped off) and didn't heal right. They were non

cancerous but they are annoying. I was going to try garlic but didn't

really want to put a garlic clove directly on the skin. So I'll try

it. I have a great garlic press now that I'm using with my food and I

don't even need to peel so I'll try it....Thanks for posting this.Colorful Colorado

By and large tapeworms do NOT cause pruritis when they pass and they

of course do not fit the previous description. It sounds most likely

that they are either whip or threadworms, _Trichuris trichiura_ or the

ever present pinworm _Enterobius vermicularis_.

 

Neither of these criters can be associated with undercooked red meat.

They both are considered soil transmitted parasites (E.v. is a

socially althought not necessarily sexually transmitted infection.

You usually self cure from E.v. after a

few rounds of the life cycle and the itching is very characteristics.

It is not usually treated unless sleeploss or pruritis are

compelling. T.t. may survive for years although the passage of worms

in the stool is not that frequent of an occurence (as was suggested by

this case). This infection can also be treated by a physician and

should respond

reasonably well.

 

BTW, Yomesan is the same drug as niclosamide. Taenia infections do

come from the consumption of raw meat as suggested by Francois, but

the case is not really consistent. Further, there are many other

parasitic infections that can be aquired by eating raw or undercooked

meat.

 

Many are far worse than those already considered. However, as a

devout and confirmed carnivore, I say know your prey, prepare it

adequately and pass the Worcestershire sauce.

following bit of info concerning this kind of infestation in South Africa.

>

> There are two main tapeworms here that people can get from meat. The

one from pigs is called Taenia solium and the one from cattle Taenia

saginata.

> If this was a South African case I would have said that the latter

was the problem.

> The proglottids (segments) of this tape-worm leave the host

spontaneously or during defaecation. It is espesially this spontaneous

movements that can be emmbarrassing because the segments can start

crawling out of the rectum any time when not epected.

>

> The tape-worm larvae forms small cysts (bovine measles) in the

muscles of cattle that serves as the intermediate host. When humans

eat contaminated meat that is not cooked properly like for example,

rare or underdone steak the get the cysts in, that forms a tape-worm.

> Tape-worm infection in humans is not lethal but signs like loss of

weight (note; not a good way of dieting), vitamine deficiency etc. may

occur.

> If however these cysts develop in a human for example in the brain

it can cause epilepsy, meningitis and paralysis but this don't usually

occur.

>

> For treatment literature recommend Atebrin, niclosamide,

praziquantel. This must be followed by a purgative, for example

magnesium sulphate to expell the dead worms.

> A very good medicine for tape-worms in South Africa is Yomesan.

>

> This is only a summary of the whole problem and the best advice

concerning treatment you will get from your doctor.

> If anybody more knowlegeable about this is reading my answer that

can supply > me with info on this kind of zoonosis in their country,

they can email me.
