AlsoIf you google Parastroy and scroll down to where it has Lindsey Duncan D.C. there is lots of good info. I order mine from vitacost for about $12 a kit.
I usually order 2 kits at a time. There is other good info under the word Parastroy as well. The kit comes with directions and 2 CDs. You will receive 2 bottles of 90 caps each.
I bottle says Para Rid and one bottle says Para Sweep. It says to start with 2 capsules each twice a day. You might want to start with one capsule of each (Para Rid and Para Sweep) twice a day and work your way up.
I and another member here are having great success with this. The key is that you must stay on it for at least 6 mos with a 1 month break. I am up to 6 caps a day and it is really knocking these parasites out. If you need more info just pm me and I will try and help.
Oh, take it with food because the caps contain HCL and enzymes for easier digestion. Hope this is clear.

Thank you, Gael! You are always helping me out it seems, so thank you so much!
When you take something like this, can you tell me, are you in the bathroom often? Are you running there or can you wait?
I'd like to try this on my kids too but I don't know if they could take it while in school...
Posted by 17hens (Member # 23747) on :
Oh, and if you have to take it with food, can you take it at the same time as abx or supplements?
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
Your very welcome. Glad to see your going after the parasites. It hasn't made me run to the bathroomat all, but everyone is different.
I would not take it at the same time as abx or other supplements. You want to give it a chance to work on it's own. You can always take it with a snack. Let me know how you do and good luck.

Posted by PaulR2006 (Member # 25519) on :
Just for clarification, should I be completely off abx before going after parasites, or do you mean, don't take the parasite med at the same time as you take your abx med?
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
I am not on abx right now myself, however as far as I know, others here that do both herbs and abx just take them seperately as in several hours apart. Hopefully others that have done and do both will come along for more clarity.
Please check with your doctor as this is not meant to be medical advce, just my personal experience.
It has alot of good information and even breaks down each ingredient to let you know what it's going after.
It's very easy on the stomach as it is not a cleanse..
You can take it while you're on abx but usually an hour away.
You can also buy it in most health food stores and the price is usually around $35.00. It costs a little more but it's definitely worth it.
Let us know how it works out for you. Posted by 17hens (Member # 23747) on :
Thank you, Gael and Lululymemom, for your help!!
Posted by BackinStOlaf (Member # 23725) on :
Another thing to add to the list. Not sure how I would take this far away from abx and supplements as I feel like I take them all day and have no extra time in between
Posted by Scrappy (Member # 25888) on :
I'm with you on that BackInStOlaf. I don't know where I would fit this in exclusively.
I also had the same question as 17hens about whether or not a parasite cleans can be done or should be done when on abx.
Therefore, I've been reluctant to order (I'm leaning toward Humaworm) some until I find answers on this issue.
Posted by 17hens (Member # 23747) on :
If you read the link from lululymemom, it says, "The herbs have no major side effects and don't interact with drugs."
Posted by canefan17 (Member # 22149) on :
Those of you on antibiotics or lots of herbs and supps... You need to understand that adding an antiparasitic program to a Lyme program can put A LOT of stress on the adrenals.
Better have adrenal support in place.
If you think you suffer from extreme adrenal fatigue... This will make it worse (especially humaworms complex formula)
Posted by lululymemom (Member # 26405) on :
Just to clarify, Purge Parasitis is not a typical cleanse. It is very easily tolerated in our experience and should be taken an hour away from abx.
Of course, if you are already on many other supplements, you may have a system overload. I personally would never go on more than 4 at a time.
It's all in what you can tolerate and bringing it in to your LLND or LLMD and asking their opinion.
Posted by Scrappy (Member # 25888) on :
Sounds like I might want to postpone any Humaworm treatment for the time being. Thanks canefan17.
lululymemom, I did ask my LLMD. He stated this is alright to do a parasite cleanse when I asked. He thinks that it is unlikely that I harbor parasites; I can't help but wonder though. He offered up a wormwood supplement in stock at his office, but I didn't pursue since I was unsure if that was comprehensive enough.
Posted by canefan17 (Member # 22149) on :
Scrappy,
There's a GREAT chance that you DO harbor parasites.
You'll find out once you start treating (that's how I found out)
Posted by lululymemom (Member # 26405) on :
Scrappy,
I take wormwood (artemesia) as well to treat Babesia. There is a good chance that you can have parasites even though they may not show up on any tests. The only real way to know is to treat. Also, if you are not making progress on existing abx, this could be the reason.

Scrappy,
Treating for parasites is very important and can be a big factor in getting well. I used to take pantothenic acid (b-5) when my adrenals felt weak.
I also do the salt/c protocol. Both salt (sea salt) and vitamin c are great for the adrenals. Dr. K. treats ALL of his patients for parasites before anything else.
Remember folks also that one month is never enough.

Posted by Scrappy (Member # 25888) on :
canefan17, lululymemom, glm1111, thank you for the responses.
I'm now confused though. What is the difference, if any, between the wormwood (artemisia) and the artemisin (Zhang - if that matters) I took when I did treatment for babesia?
Posted by lululymemom (Member # 26405) on :
Not everyone will respond the same way to the different forms of artemisia. Dr. Zhang adds different ingredients to his capsules so they can be a little more potent. Artemisinin is a derivative of wormwood. I prefer wormwood tincture because that is the one that I find works for me.
It appears most on here take Artemisinin.
Posted by canefan17 (Member # 22149) on :
Artemisinin is a constituent of the artemisia annua herb/plant. they just extract it from the plant.
Artemisinin is pharmaceutical grade stuff. (potent)
Zhang uses the whole plant (generally safer and can be used longer)
He also adds Astragalus and Red Root(detox lymph) to his formula though. And if you have chronic Lyme Astragalus is contradicted in that it can cause auto-immune reactions.
It boosts certain parts of the immune system that we generally don't want boosting.
Astragalus is great for preventing Lyme! not so much for all of us though.
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
The three most important herbs to get rid of parasites, larva and eggs are Wormwood (artemesia absinthium) cloves and black walnut hull.
These three herbs along with others are always included in any good antiparasitic tx. If you don't get rid of the eggs, the whole cycle will start all over again. Google Hulda Clark for more info on parasites.

glm is the best. Take her advice. She's helped me big time with parasites.
And the more I read and experience this... the more I think she's on to soemthing with the 6months/1 month break & repeat.
I did 1 month of humaworm thinking... ok, done with that.
I was wrong lol
I start Hannah Kroegers herbs and no doubt had quite a few parasite herxes(they are much different from Lyme herxes imo)
I will continue to treat parasites for awhile.
A lady I know here in town is done with all her Lyme treatment and she is on a maintenance dose of anti-parasitic herbs for life.
