You do lose several pounds of weight for a few hours, but this is due

Intestinal Flora and Parasites
Maintaining healthy intestinal fl ora is vitally important in colon function
as it aids many essential processes. Suffi cient amounts are needed of these
benefi cial bacteria, which require fi brous foods to multiply. Antibiotics
kill them, and it takes between six and twelve weeks to reinstate them to
normal levels. Take daily probiotics to help cope with the release of
unfriendly fl ora and to rebuild friendly intestinal fl ora. Many companies
sell probiotics either by mail order or in health-food stores. Also drink
chamomile fl ower tea or tincture; eat plenty of garlic and oregano, as they
have natural probiotic action and kill off various antibiotic-resistant
strains of bacteria. Soil organisms are also now being sold to help
repopulate the gut, and these will also kill parasites, which is a bonus as
parasites very frequently hide in dirty bowels. There are many herbs to
assist parasite removal. This is just one formula — two parts wormwood
leaf and one part black walnut hull, with cloves to remove the parasites’
eggs (for adults, 3 capsules 3 times daily for 2 weeks). The use of cloves
for parasitic eggs was originally researched by Hulda Clark.
Parasitic diseases and general systemic parasitic invasion of the body
are more prevalent than many people believe. They range from
microscopic organisms to threadworms to the well-known tapeworm.
One in six people is believed to be host to some kind of parasite or
another, and far from being a problem of “other countries,” it is prevalent
in the West. They can infest a weakened, sickly body, unable to fi ght their
introduction, or conversely they can be introduced into a relatively
healthy body and cause a slow or rapid decline, which shows baffl ing
symptoms yet causes sometimes disastrous results.
These parasites do not kill directly, but they can cause a range of
uncomfortable and debilitating symptoms according to the type of
parasite. Some lodge in and “coat” the inside of the small intestine,
preventing the absorption of nutrients from food. Others directly attack
components of the immune system and can lower resistance drastically
