Natural Parasite Cleanse

our liver and kidneys do a really great job of cleansing our bodies. thats kind of their JOB.....

If you have actual parasites, then you need real medicine. Not something that you will get off the shelf that will be more of a diarrhetic

Don't believe these "natural" supplement testimonies and claims. They can say anything they want to sell it due to it NOT being FDA regulated.

Any particular reason you think you have parasites?

I know this is a "trend" right now, but do you actually think you have parasites? And if so, what kind? Worms specifically?

I don’t have any symptoms of worms, but you never know. I was thinking if, for example, drinking a blended head of garlic for a week would kill anything that may be in there, I might as well try it. You know, natural things that can’t do any damage. I’m hesitant to try any of these non-FDA Amazon treatments, so something I can make that is harmless otherwise is ideal…

I don't have symptoms of a broken arm but you never know, so I might get a cast put on it.

Does that not sound really silly to you?

You are suppossed to have things living in your gut - if they are in balance that is good.

If not (you are getting some sort of relevant symptoms like bloating, mild nausea) - try probiotics or the like - or see a Dr if more serious symptoms or if you do not improve.

If you have symptoms like rectal itching, soreness, use a regular de worming product from the pharmacy

Cannot see any point in treating parasites you do not know are there and have no symptoms of them being there - nor the point of drinking garlic for any purpose whatsoever

We call that a natural fallacy. There is plenty of natural things they can hurt you, especially in the wrong dosage.

Just eat a healthy diet, exercise and lose weight if needed.

This is ridiculous. I wish people would stop googling medical stuff and then doing silly things like this.

I'm a doctor, so I deal with this a lot.

First, drinking a blended head of garlic isn't going to kill any parasites in your intestines. Garlic is food, it gets digested. It has some chemicals in it that might be beneficial, so if you like drinking blended garlic and it doesn't make you feel ill, then go nuts. For me, this would make me so sick, I would feel like I'm dying, but I lack the enzymes to properly digest raw onions and garlic. So yeah, I would be horribly, horribly sick if I did this, despite it being natural.

As for parasites you might have, sure, you might have some parasites, but the vast majority of them are harmless, just like the vast majority of bacteria. So even if you can rid yourself of parasites, the treatments that effectively do so are really hard on your body, so why would you want to unless a parasite is causing you problems.

It's best to just accept that your digestive tract is home to a metric F-ton of foreign critters. The best way to maintain a healthy population of happy little bugs is not to try and kill them, but to try and keep the populations of the healthy ones really high. This is where nutrition comes in. Keep feeding the good bugs and they'll bully out the bad ones.

Lastly, let's talk about natural supplements and treatments.
Uh...those are NOT safe. I don't know if you know this, but the "natural" products world is highly unregulated, with a lot of those pills coming from China, which has even less regulation. No one tests them, and when they do test them, they usually find horrible, horrible stuff in them, and even when they do find horrible stuff in them, there's no regulation to stop them from doing that, so the products just stay on the market.

What do I mean by horrible stuff? Well, a TON of "natural" supplements actually have black market drugs in them. A prime example is that a lot of men's supplements for virility, which claim to have herbs, actually have totally unpredictable amounts of viagra in them. And not pharmaceutical grade viagra, but some low grade black market garbage made by an unregulated lab in China.

So yeah, so much for being "natural" and "safe." More like totally unregulated, potentially highly chemical, and dangerous. A lot of "health" pills are more stepped on than street drugs, and just as unpredictable in terms of what you are getting. And like street drugs, you're probably just paying a ton of money for something that's mostly chemical laxatives. Because pooping a TON makes consumers feel like the pill did something. It also temporarily makes them lose weight, which also makes people feel like it did something.

There are some reputable supplement companies, but none of them would make a BS "parasite cleanse" because there's no real science behind this, so they wouldn't compromise their reputation selling such a nonsense product. So then you really have to wonder about the standards of a company that would...

The supplement industry is one of the dirtiest in the world, so go ahead and drink a blended head of garlic and see how it makes you feel. Hopefully you don't blow up like a puffer fish and vomit all day like I would, but don't pay good money to garbage-peddling supplement companies that are well known to lie and drug people with literal drugs made in some basement in China with no safety regulation.

Doing it routinely is bit unneccesary - but I have de wormed my kids before.

They were young - 4 or 5 ish - and had actual symptoms - itchy bottom, redness around the *kitten* - and at night could shine a torch there and see tiny worms.

But I bought a reputable approved product from the pharmacy and treated a real problem.

Anecdote: We were friends with a couple who were big believers in consuming lots and lots of raw garlic, for some perceived health benefit. (I didn't ask too many questions.)

Thing is, they both smelled strongly of garlic all the time. I don't know whether this was simply an aura from being around lots of cutting and blending, or if some of the chemicals make their way into sweat or otherwise influence normal bodily smells, but it was striking.

They were nice people, so we kept socializing with them, but I suspect some more scent-sensitive people would've avoided them - it was that noticeable.

So, +1 to comments above that natural things can be bad for your health, that medical treatments "just in case" are inappropriate, etc. . . . but I think it's possible that this particular one could also be bad for your social or professional life. 🤷‍♀️
