Home Remedies to Get Rid of Parasites and Worms in Humans

Food grade diatomaceous earth

Food grade diatomaceous earth (DE) is a non-toxic substance that you can use to get rid of intestinal parasites and worms.

Although diatomaceous earth is commonly used to get rid of bugs like fleas, roaches, and termites, it can also help to destroy parasites that live in your gut. A study in the journal Poultry Science reported that when DE was given to egg-laying hens, the number of hens with internal parasitic infections was reduced.

That may be great for hens, but can diatomaceous earth be used by humans to get rid of parasite infections? According to the National Pesticide Information Center, humans can safely ingest food grade diatomaceous earth.

How to use food grade diatomaceous earth for intestinal worm control:

When buying diatomaceous earth, be sure to look for a brand that is food grade, meaning that it is safe to ingest (here is one example).

This is how to use food grade diatomaceous earth if you want to get rid of worms or parasites from your intestinal system naturally:

1. Mix 1-2 tablespoons food grade diatomaceous earth in an 8 oz. glass of water and drink daily. As a precaution, you should start off by taking one teaspoon DE in a glass of water daily and gradually build up to the recommended dosage for parasite control.

2. Continue taking the DE anti-parasite drink for up to 2 weeks to completely get rid of the intestinal parasites.

Does science back up claims of using garlic to rid your body of parasites? The journal Parasitology Research published information on how a daily dose of garlic can help to kill off foodborne worms. Clinical trials showed that garlic helped to reduce the number and activity of flatworms in lab trials. The researchers concluded that garlic has potential anthelminthic activity.
