Hi,

I've made quite some research on this topic and have found not one single reliable source that would recommend any remedy for parasites. Existing antiparasitic medications are quite effective. Have you been positive on a stool parasite test?

NO i have just been told I should give it a try. My friend tried an herbal formula and found worms in his stool the next day!

These cleanses may be gambling. It may worsen your symptoms. If worms have appeared in the stool, it doesn't mean they are eradicated.

So what do you suggest? Should I get my stool tested first?

Talk to your doctor if you think you have problems with parasites.
