Mbravebird Thank you so much for sending me your answer, I would be very interested in the parasite cleanse you gave

to your child in case we may need to do that also.  Again thank so much oh how long has it been since your child had this issue?

My whole story of the parasite issue with myself is at http://www.howigotmyhealthback.com .

There are lots of treatment options there, but when I treated the baby I just did the very basic simple ones that I knew were safe -- the dried papaya seeds, and occasionally some cloves. I would grind them up (I used a mortar and pestle) and give it to him sandwiched between either coconut milk ice cream or a blob of honey, and then chase it with some water (the cloves can burn, so don't let them stay in the mouth for too long.) He loved it, as long as it didn't stay in his mouth long enough to let him taste the ground up stuff.

He's 21 months now, and it was just a couple of months ago that I did about two weeks of the above parasite treatment for him. It was a year ago that he swallowed the dog's blood, so he was 9 months old then.

Yes, this! Not doing parasite cleanses or incorporating as much parasite-discouraging foods is a real change from the way it used to be. We've developed cultural amnesia about it. 60% of people who have chronic hives test positive for parasites, and when treated all 60% stop having hives. And yet when we go to the doctor for a hives issue, they don't even know about those stats. I too think that we should all be doing more regular parasite cleanses -- not in a fear based way, but just in a self-care way.

absolutely-there doesn't need to be any fear involved.  You can do it with the changes of the season to get into a rhythm.  Think about the longest and shortest days of the year to start a gentle process.  It is a way oh honoring our bodies (and our ancestry!) and will benefit us greatly.

I also take daily measures (diet and clay) to make sure I'm functioning at my peak because it's just how I feel better.

I don't generally use herbs, but I do love them for this particular issue.  In moderation.  Homeopathy and flowers are also amazing assets.
