HUMAWORM contains Milk Thistle - if a parasite cleanse does not contain Milk Thistle, then a small daily amount would be good. It does not kill parasite, but here is what it does do (copied from the http://www.humaworm.com website)- MILK THISTLE– The component that causes Milk Thistle to help in toxin clearance is silymarin. Milk Thistle aids in toxin clearance by promoting healthy liver cell regeneration and its antioxidant action protects against cell damage from toxins.

Do the flushes with the help of food supplements such as beets, and certainly apples and apple products.

If the Milk thistle is causing diarrhea, it may be wise not to increase the dose until you stop having diarrhea. Milk thistle promotes the health of the liver. The liver produces bile, and bile has a laxative action. If there is not some other cause of diarrhea, it should normalize as time goes on. Apart from that, you could have 1 gram (1000 mg) 3 times a day of Milk Thistle. You could take even larger doses of Milk thistle, but it would be expensive. 4,920 hits
