While most people throw them away, papaya seeds and not only edible, small amounts of them in your diet can be surprisingly good for you.
Keep in mind though that chewing half a teaspoon of the seeds is not like eating papaya fruit. They have a strong flavor, more like a cross between mustard and black peppercorns.
If you can handle that, ahead are some of the main health benefits of papaya seeds, followed by some interesting ways to add them to your diet.
Papaya Seeds, Worms and Other Parasitic Infections
Like green papaya, the seeds contain high levels of proteolytic enzymes like papain which can help rid your body of parasites. In the same way that papain breaks down protein waste, it may also break down parasites and their eggs.
Good levels of digestive enzymes in your diet are also believed to help normalize the environment in your intestinal tract, making it less hospitable to worms and other parasites. Green papaya capsules and high-strength powder are a simple alternative if you don’t have the fresh fruit and its seeds available.
The seeds from papaya also contain a unique anthelmintic alkaloid called carpaine that has been shown to be very effective at killing parasitic worms and amoebas. There is much more detail on the parasite problem and a specific treatment to get rid of them in How to Use Papaya Seeds for Parasites.
Papaya Seeds as a Treatment for Liver Cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis is a disease, often caused by excessive alcohol consumption over many years, wherein the liver shrinks and becomes hardened. In this state it is ineffective at removing toxins from the body, leading to a variety of serious health problems.
Papaya seeds are often reported as an effective treatment for liver cirrhosis. One method is to grind up around five dried seeds in a pepper grinder, or crush up fresh ones in a mortar and pestle, and mix them with a tablespoon of fresh lime juice. Drink this down twice a day for a month. Many cirrhosis sufferers have had dramatic improvements with this powerful natural treatment.
Obviously consult your doctor first if you are being treated for cirrhosis of the liver, especially with regards to the papain enzyme that may interfere with medications.
Even for people without such obvious liver damage, a small amount of papaya seeds taken regularly is said to help with liver detoxification. And anything that can improve the vital functions of the liver will be likely to improve our health in general.
Antibacterial Properties
The seeds of papaya are believed to have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect on our digestive systems. Studies have shown an extract made from them is effective at killing E coli, Salmonella, Staph and other dangerous bacterial infections.
Once again, their potent digestive enzymes like papain can help change the intestinal environment to one that is more favorable to the ‘good’ bacteria and less so to the bad ones that can cause so many health problems.
Precautions and Warnings
As a precaution, pregnant women should not use papaya seeds or the enzyme rich green papaya. There is also some animal research suggesting they may temporarily reduce a man’s fertility. I’ll leave it up to male readers whether they currently consider that a good or bad thing. Regardless, as with any substance with a strong physiological effect, it is best to take regular breaks rather than using it continuously for several months.
The side effects and warnings for papaya enzymes on the previous page would especially apply to papaya seeds as well so keep that in mind if you are currently dealing with any of the health conditions mentioned there.
Papaya seeds with their high levels of carpaine and papain and other digestive enzymes are powerful. You don’t need many at a time, certainly not a whole fruit’s worth. After you scrape them out of a fresh fruit, it’s best to keep them in a sealed container in the fridge if you’re using them regularly, or in the freezer if only occasionally.
The next page will look at using papaya seeds for digestive health, including some unusual ways to add them into your diet.

Does Papya seeds help to cure hepatisis “B”?
Thank you
Hi Moe,
Papaya seeds have apparently been used to treat liver damage resulting from hepatitis B in a similar way to the method for liver cirrhosis as described above.
I wouldn’t call this a cure though and would recommend discussing this with a practitioner, particularly if any medications are being taken for the condition.
I almost sprang up 2 go in search of papaya seeds cos of d numerous. Health benefits discussed here, but got a shocker whn I read further and realized
d fertility implication. Pls, hw temporal iz d effect?
Hi Paul. The effects are said to be temporary and not long term but may last for up to a month and a half.
Here’s an article with more details – http://www.naturalnews.com/029126_birth_control_papaya.html
Thank you for sharing this information. I am on day 2 but have been doing smoothies and eating healthy off and on for about 2-3 years (after a long struggle of health for about 15 years).
I went overseas 2-3 years ago and am sure i picked up some nasty parasites. Doctors were unreliable and were eager to throw antibiotics (which made the problem worse as candida overgrowth set in). I am now breastfeeding but feel comfortable consuming a normal portion of papaya et al a day.
I add flax seed and psyllium husk powder to the smoothie recipe and use dried cloves. Will this inhibit any effects?
Thank you again.
Hi Becks and thanks for commenting on the alternate page. I was hoping people still would.
You’re far from alone with the health issues arising from antibiotic use. Really hope this improves for you. I’ll be writing more on candida in future posts on Superfood Profiles.
Flaxseed is good and psyllium husks (in small doses) should be fine. The only thing I would suggest is to check using the cloves with your Pediatrician or other health care professional. There are some warnings about using them when breastfeeding. While these can be blanket statements cloves contain some powerful compounds so it would be worth checking.
Hope this helps.
Just a general comment: when talking about “superfoods” and what great things they do, people need to realize that simply ingesting these foods while continuing to eat “bad” foods will not work. One’s diet must be overall “Alkaline” and healthy for our bodies to function properly. As a pharmacist, I am constantly amazed at how poorly people eat, but the government, and the media (i.e. Brand Name food advertisers) do not point us in the right direction. And conventional medicine pushes pills for everything instead of getting to the root of the problem. So people are taught to look for a pill or procedure to solve health problems, when good nutrition would prevent, as well as cure, them. Kudos to you and your site, giving information on the types of foods people should be eating instead of the processed chemicals found in modern grocery stores. Hippocrates knew that FOOD is the basis of health.
Thank you Cynthia. And you are right that the government, corporations and the media are not at all helpful for people wanting to improve their health. Though if much larger numbers of people were healthy with a clear mind, rather than sick and exhausted, I doubt they would be so easy to direct and market to.
Hi there, thanks for all this great info about papaya seeds and parasites. I am a nursing mother…so if i understand corrcectly, no seeds for me then? Or are small doses ok? What would you suggest as an alternative? What about GSE or neem leaf extract? Think you again.
Oops…THANK you again. Also, do you have a pregnancy/nursing friendly recipe for the smoothie recipe?
Hi Caroline,
It would be best to avoid the papaya seeds themselves during pregnancy and nursing but the other ingredients in the smoothie are all valuable in and of themselves. Fresh coconut pulp is very good for changing the intestinal environment to one that is less favorable for parasites and would likely be healthy for the baby as well.
Both Grape seed oil and neem have recommendations against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. While these recommendations often seem to be applied in a blanket way to any substance that has physiological effects, I’d have to advise discussing using them with a knowledgeable health care professional.
Hope this helps.
can u have papaya instead of dinner??
Hi Kirti. Fresh papaya itself is good to eat any time you like. Unlike most fruit it can be eaten after a protein meal as it helps with its digestion.
The papaya seed smoothie though would be far more effective first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Hi Jim,
Let me just say that I am both petrified and fascinated with the information from the other site about papaya seeds and killing parasites. I’m from Belize and as a child, I remember passing out parasites after being forced to take “ketrax’ pills. I would love to try the mixture, but I’m deathly afraid of what I might see. Could you recommend a medicine that might completely grind them so that they don’t come out half dead? Sorry for being so graphic. I remember screaming when I knew they were coming out. I think the ketrax weakened their grip on the intestinal walls and they came out alive. Someone always had to come and help me. Now I’m an adult and on my own with the issue. Would a colonic help to get them out? I definitely have a phobia. If I see a dead earthworm on the side walk, I will literally go across the street. Please advise. Thanks so much.
Faith
Hi Faith,
With the exception of large tapeworms like the one described by Patrice in the comments in http://superfoodprofiles.com/papaya-seeds-parasites you’re unlikely to see most worms or other parasites unless you are doing a close ‘examination’. If you’re using the castor oil in particular and even with the triphala things come out fast.
Colonics help clear out compacted areas where they breed and can be helpful. The paratrax treatment has diatomaceous earth along with parasite killing herbs as one of it’s main ingredients. This is supposed to help ‘shred’ the worms and their eggs protective coatings so it could be an option to make sure they are dead – http://superfoodprofiles.com/go/paratrax-global-healing-center
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for replying, Jim. I know I have them and it’s imperative that I do something about it. I will check back and let you know. Again, your post along with the cooments are very helpful. I’ve already passed on the information to others.
Hi,
I want to know how papaya seeds can be use to cure staph
Hi Anastasia,
Papaya seeds are antibacterial and have been shown to destroy Staphylococcus infections in the lab but I couldn’t advise them as a specific cure. Anyone with a staph infection should see a knowledgeable health care professional.
Hi Jim–
I have been researching natural methods for ridding of parasites since I tested positive for a “non-human, ingested protozoan parasite of unknown taxonomy” last year. Antibiotics have not worked.
Thank you for sharing the shake recipe. I tried it yesterday along w/ some castor oil for “stage 2″. It worked very well. Was actually quite uncomfortable and I believe my system is so sensitive moving forward I will need to utilize a milder evacuation stimulant. Ouch.
All that said, today I feel so good! I have been suffering for a year – feeling sick, dizzy, a pain in my left side, unable to eat anything that digests normally, my exercise affected. This morning – energy, brightness, no dizziness or pain in my side, and no bloating after breakfast. Incredible.
I realize I likely need more shakes/laxatives but could not continue due to work this morning. This will be hard to plan. I’m really hoping that having a gap in consuming the shakes won’t allow the parasites to come right back. You mentioned 3-4 days consecutively, then again to capture the egg cycle. Would you so kindly say more about the duration of time relevant to how frequently the shake/evacuation process needs to occur to ensure a complete extermination?
Thank you again,
-Jennie
Hi Jennie and thanks for your comments.
I’d try the triphala at a higher dose of two teaspoons, stirred up so you drink the sediment as well. This should be effective without the ‘dramatic’ effects of castor oil. It also has many health benefits taken more regularly at smaller doses as described here – http://superfoodprofiles.com/how-to-take-triphala-churna
Timing is an inexact science but my research pointed to a 3-4 day treatment every fortnight for a couple of months. Alternatively, every weekend for the same sort of time period. I’m aware that’s a bit of fruit to buy but if you can find papayas in bulk at a good price you can freeze both the seeds and the pulp for future use. A large one should provide enough seeds for half a dozen treatments and a little less of the fruit itself could be used without problem.
Hope this helps and best of luck with getting this resolved.
Hi Jim,
I have red your article about how a papaya smoothie can expel worms. I am vrry muh interested as I suspect Ihave. I am 24 years old now and still a student. Since I am a child maybe estimated at 12 years old I have always been weak, always feeling tired and sickly. I am also underweight. Till now any effort to gain weight does not prosper. i have taken all kind of vitamins from energy boosting to appetite stimulant(though my appetite is normal just to have more appetite to gain weight) but no effect on my body.. I also tried memory enhancing supplements because of my being forgetful. Maybe its weird but i rarely feel itch and like something in your anus is tickling or trying to go out or something but as I said its very rare (like consecutive 2days in 4 mos) and then its gone so I thought it just it comes and go. somewhere in my teens I told my mom about it and she taken me to a doctor to know if i have worm but the doctor only laughs at us and only reccomended combantrin and thats it, no test.. He said Im old enough to still have worms..So yeah since I was a child till now I only had taken combantrin twice as Iam also afraid going to bathroom having worm sticking in my butt and have to pull it out.. and I rarely eat papaya and in small portions as its not my favorite fruit. But just last monday I experience again the ticlking in my anus or butthole and to my curiosity search it now and I found out the symptoms i have half my life. I thought I was just born weak and sickly but now I have sudden realization that what I am experiencing the weakness, sickly, forgetfullness, fatigue is because of this parasites.. At some days I also experience switching between diarrhea and constipation. i never thought having worms can really be that dangerous so I was really alarmed.. And now i found a light that if I expel this worms out of my system, Ill have a chance on a healthier life .. When I was 19 I was diagnosed with gastric problem but now It only severes when im stressed but since then i also avoided pineapple so can I remove the pineapple ingredients? And after how many hours can you eat after taking castor oil? Im really excited to try it although i am afraid of long worms to be pulled out I will do it as I want to be healthy already.. But as much I want to start, ill start next month as I am away from home and I dont have a blender to use.. Lol..
Hi Iaine,
Some of the symptoms you have described are possibly pinworms though other types of parasites can be difficult to diagnose, hence the reason why many doctors are either unaware of them or dismiss them outright. Regardless, parasitologists recognize that intestinal worms are a significant health problem across the world, even in ‘developed’ countries.
If you would like to try the papaya seed smoothie recipe then the pineapple is not essential (though helpful) but you would obviously need a good blender like the one suggested on the main page.
I feel it would be helpful for you to some more research on this, perhaps at the curezone online forums with a search for parasites or websites like this – http://superfoodprofiles.com/go/global-healing-center-harmful-organisms
Hope this helps.
hi, does papaya seeds help to recover harmonal problems??
Hi Sara,
I haven’t read of anyone using papaya seeds for hormonal problems, though it would be worth reading this page for more information on similar issues – http://superfoodprofiles.com/papaya-enzyme-side-effects-warnings
I’d think some of the recommendations in this page would be more relevant for balancing hormones – http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/balance-your-hormones-naturally/
Hope this helps.
ok thanx…
Hi Jim, thanks alot for these health tips. I would like to know whether i can possibly use papa seeds to treat microfilariae as the orthodox medicines as DEC, Ivermectin, albendazole, antibiotics have been ineffective so far. I have bin suffering from this condition for 4 years now and am currently using alternatives like garlic, ginger, fruits to fight this condition but there is not much improvememt. Hope i would hear from you. Thanks!
Hi Ossa,
Unfortunately there’s little on the subject and I can’t find anything specifically on using papaya seeds as a treatment for microfilariae, but it can be beneficial to treat these kind of conditions with a variety of anti-parasitics to see which works best for you. Aside from the papaya seeds, fenugreek seeds, grapefruit seed oil or fresh non irradiated cloves may be worth investigating. I wouldn’t give up on garlic or ginger just yet either but they may be more effective combined with other treatments.
Hope this helps
Hey Jim,
I was just curious about your papaya seed smoothie:
1. for the yogurt, could/should I use non-dairy yogurt, like soy? I’ve been going dairy-free recently, just to see if it helped my general digestive comfort, so I wanted to stick to that if possible. The one I’m looking at in particular has L. acidophilus and B. bifidum, which I’ve read in many places are the ones you want most in your gut. I’ve noticed that these yogurts and yogurt in general tend to have quite a bit of sugar, which I’ve read are food for parasites, but maybe it depends on the type of sugar that is included?
2. for the coconut water, what about coconut milk if I can’t find coconut water? Is there even a difference? I’ve seen coconut milk many places but haven’t noticed or actively searched for coconut water, so I don’t know. If I do need the coconut water, I have no problem looking harder.
3. I’m used to including an avocado in my smoothies; would you recommend this in , or leave it for my other smoothies? My general go-to has been 1 avocado, 1 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, some spinach, some flax seed, and 1 and 1/2 cups coconut/almond milk; all organic btw. This was before I found out about the possibility of me having parasites and before this papaya seed recipe, so any/all of these ingredients (particularly the banana, with its sugar…) would be subject to removal from my usual smoothie or added (like the avocado, maybe even spinach?) to the new papaya seed smoothie. So I’m just curious if additions such as these would be recommended to your recipe (too much of good things?). I’d have no problem consolidating these two smoothie recipes into one just for simplicity’s sake.
4. Finally, as an addition both to your recipe and my usual one, what about garlic? I’ve read that’s really good for anti-parasites, and was planning on adding it to my usual recipe until I found yours as well.
Hi Yusof,
These kind of changes are fine. The papaya seeds and the other main ingredients are the important ones and not so much the yogurt. I agree with avoiding sugary commercial yogurt and was referring to true cultured yogurt but using just the almond milk you mentioned (as long as it’s low/no sugar) would be ok. While I agree with avoiding regular milk I’m not particularly big on soy milk either I’m afraid.
Coconut milk is a great addition to stirfrys and other cooking but I feel that putting enough in to blend this smoothie might be too filling. If you try it remove the coconut oil from the ingredients as it’s already in that. Another good option is the coconut based milk alternatives that are becoming popular now. One of those would be ideal.
Though not particularly targeted at parasites, your usual smoothie ingredients would be healthy if you’d like to add them as well. Perhaps with the exception of the banana which is a little high in sugar for the moment. The papaya and pineapple with their digestive enzymes would be better of this purpose and still give a great taste.
If you can add the garlic and it still tastes ok that would be great. I tend to use a bit of it in more savory dishes but would be interested to hear whether it overpowers the smoothie taste.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the quick response. I think I’ll just try your recipe as is for the moment, then see if adding avocado later makes any difference in taste.
I had another question though, concerning the leftover papaya and seeds. Obviously, I can use the seeds for future smoothies, and the papaya as well, but what about eating the papaya before meals or as a snack? I’m concerned that eating the fruit by itself would feed the parasites too easily. Would taking a papain enzyme supplement before meals be better?
Thanks,
Yusof
Hi Jim – Is this something that I need to clear my schedule for to prepare for a huge blowout? Also, Would a colonoscopy/upper endoscopy have shown signs of parasites? I have been having stomach issues for almost 10 yrs now, and most of them started after I came back from a visit to Tanzania. I’ve had my gallbladder removed and had every test known to man performed on me. Thanks for the help.
Hi David,
It’s best to start on the weekend when you don’t have to go out for a few hours if you can to see how your digestive system reacts the first time. Rushing to work isn’t ideal but you’ll usually have an hour or two before ‘results’.
Apparently it depends on the type of parasites with a colonoscopy and whether the doctor is specifically looking for them. A large tapeworm would be difficult to miss but many smaller types of parasites are unlikely to be detected.
I’d suggest considering the effects mentioned in the original article and the precautions on this page – http://superfoodprofiles.com/papaya-enzyme-side-effects-warnings and whether it’s worth doing this kind of cleanse regardless of whether you have specific proof if you suspect parasites could be a problem. It’s a very long time to have been suffering from these kind of problems. I’d recommend discussing it with your physician and if you do decide to go ahead with the smoothie then plan for a longer treatment time and start of slow, perhaps just teaspoon or less of papaya seeds at the start.
Hope this helps and you can get this resolved.
Hi. I am pretty positive I have worms/ parasites. I’ve had recurring “stomach bugs” at least every month, sometimes every 2 weeks. And I started to get them after I bought my dog. Me and my husband have suffered with the stomach problems for 3 years before I clued in as to what it could be. Now I really need your help because I am breastfeeding and I want to get rid of these things NOW. Is there anything that you can recommend for me to try and get rid of them with no ill effects to my 14 month old? I know my hubby will try the papaya smoothie recipe. But I need to be rid of these also. I am so sick of being sick on a monthly basis. It’s just not fun. Any help at all is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for this site and all the information you have provided.
Hi Catherine,
Thanks for your comments. It often seems that breastfeeding women are advised to avoid a lot of natural products without any specific reasons given. That said, papaya seeds are powerful so I can’t recommend them for breastfeeding or especially pregnant women.
Pumpkin seeds though are another natural intestinal worm remedy and I can’t find any problems noted with having them while breastfeeding. This page has a recipe for using them for intestinal worms – http://superfoodprofiles.com/pumpkin-seeds-parasites-intestinal-worms
Hope this helps.
hi Jim…
I delivered a baby 2mnths back .Since then I had been facing severe pain while passing stool and even after that … To my surprise i have been diagnosed with anal fissure. Initially it wasn’t very painful but as the day are passing it is getting much worser.. I have started bleeding since 2weeks while passing stool… And the pain lasts for hours after my bowel movements.. Doctors have sgstd me to add up papaya to my diet…. My big concern is that I am breastfeeding so will it have any ill effects and will papaya seeds be beneficial for…. Also pls temme d amt of papaya or its seeds to be taken daily….
Hi Munazza,
Papaya fruit would definitely be good to eat regularly if you can get it. The large amounts of papaya seeds in the parasite killing smoothie isn’t something I’d recommend for breast feeding women but you could keep the papaya seeds in the freezer until you finish breast feeding and use them then. As a hard seed there is no reason for them to go off once frozen and you may find them beneficial in the future.
Hope this helps.
Hey there,
I have been having a teaspoon of crushed papaya seeds with some lemon juice both morning and night for the past month in hope it can cure my fibrosis/cirrhosis. I’m not sure if its helped yet as I haven’t gone for any tests but was curious as to how long I keep having the seeds for? Do I just stop? ease off them? or just keep on taking them? or up the dosage?
Thanks for the article.
Dean
Hi Dean,
It’s best to take at least a week off every month from treatments like these. As long as you feel they are well tolerated you could then have them for another month after which you would take at least a two week break and so on. Each month adding an extra week until it’s a month on month off if you still felt like taking them. Keep in mind the precautions mentioned at the end of the article.
I’d be very interested to hear your results if you get a chance after your tests come back and best of luck with your healing.
Jim
Thanks for your reply.
Ill be starting tomorrow for my smoothie. I’m excited at the same time nervous of what will come out. hopefully the’yll just be in my stools.. im juat curious if you can pinpoint if you have lots or just few is on the size of your stomach.. and will i’ll be experiencing weight loss? im concerned about it as i am already thin.. and is a tea laxative ok as an alternative to castor oil or the other one you suggested..? another is i cant find dessicated coconut, amd im adding carrots, is it ok like that… thanks
i had taken my first smoothie and it taste real good.. I added honey as its available on the fridge but ithink its not pure so im planning to buy. i dont have coconut water or desicated coconut but i added carrots.. ive taken senna tea 2 hrs after..at about 2pm I went to toilet room.. im afraid of what will comeout.. it took me 30 minutes to finish.. i never seen anything.. immediately after i finished, i went back again.. as soon as i sit fluid came out after i finished ive seen a small black looking like worm like only half inch floating but not moving..im not sure what kind it is but im sure its a worm.. im not feeling any die off reaction today..
its my day 2 and i dont feel anything at all.. is it not working? sorry if I post everyday but i have a question.
after the four day treatment can i continue on eating other foods like rice and meat without finishing the 3 months as I am not used to eating meals without them.. or continue until its all finished.. also I eat a little rice eventhough im under it right, is it okay? thanks!
Hi Iaine,
Brown rice and organic meat would be better. Regular supermarket meats can have many residues in them, especially in the US unfortunately.
If the treatment is well tolerated you can slowly increase the amount of papaya seeds, perhaps by just a quarter of a teaspoon at a time. Reduce this if you feel you are going through too much detoxification and particularly if you don’t feel better after going to the bathroom.
Hope this helps.
Hi Iaine,
Glad the smoothie tastes good. Probably better without honey unless it’s Manuka. It’s good that you were able to see something but this is probably a small percentage of what may come out. It’s probably better to see this as a longer term cleansing program rather being too concerned.
Hi Iaine,
You won’t always see the worms even if you do expel them as they are usually compacted in the stool. You can use alternatives to castor oil like triphala or your tea as long are getting you to the bathroom. This shouldn’t lead to muscles loss but likely a little less belly weight. Desiccated coconut like this http://superfoodprofiles.com/go/desiccated-coconut-amazon is a bit better for this but carrot is fine too.
Hope this helps
Hi Jim,
I have been suffering from stomach problems, i.e. gas, diarrhea, bloating, gurgling, for the past three months. My doctor ran urine, blood, and stool tests – all which came back normal. He decided that I had IBS and referred me to a GI. This was very stressful as I tried finding cures for IBS, but nothing was working.
After just learning to deal with the symptoms I noticed that a strange mucus like worm of some sort was coming out of my bowels and I found your papaya seed smoothie recipe. I have been drinking it every morning for the past five days and have seen a significant improvement. I am using 1Tbs papaya seeds, papaya, pineapple, pumpkin seeds, coconut, coconut oil, and kefir. There is much less gas and hardly any gurgling. I took two capsules of triphala last night (fourth day) and had a majorly uncomfortable movement this morning, but it seems it was a good cleansing. I am also taking ParaFree, which I found at Whole Foods and contains black walnut, wormwood, and clove. This also seems to be working very well.
I plan on staying on the smoothie for 7 days then taking a week break and starting up again for another two or three days as you suggested. Would it be alright to get a colonic to expel anything that may not be coming out with the Triphala alone? Would eating raw garlic be helpful at this point as well?
Thank you so much. This has really helped me and I’m able to get through a whole yoga class again without feeling uncomfortable.
Hi Anne and thanks for your comments.
It sounds like the treatment is working well for you. The kefir is a good edition too. I’d usually suggest a little more triphala but if that amount is getting the desired result then that’s fine. If not then you could increase it.
The black walnut, wormwood and clove capsules are beneficial and I’ve recently written about them here – http://superfoodprofiles.com/black-walnut-parasites-intestinal-worms I’ve also read suggestions of adding black walnut tincture to colonics to really get at any parasites directly. There’s a good one in that link. Raw garlic is helpful to have during a parasite treatment as well.
I’d suggest sticking with what’s working for you for at least 6 weeks including the weeks off to make sure you deal with it but glad you’re seeing improvements.
I want to first thank you for work and knowledge and the sharing of it. I have had Ibs and refuse it as a condition…i have battled doctors to try and the problem as i feel it is symptomatic. I have always considered parasites. I am off all medicines for anxiety i refuse to be anymore. I have done the smoothie and symtoms of conditions have improved. I have a question…since parasites are always going to be an ongoing situation can i include the smoothie regularly..not everyday but be used when i feel like having it…and can i do liver cleanse simutatiously or intermittently.
Hi Timmy,
You could have the papaya seed smoothie for a week and then have a week or two off and repeat the process for two months to be really thorough. The liver cleanse would be better on the week off from the smoothie.
Hope this helps.
