I also have some great news on a natural way you can rid your body of these pesky critters before resorting to drugs. Pinworms, also known as threadworms are the a parasitic worm and the most common worm infection in Australia, the UK and the USA.
An annoying truth of the childhood worms experience is that once a child is infected, other members of their household are also likely to get pinworms unless strict hygiene practices are observed. Threadworms are spread by children scratching their bottom and carrying the worm eggs back to their mouth with their hands. They can also be spread indirectly through food and dust. The eggs can survive up to two weeks outside the body, and once these eggs are swallowed, they hatch in the small intestine and travel down.
Despite the ugly reputation, a pinworm infection is relatively harmless and can be easily treated. When you notice an infection of worms, you can help reduce the spread to family members through. Diatomaceous Earth is a brilliant first step alternative to over the counter drugs and is something that I personally consume regularly to rid my body of parasites, especially during travel overseas or if I suspect an infection.
And a clean digestive system is the starting point for overall body and mind health. Diatomaceous earth is one of the best natural, food based anti-parasitic medications. It works by attracting bacteria, fungi, viruses, pesticides, drug residues etc to absorb them.
The hollow cylinder structure allows pathogenic bacteria to become trapped and passed through the body. Larger parasites found in the stomach are actually cut up and killed by the Diatomaceous Earth particles! My naturopathic grade, Diatomaceous Earth , also known as organic fossil shell flour or as I like to call it Dinosaur powder, also contains 15 minerals that are beneficial to your overall health and wellbeing.
