getting rid of worms effecting your kids with food.
A NATUROPATHIC APPROACH TO SLEEP DISORDERS PART TWO
WORMS - Excellent for your garden but not great for your child’s GUT!
Common symptoms of worms
WORMS can cause frequent night waking as they become more active at night and irritate the gut lining. In only a small percentage of cases will you ever actually see the worms within the faeces often you won’t see the worms
Your child will be a very restless sleeper, covers all over the place, calling out in the night and being unrefreshed from sleep
WORMS lay ova and cysts in the gastrointestinal tract which cause itchy bottom and itchy noses, so chronic nose pickers and night waking
Worms open the door to allow a whole bunch of other parasites such a dientomeoba fragilis and blastocystis hominis
For girls vulval itching can be a symptom or urinary tract infections
Frequent and lowered immunity
Not all these symptoms have to be present
Common misconceptions
That you will see the worms if your child has the worms
That they come from pets, humans are the only vector, so the can’t exist without a host, and that host is human not animal
You just need to worm them with combantrim (from chemist) once and they are gone.
HOW DO YOU PROPERLY TREAT WORMS
Ensure you use combantrim and a natural remedy, and worm twice in one week
Worm the whole family at the same time so you stop cross infecting
DIETARY SUPPORT FOR WORMS AND PARASITES
GARLIC! Garlic is natures antibiotic. In a raw or roasted form it can be awesome in keeping the gut free of bugs.
(please note garlic is not an adequate treatment for these gut bugs, but the use of it in the diet will help to prevent re-infection)

2 bunches of basil, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons of cold pressed oil
40g pine nuts

pinch of black pepper
pinch of sea salt
Combine the parsley, basil and garlic in the food processer
