Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 I've never done a " total " parasite cleanse, but I've used products with wormwood in it sporatically and have never noticed anything particularly (is that due to product quality, or quantity ued???). I have read through (I believe Edgar Cayce writing - which I am far from an " authority " on) the English interpretation of one of the prophecies in Revelations talks of the bitterness of wormwood being the " poison " that taint the water and multitudes fall ill/die; BUT, even with that said, that is of massive " dosage " , not what's in tinctures. Not much help, but a direction, Steve -------------------------------------------------------------- I have some misgivings about doing Dr. Hulda's parasite regimen because two older friends of mine who know a little about herbs told me that Wormwood is dangerous. They have explained that it could cause emotional problems. Has anyone on the cleanse noticed any side effects? They even suggested that it may cause certain insanities. I'm just looking for advice.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 I have been taking wormwood regularly for a few months now with no emotional side effects. I am an emotional person by nature, and I know most of my triggers, but this isn't one of them. Last week I gave 10 capsules of wormwood (along with the other parasite herbs) to my son who has been diagnosed as bipolar. He didn't have any emotional reaction to it either. Dr. says that parasites are the cause of mental disorders. I hope that by following the parasite cleanse program (and some of her other advice) that he will continue to become more emotionaly stable.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Perhaps ask your friends if they have had personal experience with it, or if they are going by what their friends told them, who in turn relied on still others. ---------------------------- > I have some misgivings about doing Dr. Hulda's parasite regimen > because two older friends of mine who know a little about herbs told > me that Wormwood is dangerous.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Perhaps your friends could suggest a comparably effective vermifuge or anti-parasitic herb, if you are still interested in addressing the parasites but skeptical of using wormwood.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 When I was doing her program under her guidance, I had to back off on the wormword simply because it impacted my vitality negatively. Each person needs to be aware of his/her body and adjust accordingly. I backed down and told her why.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I've used Artemesinin and while I did have a bladder tumor recurrence one cannot say it might have been worse or Artemesinin did nothing? You need to go to the site of the University of Washington shown on that page and look for the guy doing the research. My problem is that I've gleaned from all of the good sites and books that you need to do all you can, as many protocols as you can because you/we need all the advantages we can get over this scourge. The trouble with claims for effectiveness is that few have any human trials but rather only have test tube evidence. Go to the Cancer Reports of Dr. Ralph Moss, formerly of Sloan Kettering at: http://cancerdecisions.com/list/optin.php?form_id=8 You will find valuable information from his free newsletter as well as reports on what appear to be scams or over-stated benefits. This is one knowledgeable fellow. Good luck with whatever you are doing. Joe Castronovo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Wormwood is a potent Herb! http://www.rootgrafix.com/herbalnexus/h_wormwd.htm Wormwood - Artemisia absinthium: Appearance:Wormwood grows into a woody shrub, with distinctive and attractive pale bluish green leaves, which smell somewhat medicinal when bruised. Growing Info:This plant is a hardy perennial, and prefers full sun. Vigorously cut it back a couple times a year to keep the resulting shrub from getting too woody or taking over. One plant can supply quite a lot of wormwood. The herb has a somewhat medicinal smell as it hangs to dry, which may be annoying if it is hanging in a high-traffic area of your home. Culinary Uses:Extract of wormwood containing absinthe is found in a few European alcoholic beverages (notably Strega), but due to health hazards from internal ingestion of absinthe, this use is fading fast. A turn of the century potent alcoholic drink called Absinthe was popular in Paris; frequent users were strongly prone to violent or self-destructive behavior well beyond that seen with plain alcohol. Today, very small amounts may be found in vermouth, as a flavoring which goes a long way. Internal or culinary use is strongly discouraged, especially long-term. Medicinal Uses in Folklore:Taken internally, wormwood is said to help aid gastrointestinal digestion, but there are less toxic remedies available. It may well be potent against parasitic intestinal worms, hence its name. On the short term, it may be soothing to the nervous system. It may promote menestruation, as well as help cool down fevers. It is also said to help the liver. Poultices to help heal bruising may be effective. Either place the wormwood in boiling water, allow the resulting liquid to cool, and use that, or wrap the wormwood in a cloth, run warm water over this, and apply to the injured area, over unbroken skin, for fifteen minutes. This appears to be most effective before the full bloom of bruising occurs. (As I have seen no data one way or the other as to whether the toxic component of wormwood can cross the skin barrier, frequent external applications are not recommended.) "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder" relates to early observations on the aforementioned beverage and its desired effect (which was not always its actual effect). Scanning the Scientific Literature:NOTE: This is one of the 'Problem Herbs'. The bitter taste of wormwood comes from absinthin and anabsinthin. Another constituent is thujone, an oil known to cause convulsions in rats in relatively low concentrations. One half ounce of wormwood oil caused convulsions and unconsciousness in a human foolish enough to tempt it. Long term use builds up toxic effects. Wormwood pollen is an extremely common allergen, often resulting in upper airway distress. People allergic to mugwort tend to be allergic to wormwood as well. Other Info:In ancient Greece, this herb was sacred to Artemis, while Culpeper declares this to be an herb of Mars. Wormwood is not to be confused with 'sweet wormwood' (Artemesia annua), found in many parts of the world, especially China. In the early 1970s Chinese scientists recognized this second herb's potential for treating malaria and isolated the active principle, artemesinin or qinghaosu. Never miss a thing. Make your homepage.
