cleansing and detoxification  
97  
Do use during and after cleanses.  
Do use drops of lobelia leaf tincture on the tongue to relax you be-  
fore and during the enema, and add a little to each enema bag.  
Afterward, thoroughly chew foods and juices to reestablish good  
digestion.  
Take some type of acidophilus to reestablish intestinal flora.  
Don’t get addicted to the washed-out sensation or feeling thinner.  
You do lose several pounds of weight for a few hours, but this is due  
only to reduced water levels in the bowel, which will soon rebalance.  
Intestinal Flora and Parasites  
Maintaining healthy intestinal flora is vitally important in colon function  
as it aids many essential processes. Sufficient amounts are needed of these  
beneficial bacteria, which require fibrous foods to multiply. Antibiotics  
kill them, and it takes between six and twelve weeks to reinstate them to  
normal levels. Take daily probiotics to help cope with the release of  
unfriendly flora and to rebuild friendly intestinal flora. Many companies  
sell probiotics either by mail order or in health-food stores. Also drink  
chamomile flower tea or tincture; eat plenty of garlic and oregano, as they  
have natural probiotic action and kill off various antibiotic-resistant  
strains of bacteria. Soil organisms are also now being sold to help  
repopulate the gut, and these will also kill parasites, which is a bonus as  
parasites very frequently hide in dirty bowels. There are many herbs to  
assist parasite removal. This is just one formulatwo parts wormwood  
leaf and one part black walnut hull, with cloves to remove the parasites’  
eggs (for adults, 3 capsules 3 times daily for 2 weeks). The use of cloves  
for parasitic eggs was originally researched by Hulda Clark.  
Parasitic diseases and general systemic parasitic invasion of the body  
are more prevalent than many people believe. They range from  
microscopic organisms to threadworms to the well-known tapeworm.  
One in six people is believed to be host to some kind of parasite or  
another, and far from being a problem of “other countries,” it is prevalent  
in the West. They can infest a weakened, sickly body, unable to fight their  
introduction, or conversely they can be introduced into a relatively  
healthy body and cause a slow or rapid decline, which shows baffling  
symptoms yet causes sometimes disastrous results.  
These parasites do not kill directly, but they can cause a range of  
uncomfortable and debilitating symptoms according to the type of  
parasite. Some lodge in and “coat” the inside of the small intestine,  
preventing the absorption of nutrients from food. Others directly attack  
components of the immune system and can lower resistance drastically
