I already do apple cider vinegar (ACV) and occasionally raw garlic daily, and contrary to what I’ve read, they have no effect on my worms, so I got some diatomaceous earth (DE) and saved it for the next time I felt the unmistakable rectal itching.
Predictably, itching started, so I opened up the DE container and started right in with a Tbsp. a day mixed with fresh-squeezed OJ + my 2 tsp. ACV, and a little ground cloves sprinkled in. I put that in the freezer while I shower; I need it to be as cold as possible to counteract the vile taste. Post-shower, I add a dash of club soda and a couple of ice cubes, mix vigorously (the ingredients separate quickly), and start gulping*.
That regimen began two weeks ago. The acute symptoms have disappeared, but every 2-3 days I do feel itching. Hard to tell if it’s “the one” or just my butt itching, but it’s always in the same place. It’s not the crazy-making itching; I scratch it with a cotton swap dipped in white petroleum jelly, and it stops. Sorry to get graphic, but we’re here to talk about parasites.
So…I can’t definitively say “DE and my troubles are over! ” like I’ve read in so many testimonials. I don’t mind taking it when I’m symptomatic, but I really don’t want to be taking it daily indefinitely.
*I’ve read not to use metal utensils with it, and I have been using metal. Anyone know if this renders it inert? Ditto for the putting it in the freezer?
Any comments on what I’ve written here are welcome.

I have purchased FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH for internal parasites (husband, myself, and two cats). And we also use it to "dust our carpets, beds, and even plants. It works by dehydrating the parasites, and works on most all types, including tapeworm. Besides killing parasites, it has good health benefits for humans & pets, and is safe for children. For adults: At bedtime take one heaping Teaspoon in 8oz warm water, then follow with another half glass water. For children and also for small pets dosage is 1/2 teaspoon in 8oz warm water followed by additional half glass of water. I would do this for 30-45 days. Tapeworms will often come out in pieces. Can sprinkle directly on pet's food and mix it up if they won't drink the water. The website I purchased from also sells a duster container which the DE can be poured into to easily dust beds (also kills bed bugs) and carpets. Dust lightly on carpets, as it can clog vacum if sprinkled too heavilyI would suggest a GOOD QUALITY intestinal/colon cleanse after 45 days, though not necessary. We purchased Dr Natura colon cleanse. A bit expensive, but very good.
As for the Diametrous Earth, we bought from Wolf Creek Ranch website. They also give detailed information on dosage and other uses. It has stopped my itching in areas of my body. Avoid getting it in eyes. Can also be lightly sprinkled on pets fur to kill fleas etc. I offer the two brand names as I know their quality, but there are other good ones out there, I am certain. DE MUST BE PURE FOOD GRADE.
