Parasites

I first noticed that I had parasites a month ago. I tried wormwood, cloves, walnut hall, DE, for over 30 days and not much elimination of them. I read on a few searches that the herb neem will expel them, prevents them from feeding you and stops the eggs from hatching, Finally ordered some and after taking it two day I could not believe what I was seeing coming from my body. I could feel them moving around throughout my body head to feet causing me to lose sleep. I have been running to the toilet most of the day and each time looks likes hundreds of the expelling from my inside. Close inspection I could see them moving around inthe toilet. I also took a laxative, triphala to get assist with the neem. It works and it works fast. Hopefully in two weeks or so I will be parasite free. Neem is a lifesaver for me. These things were crawling around in my ears. Face and brain. This is the first time, I feel them lessen up. Now I am in the die off stage. Try neem!!!!!!! I need something quick and this is doing it for me so far. Do a search on neem and see how good it works on all types of parasites.

WebMD is not a reliable source when it comes to alternative/holistic remedies. It just tries to scare people away from treating themselves using natural remedies. Without reading the material in the link, it comes to mind that the neem oil stimulates the immune system and cause die off of parasites. Often symptoms arise or worsen during healing and detoxifying. Autoimmune is actually an impaired immune system.
Rely on your own research, there are helps and cures for everything.

Neem (also known as nimm in Punjabi) is most useful herb on this planet. I am from Punjab and we still have so many nimm trees in our farms. And I used to eat neem / nimm fruit also know as namolian every day during their season and I used to clean my teeth with the neem / nimm wood every day. Never had any teeth issues or parasites issues until I moved here in the US. Well, taking / consuming nimm (leaves, oil, juice, fruit etc.) in a small amount is recommended unless other wise you know what ghee (clarified butter) is and add 2-3 tbs of ghee in your every day diet (lunch, dinner etc.). Punjabi people add ghee in their daily diet every day and that could be the reason that why it never bothered me but, if you do not eat ghee and over use the nimm then it can effect your eyes and some other internal parts as well. Yeah, you can consume it in any form (eat fruit, eat leaves, oil, juice etc.) but do not over dose.

I am glad you found out about Neem, I live in Florida and there is a Neem Tree Farm here that sells the bark or leves in capsules. I personally took a capsuel of each three time a day for 2 months and it gave me a wonderful cleansing out, and then I quite smoking, I did pray to God a lot, but I am still free of cigarettes after 2 years, thank God, but the neem products are great for all cleansings

Neem Oil Side Effects
Posted by Corey (Topeka, Kansas) on 11/01/2017
I just wanted to let people know that I used neem oil -- about four bottles all together, maybe five -- for a skin problem, and it made the problem worse. Whatever it was that invaded my skin seemed to actually like the stuff, and the oil spread the problem to a larger area and made the invader go deeper, which I believe made the problem last a lot longer than it would have without neem. I used so much, I actually was starting to like the strange smell of neem. I have never found a description of a skin disease that matches my problem, in spite of more hours of searching than I can count. At least a hundred. So it's probably rare. The symptoms are a brownish freckle-like sheath on the surface of the skin, from which it seems like no harm is being done; but nothing, and I mean nothing, would make it go away. Then sulphur baths triggered what I guess people call "an aggravation" -- a partial breakout of bumps that contained what seemed like the seeds of whatever the sheath is/was.
That was the beginning of my discovering a cure. Before finding the cure, I tried -- for a couple years -- about 50 non-toxic possibilities, including neem, clove, tea tree, peppermint, coconut, and other oils, lactic acid (whey), acetic acid (vinegar), acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), sauna, infra-red sauna, no-sulphur mineral water soaks, various soaps, alkaline water, acidic water, alkaline body, alkaline blood, adequate sleep, giving up gluten (for other reasons not related to the skin problem), etc. etc. etc. I can't even remember everything else, there was so much. None of it made the problem worse, as I'm pretty sure neem did. But it didn't get rid of the problem either. I'm glad neem does help for whatever it helps for. I just wanted to let people know that there is at least one harmful skin growth that likes neem. What did finally work was homeopathy. I also have been taking systemic enzymes. Those are the two most helpful things I did. (Oh, I had given up all forms of sugar, including fruit, years before I was exposed to and contracted the skin problem, and gave up grains during the battle with the skin invader.)
After getting the mild outbreak from sulphur baths, I read about homeopathy helping people with other skin ailments, and the homeopathy I used induced a severe outbreak (and overlapping series of outbreaks) that went on for about ten months but is now I think/hope about 70 percent gone. Homeopathic teachers/healers say each person is different, so what works for one person might not work for another. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't hurt if you use the wrong remedy. Also, anyone who's reading this, it really is true that our illnesses are opportunities to have better health than ever before.
For one example, I had a lifelong health problem with my bladder (from age five or earlier) (not an infection, but the many many doctors I went to for help were useless and in some cases harmful) that I had accepted as a horrible but incurable part of my life; my search for a cure for my skin problem led me to homeopathy, which to my complete amazement 80 percent cured me of my lifelong horrible bladder problem before the skin problem was cured. Actually, the skin problem is slowly slowly slowly but very surely going away still. I didn't have hope for a long time, and now I'm certain it's so conquered that its disappearance is going to continue until it's completely gone. (By the way, for sulphur baths, you can use epsom salt from the drug store or go to a natural spring.)

You shouldn't take Neem oil internally. Neem oil should only be taken externally, either diluted in a bath or with a good carrier oil. You can buy Neem tablets at your local health food store. They are made from the leaf of the Neem tree, whereas the oil is made from the seed and can be toxic. It is always a good idea to fight from the inside out, so for parasites. Myself, I would take the Neem pills along side the use of Neem oil, in either a bath or with a carrier oil and applied to the skin. Neem oil will stop the external parasites from reproducing by messing up their hormones, while Neem pills will make the body a less desirable host for critters. For external parasites; in a clear bottle I will dilute 3% peroxide with water to bring it down to 1%, add just enough borax until it no longer disolves. I then pour the mixture all over the body and without rinsing, let it dry. I leave it on for 1 to 2 days, wash it off, apply coconut oil and repeat in 3 to 4 days. Avoid getting it in the eyes. I use this for all types of mange in dogs and it destroys them and is non-toxic to my dogs. Just throwing it out there(0=
I am not a doctor, these are just my opinions on Neem products, etc. I am not telling people to use them but merely speaking from my own experiences.

Neem, Botanical Name Azadirachta Indica
Neem is considered as the king of Herbs in India. There are many diseases that are treated with neem including arthritis, rheumatism diabetes, cancer, Chronic fatigue caused by candida albicans etc..
Some ways of using Neem

11. Boil 40 - 50 neem leaves in 250 ml of water 20 mins. Cool, strain and refrigerate to use as a astringent.
12. Chewing 2 - 3 neem leaves regularly helps purify the blood and in cases of hyperacidity and diabetes.
13. For Diabetes, recommend usage is to take one tablespoon of neem leaf juice daily on an empty stomach each morning for three months. An alternative is to chew or take in powder form ten (10) neem leaves daily in the morning.

I can attest 100% about neem oil and neem powder benefits for skin infections and allergies.
I was suffering from Tinea infection along with scarring alopecia for about 2 years. I used to get pimples/boils on my scalp and that used to cause a lot of hairloss. Also constant scalp itching and scaling was present all the time.
I went to all kinds of doctors... Modern medicines, ayurvedic, homepathic, but no doctor could cure my condition. Dermatologists told me I am suffering from scalp infection AND scarring alopecia. And only medicines they have are heavy antibiotics steroids.
I was scared like hell seeing bunches of my hair falling out (I already lost 40-50% of my original beautiful hair over past 2 yrs with doctors' experiments on me). Finally 3 months ago, I decided to put an end to this misery and stopped any doctor prescribed medicine (I have lost my faith in modern age doctors. They are more businessmen than doctors). I read that neem is the "tree of life", and it can cure so many skin disorders. So I decided to simply apply pure cold pressed neem seed oil diluted in castor and olive oil (1:1:1) and started taking 1/2 teaspoon of neem powder every morning on empty stomach with warm water (for purification of body).
Within 2 weeks of starting the neem oil regime my scalp itching stopped (for past 2 years not a single day went without me having to scratch my scalp). I felt more optimistic. The scalp pimples and consequent hairloss was still there, but I religiously continued this routine. Now after about 3 months after starting the neem powder regime, my scalp itching has gone COMPLETELY, scalp has cleared off the pimples (I don't get new pimples on the scalp anymore). Because of this the hairloss has also reduced considerably.
I am going to continue this regime and see if I can regrow my hair (which doctors swore that it won't as it was a scarring alopecia. But doctors are still human beings who have only understood about 1% of the nature's healing power and not understood the power of FAITH at all)!
Wanted to share this for someone who's suffering from similar ailment!

I was very pleased to read this worked! Neem is considered
a sacred tree in India. It sounds like the word, Name.
Triphala (lit. "three fruits") sounds like, Trip Fall-a. The "greatest" of these "three fruits" is Amaliki, which sounds like Am I Like He.
This is an excellent body and blood cleanser, and has the Indian saying, "So you have no mother? That's alright if you have Triphala. " So perhaps this is even safe for children??? It is very high in Vit. C. , and good for use as a purgative /laxative, whole body cleanser (especially the liver and organs), and is anti-inflammatory for the stomach and intestines. --T.

I use neem quite a bit and a fantastic way to disguise the smell is with spearmint essential oil. Not only does the spearmint oil disguise the smell, but it draws the blood to the skin and opens the pores letting more of the neemy goodness in. You can still use it on your skin, even your face with a little discomfort.

Neem is something that I learned about very recently, and because of the various ailments it helps with I decided to give it a try (it worked for clearing up my skin). While this herb works wonders for the "normal" person I would like to inform anyone who has an autoimmune disease that it could potentially cause major side-effects. The introductory post discussing neem says it can help with rheumatic disorders, and the post by Sayed from Abu Dhabi says it helps with rheumatism; rheumatic disorders and rheumatism refer to rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease. According to WebMD(
http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-577-NEEM.aspx?activeIngredientId=577&activeIngredientName=NEEM&source=2), there is a contraindication listed under the herb for autoimmune diseases mainly because neem can activate the immune system, which is exactly the opposite of what should be done with an autoimmune disease.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and had minimal pain and inflammation before taking neem, and I took it for about a month. Over that month the pain and inflammation increased pretty severely; my entire body - from my skin, joints and organs - experienced extreme inflammation, and I may also have some permanent joint damage now. Three months later I am still slowly nursing the pain and inflammation into remission (the natural way). This may be an isolated incident and I am not a doctor, but I would like to at least let people know the experience I had with it. I would, however, recommend it to people who don't have an autoimmune disease.

Just like to say I get boils now & again over 20 yrs of them, I knew bee stings were sore until splashing malt vinegar on them & within seconds the sting pain would be gone so I tried the malt vinegar on a boil one day & it stopped it in its tracks, I've never suffered a day with a boil since. Soon as I feel a boil I go put the neat vinegar on. It stings for 2/3 seconds & it works on shrinking the boil .

NEEM OIL is a rapid cure for ear mite infections. I used it with my cockapoo and it worked in a couple of days where three weeks of using other treatments failed (olive oil, mineral oil, olive oil with garlic, water/vinegar ALL FAILED). The effectiveness of Neem Oil was impressive and I recommend it highly.
Start by warming the Neem Oil by sitting the closed bottle in a bowl of hot water for about 10 minutes. This is important because Neem Oil becomes viscous or solid when cold and you must warm it up so that it flows easily into the ear.
Then, using a dropper, fill the ear canal with pure Neem Oil, then massage the ear canal for about a minute, then wipe off the excess with a cotton ball. Do this once a day at bedtime for a few days so the dog sleeps with the oil in its ear. Neem Oil seems to be absorbed into the tissues so do not use it for more than a few days.

I read neem works by inhibiting molting in insects, preventing them from making it to the next life cycle; egg can't turn to larvae, larvae can't turn to creepy crawly, and creepy crawly can't turn to winged egg layer. That's why it's important to treat for at least the length of time your problem insects life cycle takes if you want to get them all.

Combine neem tea with Papaya leaves. Grind it in blender and add a bit of water. This would destroy the virus hard shell with the papain. The neem tea would be a double attack. Use noni fruit juice and it would keep your body clean. It worked for me. No more outbreaks.Try for 7 days on an empty stomach. Fasting on water would be the ideal body environment. God is great!!!

Both neem tea and neem oil can be used internally, other posts are opinion based upon the fact that neem can trigger dieoff. It is powerful, but absorbant helpers like activated charcoal or bentonite clay drunk internally lessens that reaction strongly.
With any powerful natural cure, when you begin using it, more is less. Try googling the term 'titration'.
Dieoff/herx reactions can kill when they are just plain too strong, so for serious illnesses it's best to start with just 1/8-1/16 of a standard suggested dose.

Neem as a pant has cool, bitter and astringent properties. It has not a warming energy.
It is important to know about the dosha of the person partaking of this beneficial plant as certain chemical compositions in people need adjustments; for example the duration of usage and is therefore, while very effective, to be treated only on an individual basis.
It is important to do research as personal opinion can be misleading.

Neem Tincture cures scabies
An alcoholic extract of neem worked for me, after neem oil did not show any effect. Living here in West-Africa, most people are infected with multi-resistant scabies. Benzylbenzoate (an ingredient of cheap, "chemical" perfume, that burned intensely when rubbed into the skin) didn't work, also tea-tree-oil and neem-oil showed no effects; I didn't want to try the strong insecticide Permethrine, because I wanted to keep my room-mates, I. E. The spiders etc. ; vaseline with sulphur in the recommended application was quite nasty, because of having to sit naked with vaseline all over the body in a plastic chair several days, sweating in the tropical heat. But then Neem-Tincture has worked fine! In just three days, applied morning and evening, complete eradication of all symptoms, permanently. Since reinfection can hardly be avoided here, every few months I get opportunity to reassure myself of the reliable effectiveness of this simple method. Neem-Tincture - (alcoholic extract of neem-leaves)- recipe: dried neem leaf powder or fine leaf flakes mixed with double volume-amount alcohol (e. g. Normal 40% schnaps, tequila etc. ), let soak for two weeks in closed jar, then filter and press through cloth - voila.

Thank you Ram Pal from India with this cautionary tale about the (possible) over-usage of Neem products. Here again is a classic case of something taken in small, beneficial amounts doing good but taken in larger amounts causing some grief to the system. This message could be transferrable to some other products overly, enthusiastically embraced on this Site I have to say. Ram Pal grew up with the Neem tree as an integral component of his Culture and environment, so has an intimate knowledge of the properties of this wonderful tree that we cannot possibly match. Shall we just listen to what he has to say and take heed of his precautionary approach? This does not stop us from using the Neem but rather educates and makes us aware of possible untoward consequences if we are foolish enough to over-indulge. My medical guide extols the many virtues of the Neem Tree but nevertheless concludes with the advice that "Neem OIL should not be ingested. Use as directed" (Authors' words- not mine! ). Cheers and Happy New Year to you all!

I have found that the only thing that disguises the smell really well is citronella essential oil. I mix 2T coconut oil with 1/4t neem oil with 15 drops of citronella. Add more or less according to your preferences. With this I can stand having it on my face. I was really concerned because I bought a large amount of it and then couldn't use it due to the smell, but this works. It is even better than lavender, lemongrass or peppermint to disguise the smell. I still put it on over night though. I hope this helps.

Wow! That is amazing - especially with your mom. It's wonderful you were able to help her like that too during so difficult a time. Rest her soul.
My Persian cat Sunshine got a horrible skin condition. I think it was mange. It was complete scabs all down his backend. I made a shampoo with lots of neem and then to liet it sit on him put the "donut collar" on him so he couldn't lick. Many things can be toxic to cats. I think I had read to leave it on 15 minutes but for good measure left it on a few hours before rinsing him thoroughly. The next day his hair was growing back 50% from bald! The rest of the growth was rapid. The condition never returned or a symptom after rinsing. AMAZING stuff.
Neem Oil has been tested scientifically against the top chemical spot flea treatments. It is applied to the back of the neck the same way only more. For thick fur animals you nip a tiny area of fur out to have skin showing. It tests more effective than the toxic treatments on all four stages of fleas.
It even lasts longer 6- 8 weeks but I apply every 4 or 5. It works! It can also save a lot of money especially if one has a lot of pets. It stinks only for about 15 minutes and then the smell dissipates. I've told many friends about it and they are amazed. It saves some people over $100 a month. Amazon has a 16 oz container for $8. This is my second bottle. It lasts a LONG time. You can give it as gifts to animal lovers. Their animals are spared the chemical toxicity and they are spared the bills.

My pet recipe: Neem Seed Oil (100% pure only). I use it on everything, when our pets have itching, they scratch constantly and inflict wounds on themselves. If they have tics in their ears, they might inflict a wound somewhere by constantly scratching on the outside.
Neem Seed Oil is against parasites, mites and tics and fleas. It is also anti-bacterial. I used it on little turtles, chickens and cats. These are our only animals. I am so confident with this. I have solved problems, the vet said, were psychological. In one case, it truly was. Our cat was not stopping to scratch herself and inflicted wounds on herself because we had been away for some time and she was traumatized. I solved this problem by using Neem Seed Oil on her wounds first and then I put a little dog-shirt on her (like a T-shirt for tiny doggies you can buy). She was so estranged about the funny thing on her body that she forgot about her licking and couldn't anyway. After a few days, she got it off herself and had all forgotten her obsessive licking. When I use Neem Seed Oil, I put it on my hands, and oil the animals generously on all the spots necessary. They hate it - but usually one or two treatments are enough.

I discovered an awesome natural remedy for any yeast infections and fungus - neem tree see oil. It even works on plants, not just my boyfriend's toe nail fungus. However, the seed oil smells worse than garlic but it is so very strong and powerful. Mixing it with an essential oil can help with that smell. Other neem tree extracts can cure viral infections as well and can be taken orally. I have used the seed oil on my cold sore (mixed with carmex because of the smell) and it stopped the herpes outbreak immediately.

I don't know how many live where they are affected by dengue. But I have had it three times. The first time wasn't that bad, the second time even though my platelets didn't drop to a critical level, my white cell did drop and wouldn't come back very fast, the doctors there prescribed an anti-viral and it it helped but recovery was slow. The third time I had read about neem doing research for incecticide I ran across something sayin it was effective against dengue. So I thought I would try it my platelets were dropping close to critical, I didn't know how to use it so I just had some leaves heated them in water, and let it steep. I sipped all thorough out the day, it tastes very bitter, anyway it seems to work better than flu remedies they give you for discomfort. The next day the blood test showed my platelets going back up, and white cells also. The following day after that the platelets made a huge jump of 60,000 in one day and the white cells also went up significantly. I don't know for sure if the neem worked, or if it was just coincidence. My recovery period total was 4 days, the previous time it was 12 days. Supposedely every time you get dengue it is worse than the one before. Since there is only three types of dengue so far in Nicaragua I shouldn't get it again. But I thought this remedy would be of interest to anyone in areas where it happens.

You have some serious boil problems. It is odd that your whole family gets boils? Have you thought of investigating the cause? Also Tylenol is poison. One dose can damage the stomach lining. And, as for fevers, holistic science says do NOT intervene in any fever under 104 degrees. The body is turning up the heat to destroy whatever pathogen is attacking it. By using Tylenol you are making a big mistake. Let the body do its work.

A tsp. Turmeric powder taken with a glass of water a few times per day is effective against boils normally caused by staph infections, even MRSA,
Boils are painful but can be resolved naturally. Diet needs to be cleaned up, only food that looks like food (nothing processed), more fluids, fresh fruits, vegetables, less or no fried foods, enemas if constipated may be helpful, probiotics helpful.

You can start with Quarter Teaspoon in the night time for 3 days. If you can tolerate increase to half teaspoon. It will flush all the crap out of your bowel. It will induce loose bowel movements. We used to give to Calf to kill their parasites in those days.
P.S. I think repeat for min 3 weeks in the same manner.

I'm desperate to find something that will get rid of whatever is in me. In following these threads I notice that one time we are on Neem Oil, then I see by the teaspoon. It would be wonderful if what you are referring to is really identified as to kind (ie. oil, powder, tincture, paste, leaves, brand name) Neem is something you have to be very careful when using. Aren't these blogs wonderful? what did we do without them?
