Thread worms 🪱
In kids & in adults
~ What are they?
~ How do you test for them?
~ How can we treat them?
And No, over the counter (OTC) natural ‘parasite cleanses’ are not the answer!! These herbs are STRONG antimicrobials, causing damage to the gut, disrupting the gut microbiome and compromising the gut lining in both adults & kids, so guys, we DO NOT want to put our kids on parasite cleanses ok!!
Also, ‘ongoing use’ of OTC worming chocci & tabs (combantrum) isn’t the answer either ~ it is ok to take in the short term, but if symptoms persist and you find yourself needing more, then we MUST investigate the ‘driving factors’ for the reoccurrence of thread worms & ‘work on the gut terrane’ (the gut environment) — this is where the answers lie. Make sure that you are working with a qualified practitioner to support you and your family.
Take a listen to what I have to say, and book a consult if you need more support.
