10 best herbs and foods for cleanse of parasites
Fresh garlic
Garlic is one of the most potent natural antibiotics, which destroys more than 60 types of fungus and 20 types of bacteria, as well as some of the most potent viruses.

Its active components, allicin, and ajoene destroy parasites, amoebas, including one-cell varieties, and pinworms and hookworms.
Yet, Allicin is not present in the natural state of garlic, as when the garlic is damaged or chopped, the enzyme alliinase acts on the chemical alliin, converting it into allicin. Therefore, use the garlic crushed or juiced for best effects.
