Q: Does anyone know of an over the counter pinworm medication and where i can purchase it at?Anyone know tips to help not get pinworms, this is the 2 time our child has had them this year, what can we do to try and stop her from getting them?

What is a good herbal or other holistic remedy to get rid of intestinal parasites such as pinworm?

Q: My daughter has pinworm and I’m worried about plying her with toxic chemicals to get rid of them. Looking for a more natural solution.

A: I just wrote this for someone who asked the same question, so hopefully it will help you as well!If you drink hydrogen peroxide, you’ve got about an 80% chance of clearing out any intestinal parasites/worms in about 2 weeks. There are some more effective versions of treatment (95%) but they’re a bit more of a pain to do, and what I’m suggesting should do the trick.If you decide to take the H2O2 approach, do the following (I’ve had multiple successes on this with friends).Buy 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide online at some store.On day 1, drink a glass of water with 1 drop of H2O2 in it. Make sure you drink it as far away from meals as possible.On day 2, do the same thing.On day 3, raise it to 2 drops, and do the same thing.Keep on doing this. There isn’t an exact science to how long you should wait before raising the dosage, different people’s bodies respond differently so you might go up by 1 each day, or up by one every 3 days, it depends on what feels comfortable to the body.Most people end up feeling comfortable with 6-8 drops per day (10 is the upper limit, 4 is the lower limit for where you end up). Anything above 10 could potentially be dangerous, anything below 4 won’t do enough.H2O2 is a really effective substance for curing health problems, and is harmless, provided it’s used in the proper concentrations (so for example, never drink peroxide which is not heavily dilluted, and try not to touch 35% with your hands because it will burn your skin). The nice thing about H2O2 is that it’s really cheap but can be used for a lot of medical applications (one bottle which will last you for life should not cost more than 20 bucks).Also, if you do this, you may end up curing other health problems in your body, or flushing out buried toxins, so don’t get too worried if radical changes happen for a few days during the treatment (I can provide literature if you wish to know more about that).

A: I’m fairly certain you’re going to have to get some medicine. Otherwise you might spread them.They normally do not cause any serious medical problems.You’re not alone, there are 40 million cases in the US a year. Go to a doctor and have them examine you.Hope this helps.
