* ❓ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannose D-mannose]. This naturally occurring simple sugar is the ingredient in cranberries that makes their juice effective against urinary tract infections. Pure D-mannose is 10-50 times stronger than cranberry juice, making it more suitable for stubborn cases of UTI, and it reportedly resolves more than 90% of all UTIs within 1-2 days.

* ⚡ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_enzymes Digestive enzymes], such as papain and bromelain, are said to make the intestinal tract inhospitable to parasites by dissolving their outer layers. In particular, papain - the milky juice of the unripe papaya - is claimed to be a powerful agent for destroying roundworms. One subject has reported a return of symptoms after taking a product containing papain, bromelain, protease, lipase and amylase for several weeks, and another individual has reported losing their entire hookworm colony after taking ''Healthy Origins Broad Spectrum Digestive Enzymes'' [https://healthyoriginseurope.com/products/digestive-enzymes-nec-broad-spectrum?variant=31997110714427] (amylase, protease, peptidase, alpha-galactosidase, glucoamylase, acid maltase, cellulase, pectinase, protease, lipase, lactase, beta-glucanase, invertase and hemicellulase).<br> However, several other hookworm hosts have taken digestive enzymes, including ''Terranova's Quercetin Nettle Complex'' which contains bromelain, without any obvious effect on their worms, [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/888731831182773/?comment_id=888738757848747&offset=0&total_comments=1&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22:%22R%22%7D] and one of these has regularly taken pancreatin-based products from different manufacturers, mostly from ''Pure Encapsulations'', but also a lipase product by ''Integrative Therapeutics''. Another hookworm host who regularly takes digestive enzymes but has never noticed any adverse effect on his colony, generally avoids papain and bromelain, but regularly takes pancreatin, lipase, ''Acid Ease'', and occasionally ''Udo's Choice'' enzymes. Udo's Choice brand does contain some bromelain, but only a small amount.
