* | * ❌ [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomaceous_earth Diatomaceous earth]. This is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms which are mined from ancient sea beds and ground into a fine powder to produce food grade or medical grade diatomite. The finer grade diatomites are used as an insecticide and are also employed to deworm pets and humans. They are believed to work by dehydrating the organism, although the sharp edges of the particles may also be damaging to tiny creatures. A daily dose of one heaped teaspoon of diatomaceous earth has been claimed to be effective for human worm control, and one hookworm host has reported that three doses, of approximately one teaspoon each, quickly wiped out her colony and caused the return of all the symptoms of her disease. | ||
* ❓ [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay Clay] (e.g., bentonite, kaolin) is claimed by some sources to be a natural parasite preventive that inhibits the reproduction of organisms, and one helminth provider at one time advised against its use while hosting worms. However, it is now thought much less likely to harm the human hookworm and whipworm than it is tapeworms, and it may in fact not have any adverse effect at all on human hookworms and whipworms. | * ❓ [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay Clay] (e.g., bentonite, kaolin) is claimed by some sources to be a natural parasite preventive that inhibits the reproduction of organisms, and one helminth provider at one time advised against its use while hosting worms.
