Hey Agy! As I've been trying to read up more about the topic I've also come across some source claiming the whole thing is a scam - saying most people in developed countries won't have parasites and that photos of worms after cleanses is really your intestinal wall shedding.

Also, that even if you had a parasite, that those herbs couldn't actually kill parasites as the stomach breaks them down before they can even reach the intestines & that you also cannot starve them as they don't need much energy.

I'm not saying they are right but I always try to listen to all perspectives on a topic and the more I research the more confusing it seems to get.

Would love to hear your perspective on these sort of arguments xx

Hi Kira! These are wonderful points and I’m so glad you brought them up! Would it be okay to take these and form a post/podcast episode to answer them in depth? There is so much to unpack here. Let me know!

Hey there! I tried sending you a message directly and over email and there's an error message saying it can't be delivered with both. Any idea why? Maybe you could message me directly and I can send it again 😊

Hey there! New here - so maybe I just haven't found where to look for the formulations, but would love to know in what order and dose you would approach e.g. the Western approach you recommend? Like how would I practically go about facilitating a clease? :)

Hi Kira, and welcome to The Buffalo Herbalist Community—so glad you’re here!

That’s such a thoughtful question. While I can’t give specific dosing or plant recommendations without knowing more about your individual constitution and needs (it just wouldn’t be responsible or safe for me to do so), I’d be more than happy to support you through a one-on-one consultation if that’s something you’re interested in. Just send me a message anytime, I'll give you more information!

In the meantime, since you're already a member, I recommend heading over to the Mastering Formulation article. If you scroll down, you'll find an exclusive guide and a practical blueprint to help you start crafting your own formulas. It’s a great tool for learning how to think through herbal formulation based on energetics, actions, and safety considerations.

If you're drawn to the Western approach to parasite cleansing, start by researching the individual herbs listed (many to choose from!) and their affinities, contraindications, and ideal durations of use. And of course, my messages are always open—I'm happy to help answer questions or offer guidance as you go.

For how long would you recommend taking each herb/ A blend, and should I be fasting while doing it?

When reading the area about your approach, how would you facilitate the steps? Like take the first step (walnut,clove..) then the second? (Yarrow, plantain) or chose specific herbs out each category to make a good blend?
