This product is all natural, I mean, 100% natural! The taste is tolerable. I actually like it. Reading other reviews, some are saying the smell is strong and it has a strong garlic taste. To me, it has a "woodsy" smell and I can't really describe the taste, except that I like it. I wouldn't use it in water or coffee (trust me, I like my coffee to taste like coffee)! I use it in anything orange flavored, like kool-aid or HI-C, and it's not bad in tea. I was hoping for some kind of change or reaction after the first day or two. But, it took a little over a week, 8 days actually, before I noticed anything new. It's probably different for each person, and you can experiment with it. You can take less at first and gradually move towards the full dosage. I'm breathing better, have more energy, and I'm going to the bathroom more, therefore, I've lost a few pounds, which is great for me! No, I haven't noticed that I have worms or any kind of parasite, but this product does more than just eliminate worms. It detoxifies you, especially your intestinal and digestive system. I see it as more of a probiotic. Your gut health is extremely important. Probiotics help balance out the good and the bad bacteria.
I definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs help with the problems I mentioned. Not being able to use the bathroom for long periods of time, can become toxic and cause you to feel sluggish, among other things.
The bottle is 4 ounces which is a lot. It should last you about a month and a half to two months , if taken 3 times daily like suggested. It's NOT child proof so, please have it out of reach from the curious little ones 😇. Once I opened it, I saw that there were herbs stuck up in the dropper so, I shake the bottle everytime I'm about to use it.
I will continue to take the supplement until it's empty. I want to give myself more time with it, in hopes it'll continue to improve my health. If so, I'll be ordering more! I'm not quite sure this is something you'd take over long periods of time or just when you need a cleansing.
Overall, I'm a satisfied customer and I'm thankful for the opportunity to test out the product!
2/3/21 I am taking this in a a capsule to avoid having to taste how bitter this is. I am going the intense route and taking 30 drops 4x a day. I am dealing with a parasitic infestation due to eating undercooked fish in sushi and other foods and not addressing it sooner. I had liver flukes block my liver and gallbladder but was able to get many of those out through flushing my liver through Andreas Moritz liver flushing protocol. Because the flukes blocked my liver, they unfortunately created a habitable environment for other parasites to live in my digestive system. Somehow, the worms moved to other parts of my body. This happened I believe because I tried taking small doses of pure gum spirits. Because my liver is congested and that is causing my digestive system is not functioning properly, the worms couldn't properly leave and just traveled to different parts of my body. Anyway, I sometimes see multiple worms under my skin on my arms, torso, and legs. I see them specifically when I eat things that they do not like. I also can feel them moving in my digestive system. I took this the first day and saw parasites under my skin trying to get away from this stuff. Digestive wise, I don't hardly any parasites moving. Today, I ate meals with carbs (brown rice, potatoes, tortillas-planted based and not highly processed) today and usually I can feel the parasites moving when I eat carbs. I really haven't felt anything since I started taking this. The fact that I'm not feeling them tells me it's working and that this is some powerful stuff. Excited to see what 30 days of this will do.
I appreciated the mild effect it had on my body. I'm not a fan of chemicals and my body reacts poorly to them, so the natural aspect of ParaGuard was very important to me.
The results were great. My trips to the bathroom became normal again and the heaviness I was feeling in my intestines disappeared. I felt lighter overall.
In conclusion, I highly recommend ParaGuard to anyone looking for a natural solution for digestive issues. It worked wonders for me and I'm confident it will do the same for others.
Like any natural cleanse, everyone's body will respond differently, but I tend to be really sensitive to everything and this was a minimally disruptive experience. There was a little bit of stomach upset here and there, but nothing worse than what I normally experience on a regular basis. I didn't have a flushing experience, and I also didn't experience constipation, but I did have to pee a lot from drinking so much water! My bowels have been more regular, and my gut overall feels less inflamed like my digestion has improved and my colon is more lubricated. I got my appetite back, my eczema has really started to clear up for the first time since my flare ups began in March 2020, and I feel mentally clearer overall. As far as seeing actual parasites… I'm not totally certain because I didn't sift through my poops lol, but there were potentially two that I saw. One floating in the bowl that looked like a clear thread, and one that looked like a grain of rice. Otherwise, nothing too exciting besides well-formed movements (finally!).
Anyway, if you're curious about a cleanse, I'd def give this one a try! I took it with a splash of water like a shot because the aftertaste was mostly minty to me. 10 days on, 7 days off, and then an additional 5 days, no alcohol, no coffee, no breads, and i cut back on refined sugar but increased my intake of honey, ginger, turmeric, soups/broth, and fruits/veggies. Will take it again in a few months for maintenance!
P.S. the taste was easy for me. Took the drops straight, no chase.
Paraguard has definitely helped with joint aches and pains, weight loss and overall cleansing of my insides! I've seen the parasites being extracted from my system on a daily basis and had no idea to the extent that I have been infected.
I started my cleanse last November 2021. For the first four weeks, I took Paraguard as directed, four (4) times a day. In between doses one and two, I took a charcoal supplement to help absorb any toxins. I stopped taking Paraguard in the middle of January 2022 when I caught the flu. It was a few weeks later that I felt the pain and discomfort come back into my joints, particularly my knees. My knees felt as if they had a rubber innertube around them. I started taking Paraguard again and noticed that not only did the swelling go down, the pain and discomfort decreased, too. It is obvious to me when I'm not taking it on a regular basis.
I am also noticing the removal of the parasites, particularly thin worms, and that has not stopped, either! (It's disgusting and amazing at the same time). I'm just grateful to have Paraguard to help cleanse me and help me begin to heal internally. Thank you Zahlers for creating and offering a wonderful, helpful product. Be Blessed.
It took me about 4 days with water fasting to see them in my stool. It doesn’t give me cramps or stomach pains, and it doesn’t taste bad at all. It tastes like a tea without sweetener. If you want a little help drinking it, put a tiny drop on your finger and lick it. You’ll feel the peppermint cool & then drink the cup.
I promise you if you eat right, drink plenty of water, exercise or yoga, and drink this stuff - you’ll see those critters come out in no time!
Much love
However, we both noticed a SIGNIFICANT improvement in our bloating, cravings, and general appetite. We felt hungry/like we wanted to eat a lot less often and didn’t feel so terrible after we did eat. We did the mild,10 day course but plan to try the extensive one in a few months.
I have been in and out of doctors for over a decade trying to figure out what was wrong. A parasite cleanse was my last hope after I saw something on Instagram. I did my first one about a year and a half ago and I do them about every 6 months now.
This is my first cleanse using paragard. A lot of people are saying it tastes disgusting but compared to some of the other cleanses i have done this one isn't too bad. The taste is actually pretty mild.
This is definitely the easiest cleanse I have tried. If this is your first time, start with the lower dose and make sure your body is able to release the toxins from the parasites. As they die they can release toxins which can cause symptoms.
Parasite cleanses completely changed my quality of life and regardless of what any "expert" says my first hand experience with them has been incredible.
Not everyone needs them and there is a time and place for them. But if you have severe stomach issues I 100% suggest this product.
I have no idea, that's not why I chose this product.
What I DO know: Does this cleanse, or flush, the intestinal tract?
It certainly seems so.
I had completed a 14 day water fast and in that time had parasitic die off, specifically, worms. It was in my best interest to do what I could to remove the dead parasites bodies from me to the best of my ability. This is why I purchased the Paraguard product.
After 3 days of refeeding after finishing my fast I began taking this product and it is doing what it was designed to do. Cleanse. On the very first day of taking Paraguard it began working to flush my system.
I am surprised by how many parasites I was carrying but happy to see them being expelled so effectively.
I will take it for the 10 days at 30 drops, 3x a day.
Very happy with the product results and how quickly it works.
Like so many others have said the taste is bearable - preferably a quick shot in water followed by some kind of chaser, lol.
For those wonder what it taste like, I mix it with a shot glass of water. It’s almost the taste of Swedish bitters if you have ever taken that, or like a shot of Jameson lol. I mix it with a shot of water and then chase it with a glass of water. It almost has an intense clove mixed with black licorice (the fennel) and minty flavor, but like intense😅 it’s not subtle at all, so definitely wash it down with something!
The first day it made my stomach growl and felt like “something” was going on down there. I never got “die off symptoms”, but I took a binder to not get those symptoms. I took 100% organic chlorella tablets along with this. And that’s all I’ve taken! I am not on any medication nor do I take vitamins (I know I know, I need to start) or anything else, so that’s how I know it’s this or the chlorella pills that cured me!
Honestly, just buy it and start it up if you have any stomach problems. You will thank me!
Thank you.
Day 1 and 2 I took 2 pills and took zeolite 2 hours later each time (binder). Nothing happened except some farts.
The morning of day 3 I had a bowel movement but it didn't look special.
Day 3 I took 3 pills since the first two days went fine, and took zeolite 2-3 times.
Day 4 I took a pill and went out shopping. While shopping I had to emergency race to the bathroom. My bowel moved so badly that the toilet got clogged. Sorry to the people who work there. Yikes! But I still haven't noticed any worms.
Day 5 was uneventful
Day 6 it felt like a worm was crawling around in my ear suddenly during a zoom video call lol
Day 7 I finally had another bowel movement, but I didn't notice anything unusual with it. Also noticed a lot of weird crawling feelings in my nose.
Day 8 I noticed a weird feeling down there like I had a bug OUTSIDE of my body...like it decided to run out all by itself. I went body and then found some kind of creature that was a squishy lump that was moving. I am having a hard time with regular bowel movements so I took magnesium. Also noticing lots of specks and various things in the toilet.
Day 9 had a bowel movement in the morning. Didn't look special.
Day 10 had two bowel movements. Nothing special again. Looking at the toilet like a paranoid person but not finding much anymore. At night I noticed nothing wiggling in my ears!!!!
Day 11...I did a day 11 because I missed 3 pills in the process. Want to make sure I'm done done. I did actually pass a thick string that was a few inches long and a few specks. I guess those specks are tiny parasites.
I didn't lose weight but overall I'm glad I did it and I plan to do it again. Ain't no way that stuff deserves to stay in my body.
And believe I got parasites during those travels and from living in Mexico. This is a must for anyone who travels but also anyone experiencing bloating, constipation, IBS, and inability to loose weight! Will always have a bottle of this on hand - especially for my sinus infections!
This stuff was total hell for me to swallow and keep down. I am, however, very easily bothered by foul odor etc. I am using it no less and hoping it helps. I have mixed it and taken it straight (this was obviously much worse). I hope that the offense my system takes to it is bc it’s working. I cannot handle poop investigations and have not. Muster up lots of strength and go for it. “Better out than in” as they say!
Update: I cleaned up my diet a LOT and added in a bunch of fruits and veggies. With the added fiber, it makes this product work that much better. My skin looks amazing and I haven’t had any candida related issues for the last few months. Still taking 3 a day because I noticed it makes me feel “normal.” Hope that helps!
Doctors are to stuck in the thought that here in the great USA we can’t get worms, well I would love to post the picture I sent them but it would make you cringe, plus this is one embarrassing declaration! Butttt it is what it is and now it isn’t!
(I would put the 30 drops in a shot glass and fill the rest with water and took it like a shot!)
However, I was using more for digestive purposes because I was having stomach issues and constantly feeling bloated and after 3-4 days of use I had 0 issues!
The surprising thing came when I stopped using it after those 3 weeks, and two days later guess what showed up in the 🚽?!
A FRICKIN 🪱
Definitely buy even if it’s just digestive issues!!
The worst part is the taste and I ordered size 00 capsules off Florenmolamarts, I put my 30 drops in it, close the capsule and I never once even get a hint of taste from it! If your having gut issues, this is your fix, but I highly recommend ordering the pill capsules to go with it. I hope this helps! :)
Long post, bare with me!
Doing a parasite cleanse was something that I’ve looked into in the past, and somehow managed to get distracted from not doing one (and partly fear of what I might see).
So, I did some research and got this product on a whim after having extreme flatulence at night when laying down for bed for months that was really bad. The only other symptoms that I had was bloating really bad after meals and anxiety as well.
I kept a daily log of things that went on with me while doing this parasite cleanse. I’m 43 years old and have never done a parasite cleanse, ever. I chose the intense route: 1 pill 4 times a day for 30 days.
On the First day, I was peeing teeny LIVE worms. That’s when I knew I had to mentally prepare for what I was embarking on.
I had a nagging shoulder pain in the joint for about 5 months prior to taking this cleanse
At night, and day 2 it was GONE! This sent me down a rabbit hole as to why the pain “magically” disappeared on the Paraguard Cleanse. I will spare the details
Because it is pretty GROSS.
A thing to note is I became constipated so by day 4, so I purchased some fiber (Metamucil) that I took 3 times a day with water for the duration of the cleanse. In addition, I purchased some activated charcoal for “die off symptoms” that I took as needed for headaches. Poop regimens was gentle and normal (no diarrhea etc).
I was passing worms in my stool well into the day 20’s, so some of them were putting up a fight! Which made me think that I may have needed to do this cleanse a little longer. I decided to take a week off at the 30 day mark and will possibly start again for another 10 days.
Product is WELL WORTH IT! It served its purpose, it WORKS, and I will be doing the Paraguard cleanse every 6 months. I feel so much better!! Anxiety, Bloat, and flatulence is gone! The shoulder pain hasn’t returned as well!
I’ve also purchased the “liquid” formula for this product, so I will use that next!
Parasite cleanses are something i've known about and wanted to do for many years just never bit the bullet or did enough research. My coworker mentioned finding this product on TikTok and I knew I needed to give it a try.
I took this product as described. 1 tablet 4x daily. After the first few days I noticed improvement in my gut health and overall wellbeing. After about a week of taking this product I started getting extreme fatigue and brain fog. I assumed this was the die-off symptoms everyone was talking about. I cut back on the product to 3x daily and took active charcoal. I was out cold one day to the point I left work, took a nap, and rested the rest of the day. This was around day 10.
A few days pass after stopping this product, I was actually passing visible parasites. (I am talking a good hundred round/pinworms if you need a visual) This continued for a good 3 days and my mood/health has improved.
I am now started the regime back up w/ 3x daily as I write this review. I will continue to intake water more consistently and active charcoal. Hoping to flush the rest out and see further improvements.
Let me tell you, after 6 days of this stuff my stomach is so much flatter, I have ZERO boat - zero (!!!), I have barely any sugar cravings or urges to snack, and I haven't had any digestive issues in 2-3 days. I cannot tell you the last time my stomach felt normal and able to regulate itself. This is seriously blowing my mind, it feels way too good to be true and I feel like I keep waiting for my stomach to start hurting and feel bloated again. I even ate pizza last night which would have wrecked me normally, and I woke up feeling TOTALLY fine. Insanity.
The first 2 days I experienced the "die off" symptoms - nausea, headache, bad fatigue, body aches, etc. Then on day 3 I started seeing them flushed out and parasites in my stool... :p it's not as scary as I thought it would be though, not like some of the pictures I've seen here!!!
I'm doing 30 drops, 4x a day at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, and 6pm, then taking activated charcoal mixed with psyllium husk at around 8 or 9pm before I go to bed. I'm also trying to sweat everyday, am sitting in the sauna for 10 mins at the end of my workout at the gym, am getting a lymphatic drainage massage, and eating liver loving foods to help support the detox.
I found this product on TikTok and like everyone else was a skeptic, but am now totally sold on it and will be doing this 1-2x per year. Just try it - you have nothing to lose!!!
This whole experience has been incredibly upsetting, stressful and revealing, yet I consider it to be a positive one as I learned a lot. In short, I probably have “something”, I bet most people do, and I don’t want these in my body. Anywhere. I am going to do this again after I rest my body for two months or so. I emailed to ask if I could start over right away and no one replied. I plan to complete the full 30 days next time and see what happens. For anyone making fun of this, the parasite “thing” is very real. If you don’t believe it or don’t care, that’s your decision. I will conclude by saying nothing is one size fits all. Do your own research, there is plenty of information out there.
Update: 10.25.22
I have been urinating frequently!
Still bloat free and I feel great! I will be increasing my intake to twice a day😊
I have always had a crazy fast metabolism, and have nearly always been almost underweight. I've never done any sort of cleanse. It should be said, that you can have benign parasites, and the cleanse won't make a huge difference. I had to remind myself I don't need a personal microscope to do a smear while I do the cleanse, as I actually do know what to look for. The benign parasites do just live off of dead skin cells, and stuff that we don't even need, but you could also have a parasite that you don't want. Seriously, realizing I should do a cleanse, I ordered this right away.
Taste wise, it tastes like a strong herbal tea. It's easier to drink thank mugwort tea. I use the dropper in a shot glass to get my 30 drops, add a splash of water, and drink it. I add an extra 'shot' of water, mostly to rinse the taste. It's not horrible, but a gulp of water can get rid of it.
The first day or so, I didn't feel too out of it or anything. I have a whoop wristband to track my health, and so far for the first week, my temperature has been up by one degree. My normal temp is actually around 96.8-97, and having an actual temp of 99, means yeah, I don't really feel 100%, but it's not horrible. It's been only a week so far, I haven't had watery stools or anything, I've just made sure not to trust myself to only have gas. I haven't looked at the toilet even, I won't let myself. I've always been careful about what I eat, I do t even eat pork because it has a higher chance of having larva, unless you make sure it gets cooked to the right temperature. When I do, I'm paranoid about making sure. It's likely though that I picked something up when I was a kid, as I didn't have the best access to good food growing up.
So, I've been hungrier, even more than before, and considering how I tend to forget to eat, I've definitely noticed. I've actually gained 2 pounds in the span of a week. I've been able to eat whatever and never have to worry about my weight, but my own lab results do tend to be a bit low on stuff. So, I would say give it a try. I'm going to use it for the full month and keep an eye on my temp. Further data from my whoop, until day 7, I wasn't really getting good recovery. Make sure to stay hydrated and replace any electrolytes, and you should be alright. I keep forgetting to drink extra water, as I tend to drink a ton on my own, but I've definitely needed a bit more. The capsules might be better for those who work, I don't have to worry about being home to take it. I also already take meds 3x a day, so I just take it with them.
I have started a food/detox pill journal where I’m tracking the journey. The first day nothing happened, but by day 2 I saw some movement. I have continued to take my daily probiotic as well to add good bacteria as I’m taking out the bad stuff. I take my soft gels one at a time with sliced lemon and ground ginger in spring water and I drink more water during the day to aide the cleansing process.
I take 3 soft gels a day spread out between a couple of hours (morning, noon, and night). Eating pretty healthy during this 10 day cleanse and avoiding processed foods, alcohol, carbs, and sugar (outside of natural sugar found in fruit). Don’t want to feed any possible parasites.
I know results may vary, as a family member also tried it and they didn’t experience the same results. I’d recommend a try, because you never know what may work for your body. Good luck everyone on your health journeys!
Let me back up, though. I’ve been using this product since 2018, not consistently, but 1-2 times per year. The main reason I haven’t done the most intense dosage or length of time on this supplement is because I have always had tremendous diarrhea. It would be tolerable after the first few days, but too much anxiety traveling, walking to subways, being with clients, etc to do the several months back to back. With that said, this time, I told myself I would do 2-3 months, with the proper break in between rounds, mainly because I have a new rescue pup who came to me with all kinds of worms, and even prior, I wasn’t feeling my best.
To my surprise, I have had no diarrhea, but the constipation has been scary bad. I drink an insane amount of water, so at first, I didn’t even connect the dots to this cleanse. I mean, I have never had this reaction before. But once I realized the cause, I cut back the dose, and I actually found that was worse. I came back here to browse through reviews to see if anyone else had this reaction, and several people left poor reviews for the same exact issue. Had this been my first experience with this product, I definitely would have stopped it, but instead, I did a little digging into constipation caused by parasite cleanses. The constipation is actually caused by the die off of parasites, not because this product sucks or is disagreeing with me after all these years. And it makes sense that I might be dealing with worse or more parasites simply because of my rescue pup or living in a new city, etc. While I don’t suggest sticking out painful, scary constipation, I DO suggest either adjusting your dose (more or less) to see if you get better results and to add in miralax or zinc to give some extra support and movement to BMs.
Also want to mention, while others here have posted horror stories on what they’ve seen come out of them, I have never seen anything specific. I was so freaked out about that when I first used this product that I almost didn’t start it. I also don’t go digging around in my poop either, but I’m sure that might be helpful for some to know. What I can say is how much better I’ve felt after sticking out a full month in the past - elimination of sugar cravings and itchiness totally gone. I’m only about 2 weeks in this time, so too soon to update, but I wanted to add my two cents for those of you who come here upset or concerned about constipation too. It’s the only time I’ve had that SE in five years of use, but it makes sense now that I’ve done my research.
My only complaint about this product is for the dropper in the bottle. Specifically I think these two improvements will help a lot–
— Increase the amount of liquid that can be pulled up into the dropper. I found myself squeezing it twice to get the required amount of 30 drops.
— Instead of counting the drops that land on my tongue, and 30 is a lot, I'd prefer to see a marking on the dropper tube indicating the quantity that I need to pull for each dose. Sometimes the drop would land somewhere in your mouth where you won't feel it so you may end up taking more than the required amount. Pulling in the exact quantity in the dropper itself would be very helpful.
Everyone should do parasite cleanses yearly. Pretty wild that other countries are taught to deworm once a year & for some reason that’s not taught in the US.. You have to do your own research to be healthy in todays age
I combined the daily softgels with drinking a ton of water and eating mostly berries, nuts & vegetables the whole time because I knew it would help me detox quicker & easier with less die off side effects. (Friendly reminder to wash your produce) Be sure to take a probiotic, a biofilm buster & black cumin seed oil!
I’m on day 15 and only around day 10 did I actually see something out of the ordinary after I went to the bathroom. Not sure if that’s normal but I feel like I would’ve seen something sooner but nonetheless I do have less cravings and haven’t had a candida episode in a while.
There’s only 90 soft gels so that gives you 22 and a half days to do this cleanse but to do it effectively you should do 30 days. This was definitely the more pocket friendly choice but I think I’ll get the liquid next time!
This particular product is very affordable compared to others that I’ve taken in the past and is just as effective. Mild stomach pain and initial bloating is normal. Give it time everyone will respond different as far as how much time to give the ingredients to kick in but stay consistent it works, it’s worth it, and avoids illnesses and aging overall.
Lastly, if you come here and are convinced to purchase this product but you drink alcohol and eat junk food, expect a delay in the progress. This product is meant to paralyze parasites so that your system can easily flush them out but junk food and especially alcohol feeds parasites. Take a break from alcohol and junk food at least just while you’re cleansing, I promise it is worth the sacrifice. Stay healthy friends:)
-extremely itchy anus
- no menstrual cycle for 3 years (pcos)
-no ovulation for 3 years (pcos)
- extreme craving for processed food
-constipation
The main reason I ordered this was for the itchy booty hole situation. When I tell y’all it was at a point where I was scratching HARD with my nails and it was causing bleeding and everything! I’m like it has to be pinworms.
So the first day I took 3 capsules, 1 every 4 hours. By the second day the itching had completely stopped. I was SHOOK.
for the next four days I stayed on the regimen then I kinda got distracted and fell off. So for the next few days after that I was just taking a pill whenever I could remember to.
Well, about 3 weeks later I had sore nipples. Really sore. Well there are only two times I’ve had sore nipples: during ovulation and when I found out I was pregnant. I’m wondering, could I be ovulating again… after three years of nothing…? Then that night when I was “doing things” with my husband it was painful… another sign I was ovulating… I’m like WHOA.
Fast forward literally two weeks later and I got my period…. I started crying because I haven’t had a period in THREE YEARS due to PCOS and I’ve tried sooooo many things to become regular again. it’s important for me to get my hormones back on track in order to regain my fertility and beat pcos.
Anyways this stuff is absolutely amazing. I would honestly recommend it to anyone who is looking for healing in their gut and body!
and had heard good things about it on some of the health forums I browse.
Well, a few days into the cleanse, I was doing some yard work and I got bitten my a spider.
(This was just 8 days ago.)
The bite was really bad, maybe the worst insect bite I've ever had, and I've had a lot of insect bites, since living in SC. Not sure what kind of spider it was, because I didn't see it, I felt the bite but didn't see what it was. But we have black widows and brown recluse around here so I was a little worried.
My leg started swelling bad, and the wound was looking pretty bad, it was oozing, turned bright red and the whole area was getting tough and hot to the touch. I thought I would have to go to the emergency room, but it was a Sunday night, and didn't want to go to the ER. I'm the kind of person that never goes to a doctor unless absolutely necessary.
So I did an Epsom salt bath soak instead, and then put on ParaGuard on the wound at night before I went to bed. I bandaged it with a nice coating of ParaGuard on there, and when I woke up in the morning I couldn't believe the difference. The swelling and redness went down dramatically.
I thought for sure I would have to see a doctor, but I've since applied it everyday, and the wound is pretty much healed after only a week. This stuff is amazing. There must be some synergistic effect of these oils. I've always been into natural medicine, and this is one of the best ones I've found yet. I think it should be a staple in a first aid kit. I can't wait to try it out for more illnesses/medical emergencies.
According to WebMD, "Wormwood oil contains the chemical thujone, which excites the central nervous system. However, it can also cause seizures and other adverse effects." I'm wondering if that's what the answer is to treating depression like mine--exciting the nervous system. Maybe not to the point of seizures, but I know that ECT induces seizures and it is believed to be that the seizures causes differences in the brain, treating depression. Just something to think about.
First off, it is super easy to take, the flavor is waaay better than other cleanse I have tried & the ingredient quality is far superior to others I have seen in my research.
After about 2 weeks, I started noticing that my bowel movements were well formed for, literally, the first time in my life! And I began to experience familiar detox symptoms in my body(headache, sluggish, massive eczema flare, dry skin, etc)...which I have come to know is a sign that deep healing is happening in my body. At the end of 2 weeks, my detox began to ease so I decided to do a full 30 days at the higher dosage and I am amazed at what I am seeing now! At about the 3 week mark my hair SUDDENLY became extremely soft and much healthier looking & I am beginning to see improvements in my worst eczema spots. (I made sure to not make any other changes so I could isolate what Paraguard was doing. Having completed my first 30 day cycle, I am looking forward to a short break and then a fasting cleanse cycle with Paraguard to see how my body will respond. I definitely foresee Paraguard becoming a vital part of my health routine. I am so thankful to have found this wonderful product & have already recommended it to several of my close friends.
Thank you so much for this wonderful product! My health thanks you as well!
I've had rope worms for a good while now (10+ years) and when I read about it initially, I was convinced by others that rope worms aren't real. The 2013 study got ridiculed by many online publications. I've felt sick for so long. Bleeding, pain, lethargy, constipation, diarrhea, brain fog, weight loss, joint pain, zombified. After several tests and a colonoscopy, the doctors couldn't find anything. Then I started taking anti-parasitic herbs. I felt sick initially, but after a few days, I felt better. It doesn't make sense that the only thing curing me was anti-parasitic herbs, unless it was a parasitic infection. I started releasing worm like entities, usually with much blood. I have hundreds of photos and videos, but just look up pictures of rope worm so I can spare you. The head of the worm is usually blood soaked. Read the 2019 study that Dr. Valinski (I think that's his name) and look at the pictures in his study.
If something is wrong with your GI, don't let others convince rope worms are fake. You will only suffer. Do ParaGuard, do enemas, and you will feel healed within a week or 2. Well, the initial cleanse might take longer, but you'll be on the path to normalcy again. I have seen my bloated belly go down, and my muscles are actually getting bigger and more defined.
If you feel like a zombie all day, even after 12 hours of sleep, if you're in constant pain and grumpy all day, them take back control of your life. Start with a colon cleanse, then take ParaGuard. What have you got to lose? $30? To feel normal again?
I got this product about 5 days ago and I'm not much for measuring by counting drops, so I take about half the dropper full 3 times a day. I have had a regular bowel movement every morning since I started this product and the bloating has disappeared. I even went to a birthday dinner and ate like a cow and still didn't feel bloated and miserable like I typically would. My eczema has even cleared up a bit, going from red patches to being nearly akin colored and just slightly flaky. Now, as far as seeing any actually parasites in the toilet, I cannot attest to that. Mostly because even though I can say that I'm not scared of anything on this earth, I have no desire to dig through my poop and start pulling things out of it, because if I did find something, I honestly think it would freak me out to no end and then I'd have to admit I'm scared of something and that simply won't work for me hahaha. Around day 3 I did have some pretty epic brain fog, but it didn't last more than that day. I've not yet had any other kind of adverse effects. The taste is what I would describe as licking a tree covered in moss, but it's bearable. I just put it in a shot glass with some water, shoot it back and then chase it with something that doesn't taste like the Jungle Book. Either way, I am so happy with this so far and hope it continues to help me.
Fast forward I do two preps this year, NPC USA's and then NPC Nationals --- the weekend post show of course I INDULGED, pizza, cinnamon rolls, bread, more bread and ice cream allllll the tasty things that you can't eat in prep, well I definitely paid for it - I ballooned up with horrible SIBO symptoms, GERD and a slew of other issues and my weight jumped 12lbs in a manner of days from incredibly slowed digestion and water retention.
After looking into SIBO treatments I realized I already had this stuff tucked away in the cabinet and had several ingredients that are known to help heal SIBO. Starting taking this stuff along with additional oregano oil and wow......about 7 days after taking this my weight dropped 8lbs, my digestion improved drastically (and that's even with still enjoying some treats here and there) and my abs are back! But the biggest difference was the brain fog and energy boost......I'd been living in the perpetual state of brain fog, terrible fatigue and lethargy.....something I had just accepted as the reality of getting older.
My mind for the first time in years feels CLEAR and my energy, wow through the roof! And don't get me started on the results I was seeing come out of my system.....I was clearly harboring some nasty critters in my system that blew up out of control when I starting shoveling in the simple carbs post prep.....typically when I'm preparing for a show I'm primarily keto, so it would make since why I wasn't seeing as many issues with bloating since I wasn't readily feeding those lil f***** lol.
Starting a liver and blood cleanse with Neem and Milk thistle to boost my overall results, but WOW.....so glad I remember I had this and actually started using it as intended (btw I used the intensive dose for an adult --- didn't start noticing 'things' leaving my system until about a week after consistent use).
BUY this --- and actually USE it consistently....I'm planning on doing a 60 day cleanse with this to completely eliminate any and all critters in my system and as a nice bi-product my SIBO is noticeably clearing up as well! Cheers to good health in 2022!
I’m glad I tried it. I felt a bit of rumbling in my stomach the first day I began the treatment, then all sorts of strange things began to move and evacuate my body. I continued the treatment for two weeks then took a week off. After a week I started the treatment again and this is where I really saw some crazy stuff. I can now say without a doubt that there were creepy crawlies inside me and I had no idea that they were in there. I never felt sick or uncomfortable because of this treatment. I saw some reviewers complaining about the taste of the oils, but I actually kind of liked it. Maybe I’m weird, but to me it tasted a little like Jagermeister. I found that mixing it with a glass of green tea and sipping it slowly over the period of 20-30 minutes gave me the most powerful effect.
I’ve already recommended this product to many people. Even though it’s not a topic I would want to talk about with everyone I know and meet, I felt the benefits were so great that I have been telling people that they might want to try it even if they don’t think they need it. This is an awesome treatment that has changed the way I think about my body as an ecosystem.
Summer of 2019 I began to have horrible stomach pain, vomitting, nausea and diarrhea. I always knew I Had gallstones in my gallbladder, and they attributed it to that and told me I'd have to have it removed. I had it removed....and the symptoms persisted. CLEARLY not my gallbladder. I've been constipated since childhood so the fact that I had diarrhea every other day up to 7 times a day was a huge red flag to me. I also began to have headaches, and a loss of appetite. I did some googling and found out parasites can cause these symptoms as well. My doc did a stool sample test and found nothing. But every time I went to the bathroom I'd find shed popcorn shells in square shapes, or white sesame seeds on my toilet paper after wiping. I don't even eat popcorn or sesame seeds so I knew then I actually had parasites. I ordered this and after only 2 days, no bouts of diarrhea. I'm on day 10 right now, my last day of the mild support cleanse and for this entire 10 days, I have ZERO symptoms. They're all but gone. I've been dealing with these symptoms on and off for an entire 2 years now so I'm literally so ecstatic. No, I did not see any worms come out of me, but that's because my stools have been solid on this and I don't go digging around in it like other people. That's too gross for me. I think I would have fainted if i saw anything moving around in the toilet bowl. But this Paraguard medicine heals your gut. Take it. If you believe you're sensitive, start at mild support like me. I had no side effects. Amazing product
I ordered this product and also bought the 00 gelatin capsules and began with 15-20 drops inside the capsule, a day. Since I do tend to have allergies , I wanted to be on the safe side hence the small amount. The body starts fighting off these bugs and I did feel a bit like I had a cold. (I read somewhere that when the bugs die, they create some gases and that's what makes you sick-which is why i started with a 15-20 drops.) I continued and symptoms were better so I increased it to 25 drops a day. I did this for about 2 days. Increased to am and pm but 20 drops only each time (total of 40). Drank a lot of water too. By this time, i noticed a more worms (looked liked pin worms). I am now on 30 drops am and pm and have felt so clean if you know what I mean.
I did use coconut oil and tea tree because I had rubbed my back side so much it became irritated. Every night after I bathed, I applied this. I still do.
I still take the ACV in the mornings.
I am going to try to do two more weeks of this and then stop.
As far as washing clothes - i did that every day the first 8 days. Sheets were done every 3 days or immediately if I felt something coming out.
I do feel a lot better health wise. Incidentally, I did tell my doctor I saw things in my feces; doc didn't believe and said it was just poo. Glad I found this product. Hope this info helps.
Upon tasting the first dose I realized how strong it was & could taste how all the ingredients mixed solidly together and would give these aliens inside me a hard time. Surprisingly soothing to the taste as matter of fact. I started to have belches & burps & sometimes even small spasms in the stomach area so I knew it was causing some reactions that were necessary. I kept on taking the dose daily & the unusual part was I realized how dehydrated I was needing to consume lots of water & I even lost my appetite on many days. I felt so much better when I didn't have food like I could finally relax. I gained a deeper awareness of my body & even mind because I hear that parasites can have an affect on your thinking. I had to eat though as I can't go very long without food for a fast because I'm not used to it yet but now at least I have a challenge ahead to clean deeper & aim for total reclaiming of my body and mind back from these nasty critters. I had itching as well in many parts of my body. I didn't see anything in my stool but for me it's more feeling based than visual evidence and I know there's so much more to learn about ourselves.
Thank you for a wonderful product & I will purchase more of the ParaGuard as I am highly enthused about our health as a species & do recommend to anyone I can tell to do the same.
I ordered after hearing some amazing reviews about everyone getting rid of any gut parasites, helping with sleep problems and helping with mental health. I have had insomnia since childhood and diagnosed with adult adhd 15 years ago. Medication and herbal supplements have never helped with my insomnia and my adhd medication only helps a little.
Day 2 and no scary bathroom trips but the trips have been more frequent (not emergency) and easier/smoother. I have noticed, so far, that my brain fog is clearing up, falling asleep is still a struggle BUT I have been staying asleep. When I wake up, I wake up with energy and don’t feel like hitting the snooze button. I have had a great amount of energy on this second day and overall I just feel happy and less stressed.
I have heard of the possible side effects but I also started the cleanse at the same time as my menstrual cycle. The light cramping and headaches are most likely due to my cycle but I did ask my husband if he has felt anything so far and he says he has some slight cramping here and there, nothing painful for him.
As far as taste, it’s far from pleasing BUT it reminds me of jagermeister…so I take it like a shot and chase it with some Monster or Redbull. Does the trick, no lingering aftertaste.
I am beyond excited to continue this cleanse for the next week! It is beyond worth it, and we plan on buying some bottles for gifts to family. We feel good and want them to feel good as well!! Order it!!
Side note: a bottle of this seems to be the exact amount for 2 adults to do the 10 day cleanse, 30 drops a day, 3x a day.
Why is this not something that is part of our regular check up schedules. I had never been taught or shown that people should deworm as we do our pets. In 14 years of being a Mom none of my kid's Pediatricins has ever mentioned the fact kids should be dewormed. I just happened upon a Mom group discussion about it and then came across another post and Tiktok about what they found using this product. Curiosity got me to get this to try and though I am disgusted at the results showing that this is real, I am glad that it works as it claims.
If you are getting this I recommend the gel caps over the drops if you have flavor aversions. This tastes aweful. I tried it with lemonade, in a shot of vanilla creamer, orange juice and mixed with honey and the taste is aweful. Had I read anywhere how bad it was I would have opted for the gel caps instead of the drops. My kids are refusing to take it because of how bad it tastes, I will be attempting to load in veggie caps for them to finish treatment.
Update: wow, I feel like a completely different person. Where before I was craving sweets all the time, now I'm mostly indifferent, and also I don't need to eat as much. I feel like I have more energy, lighter, more alert, stomach issues not really a thing anymore... I feel healthy again!! I wasn't checking my poop that much because gross but I really do think I had some parasites considering the huge difference. I don't think this was a placebo effect because I saw at least one worm thingy and I was not expecting to feel this much better. I guess sometimes you don't know how sick you are until you're better? Anyways, this stuff helped me out a bunch. Highly recommend
With that, I think I'll be using the product for the rest of my life. Candida, parasites...it's all part of life and we should be maintaining our bodies.
Using this radically reduced mid-torso bloating and often now when I wake up in the morning I feel much more toned and thinner.
I have ZERO complaints and nothing bad to report other than those die-off issues.
My 10 year old kid was tested and he has parasites, I assume from coming into contact with something. I will most likely have him try this as well.
I will add that I've gone through many cycles where I kill off candida and it comes back. I'm sure that's related to other issues (enzymes, ICV, high carb diet, stress). I don't want to be taking Nystatin forever, or Pepto, so I think this is a great alternative. I'll try and update my progress as things develop.
By the way, I should add that I recommend that anything that kills candida or parasites be in a liquid form and not a capsule.
I went undiagnosed with a GI Infection for about 4 years. After being told by my doctor that I had IBS and Lactose intolerance, (which I knew was wrong) I finally went outside of the grid to a naturopath. They sent my samples off to a lab that checks for everything and lo and behold I had an incredibly nasty Aeromonas Caviae infection, something that doesn't ususally take over the gut. I was under a tremendous amount of stress at the time, maybe it was that but anyway I was just really grateful just to get the proper diagnosis and get on the road to healing. I did have to take an intense antibiotic and it wiped out my gut bacteria good and bad but at least I could eat without pain and abdomen swelling.
So now I'm about 2 years after and I still have a few lingering issues that I didn't have before the infection and after trying many pre/probiotics and ate a health simple diet I just wasn't completely back on track. Sometimes I would eat something and swelling would occur again, not the same as before but I just new enough from before that my gut health wasn't 100% yet. And my eliminations still had that infected smell when I ate the trouble food, (if you know, you know the smell). Knowing that if I wasn't bleeding out of my colon that the GI doc would not be much help.... So I hit the internet, found an article about parasites, and I ran across this product and it's rave reviews. I'm 10 days in now and I feel pretty good. More energy, less brain fog. I had a bit of trouble with kidney pains but that's on me. I definitely did not drink enough water. Water is key, be sure to keep up with it. But everything seems good. No irritation or abdomen swelling. I mix it with a bit of water in a shot glass. Tastes like Absinthe without the grain alcohol. I'm going to go the full 3 weeks just to make sure but the first 10 days have gone well. Thumbs up
I did notice that there are no instructions or guidelines for taking this. Just a dosage amount. Seems like there are probably some tips/tricks or guidance out there to optimize the experience but I couldn't find anything
About 10 years ago -- give or take -- I tested positive for parasites and I tracked down an all-herbal product that helped greatly with my parasite issues at that time. That said, I knew then that herbs were the answer and not pharmaceuticals, as pharmaceuticals all have side effects -- "direct effects" actually -- and the toxicity and acidity only compromised the parasite & anatomical issues.
Fast forward to now/today, I found a product that was herbal and contained ingredients that I was familiar with being effective for parasites and was offered in soft gel form.
Soft gels are easier to swallow and also are less compromised than capsules when shipped during the hotter months, as heat can be "very" counter productive for the ingredients contained in said capsules.
Plus, I never order anything that is only offered in tablet form because the binders can be anatomically problematic and many tablets never completely dissolve completely and end up being flushed.
Furthermore, the testing of many, many tablet-type pills has yielded factual data that indicates some tablets yield only 5% absorbency and usually not more than 20-25% absorbency.
Soft gels and capsules have a noticeably greater absorbency rate than tablets and are not compromised by binders that all tablet pills contain.
For some time now, I experienced such issues as; semi-regular, low-grade fevers. constipation, loose stools, abdominal discomfort, etc. So, I began researching the current availability of herbal remedies and I came across a product called Zahler ParaGuard and after having a close look at the ingredient list and noting that they were offered in soft gel form and noting the reviews, I placed my order.
I've been using the product for about 10 days and after about 5-6 days, I no longer experienced the aforementioned low-grade fevers -- which sapped energy and mental focus -- plus, regularity became the norm as opposed to the other issues I was experiencing.
Parasites can be very debilitating and can encourage other health issues and rob us of dietary nutrition, among other problems.
So, even if you don't believe you have a serious parasite issue, it may be wise to order an affordable bottle of either ParaGuard soft gels or a bottle of the liquid in order to maintain a healthy gut and digestive track. ... Like my grandmother would say "It couldn't hurt."
ALSO ... Considering today's average diet, parasites have become even more prevalent and conventional medicine doesn't diagnose parasitic activity near as much as it should because practitioners seldom test for it and usually treat parasite symptoms that can appear to be caused by other more known maladies.
A healthy gut can promote a healthier immune response, which can increase needed defenses against COVID-19.
And taking ParaGuard with prebiotics and probiotics can further support a healthier immune system and 70% of your immune system resides in your gut.
Hope this post is helpful -- Be diligent = Be Well.
I am a complete believer! I bought this at first for my partner because he has such a penchant for sushi.
He, being the skeptic, did not think he had worms, but took it to please me.
He passed worms! By the third day, he was reporting back to me each trip to the bathroom....I mean a serious, play by play report!
I was a little hesitant to try because I have battled digestive issues for a couple of years now. The doctors finally told me I had irritable bowel syndrome.
But my symptoms never improved with any suggested lifestyle or diet change.
I had tried diatomaceous earth many times in the past and either nothing happened or my symptoms worsened so I figured parasites were not my issue.
I hate to admit how bad my bowel problems have been for the past few years. But they controlled my life. Not one morning would go by where I wasn’t a prisoner to the toilet for a few hours. The urgency and discomfort were a struggle. I became used to making all appointments afternoon appointments.
I even had a colonoscopy just to rule out an issue there as well.
I blamed coffee, or medication, or diet, only to then listen to the doctors saying it. must be irritable bowel. Only, with irritable bowel, one sometimes has constipation.
I NEVER had constipation. It was always the reverse and sadly it was daily and severe.
The bloated sore belly is something I blamed on hormonal changes and middle age.
So, I tried these drops. Thirty drops twice a day because I didn’t want to go too hard too fast. This was less than a week ago.
I kid you not, the things I am passing are straight out of a science fiction movie.
But the urgency and pain has stopped. And instead of diarrhea like I’ve lived with daily for three years, I am passing stools that while, disgustingly full of things that should not be there, are now beginning to form and become more solid.
I am still shocked. And this is on just two doses a day!
I will be telling everyone I know, everyone that will listen to try this. I’m serious.
When we eat out at restaurants, or salads prepared by others, or sushi etc, we are asking for parasites. Most likely we all have had them at one time or another and some of us cannot get rid of them without some form of treatment.
This is amazing and I am so grateful to have found this stuff!
I’m actually looking forward to having my mornings back
People really do not realize how prevalent parasites are in common society. It had been about 15 years since my last parasite cleanse, and I was apparently very overdue. I had been having some digestive issues for some time, including bouts of loose, floating stools, sulfurous burps, bloating, major sugar cravings followed by intense stomach discomfort and so, so much more. I had suspected parasites for a bit, and had tried heavy fiber supplementation, fenugreek, pumpkin seeds, butternut tincture and more with minimal relief.
I started this cleanse feeling pretty miserable, being right in the middle of a rough bout of digestive illness. The first two days of using this, I went from frequent watery stools, to pretty much nothing at all. I bumped up my water intake, and then I noticed that after that two day period, my stools came back firmed up and the sulfur smells disappeared completely. This in itself made me very happy, though I had not seen any evidence of parasites actually coming out at this point. I was noting however that my sugar cravings had dramatically decreased, and the usual sugar in my beverages seemed much too sweet. My energy levels went up dramatically and I felt great!
And then.... about a week into it, I spent two solid days feeling like I might be coming down with something. Tired and foggy brained, my loose stools came back, and I suffered an odd single sporadic issue with a severely runny nose that hit suddenly out of nowhere late at night, and went away within an hour. I deliriously dragged myself off to bed and had fitful, vivid nightmares all night.
The next morning (today) I woke up feeling better but having some stomach pain and upset. I had to use the bathroom immediately upon waking, and groggily checking the toilet I almost puked when I saw a live worm wriggling around. I expected the possibility for worms....dead ones. But not this. This was almost too much.
So yes, I am about a week and a half in now, am feeling so much better all around (and so happy to have evicted at least one unwelcome guest). I will be continuing to use this for another few weeks, as well as recommending this to family and friends. Parasite infestation causes a huge range of issues, and some people find that what they thought were chronic illnesses often virtually disappear along with the parasites. I am confident that I have fully gotten my dollars worth already, and look forward to checking out the other products that are offered from this company.
When I obtained ParaGuard, I felt it prudent to test whether or not I was allergic to something in the mixture with a single drop. There's a few ingredients in ParaGuard that I haven't ever introduced into my body, namely wormwood. No allergic reaction, but I did feel somewhat off...so I tried five drops the next time around.
Five drops gave me an extremely off feeling and also a, not unpleasant, emotionless calm. Were it not for nausea at such a low does, and the off feeling that accompanied this calmness, I'd have said this was a positive...but with such a low dose, and extreme effect, I figured I would contact the Zahler and inquire as to whether or not I may be a little TOO sensitive to elements of the blend.
It was explained to me that my suspicion may be correct and that there are, indeed, rare instances of people who are too sensitive to some of the ingredients. It was then suggested that I discontinue use and go with an alternative product, suggested to me, that shouldn't cause any ill effects...but is less potent than ParaGuard. This product contains ingredients I've definitely introduced to the body on the regular, so I assume it will be fine even at higher doses. I was even given a coupon code for this alternative to be used with Apex Nutrition for the suggested product!
So, why am I giving ParaGuard five stars?
1: Apex Nutrition shipped the product to me quickly and safely. It arrived in perfect condition.
2: ParaGuard uses natural ingredients, which was why I went with the product to begin with, big pro for me.
3: ParaGuard actually has a very pleasant Autumn scent, and the taste is something you will probably adjust to.
4: Zahler was EXTREMELY helpful, cordial, and hell...even gave me a coupon code for the store and alternative.
5: If it wasn't for my sensitivity, the primary side effect, that I presume to be a result of the wormwood, actually would have been very pleasant. If you have anxiety, this is going to make you calm right down. So, if you're not sensitive to the product, like I seem to be, you're likely going to get an added benefit from using the product as it's intended.
Just because a product doesn't respond well with me doesn't provoke a negative rating.
When it comes to health-related products, I understand that everyone's going to respond differently. So, it's really all about customer support and the transaction that I, personally, believe is important. When you have sellers and companies that are extremely helpful, quick to answer questions, and go the extra mile...that's worth a lengthy, positive, review.
SO, I'd highly suggest trying the product out.
Your experience is likely to be very positive one way or the other...there's really no downside here.
A cleaner/healthier/happier gut was my main goal for this cleanse, with the hopes of also eliminating anything that may have managed to invade my insides, which I think is a good occasional practice. Some years ago I tried a parasite cleanse with the same ingredients in pill form, so I had a pretty good idea going in how this would affect me. I went with the 4x/day dosage on the bottle & convinced my husband to go with the 3x/day. Sometimes we took it 30 mins before meals (especially in the morning, when I felt it was doing the most good), but sometimes right before eating or when it was most convenient for our schedules. We took it for a full two weeks because there seems to be some difference in professional recommendation for the duration of this sort of cleanse.
This stuff is quite bitter/herbal tasting (I could smell it straight after opening the package but was glad because I hoped the ingredients were potent enough to do their job) so I recommend putting the drops in a shot glass & mixing with a little no-sugar-added pineapple juice. The truth is by the end I didn't mind the taste as much and could just mix it with a little water.
This kind of cleanse seems to work better for me when I follow a modified diet, so I did the same with this product. I avoided added sugars, reduced my carb intake (mostly ate whole grains for carbs but did not eliminate them completely for the simple fact I wouldn't have enough energy for daily life), cut out my usual 1 daily diet soda & included a lot more veggies & pumpkin seeds. I did not avoid fruit or dairy completely & I drank 1-2 mugs of tea daily. I stopped taking a daily multivitamin just in case it interfered with the product or vice versa. (My husband did not modify his diet as much as I did but also didn't feel the cleanse did anything tangible for him except promote looser stools, though I think he tends to have a harder time noticing physical effects than me.)
For me, the first day was probably the hardest - suddenly reducing my carbs & cutting out caffeinated soda had me feeling like I couldn't get off the couch, ZERO energy. I wouldn't say I had loads of energy during the rest of the cleanse but it did improve a lot from there. I got a little constipated during the second week, but surprisingly was not particularly uncomfortable. Neither of us saw anything exotic in the toilet, but speaking for myself, I experienced a much healthier/happier feeling gut after just a couple of days - I had no particular gut problems before I started, but felt noticeably better throughout the cleanse. I also experienced noticeably clearer thinking & less craving for sugar. As for more side benefits, I lost a couple of pounds & did not experience as much premenstrual back aching as usual.
Personally I plan to start this product up again for a couple weeks after finishing a 7-10 day break, to finish off anything that may have hatched in the meantime. Some of the benefits I experienced were probably somewhat due to changing my diet, but I believe this product offered strong support in combination with that. Very happy with this purchase!
So we started the ParaGuard on a Friday evening. By Saturday evening both of us felt like we'd been run over with a truck and were not able to be very far removed from a bathroom. Headaches, muscle aches, bowels in a veritable uproar. It took 2 days for me to even out , but my husband lost an entire week to the Herx reaction.
I still haven't seen actual parasites, but he has. Tapeworms and pin worms for certain... He's been fighting Lyme and RA, for more than a year and an online naturopath friend suggested this as a good way to detox. We are also taking Pau d'Arco extract from another supplier to get rid of potential fungal infections. That also seems to be working as both of our noses are running, and he is coughing junk put of his bronchials as well.
His Herx reaction was severe. A tooth that periodically bothers him flared up seriously, he had chills, exhaustion, joints swelling, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, and did I mention exhaustion?
We cut back to 10 drops twice a day for him, and he is still seeing parasites in his stool, but not feeling so annihilated by the herxing.
Our plan is to keep it at the 10 drops twice a day until the body fatigue and aches are basically gone and then gradually increase to tolerance until he can do 30 drops twice a day without massive reaction.
I just want to warn people that if they have a heavy load of parasites, this will definitely clear them out, but the healing crises might be a serious butt kicker. To reiterate, mine only lasted for 2 days, but he was totaled for a full week even on a reduced amount starting the reduction on day 4 of the process.
I work with animals on a daily basis, and my husband works with them but perhaps a quarter of the amount that I do. And yet my load and herx reaction were much less severe than my husband's. He does bite his fingernails, so perhaps that is a factor?
I'm so impressed that we are getting a bottle for our oldest daughter and her family. And I highly recommend getting on this as a protocol BEFORE you have a serious parasite load.
Bottom line, this stuff REALLY works!
I waited to see if this product worked despite being emailed several times requesting a review. (Bad company for doing this, even if your product worked wonders for me.) Recommend readers ignore any review that did not do this.
I am pretty sure I have had some sort of parasitic worm for at least 2 years. Not sure whether I got it traveling or gardening or eating unwashed produce. First hint was waking up one night with a strange creature resting next to my ear. Freaked out and threw it away. At routine physical doctor said "worms don't crawl out of your ear." So I went on since I had no symptoms.
Next I got some strange virus that did in my inner ear system and left me permanently with almost no sense of balance. This probably wasn't related other than perhaps due to a weakened immune system. Next I caught another virus while traveling in India (no, it wasn't the food there since I got sick on the trip over, vomiting 9 times on the plane trip). Didn't really eat anything much there since my digestive system at this point went into meltdown. Besides, I was staying either at 5 star hotels or with in-laws with double water filtration. Was really sick when I returned, and was run through all kinds of parasite and other tests with nothing found. Felt better after about a month, but never quite right, After a few months a GI guy gave me flagyl and it removed my symptoms for a few weeks (plus generated two episodes of worm-like things in my stool). But they came back. Bottom line is that I think you have to keep at it with the medicine to kill the various stages of the worm growth. I probably got rid of the adults, but still had the larvae maturing in my system. Note to anyone considering flagyl - it is a very strange antibiotic/anti-fungal/anti-parasitic drug that does very strange things to users. Proceed with caution.
Now let me say that American doctors generally do not seem to believe that people get parasites unless simple tests say yes. This is clearly not the case. I suspect there are doctors on the coasts who know how to deal with this, but not in the interior of the US. I had gotten a referral to a parasite doctor at MGH in Boston, but decided to try an over the counter before going there. My own doctor seemed to think I was crazy. Being an ivy-league educated PhD "statistician," I had enough self confidence not to pay any attention to him on that point.
Anyway, I spent hours reading reviews and narrowed the choice down to this product -- being a little scared I could do myself harm by taking an unregulated product like this. Since I wanted to kill all stages of growth, I did 2 weeks on (taking the recommended dose), one week off, 2 weeks on, one week off, and another 2 weeks on. That was about 6 weeks ago and I feel pretty much back to normal (what I felt like before.) My stomach is still a little sensitive -- things like beans bother me that never did before. But it is great to think I hopefully have gotten past the parasites.
I have been feeling lousy for almost six months now, bloated, changes in appetite eating too much or too little and just generally tired.
I do have health issues and depression but this was something very different. I started to get what my doctor thought was acid reflux, tightness in my throat, bowl movements changed etc.
I ate a meal heavy in garlic and sriracha. Later I found (I know this is disgusting) round worms after a trip to the little girls room. If not for the overly spicy and garlic laden meal I never would have thought of parasites.
Well I ate plenty of spice waiting for the ParaGaurd to arrive. I started taking it almost a week now and after just a few days the hard belly and bloat went away and no more "acid reflux" as my doctor thought it was.
I have to say that this product has made me feel much better and I hope after I'm done with my dosing everything is cleared out. It seems to be doing its job.
Yes it tastes bad but I found a way around it buy putting the drops in a quarter cup of tea/orange juice energy drink. I don't breath through my nose and just down it like a shot. Honestly it kinda tastes good combined with the mixture.
A word of advice, when you first start using it start on a day you won't be at work or running errands until you see how it affects you. The first three days were pretty much centered around the bathroom but as I feel better and better things have stabilized.
I know this is a loooong review but there are people complaining about the taste blah blah blah and honestly if you put it in the right drink its very palatable. It sure beats having parasites. Hope I didn't gross too many people out..
