Did you know:
Pumpkin seeds are best known for their effect on the prostate. They are used often to increase virility and resolve the problems that cause swelling of the prostate. It is hence a male tonic food, but it is also an excellent vermifuge, being more effective with round and tape worms than giardia and amoebas. Pumpkin seeds are also a great source of zinc and vitamin A, but it is higher in protein, 29%, than almost any other nut or seed.
Pumpkin seeds and sesame oil both have some anti-parasitic properties. According to researchers intestinal parasites affect 80% of the USA population, some say it is high as 90%, others think everyone is affected.
Intestinal Parasites can be contracted through meats, improperly washed vegetables and fruits, improperly prepared foods, drinking contaminated tap water, pets, air, walking barefoot, e.g., The list is seemingly endless. I will write more on my personal research on the subject and natural products I have used to combat intestinal parasites later.
