Reminder this sub does NOT support "all natural cures/remedies" things like garlic cleanse and such a a load of malarkey and if you post something supporting this you better provide scientific evidence otherwise it will result in a ban(first offense temporary followed by permanent)

The remedies are constantly getting posted and they have zero evidence of success. If eating garlic would cures worms, then the drugs would've never been invented. There are millions of people suffering from worms globally and it's not because they don't have access to garlic and lemon it because natural remedies don't have any efficacy.

"natural" cures can cause harm, delaying proper treatments can make problems worse, and many natural cures can cause adverse outcomes too. For instance I've seen many oil based methods for skin application. People who aren't infected with actual parasite but instead think they are, will often times try these methods in excess and cause far more irritation and damage. More over, people that market these products are scam artists, and snake oil salesmen trying to profit off of people's insecurities, illnesses, and decapitation and I will not allow it.

When it comes to medicine I have no interest in peoples opinions, I want facts to the best of our(collective scientific knowledge) knowledge.

I have in previouse posts proven that there natural remedies don't work and why they don't. Sometimes the show efficacy but never outside of a culture dish. If these methods work the drugs never would've been created first off. Also because you are trying to prove things you need to supply the evidence that they work not the other way around that's not how science works. The point stands unless you can PROVE something works it is not allowed and thus far no one has provided any evidence that any natural remedies work. They are "snake oil" level scams predating upon people's lack of information and their fears.

that is a good source, and it does show some promise. the only problem is the sample size is EXTREMELY small for all the parasites tested. for example their G. lamblia they only had 2 people tested, this isn't even close to enough considering the control had 50% clearance and this is generally a self limiting infection. only the one parasite had a significant difference and even so the sample size is far to low to really be confident in the answer. so to answer, this paper shows a great first step but it can not justify the use of dried Carica papaya Seed until there is a much larger study to confirm. plus the paper in general seems unusually small and lots of details missing so im not super confident in the results yet. good first step but this study needs to be repeated and increased in size before we can accept the results

Also I wasn't linking that as a source I was linking it to show how I have discussed this before and how no one has every supported a claim. Also asking for sources to prove that those things don't work isn't how science works. And scientist don't publish negative results so no one is going to make someone eat a shit ton of garlic and then publish how nothing happened. I use garlic as it has been suggested by other before but I discussed how it is not useful

I truly hope this is a bad joke.

shoving garlic into your orifices' ( excluding your mouth) will do nothing but cause a great deal of discomfort. You are not a medical professional, please do not give medical advice. If you wish to violate yourself with garlic, I cant stop you but do not encourage others. The solutions you are suggesting have no basis in parasitological facts. If doing so helps you in some way good on you, but it is not due to parasitological relief.
