Food and water are the most common sources of parasite and invading organism transmission. Since most of us eat three times a day and drink water frequently throughout the day, our exposure to these sources is constant. Tap water has been found to be contaminated with harmful organisms. Both plant and animal foods carry parasites, and cleaning and cooking methods often do not often destroy them before ingestion. While some parasites create no symptoms in their hosts, others can cause severe illness.  Parasitic infections occur when parasites grow, reproduce, or invade organ systems that make their hosts ill. Just some of the symptoms caused by a parasite infection include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, fever, gas, diarrhea, constipation, flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, aches and pains, itching and redness or irritation. Advanced Gut Relief is an immune enhancing, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic formulation.

Black Walnut
Internally the medicine is used for gastrointestinal catarrh and as a blood purifier.  It has been used as a laxative and despite such a high tannin content the powdered bark is claimed to be a purgative. 
Sweet Wormwood
Bitters are substances capable of strongly stimulating the bitter receptors in the taste buds at the back of the tongue.  It may dramatically increase the duodenal levels of pancreatic enzymes and bile.  Sweet Wormwood is a yin tonic which cools heat from fever. Commonly used in the treatment of Malaria. It has also been recommended for treating anorexia and dyspepsia. Flatulence, malabsorption (including anemia) and degeneration of the gastrointestinal system can all be relieved with the use of Artemisia. 
Barberry
Barberry is traditionally used for ailments and discomforts of the kidneys and urinary tract, the gastrointestinal tract, for liver diseases, bronchial discomforts, spleen ailments, spasms and as a stimulant to the circulatory system.  It is anti-microbial, cholagogue, choleretic, anti-emetic and a mild laxative. Berbers control gastrointestinal infections and improve the flow of bile.
Pau D’arco
The stem bark of Pau D’arco has broad spectrum anti-microbial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi.  The herb may also benefit persons with impaired immunity. Traditional uses include anaemia, backache, colds, dysentery, fever, headaches and sore throat.
Fennel
Fennel has been known as a symptomatic treatment for mild spasmodic gastro-intestinal complaints including bloating and flatulence. Traditionally used as a carminative to treat flatulent colic, irritable bowel syndrome and to increase appetite.  Fennel is more relaxing and more easily tolerated than Cumin or Dill and more stimulating than Anise seeds.

Oregano has been popular ever since the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations used it for medicinal purposes. In fact, the name oregano comes from the Greek words “oros,” meaning mountain, and “ganos,” meaning joy or delight. Oregano contains compounds called phenols, terpenes, and terpenoids. They have powerful antioxidant properties. It is a natural antibiotic.
