* ⚡ [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_enzymes Digestive enzymes], such as papain and bromelain, are said to make the intestinal tract inhospitable to parasites by dissolving their outer layers. In particular, papain - the milky juice of the unripe papaya - is claimed to be a powerful agent for destroying roundworms. One subject has reported a return of symptoms after taking a product containing bromelain, protease, papain, lipase and amylase for several weeks, and another individual has reported losing their entire hookworm colony after taking ''Healthy Origins Broad Spectrum Digestive Enzymes''[http://www.healthyorigins.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=85736], which contain amylase, protease, peptidase, alpha-galactosidase, glucoamylase, acid maltase, cellulase, pectinase, protease, lipase, lactase, beta-glucanase, invertase and hemicellulase.

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folic_acid Folic Acid] has been claimed to help prevent the proliferation of intestinal parasites at a dosage of 400 - 800 mcg (0.4 - 0.8 mg) per day.
