Some very bitter items have been used successfully against certain
parasites.
E.g. Lemon seeds. If you once bite onto a lemon seed you know how nasty
it's taste is. However the bitterness should be effective against worms.
Raw carrot. Several other roots (radish).
Several spices like oregano - it's most effective against various germs
like garlic is.
Raw onions chopped, with some oil, I've read about.

If a parasite goes into inner organs like liver, lung and muscle - like
tapeworm fins, a malaria stage, nematodes , fox-tapeworms and a whole
host of parasites, then I think it's rather difficult to find a remedy.
If parasites aren't killed in the first stage of infection - by stomach
acid or proper herbs - then it's becoming difficult or impossible to
cure. Sometimes even for modern medicine.

Some good parasite links - including such with pictures and regional
informations are for example at:
