First a question. Are americans generally more exposed to parasites than other western people? I ask because I have never in my adult life heard of anyone who has problems with parasites. I got giardia lambia once in the 80's when I visited Leningrad and it caused diarrhoea and the pain that comes with diarrhoea. The parasite went away after one pill prescribed by a doctor.

Artemisia is partly a dangerous plant - or at least some from that family is. Southernwood and estragon are nice herbs from the family that can be used freely in food but wormwood, Artemisia absinthium causes serious psyciatric problems. Would the word absinth have anything to do with the word absent?

The cure was good but the patient died. Ibland är boten värre än soten.

And what are para-bugs?

  you can purchase a 90 day kit from a health food store, the kit comprising:
  90 days of herbal pills (artemesia herb primarily, black walnut liquid, and other good stiff).

  my wife tried it and her blood test showed significant reduction of para-bugs.
