Can Pumpkin Seeds Really Kill a Tapeworm?

Pumpkin Power for Banishing Parasites

If you ever happen to fall victim to tapeworm infestation, do not despair. Fast for 12 hours and then take 2 ounces of fresh pumpkin seeds and remove the outer skins by scalding them. Grind the remaining pulp (it will be green) - into a paste thinned with a few drops of milk. Take this mixture at the end of the fast and wait two hours. Then take 4 teaspoons of castor oil mixed with fruit juice. The tapeworm should be expelled within 3 hours. *castor oil is not to be taken regularly as it can be harmful to the system.
