I see that some parasite cleanse plans have people take up to 9 500mg capsules a day of ground cloves. This is equivalent to two teaspoons. These cleanses last for 4 weeks then people take a few months off before doing this again. Some of the cleanses have people take one capsule 3x a day, then perhaps work up to 3 at a time 3 times a day for just a week. So I guess two teaspooons a day of ground cloves taken continuously is too much.
