Dealing with parasites 

I don't know about all parasites, but have specific experience with lice / nits being associated with nutritional deficiencies. Also malaria associated with sodium sulphate deficiency, and on the basis of my own experience and putting 2+2 together, offer the following information. Whether it can be applied to all parasites or not, remains to be seen. 

In times past, nature cure proponents, have referred to lice as nature's scavengers which live off impurities in the blood. 

The presence of parasites points to impurities in the bloodstream, which can be effectively eliminated by correct use of cellsalts. For further development of this idea, and the fact that parasites both are a result of impurities plus cause illness, many nature cure authors can add to this idea including Paul Bragg and Hulda Clarke to name a couple.

Many of the impurities are a result of the body's own metabolic processes, and others include such things as artificial colours and flavours, preservatives, emulsifiers, residues of pesticides, fluoride, chlorine, many other chemicals ingested through lungs and skin.

This idea is in accordance with the soil theory, which states that illness comes about through an impure bloodstream. No wonder this theory isn't popular these days with the overload of environmental poisons that get taken into the body which all need to be eliminated or they accumulate within the body. Such poisons which are considered acceptable by modern day standards but they all need to be eliminated, otherwise their presence in the body causes problems. 

According to the soil theory germs and bacteria are nature's undertakers and only thrive in a polluted environment. However, not only does the soil theory apply to germs, it can also be applied to parasites such as lice and athletes foot / tinea (fungus). The fact that it works, is proof that the soil theory is a valid theory.

Cellsalt deficiency symptoms generally only need one or two cellsalts as a remedy e.g., hiccoughs (mag phos and/or nat mur), underarm odour (silica). However, the treatment for eliminating lice or athletes foot is a bit more complicated, involving all the 12 cellsalts at different times, but mainly keeping calcium, potassium and sodium in balance.

It will generally be found that the following approach is good.

Primary remedy

Calcium as the primary remedy, often in rather large amounts too but will vary from person to person. Calcium needs to be kept in balance with magnesium phosphate, and needs enough vitamin D to absorb it also.

Secondary remedies

Sodium  
Sodium phosphate and sulphate are two of the cellsalts to deal with acidity, along with magnesium phosphate and silica.

Potassium 
Potassium needs to be kept in balance with sodium.

Fungal infections

Fungal infections respond to treatment with cellsalts and in time can be totally eliminated. This is in accordance with the soil theory which states that a pure blood stream is the only cure for disease, and any impurities is partial death which means natures scavengers move in to return what is dead to the soil. 

Acidity

Acidity has a bearing on resistance to parasites. See also books such as 'The Miracle of Fasting' by Paul Bragg, available from amazon.com.

Malaria

The Biochemic Handbook mentions a treatment for malaria - sodium sulphate in the treatment of malaria.
