> Chicory is well known for its toxicity to internal parasites. Studies indicate that ingestion of chicory by farm animals results in reduction of worm burdens,[31][32][33] which has prompted its widespread use as a forage supplement. Only a few major companies are active in research, development, and production of chicory varieties and selections, most in New Zealand.
>Chicory (especially the flower), used as a folk medicine in Germany, is recorded in many books as an ancient German treatment for everyday ailments. It is variously used as a tonic and as a treatment for gallstones, gastro-enteritis, sinus problems and cuts and bruises. (Howard M. 1987). Chicory contains inulin,[34][35] which may help humans with weight loss, constipation, improving bowel function and general health.[36] In rats, it may increase calcium absorption and bone mineral density.[34] It also increases absorption of calcium and other minerals in humans.[37][38][39][40]
Damn anon I guess you'll have to regrow your internal worm farm?
Good God, squire. You're in a real pickle there, aren't you.
