I've been telling people that ground pumpkin seed is a natural de-wormer for quite a while, and was really never able to find any substantiation for my claim other than I learned it from a vet (which vet??) a long time ago.
Well, this a.m. I was looking online for a holistic approach to rid my dog of tape worm, and I found this:
"Pumpkin seeds
Freshly-ground pumpkin seeds can be fed to your dog to treat tapeworm infestation. Use whole raw seeds and grind them immediately before feeding the fine meal to your dog. Depending on the size of your dog, you can give 1/4 to one teaspoon of ground pumpkin seeds to your dog for each meal."
I found it on this site:

They don't mention diatomaceous earth, but I think I'll give that a try too.
