So if I don't see anything crawling in my poop is it likely I don't have worms? Or are there other types and I could still benefit from deworming?
I have eaten some fish that seems had parasites or bacteria. At least we felt sick after.
Aajonus is of the opinion that parasites are usually beneficial.
Hulda clark is of the opinion that parasites are harmful.
Both agree parasites are ubiquitous. (there are lots and lots of different ones.)
It is up to you and I to decide if and when parasites are harmful, when to kick them out.
Livestock raisers and pet raisers decide if and when parasites are harmful and when to kick them out.
Much earlier pre-raw in 2006 I had liver flukes in my poops, they looked like tomato peels, even if I didn't eat any tomatoes.
My sister was 4-5 years old when she coughed up a 7 inch long whipping round worm in the car and she wasn't on raw.
I deworm my children every 2 years. Or when I see symptoms. Like when my girl had not much appetite and appeared too thin. I'd say her deworming was a success because she started eating well again and gained weight.
My tapeworm deworming was a success because I gained weight and ate drastically less. Darned tapeworms were eating my food.
We have herbal dewormer from
www.oldfashionedspices.com on stand by because protozoa such as amoeba is a common parasite that gives tummy aches and would usually send my wife to the hospital, happened to her 3 times already. But now that we have this herbal dewormer on stand by, any rumblings she gets that she suspects is some amoeba she would take the dewormer for 2 days and her symptoms vanish. Same thing happened to my sister in law when she was suspected of having amoebiasis.
