Parasite Primer ... continued
The Ever Ubiquitous Ascaris
Although the above sample was shot
at only 10X magnification, most practitioners would have missed it.
Orthodox medicine teaches that about
one in
every four people have ascaris lumbricoides.
Experienced hydrotherapists
laugh when they hear this -- as it is ridiculously low.
They know different.
They "see" different.
It is rare to find a person who
is completely parasite free, and the most common evidence of this is
the constant discovery of ascaris - in its many stages of development -
within the stool samples. The reason for the difference in perspective
has to do with the line betweeen "asymptomatic" and "symptomatic" -- between
"diagnosable" using gross, unexacting standards, and "undiagnosable" when
standards are such that symptoms rising from patient complaints do not
yet exist.
The vast majority of pictures in
this primer were taken from people who would never have been diagnosed
as having parasites had they gone to their primary care physician.
Furthermore, the majority of people from whom these specimens were
taken were actually surprised when told that they had parasite
infestation.
Common English usage frequently
makes reference to the rabbit as an example of hearty procreation.
But no member of the Mammalian class can compare to the mighty
Nematodas. Adult female nematodes can lay as many as 200,000
eggs per day, although 50,000 to 100,000 eggs per day is more common.
Conventional medicine gives
short riff over the immunological effects of parasite activity
that does not reach the threshold of full-blown, diagnosable
disease which can positively confirm the parasites as the
etiological source.
Good preventative medicine
would say that is a mistaken and misguided. To paraphrase the
American physician, Dr. John McDougall (M.D.), this is yet another
example where, "Doctors don't pay attention ... because there is
more money to be made in treating disease than in preventing it."

Ready to Attach
Morphologically, intestinal
nematodes develop a wide "mouth" called a "stylet" which attaches
to the walls of the intestines. A human can have thousands of
these creatures sucking blood nutrients out of the body without
developing symptoms that would leave the average physician
to suspect anything amiss. This shot was taken at 200X. [
