Lauren,
I am nearly 70 years old. My worst troubles in life, right from the get-go, were from people who laid guilt trips on me that would have choked a horse.
Possible parasite problems didn't appear for years, and were limited to pinworms.
By the time I got into the really difficult stuff (parasites and health issues) it didn't matter where they came from; only that there were people like R.G. who knew what to do and said so.
I wish with all my heart that I had known his wisdom (his mom's and his grandma's) much, much earlier. Regular cleansing, sooner, would have put the parasite question right out of my mind, and right out of my life!
You, young lady, already know, and you are about to prove that this problem can be happily managed.
Do you blame your ancestors for your straight hair...or for the shape of your nose? No.
Do you blame them for giving you life in the state of Maine, or for the income level they provided? No.
Your baby, by the time it really matters, will have the advantages of proper nutrition and cleansing and reasonable parents. He/she will thank you all of his/her life, long after you are gone. Your great-grandchildren will thank you.
That's the only thing that lasts, the only thing that counts...what you did well!
It is the same with all of us...we are born into conditions as they are. We then use our heads to decide what is best, and our children thank us for our happiest choices.
That's how it works.
So, be of good cheer. You have already found good stuff. And you are smart enough to find much more in the years ahead. You are going to be one very wise and beloved grandma!
Besides, 70% of all parasites are microscopic, can't be seen...and 'problems' with them don't develop for years. You'll be nipping them in the bud...early.
Enjoy your adventure in cleansing! It's downright grand!
My best,
Fledgling
