Thank you honey - for your kind words and your support. I don't think HUMAWORM was mentioned by name - most of the calls and emails just say that Dr. Oz was talking about parasites on the show.

The more folks get to talking about the issue - the better!

Here's the website for the Oprah show with Dr. Oz -

Maybe the best kind of tapeworm is the dead, and out, kind.

Not to be sarcastic, but a critter to show and tell begs the question, doesn't it?

...How the heck did you get it HERE...dead and finished?

I mean, that's a very old tapeworm...how did you get it out of its former cosy home?

Wouldn't it just be fine if one nasty old critter, dead, were to shoot down any ideas about limiting access to herbs and home remedies?

Wouldn't it be exciting to reward all the 'bush medicine' people who have labored long and alone to discover the things we need to know?

Think of all the moms and pops who figured out how to help their babes with what was at hand...all the way back to caveman days...everywhere they walked on this planet.

Heroes, every one.

And those who read here, and never post, due to shyness.

Heavens...I've been called 'new age', as a slur, by someone who should know better.

I was thoroughly surprised. Me? 'NEW AGE'? I'm still trying to deal with the OLD age!

People should be appreciated for the contributions they make, especially the ones they make out of their interests and even loves. Those are the ones we do best, you know, all of us; the things we are 'gifted' at, the things we can't NOT do because they belong to our hearts.

Hooray for dewormers!!! Brave, brave people!

I was so happy to see a regular medical doc talking about this!! I had the feeling that he knew a lot more about it than he was saying... and he wanted to tell more, but was introducing the topic and would wait for the reaction before saying more.

One thing I really like and respect about Dr. Oz is that he is not afraid to admit that alternative, or as he called it, Eastern medicine has a lot of validity. I wish more medical doctors were open enough to combine both Eastern and Western healing modalities. I know the doctors around here seem to be owned body and soul by pharmaceutical companies and for profit "health care systems". Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the information freely discussed and practiced instead of treating natural health like it was just folklore and witchcraft without merit.

either fish or beef - they can grow to over 30 feet. Pork tapeworms are very very small, while dog/cat tapeworms are only about 7-12 inches long.
