Re: For rabbitears From FireEarthWaterAir (no reply box neither in your message)

Hello:

You're very welcome.

You've touched on two major concerns that I'd like to put more focus on.

1. Demystify and educate people on the existence of parasites.

2. Your family situation that you've shared is common with rejection and blame. People don't have anywhere to turn because traditional counseling wants to give people psych pills just for mentioning parasites. I know a lot of issues come up for people and they're dealing with many things. I think these forums are helpful to some people, but something else needs to be put in place. When dealing with some kind of trauma or phobia or whatever, people need to feel safe without feeling like their going to be attacked or criticized. I think this is really important.

Several years ago when I started, about 6-8 months into cleanses, I developed a terrible phobia and couldn't look at any parasites or pictures. I didn't feel safe to talk about it when the phobia began and felt embarrassed. It took me a year to work through it on my own; I was able to mention the phobia along with viewing pictures again objectively without feelings.

It would be nice to have a "universal jab" as you mentioned to prevent infections. For now, compassion and open-mindedness is a good start for healing. :)
