Shrimpy,
those well-trained Doctors you refer to are the 3rd leading cause of death within the USA (Iatrogenic).

Pasteur was right when he stated that the germ is nothing, and the terrain everything.................

On the subject of any Parasites..........

"Any parasite, including the malarian parasite, will be eliminated if the bodies system is clear of toxicity.
parasites can only thrive in a medium that is conducive to its growth and an internal environment that is unclean...........
parasites along with their larva and eggs are almost as ubiquitous as bacteria. We come in contact with them daily and in a hundred ways. It is probably impossible to avoid taking them into our bodies in some form. We must, therefore, possess a very adequate defense mechanism that protects us from their infestation so long as we do not break it down.
It is common to think that there are parasitic diseases and the textbooks list a whole catalog of these. It is the Hygienic view that parasites are merely incidental and adventitious elements of disease and NOT cause. Wrong habits of body and mind reduce the powers of the body and make it possible for parasites to live in its cavities. To repeat, the parasites are not the cause of the disease, but incidents of the disease. When you start homesteading parasites you may know that your tissues and secretions have become so impaired that the parasites find residence in them possible. Parasites of all kinds must find favorable habitats if they are to set up housekeeping.
Intestinal parasites do not trouble those of normal digestive powers; those who have normal resistance. After they have impaired their digestive system and broken down their resistance, parasites can live in the intestines and colon. An intestinal tract that does not harbor decomposition and putrefaction will successfully resist an invasion of parasites and bacteria. Intestinal catarrh permits the inroads of parasites. When the intestinal catarrh has reach the ulcerative stage it becomes a serious menace to the life of the patient"...........
