Re: Doctors Discover New Worm, One That's Lethal to Humans
That's a great story, thanks.
All it's missing [from my p.o.v] is a link to a source or reference.
Like I've said before, it really makes no difference what kind of infestation is inside, as long as it's cleared from the body, period. Unfortunately for the man in the story, "Cancer" or "Aids" killed him, not an unknown parasitic organism, which goes to show yet again the great dangers of assumptions, specially when it comes to Sciences that deal with life-threatening situations. I wonder how many "Aids" and/or "Cancer" patients have died eaten away by this microbe. That's why I like to take my time when it comes to 'conclusions' derived from observations.
A simple and logical examination of the man's stool and a carefully considered ensuing Protocol could have saved his life and he would be alive today, perhaps, but I suppose now we'll never know, will we. It's possible that m.d.s [the other kind] never even considered a simple stool exam because parasites never crossed their mind! Boy I sure hope I never fall into hands like those!
As for me, I have in antiseptic store an ARRAY of "unknown" organisms, most likely parasitic in nature, recovered from patients. If these guys want to make another "discovery", they're more than welcome to them. As far as I'm concerned, as long as I can kill them I'm fine, and so are those I'm trying to assist. I'll leave the taxonomy to scholars, this time around too.
