What do these women do to worm themselves??? Curious.
--------------------

Hi, I'm not able to answer your question in depth because I never read
through any of their long and detailed posts on the subject; just scanned a
few of them.

Apparently, after studying the subject (most of them spend weeks/months
reading about it) the women take a mixture of parasite cleansing herbs,
olive oil, etc. and let it work through their bodies.    Others regularly
use the Vitamost Para-Clns that has freeze dried black walnut hulls, pumpkin
seed, grapefruit seed extract, garlic, wormwood, cloves.  The Young Living
preparation also has fennel and cinnamon.

After passing the worms, some of the women take them to a lab/hospital to
find out what they are.  Those worming themselves are not imagining the 10"
worms or balls of worms that they pass; most of the women have professional
careers and have been very credible in the two years that I've known them.

That said, like many on this list, I'm not entirely buying into the idea of
worming myself.  Yet, I know that my horses all carried worm loads of
varying
amounts and that they were healthier if the load was kept down to a
reasonable level.  I'm trying to prevent the recurrance of breast cancer,
and am willing to look at a variety of ways to help my body's immune system
become stronger.  Worming?  Well, not yet!

That said,

Here's a link to an article that talks about toxoplasmosis -- an
opportunistic microorganism-- that may be very common, especially in
individuals with weakened immune systems.  The toxoplasmosis parasite was
found in the body of one
of our list members who died of her cancer, so we became curious to learn
more.  After reading about it, I began to use gloves and a mask when
handling cat litter.  My poor body needs all the help it can get.
