Sol,
I agree with you wholeheartedly about this, and I am thus keenly
interested in probiotics as a means of sustaining health over the long
term. I can recommend two great books: Earth Saving Revolution Vols.
1 and 2, by Terao Higa, PhD. Both focus on microorganisms and their
applications in agriculture, health, and industry. The English
translations are superb.
There is a Yahoo list devoted to the use of home-brew probiotics for
human health. It is worth reading. The moderator is Vinny Pinto:
Google his name and you will find his sites.

We all have parasites all the time. Some you can get rid of
permanently, some only temporarily. But others like the mites that
live in the follicles of your eyelashes are impossible to eradicate.
However gross, I think we have forgotten that until just the last
couple of hundred years at the most, humans lived infested from birth
to death. These parasites evolved right along with us after all, and
they are very good at surviving.
In addition many parasites (even some intestinal worms) provide
benefits, such as reduced allergies. There are some "out there"
scientists and physicians who think a lot of the current epidemic of
allergies is due to the fact humans in developed countries don't have
tapeworms anymore. We live surrounded by a world of bacteria, viruses,
fungi, plus all the multicelled parasites. And I am certainly not
willing to give up the joy and wonder of living with household pets
because they might give me worms, of course, I luckily live where
household pets almost never have fleas, don't get heartworm, seldom
get tapeworms, etc because of the very long, very cold winters. It is
one of the consolations. LOL.
While I'm not ready to drink a glass of tapeworm eggs, or tolerate
head lice or body lice, I am really trying to not be so upset by the
fact I'm part of the web of life, not separate from it. I'm not there
yet, but I'm trying to chill out about those eyelash > mites.............

To me, nothing is grosser than the thought of having parasites! A
roundworm 1/2 out of my puppy sent me to the couch standing and
screaming while my husband took care of it. I did manage to pick up
a squirming tapeworm segment my puppy left on the dining room floor,
and took her to the vet for a worming the next day. Sooo, I'm
thinking of trying a parasite cleanse I saw online.
http://onelifeusa.com/health_news/CleanseKit.htm Does that work?
Am I right in thinking that colloidal silver will kill parasite eggs
but not adults? How much would I have to take to do that? If I see
nasty creatures that came out of me, I'll be writing from the mental
institution next time!
