Hi Will,

Yes the simple fact is that meticulously clean average Americans,

and I'm sure other deveoloped contry citizens of the world, are

finding benefit from parasite cleansing. This goes against the

dogma of the western medical community. People are left with making

the choice to follow blindly the conventional ways that leave side

effects, cure symptoms, and don't heal; or go further than that and

research, think, and make decisions for ourselves. It is in doing

this that Hulda comes in as a valuable resource.

Dr. 's premise is that all disease can be cured by cleaning the

body of toxins and killing the parasites which produce more toxins

if left alone. The parasites are opportunistic and thrive in an

unhealthy body environment. She goes on further to say that the

body heals itself if given the environment in which to function

properly. This is motivation for cleaning my body out and keeping

it that way with pure food, air, and water.

There's no way to know what you meant since you used vague labels

with no definition, but if that makes me in your eyes a fundie or

lacky so be it
