Guest guest Posted September 3, 2000 Report Share Posted September 3, 2000 Sharon, You obviously don't understand the difference between parasitic intestinal worms and earthworms. They aren't comparable, other than our language uses the term worms for both. Earthworms are a good source of protein and will not reproduce inside our GI tract. Parasitic worms do, and poison us several ways once they do. If the subject of worms fascinates you, and I do have to wonder why, then please ask for answers. But, please also refrain from wasting list bandwidth making dumb comparisons that do not exist! As many of you may have noticed, I have lapsed in my effort to remain impartial on these worm posts. I apologize, but when it looks, smells & is shaped like bull shit, I just HAVE to say, BULLSHIT! " jim Sharon sey wrote: > > And here's the 'related article' referred to in the first one.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2000 Report Share Posted September 3, 2000 Jim, I have really tried to hold back on my reactions. I think you are wonderful. As for me, I will stick to using earthworms to bait my hook and catch a much tastier food. I believe the cultures where earthworms are used, it is because some creativity is needed to avoid starving. Those winters can be long. We tend to forget the times and places where survival was/is still the name of the game. SUPPOSEDLY it is needless to say that earthworms are not parasitic to humans, but actually aid our soil. SBO's are not my " cup of tea " as I brew my own Kombucha tea which is swimming in friendly flora. But the organisms which live symbiotically in our GI tract are completely different than parasites. A parasite is by definition harmful to the host. And those wishing to aid the body in overcoming bowel diseases need to look at their diet, drug use, etc (ie carrageenan is implicated in Cronn's disease and that hair regrowth hormone is also a culprit), and not fall prey to weird ideas from those people who have no grounding in fundamental holistic health. (See TEA BAGS OR THALIDOMIDE post.) Kris Smart is believing only half of what you hear, brilliant is knowing which half to believe. Atlantic1@...
