A Real Breakthrough; New Formula,

What people say makes us excited::

Yes, I DID receive your new formula. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I took some time off and went away for a long weekend. I am VERY impressed with the sample you sent.

I have used it about six times now, and I have really experienced great relief...more than any other product that I have tried so far! So, I am very happy to pass that news along to you. And, I am also very happy to have found a product that works.

It seems to work almost immediately. The smell as well as the color is much more pleasant than your last formula, too. Congratulations on a very fine product!! You must be very excited to share this with people.

Sincerely,

Mary Selfridge

Cryptosporidium parvum

(cryptosporidosis)

Members of the genus Cryptosporidium are parasites of the intestinal tracts of fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammals.  It seems that members of this genus do not display a high degree of host specificity, so the number of species in this genus remains a matter of some discussion.  Cryptosporidium isolated from humans is now referred to as C. parvum. Cryptosporidium infections have been reported from a variety of wild and domesticated animals, and in the last six or seven years literally hundreds of human infections have been reported, including epidemics in several major urban areas in the United States. Cryptosporidiosis is now recognized as an important opportunisitic infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts.

Cryptosporidium is a small parasite, measuring about 3-5 µm.  It lives on (or just under) the surface of the cells lining the small intestine, reproduces asexually, and oocysts are passed in the feces (view diagram of the life cycle).  Transmission of the infection occurs via the oocysts.  Many human infections have been traced to the contamination of drinking water with oocysts from agricultural "run-off" (i.e., drainage from pastures), so it is considered a zoonosis.

In most patients infected with cryptosporidiosis the infection causes a short term, mild diarrhea.  Since such symptoms are associated with a number of ailments, infected individuals may not seek medical treatment, and the infection may subside on its own.  Thus, it is difficult to say how many people are infected.  On the other hand, in persons with compromised immune systems, this parasite can cause a pronounced, chronic diarrhea; in severe cases the infected individual may produce up to 15 liters/day of stools, and this may go on for weeks or months.  Needless to say, such an infection, if not fatal unto itself, can exacerbate other opportunitistic infections common in immunocompromised hosts.
