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

Scope of the Parasitic Problems

Louis Parrish, M.D. a New York City physician who specializes in parasites, wrote in 1991, "based upon my experience, I estimate in the New York metropolitan area that 25 % percent of the population is infected . . . . . . . . Projections for the year 2025 suggest that more than half of the 8.3 billion people on Earth will then be infected with parasitic diseases."

"We have a tremendous parasite problem right here in the United States - it’s just not being identified." - Peter Weina, Ph.D., Chief of Pathobiology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, 1991.

"I strongly believe that every patient with disorders of immune function, including multiple allergies (especially food allergy), and patients with unexplained fatigue or with chronic bowel symptoms should be evaluated for the presence of intestinal parasites." - Leo Galland, M.D. Townsend Letter for Doctors, 1988.

"Make no mistake about it, worms are the most toxic agents in the human body. They are one of the primary underlying causes of disease and are the most basic cause of a compromised immune system." - Hazel Parcells, D.C., N.D., Ph.D.

..."In South Asia alone three million people die each year from infections and parasitic diseases many of which are curable with cheap medicines. .....Philip J. Jennings General Secretary Union Network International.

..."You've tried everything under the sun and still not feeling as you would like? Did your doctor tell you, " I don't know what you have" or " Are you sure it's not just stress related?". Just stress related! There are many different types of stress related illnesses like Environmental Stress for one, which can be from pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, inhalants like carbon monoxide, parasites, molds, fungus, pollen, etc." -- Lisa M.

Parasite testing methods in this country

Recently I read this article about an interesting company called Diasys. The article said that Diasys has signed a lucrative agreement with a Leading Distributor in Mexico in regards to their Parasite Testing Workstation. I decided to call Diasys to get more information for our web site visitors in case their parasite testing units are more comprehensive.

The sales manager at Diasys told me that they have sold a lot of Parasite Testing units in Europe, Canada, Asia, and South America, however, they have sold none in USA.

When I ask him why, he said that the general parasite test results in US is 95 percent negative since the general test is for only two types and only two types of parasites.

Unfortunately, I believe, if we did change our testing method and include testing for more than just two types of parasites, 95 percent of those who get tested would be discovered positive. Of course, this does not mean that 95 percent of population is parasite positive; only those who get tested.

How many different types of parasites are out there? Here is the answer: Alphabetical List of Parasites

The problem is how to answer these huge group of positives? If they are cured after their first diagnosis, and we do not resolve the primary sources of parasites that originally infected them, they will test positive again and again and again. They will be at their Doctor office with the same symptoms that was once cured and looking for the same cure. Most probably some people will complain to their congressmen and it might lead to Government Regulations.

If we get serious about our parasite problems, first we have to change our parasite testing procedure and then the way we regulate restaurants, food industry, even more important is the sushi industry, meat industry, the way we regulate our water systems, immigration testing, public swimming pools,..... This could cost government in the range of Billions. If you ask me, this will never happen. I hope this explains why you are only tested for two types of parasites and only two types. I, however, don't believe you have to wait for Government regulations.

If you have tested negative, but you feel there might be something there, it's not a bad idea to get tested again. This time ask your Doctor to use Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory. Their test is more comprehensive. You can not contact Smokies directly; your Doctor can and he/she will receive a test kit from Smokies and will send them back your complete test kit. Now, if you are reading this and you feel a bit of soreness on my part, you are correct. I was one of those initial negative kind. Prevention as we will discuss below is still your best bet against future infections. To lighten the air, scientists say more than 40,000 parasites and 250 types of bacteria are exchanged during a typical French kiss.

Ecological destruction fuels emerging diseases

The destruction of habitat by human activity and the extinction of species around the world is more than a looming environmental catastrophe, warns a Canadian zoologist. This ecological damage also endangers human health by turning parasites into "evolutionary land mines."

Dr. Daniel (Dan) Brooks, a parasitologist at the University of Toronto, says the decline of global biodiversity is linked to the emergence of new human and wildlife diseases such as West Nile Virus and avian flu.

"The biodiversity crisis is not just about extinctions," says Dr. Brooks, whose pioneering parasite systematics research is supported by Science and Engineering Research Canada (NSERC). "In the past, when there have been episodes of major climate change or mass extinction, and species have moved out of their areas of origin into other areas, there have been emerging diseases. Parasites have moved into new areas and they've jumped ship into new hosts."

He will present his latest findings on February 21 as part of a panel discussion on environmental systematics at the 2005 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington D.C.

Dr. Brooks has spent much of the past decade slogging through the dense jungles of Costa Rica tracking down and collecting parasites. Since 1996, he has coordinated the parasite Taxonomic Working Group for the All-Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI), an international scientific and economic initiative to help developing countries preserve the world's biodiversity.

In the Guanacaste Conservation Area of northwest Costa Rica, a 1,000 square km (400 square mile) United Nations World Heritage Site that features habitats ranging from rain forests to savannas, the ATBI is documenting an estimated 250,000 species of plants and animals, including everything from viruses to jaguars.

For his part, Dr. Brooks has looked for parasites in more than 4,000 individuals from species ranging from frogs to deer. So far, he has found more than 5,000 different types of these often microscopic hangers-on and created one of the world's most comprehensive inventories of parasites. And, notably, more than two-thirds of these parasites are new to science.

But Dr. Brooks argues that the real work has only just begun. The researchers still have a very poor to non-existent understanding of the roles these thousands of parasites play in different diseases, something that will require a detailed understanding of their often complex multi-host life cycles.

"It's very difficult to link these things up," he says. "It's very time consuming to do that, but without that information we don't know how these parasites are transmitted."

And without basic systematics and taxonomic information about parasites, Dr. Brooks points out that we lack the ability to predict and thus prevent emerging parasitic diseases.

"Right now, we're just reacting out of ignorance whenever an unfamiliar disease catches us off guard and we call that management," says Dr. Brooks. "We're always behind the curve, because we don't know where these things are coming from."

In fact, while parasites like malaria are well known, we may have identified only a fraction of the total number of the world's parasites, and the prospect of cataloguing them poses a daunting technical challenge. Since the physical characteristics of many parasites are very similar, Dr. Brooks and his colleagues are using the latest molecular taxonomy tools to classify parasites based on genetic characteristics.

"These things are evolutionary accidents waiting to happen," he warns. "This is not something brand new – it's something old. But in this case it's something that human beings are stimulating. These little evolutionary land mines are going to jump up and bite us."
