Be careful at the doctor's office!

I had become aware of the cast-worm-lookalke explanation, but then later saw the Discovery channel thing, and subsequently didn't know what to think with regards to parasites.

This brings to mind the song "welcome to my life". As a Crohn's patient I know exactly what you went through, only I go through it on a regular basis. I try and keep my complaining to a minimum and always have a smile on my face when in public, but what you went through is only a small portion of my world.

It's no fun, just be glad that you aren't in this boat

Parasites can be real enough. But those places trying to sell you what is basically the standard psyllium husks dressed up with clay to make casts of your colon aren't it. Those places all show the same photos, and they're all casts of your colon. Think about it .. they have customer testimony of people shatting out huge things on a DAILY basis. Things confirmed as no life form by the way, coincidentally enough, eh? Do you really think your guts could hold these gigantic life forms in you by apparently the dozens since you're squeezing them out every day without your ever knowing about it until you got the miracle product? The things in those picture are huge and people say they're pumping them out day after day.

They weren't in there until you started eating the clay. The clay is what puts them in there in the first place.

That doesn't mean you don't or can't have worms. The Paramil I got worked and helped me get some out. But that's different from the stuff claiming you really have all these tinkertoys and erector sets up your butt that only their pill is discovering and can get out. It's only their pill that is putting them in there in the first place.
