Disease = parasite

First, all patients with cancer as well as those with AIDS had parasites in the blood, some as many as a dozen different types of parasites. Second, the body has such a remarkable way of dealing with challenges that I am in total awe of what is often referred to as the body's intelligence. The body isn't just intelligent, it's ingenious!

Parasites and their hosts have a curious relationship. Basically, both the creatures and the infected person have to work out survival in a way that maximizes opportunity and life expectancy for both. This said, it is my opinion that sharing of meals with uninvited guests is not really a benign situation so whatever the textbooks say, they seem to be missing some important chapters.

This said, the behavior of the parasites and the body's responses to them vary enormously. I can make some broad statements based on darkfield observations. First, there are obviously some parasites that are so hated that when the blood is put onto a coverslip, the red blood cells run like wildfire to escape the parasite. Then, there are parasites that the white blood cells attack, usually by damaging the membrane in various places, usually far from the mouth and tail. There are also parasites that the red blood cells surround and immobilize, usually by lining up several cells deep. This often appears to be a suicide mission commanded by white blood cells that stay at a discrete distance from the invader.

The parasites come in every which size and color. Some are opaque, sort of whitish but translucent, some are red, some are more yellowish to almost gold, and a few are brilliant shades of blue, everything from dark blue to lapis lazuli. They also come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from a few microns to hundreds of microns. Some have appendages that seem to help them to navigate. Many are partnered, in which case the male is usually smaller and often differently shaped on the ends. Occasionally, one finds whole nests of intertwined creatures. Sometimes, one finds the parasites in the process of dining but commensural would not seem to describe what one sees on a slide. If the parasite is taking first dibs on its host's dinner, it would probably inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and perhaps forage elsewhere only after the pickings are slimmer in the GI tract. Many patients describe the bizarre sensations of mobile creatures. Others had more prickly sensations, like gnawing, biting, and even stabbing pains. A few had itchiness; many were anemic. Some were very ill.

As everyone probably knows, Hulda Clark has had an enormous impact on the world of parasitology, first, I believe, by positing that so many diseases are caused by parasites and secondly by the challenges her public has posed to the professional community. Speaking for myself, "all" triggered a lot of resistance in me so I was slow to accept her theses and was even less interested in her rather simple protocols using black walnut, wormwood, and cloves. This said, she is so popular, it's almost impossible to ignore her since hardly a day goes by when a patient doesn't bring forward her theories.

What intrigued me much more than Clark's work was the report on Artemisia annua that came out of the University of Washington in late November 2001. As every herbalist knows, this wormwood (not the same variety as used by Clark) is a famous malaria herb, used for thousands of years for treatment of malaria. It is an extremely safe herb that even relieves some of the anemia associated with parasitization of the blood.

Then, there was a documentary on the Discover Health channel some time back in which it was stated, by the London School of Tropical Medicine, that two-thirds of all people who ever lived on the Earth died of malaria.
