Fear of Parasites and Raw Meat Discussed Head on in Raw Paleo Diet Forum
As part of the management team of rawpaleoforum.com I’m happy to see that our forum discusses head on and point blank without censorship the newbie fears about parasites. Lately there is some lively discussion and research postings about parasites. There is me who has tapeworms, there is Jasper of helminthic therapy who deliberately infected himself with hookworms, and there’s young technodude who is scared of parasites. And many others who never had any problems with parasites.
Techydude opened up a thread clearing up the parasite issue:

Fear is a very powerful thing. It’s the reason why we continue to eat shit for years. Amirite?
People are more fond to bacteria these days, even populating their system with them right? Which lessened our fear of E.Coli, etc personally. Our stomach acid, skin acidic PH, and mouth bacterial balance and ph are enough to control bacteria and take care of any harmful bacteria present and I trust in the immune system.
Now what people new to paleo are afraid of are parasites because they are organisms. What people don’t realize that bacteria too are organisms. Microorganisms, aka tiny organisms, but still organisms. As in bacteria are “monsters inside of us” too, but we accept them. Parasites too are organisms , and most people about a third of the U.S. even with their cooking methods have parasites. Parasites are normal. Our bodies evolved to live with parasites and bacteria – why be afraid when we lived with bacteria just fine as most people have come to realize?
However, just as too much bacteria or bad bacteria in our system is a problem, too many parasites, or bad parasites in our system can be a problem too. Does that mean we stop eating or breathing too avoid parasites? No. What we do is we have a backup plan for when that happens, antibiotics foods, healthy eating, and as a last resort modern medicine and modern antibiotics. The same for parasites, if it becomes out of control or troubling, there’s natural remedies like spicy foods, black walnut oil, etc, and as a last resort, anti-parasitic pills which I plan on keeping in stock like Vermox orderable online for that last resort. As long as you’re prepared there’s nothing to worry about.
Evolution has made it so that we can live with bacteria and parasites and adapt to them in harmony.
and I chimed in with:
People are afraid of parasites because there is a total lack of public information just how easy and swiftly parasites can be taken cared of or how to live at peace with them.
I certainly hope the threads we post here which confront head on the issue without fear and with actual action contributes to the enlightenment of the public.
Of course we have parasites, we are at the very top of the food chain.
I think it’s you guys in the first world countries who are too scared of parasites.
and
Don’t forget the Paleo LIFESTYLE will keep parasites in check and not misbehave.
Do not eat chemicals.
Do not put chemicals on your skin.
Do not breath in chemicals.It is pollution from cooking, condiments and personal care products that make the parasites migrate to organs they are not supposed to go to.
POLLUTION AVOIDANCE
—
And just because you are into raw paleo diet, raw everything, you are going to mindlessly eat anything in sight.
There is discretion too.
Don’t binge on strange and dirty things even when wild.
Educate yourself with the locals what is edible raw.
Don’t eat poison mushrooms or poison frogs and don’t eat dung.
I don’t eat raw pork as I recognize the wisdom of our ancestors that raw pork is dirty and they do have dangerous parasites.—
Cooking all your food to death to avoid parasites and desensitizing every food is an urban legend. This is how Hulda Clark went overboard and thus she died early, only in her 70s… aged rapidly.
The difference between myself on cooked food vs me on raw food is immense! I’d be crazy to go back to a cooked food diet. What, me give up this health, youth, strength, beauty, stamina, vigor?
I’m inviting you to join the raw paleo forum and read how intelligent men and women around the world are achieving health heights you never thought was possible.
