Absolutely it is about changing the environment to make our body unhospitable to parasites and pathogens. The trouble is that whilst we can control to a certain extent what we eat, there are also a lot of factors out of our control that affect us all the time.
Air and water pollution, lack of nutrients in the fruit and vegetables (unless you are privileged to have a large garden and can grow your own, but even then you cannot control what is in the rain that is falling on them), chemical exposure within our homes, in our clothes, within the very heart of everything we breathe or consume. We cannot escape it all.
I was reading Hulda Clarks' 'Cure for all Diseases' where she states that Methanol (Wood alcohol; polyethanol; Aspartame; etc.) can actually attract flukes to the pancreas. She pointed out that even some diabetic medications contain it. I went off and checked and sure enough there it is in my Metformin. So the very thing that is supposed to help my diabetes may actually be keeping it going!!! Duh.
Unfortunately I am not yet in a position to be able to give up the Metformin so will just have to plug away with the herbs for the meantime.
Humaworm's site says that the diet does not need to be changed. I would beg to differ - I am sure that removing the beasties sources of food must make the process more successful in the long run.
What I personally feel is the more important area to concentrate on along with a better diet is to boost the immune system and gut environment. Hippocrates said 'all disease begins in the gut'. Even right back then he recognised that the gut is the starting point and once it is breached we are open to invasion.
The indiscriminate dishing out of antibiotics has, I believe, had a far more reaching effect than even the Medical Profession realises. They now (finally, only 80 years after Fleming created Penicillin) understand the peril of drug resistance and have cut back on who they give them to and what they give them for, but I am sure that antibiotics have played a major part in the breakdown of our resistance to many pathogens. There are few in our Western Hemisphere or the World in general who have not been exposed to them at some point.
Because they destroy most bacteria, both bad and good, they then leave the gut open to attack. Kill the soldiers and the city is undefended. There are some pathogens that remain untouched like Candida and with the gut swept clean it now has the opportunity to take over. In small amounts it is pretty benign and may even be beneficial - in large amounts it is lethal. Parasites often have ways of controlling our food choices, creating cravings for food that they all feed off. Parasitic waste can also encourage fungus like Candida so it is a vicious cycle - they benefit from each other, but we benefit from neither.
So rebuilding our gut has to be of the utmost priority. If we eat good, healthy and nutritious food and try to keep ourselves as free as possible from 'man-made' rubbish and chemicals the gut will start to heal and rebuild itself. Much of the gut flora is there for immune support.
I am considerably better since having been on the Specific Carb Diet which cuts out anything processed, grains, starches, dairy and sugar, but that alone has not been enough to get rid of the beasties which is why I am now slapping them with the herbs.
Possibly if you were born from extremely healthy parents who have never been exposed to modern chemicals and foods and drugs, and you have never had to be in contact with them either, then you may well have a body that is easily able to cast off pathogens, but for most of us that has never been an option.
