This is the
day
We keep worms away
Today we all got a dose of worm medicine.
1. The box is for Cody
2. The little white box (picture of dog but for small dogs or cats) is for Cat
3. The bottle is for me
Here is a subject of denial by most humans. Oh, perhaps they admit to their pet having parasites but do they have worms???? No... never. HaHa Even if you've never been near a cat or dog in your life, you need to be dewormed. Do you ever touch a door knob in a public place? Do you ever push a cart around in a store? Do you ever go barefoot in the grass? Do you ever kiss or have sex?
Are you ever sick, have a cold, or flu? Trust me bloggie friends, this is not being said in any braggadocio manner but I have not had a cold/flu in so many years, I can't remember..... 25--40 years. Honest. The number doesn't matter but if you don't deworm yourself, think of the toxins floating around within your body. Die-off and everything poops. Yuck. The only illness I've had was my tailbone was out of whack but quickly adjusted back in place by my health provider.
We deworm at least every 6 months, sometimes more often. I've never been to an allopathic doctor in my life. You visit them when you want drugs and I don't. My snacks are foods that parasites don't like, for instance, pumpkin seeds and figs. Also cook with a lot of garlic.
Bottom line, if you haven't been working on getting rid of parasites, you got em.
Something I just learned a while back
ReplyDeleteAnd now de-worming at my shack
Still screwed up though
But you never know
The cats I haven't done though
As one has issues up the ying yang at my show
God knows how she'll react
The other is just one big issue at my rhyming mat haha
Although I never try and touch the doorknob or cart
Nasty germs I avoid at places like wal-mart
Pat,
DeleteI'm happy for you at your mat
Just tell those worms to take a scat
We don't want em we don't like
Tell them all to take a hike
And the cats will feel much better
If you worm them to the letter
Break a capsule and you sprinkle
On wet food without a wrinkle
They'll be happy coat will shine
They will thank you every time.
I don't have animals... but I do have worms. When I was a kid the Drs had my Mom give us castor oil. I still use it, but can't stand the taste.
DeleteOh I wanted to say... most people that think they just have acid reflux.... COULD BE WORMS.... ask me,,,,, I know all about being diagnosed with acid reflux and it turned out WORMS!!!
DeleteAny good one for the cats?
Deleteor just visit the vet mats?
I can pin them down and shove it
They no longer get wet food at my bin
As one won't eat it no matter the can in comes in
And the others allergies act up no matter the type
Surely don't want that gripe
On the humaworm stuff for me
Still no worms or anything different I see
Who knew? (Apparently... YOU!)
ReplyDeleteWow, can't say that I've ever been de-wormed, but now I'm gonna have to give it some thought. Thanks. (I think... YUK!)
Susan
DeleteI know I'm out of touch but I've always lived the way I was brought up. But it works.
That used to be a standard practice a hundred years ago. Spring tonic and all.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the world do you find people wormer? Does it target specific worms or all worms?
Gail,
DeleteI've never changed. Always have lived the old fashion way. Never ate in restaurants. My husband loved to but I would eat before (at home) and then push a salad around on my plate to be polite, because we always went out with his relatives and they thought I was weird enough. Ha
You can find human wormer at any health food store or on line BUT make sure it has the 3 main ingredients.... wormwood, cloves and green black walnut. Sometimes they let the black walnut ripen.... no good. Make sure it's green. Pretty much targets all of them but then de-worm a 2nd time in 2 or 3 weeks to catch the new batch of eggs.
Gail,
DeleteI used to get wormed regular as a kid. They used castor oil in my neck of the woods
ewwww... but then, "ewwww things" must be addressed. At least for my Lucy dog.
ReplyDeleteturquoisemoon
DeleteYes, if you have a pet, those yucky things are necessary. My problem has always been how to de-worm the feral cats that I feed at the ranch.
Having had pets all my life, I too am aware of diligence against worms. For myself I too eat pumpkin seeds and season heavily with garlic. Loves me garlic, though not sure my friends do. Thank goodness for those Altoids "curiously strong" peppermints.
ReplyDeleteMighty gets his when he gets his teeth cleaned twice a year.
Patti,
DeleteSome how, I thought you'd know the importance of de-worming. I too, have always tried to keep my critters free of worms but it's constant because they will eat anything. Especially Cody. But ha ha, that also means she takes the pills easily. She doesn't even care if something tastes bad, like the pills. "Oh food," gulp in one mouthful. Dogs never chew, do they?
You are such a good doggie mother.
Another subject I need to learn more about for Molly the Cat as well as for us human crew members. While serving in the Army, the Daddy got so sick, he was admitted into the hospital. He said the doctors pulled a very loooooong tapeworm from inside him.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Su-sieee.... I have been getting emails from people telling me they found tape worm eggs in their eyes, nose and mouth. They are not just over seas... they are here in the good old USA
DeleteSusiee
DeleteWhen you worm one person or critter in a family it's good to worm everyone. I've seen really long tape worms (like 27 feet) on YT. I heard some pretty gruesome stories about them too. I bet your Dad was happy to be rid of that burden.
Karen,
ReplyDeleteTruly. Would I lie to you?
I deworm every 3 months. As soon as I know have lowered the worm population, I will go to every 6 months.
ReplyDeleteManzi, Is the Now product you are using for yourself working?. The Humaworm worked great for awhile but I think my body is to used to it now and I need to find something else with different herbs.
Neem is suppose to work but only the fresh leaves.... where the heck do I find fresh neem leaves anyway.
I guess that is why Cody was sick... worms!! Dang those buggers are everywhere.
Terry,
DeleteNo not worms with Cody. Do you remember when she punctured her throat with a bush branch when she was diving for a frizbee? That was acting up again. I'm getting some herbs from Mary Jo for it. She has dealt with critters before.
I read in one of the old books that I have that the black walnut has to picked green.(duh, too many colors) No good if it is picked after maturity. I found this bottle from NOW that says "fresh green black walnut." The comments on Amazon were fabulous. That is what I am using but I never seem to see any worms anyway. Neither does Cody. That is strange for a dog, don't you think? I often put a little diatomaceous earth on the critters food and that prob keeps the worms away.
Is that diatomaceous earth something I should try too?
DeleteOnce a day at my zoo
Heard people drink it every day
To keep the worms and aches away
Pat
DeleteOne thing matters more than fame
I'd ask the sky to send us rain
I can't connect with you this way
I'll send to you a bird of prey.
Wait. What!!??
ReplyDeleteIf I have worms, ewwwwwwwwwwww.
On the bright side, can I use them to go fishing?
Al,
DeleteWhy not? May bring in a couple of sunnies.
Goodness me, I've never heard of humans worming themselves before, but, you're right, we touch so many things containing germs, but I just thought it would be okay to wipe our hands with bacterial fluid. I do remember having Caster Oil when I was a little girl though! You do seem very wise about health issues, and you are certainly such a good example, having never been to see a Doctor!
ReplyDeletethisisme,
DeleteThis is probably only done in rural parts of the country where I live.
Hope you and your family have a great weekend.
You're quite right, of course. But I've never de-wormed myself. Think I should work on that...
ReplyDeleteWendy
DeleteThanks for stopping and leaving a comment. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
I take so many vitamins. I never even thought of worms. Egads.
ReplyDeleteRobin
DeleteVitamins are good. Forget the worms. It's just a word. Only rural people do this.
Have a great Florida weekend.
Good advice Manzanita...you are a living testament to your actions!
ReplyDeleteChuck,
DeleteThanks for stopping
You must have done your black/white weekend. I've been so busy, I haven't stopped by your flog yet. I will.
Hey Manzanita,
ReplyDeleteYou bring up some most informative points and I know you're right. You are living testimony to it. I got a bit confused when they got to the um bottom of things with me at the hospital. It turned out to not have anything to do with worms. Excellent advice and may you enjoy your Sunday, my dear friend.
Gary
gary,
DeleteAs I sit by the window writing this, I notice snow flakes swirling around in the wind, looking for a place to land. It looks like it is snowing up high in the mountains and I do hope so. We desperately need moisture.
I hope you are well and enjoying your weekend with the adorable star, Penny, champion author.
Take care.
We used to deworm on a regular basis, twice a year, when the kids were little and in the first few grades at school because threadworms were a problem. When they got older and washed their hands more no one get them. I still wash my hands a lot but haven't thought of worms in years. I use garlic in most of my cooking and take vitamins too, so I think I'm okay.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
ReplyDeleteGarlic is good for so many health issues and it flavors so many dishes. It seems to be used widely in European countries.
That I didn't need to know, yuck
ReplyDeleteJohn,
DeleteMost sophisticated people are with you. I'm in the simple group.
So if I have parasitic worms, how come I still can't lose weight?
ReplyDeleteI am in such a minority. Don't listen to me. It seems really difficult to lose weight. I can't lose weight either and when I was young, I'd skip one meal and lose.
DeleteI've carried the LA habit of cooking with a lot of garlic with me. Love how it flavors food. I can't remember the last time I thought about worms, but think I'm okay. And, I scrolled down to your previous post. We also watch DWTS, more, like you, for the scores than the actual dancing. Once in a while there's a surprise performance, though.
ReplyDeleteKittie,
DeleteDWTS is on tonight. Sometimes I forget because I don't watch much TV. Yum garlic in those great cajun dishes. I bet I'd love your cooking.
Love and peace
Noooo! Since reading this I can feel something crawling round inside of me! I've never been dewormed but I do the cats regularly. No! Can't even think about it any more.
ReplyDeleteRos,
DeleteAs I said to someone else, I'm in such a minority so don't listen to me. If you worm the cats you are most likely fine. My cat doesn't go out so she is usually fine.... it's the dog who eats ANYTHING when she's out. I don't think allopathic medicine ever recommends cleansing the inner body. They couldn't charge much for that.
Oh gosh reading this gave me the heebie jeebies!! I need to get de-wormed!!
ReplyDeleteKeith,
DeleteYou are most likely kidding but if you aren't and you ask an allopathic doctor, they will tell you I am a crazy old woman. I grew up with grandparents in a big old house with aunts and uncles and we all cleansed with herbs. No one was ever sick. They lived until close to 100 and they just knew when it was "their time." Today with the GMO's and chemicals we breath, it's difficult to survive. I'll never live as long as my ancestors, even though I live with the "OLD TIMEY" ways.
Dear Manzanita, the idea that humans need to be dewormed is absolutely a new one for me. I do remember, however, my mom examining me for worms when I was about 8. I think she thought I might have a tapeworm. Is that the type of worm you are writing here????? You always tell me such interesting things! Peace.
ReplyDeleteDee,
DeleteYour mother was probably looking for pin worms or hook worms. Kids get those from playing in the sand or dirt, or from their pets. Mothers examine kids at night with a flashlight because the worms come out at night and lay their eggs.
A tape worm can get very long (some up to 27 feet)and are very smart about hiding in the body.
But most adults just have the very small parasites that can't be seen. But I also cleanse each of my organs separately.
I started out as a nurse and it didn't take me long to realize that allopathic medicine couldn't possibly cure, so all my life I've stayed with the old folk medicine. In China the hospitals have 2 sections, the one that does the herbs and acupuncture, etc,for curing and the other section with allopathic for acute things. Such a good idea.
Wow! I've never heard of this before. Thanks for the tip!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
