Another think I'd like to know is what will people will use to treat their animals when they do decide to take them to a vet and the vet finds some type of worm eggs?

DE cannot cut into worm oocysts nor cocci oocysts, chemical wormers have no effect on oocysts. Oocysts can survive in all types of harsh weather/temperature for years.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I assumed that doing dog rescue that you did have the resources to pay for fecals and veterinary care.

What? Lol I don't rescue dogs; I have a 2500 acre ranch with 300 head of cattle,100 sheep, 63 chickens, etc etc etc...2 lgds... I dint know who you are talking to...I don't have time for doing fecals on chickens for your amusement lol... How bout this; YOU do your OWN controlled experiments... Or maybe have an actual LAB do it.

Please do post something more official, 'cause all I saw there were links from from peoples personal websites.

I'm done. Misinformation just confuses people, and bull heading an "opinion" on people is not what I'm here for. I was just clarifying misinformation.

I don't need "luck" lol, but thank you. Same to you.

Well the whole POINT is prevention... So no need to eliminate what's not there lol; needing to spend resources on uneccesary fecals for instance; not needed when they aren't there... But yes, besides, they get this anyway; I grow it in the yard FOR that purpose, recommended by my VET. An ounce of prevention us worth a pound of cure.
