actually I think the studies were done with pig whipworms and not hooks, humans are dead end hosts for whipworms. it might be hooks, I have the studies bookmarked on my other pc which died. whichever it was they used the pig versions as they will die within the human body but do their job before dying.

Look at all these links::

I am getting links for both types, google crohns pig whipworms. it gives both types as being studied, but regardless...lol no worms for me

I studied waste water recycling at Santa Rosa JC...ha ha it is hysterical what you find.
The worst is all the supplements, vitamins & stuff folks eat & never digest.

DH reply was "let's hear it for the "muffin monster". He has come home telling me many stories of what he has found in the "muffin moster".....Ick.

I can totally relate. I spent 13 years maintaining Water, Waste Water and traffic light systems for Chehalis. Pretty amazing the things that get flushed.

You also ?????????

Yup. When I was 6 yo, I got chicken pox, but never recovered. Then, several specialists later, they said I had "Psoriasis". Now they know it's auto immune. Have had every treatment there is, but when it went to the bones had to go see a rheumatologist. He was the one put me on Methotrexate, and WOW, did it help.

He was a doc in California. I swear, the docs up here aren't nearly as good as this guy was. They keep wanting me to try drugs I already have tried that don't work. One doc even told me that as a doctor, he had years of training which I didn't have. So my answer was; " I have had this disease longer than you have been alive, and your few years "specializing in Dermatology" does not qualify you to treat MY disease, which I know intimately" Then I left and got a GP who is wonderful. He actually listens.

So, now to go back and see if my insurance will cover the biologics again.

oh man I HEAR you there!! I have not had a GP for a long time, so went to one I had seen once a couple years ago as I need secondary follow up with a GP, she proceeds to tell me that crohns is not a painful disease so I do not need pain meds or management. then she asks how long I will be on humira, I said rest of my life it it works, she says oh no you can not take that for very long its an immuno supressant and you can only have a couple shots.. (humira is a life long drug if it works) then she notes I also take sulfasalazine and says, she would never prescribe that as it is a dangerous drug and I should not be on it longer than a week... I will not go back, everything she said proved she was incompetent. everything I take is standard treatment to gain remission., and for her to tell me it was not a painful disease...boy I about smacked her and told her nope, that didnt hurt either did it...
love your reply to yours!! haahaa!!

Thank You, still steamed... I just found her little stash of eggs in the hay. the live trap is still set and there is nothing in it. I will take that out today, I did let the rest back out into the outdoor run, they have been sleeping on the floor of the coop, wary of things from above I guess. they are very watchful at the moment.
Today its war on the rats, I went in the coop last night and got ran over by one. time to bait every tunnel and hole I find. I want to get a rat zapper to. locked the cat in there once and he just sat and cried all night..the big baby.
Quincy needs some pics posted soon. would love to see how he progress's

I wonder if raising a cat along with chickens from a baby would make a good rodent hunter.....
You know like they do with the dogs and sheep herds.... make the kitten part of the chicken flock....
I have war on rats too... just moved the coop/feed area and destroyed all the tunnels under it.

Here is a picture of one of my outside cats, of which I have 4, they are the best RAT, MOUSE,GOPHER and Wild Bird hunters I have EVER had!! They move among my chickens and ducks, and have since they were kittens, even the chicks and the ducklings! Now, I do watch them when the ducklings are born, but, the duck hens do a very good job of protecting them. I have had the cats as long as I've had chicks and ducklings, and no problems!! I don't have rats, or mice in my feed storage, my garage or my house!! So, in my experience, it has been positive!!

I just read this and am so sorry - this is a nightmare to read and has to be so upsetting. I'm stunned the clamps weren't seen in the MRIs - they're metal, right? So in theory not only should they have shown up, I believe they could have been pulled out by the magnetic force of the MRI. I hate to say this, but I think you may need to find a good attorney...

I work in construction and we put in sewer lines, tying into live sewers...pretty gross subject!! haahaaa!!!

Oh, I am fearful of the stories. The DH is always telling me scary things. LOL. putting in pipes....that has to be just as scary at times.

I think the scarriest for me was pulling rags from the pumps. See ya had to CAREFULLY reach up there blindly and pull out what ever was plugging the pump. That was usually rags towels and the like. The scarrey part was the fact that people also flush needles and razor blades.

separate her in a cage.....
and try mustard eggs or solid marble eggs to teach her not to eat them....

I find when a egg eater shows up it is due to low protein......
I will pull the eater and feed higher protein feed with a marble egg in the cage and they stop.
I have not had a egg eater in awhile now since I watch for "starving marvins" even when I feed them a lot if they act like they are starving all the time I bump the protein and they settle down.

add suit blocks.... peanut butter blocks... even add grease from cooking to high protein seeds like sunflowers helps...
