Dear Ed,
For many years now there’s a lot of talk in the alternative medicine community about parasites. The general consensus is that toxins or poisons are the cause of unnatural growths like tumors, areas of decaying cells in the living body, like cancer. It’s understood that these toxins are either poisons – like certain metals – that our bodies cannot digest and process out at the rate at which we’re taking them in, and they are also the side-products of cell metabolism – just like making sugar from sugarcane juice makes molasses on the side, and crushed cane pulp – both of which have to be separately taken out of the factory, so that sugar production can continue.
