Parasite Delimma


Parasites that can cause trouble in humans can be one of hundred to thousands of types of bacteria, protozoa, round worms, flat worms, viruses, fungi such as yeast and molds, and amoebas. Some of these are very small and cannot be caught with filters. Other parasites survive drying as very small and extremely numerous eggs live through the drying process. Some sewage plants render human waste harmless by the use of special bacteria. I heard a story once of a tour guide at a sewage plant proving its effectiveness by scooping up a glass of water just separated from digested human waste and drinking it. Possibly through the use of such a mini-sewage plant one could de-parasite the human waste enough so it could be safely used to feed worm beds, algae ponds, and hydroponics beds.

There are good parasites and bad parasites. The body in and of itself has lots of good parasites or intestinal flora, i.e. bacteria of many types, that is necessary for its survival. Some parasites used in the food growing process can overcome some bad parasites. It gets complex to understand and develop an ecosystem that can take care of any bad parasites that get into it. A semi-closed food loop that stays intact for 10-30 years and doesn’t mutate or get infected with an outside pathogen will take some understanding. We need to understand how to develop a balanced ecosystem and not let anything from outside contaminate it, overwhelm it, of throw it out of balance. We need to be able to determine the technology of how to toughen up the ecosystem so it can’t easily go out of balance. We need to be able to determine how to bring an out of balance ecosystem into balance.

I do know that we will not want to use heat to boil or cook everything we eat. This would include boiling fresh vegetables and killing the good enzymes. Plus, many will simply not have the continuing resources to cook everything. Wood will soon run out, till trees grow back. Unless one has an abundant electrical source, near water or continuing wind power, I doubt much cooking will be done. It might be wiser to manage the parasites from the start. I think it possible to eat hydroponically grown vegetables raw. It should also then be possible to drink blue-green algae or filter-strain it from the tank for direct consumption? Don’t want to cook it, losing all the nutritional value. Enzymes are lost at about 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit.

I do know that if we use human waste without an effective de-parasite treatment that sooner or later nearly everyone eating the food or in the vicinity, just being nearby affected by airborne types of disease, will be sick. Parasites in a feed back loop of body/waste/food/body/waste/food will multiply and cause a problem unless we break the chain every chance we get. If you will notice, there is no cooking in the manufacturing of super quality foods such as chlorella and blue-green algae. It has also been carefully tested for mutation, parasites and other things that could have grown into it in the process. If need be, fish can even be eaten raw if it is grown in a non-parasite environment. Some say eating meat is much healthier if eaten raw too.
