My vet says that protozoa are “normal” in fecals, is this true?
A.) There are now many species of trophozoites of protozoa active in the fresh fecals. They never USED to be NORMAL, as I have been observing them for over twenty years and correllating both their numbers and species with symptomologies. NOW, because of the population statistics, they are considered “NORMAL”, however, so is lead poisoning The amount of lead in a “NORMAL” person’s body now would have been considered very toxic some 50 years ago! “NORMALS” are created and defined by population statistics any more, and have little to do with corellation of actual disease syndromes – which makes it really rough for good physicians and good veterinarians to treat people and animals with clinical symptoms, that are within the “NORMAL” category, because so many in the population suffer the same things! I hate that word “NORMAL” for this reason! Endemic protozoa of many types survive hostile environments by encapsulation into cysts for protection. When the conditions are right, they “hatch” in
