I do respect you and your not only opinion as it sounds like research and much of it. I have no interest in these drug makers or vets interest as well so your point is well taken. I will admit my experiences are with reptile study only and not under the micrascope as you have...but I have really thought of getting one to satisfy my need to learn more. I did a lot of research on parasites, what includes anthing from a virus to a wasp and they all are classified as a parasite based on their actions. I can see the nutritional break down you are refering to, as this happens with even humans and bacteria so this information makes sense.
My biggest complaint to importers was not to give tap water as this destroyed good bacteria. I have never had a problem with panacur, and even seperated groups of imports, no panacur and three weeks of it. My results where in favor of the use, yet with only one species. Also one thing that makes me feel these larger intestinal parasites are not used by at least many of the species is the better quality of specemens captive bred. I do think you are on something though and would love to hear an ear full one day if you have time. Maybe this use is why some species do die and I really am open to new thinking on this subject.
