amoebas are very common everywhere only most people with strong immune systems can fight it without parasite cleanses. Children often contact them at an early age and quickly develop defences against, for example Montezuma revenge is cause by gut parasites that the south American locals are completely immune to but travelers often fall prey to, but even travelers get over the initial infection and develop some immunity if they aren't already malnourished.
Also amoebas are common in the west but are rarely diagnosed and may be responsible for many chronic illnesses in immune compromised individuals. My son when he was exclusively breastfed would pass these quarter inch black worms in the yellow breast milk waste , I was extremely concerned , but after a few days they disappeared and I only assume he was able to flush them out. My people come from hill country and the old folks said my granny had worms when she was 4 because she wasn't gaining weight, so they gave her the Castor oil treatment along with an herbal remedy. The old ways of parasite cleansing have been forgotten and modern medicine rarely diagnoses parasite infection even though the majority of people get some type of infection throughout there life. Perhaps paleo baby developed a strong immunity to these pest by drinking antibody rich paleo fed breast milk for the first 3 years as well as chewed up meat as the first food, Early exposure often builds the strongest immunity against these invaders.
My 2 year old eats a little red meat and marrow as well as oysters and drinks eggs AV style, she is beautiful and thriving, my 8 month old is eating pea sized chunks of meat and fat along with my homemade formula and she is a complete butterball(they are the hardyest healthyest children I know, no exaggeration)
My three year old boy was born pre paleo so by the time I offered him some Paleo fodder he was already grain adapted so its difficult to get him to eat raw, but he loves rare steak and overeasy eggs with cooked Bacon(cooked Weston price) he does like sushi and I do give him cod liver oil
I wish you could see my little one grin with delight everytime I give her a small taste of marrow, the key is to give them taste of animal foods before anything else and they will love it, If you wait to long and feed them fruit and vegges first then you will discourage their taste for other foods. My two year old started on raw egg at 6 months(my great grand mother did the same thing, Durring the great depression there were no vitamin enriched factory foods available so she mixed an egg in with raw milk and gave it to all her babies along with cod liver oil.
It is sometimes hard for some to accept what I am doing with the children's diet so I am forced to keep things down low, I hope I can be safe here, but where I live the little Kidd's around look so dumb and sickly and have to go on antibiotics all the time and have allergy's to everything, many have this dull unhealthy complexion, I tears me up so see 2 year old drinking soda pop and eatting candy. Then I look at how my children stand out from that crowd and it gives me the strength to carry on, I let them play in the sun and run along with the chickens and climb in the dog pin, and help me when I had goats, my dogs had worms and the chickens have amoebas and the goats had who knows and I let them run around the small farm and Like the old time farm folk I think exposure to these things builds up a strong immune system, as long as there are no imbalances, and you do hose them off from time to time. But I swear I see the germaphobs Kidd's that are washed in antibacterial agents and doused in sunscreen, just look so poorly when compared to the more robust outdoorsy living kids.
