[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 988702, member: 18945"] Lucky, it's a case of 'if something is repeated often enough, it is accepted to be a truism". This is not my first go around with these claims, tho it is on this board. You see a lot more of it on hobby farm and back yard farm type boards, where only 1-3 animals per member are the norm, and Lawd help ya if you say anything to the contrary. I have read a couple of "experiments" in which breeders of various species have shown these alternatives--specifically large seeds such as pumpkin and squash seed, garlic and ACV showed to be somewhat efficient as a parasite repellant/preventative, but they were both performed under optimal conditions. Above average grass height, dry soil conditions, very clean premises, and a very small fecal count in the test animals to begin with. IOW, the "test" conditions were pre-loaded and biased to obtain the desired results. Under those conditions and parameters, giving nothing at all, as an anti-parasite treatment would have resulted in the exact same conclusion. If ya don't have a parasite problem to begin with, you can feed 'em peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and claim the same thing. But dang--it sure sounds good don't it? A relatively cheap, all natural, easy to administer, non toxic, non invasive, zero trace parasite preventative. Almost sounds too good to be true--kinda like some of the TV ads we see on late night TV on any number of miracle non-drugs. [/QUOTE]
