Parasites in organs, particularly liver flukes, are a concern.

◐Partially SupportedOrgan meats are rich in essential nutrients that are difficult to obtain elsewhere.

◐Partially SupportedFresh organs are superior to freeze-dried organs in terms of nutritional value.

◐Partially SupportedParasites are rarely detected through GI Maps, with the speaker having seen only one amoeba (Entamoeba histolytica) and no worms in hundreds of tests.

◐Partially SupportedDesiccated organs undergo rigorous microbiology testing before encapsulation to ensure they are free from bacterial contamination.

◐Partially SupportedCooking liver thoroughly results in the loss of nutrients like riboflavin.

◐Partially SupportedAnti-parasitic medication can treat parasitic infections.

◐Partially SupportedIvermectin and nitrous oxide are potential treatments for parasitic infections.

◐Partially SupportedA smooth, red, and juicy liver with no scars is likely healthy and free of parasites.

◐Partially SupportedParasitic infections of the liver can leave scars, making the liver appear unhealthy.

◐Partially SupportedConsuming raw liver, heart, spleen, and testicle daily is practiced, with heart, spleen, and testicle believed to be less likely to harbor parasites than liver.
