I've known a few people who had colon cancer. They had a colonoscopy done and the doctor found polyps that were cancerous. No trace of parasites. I find it hard to believe that they were diagnosed with cancer when parasites can be found with a basic check.
Also, not eating pork sounds a lot like Sharia law. If we start avoiding it for "health reasons", it makes the Muslim take over of our country that much easier. Any meat that is undercooked is dangerous, so just cook your meat and call it a day.

Biblical Law. Most, but not all, Christians simply don’t observe it. It is also sharia, but seems to be a thing the Muslims got right. They aren’t fully wrong on everything they think, just on several very important things that have some very bad outcomes. E.g. they also don’t charge interest to other Muslims. That’s probably a good thing, overall. The majority of Christianity used to not charge interest as well, which is also biblically commanded.

Noted. I don’t claim to KNOW the answer here, just stating a suspicion. Thanks for the info!
It was Jewish law, which is entirely different from Christianity. Not charging interest used to be something that Christians practiced, but that was before we understood how the capitalist system worked and the need for credit markets to fuel it. I'm sure if this was understood in biblical times, it would have been fine.
“Jewish Law” is the Talmud. I don’t advocate that. Christians didn’t charge interest because the “Old Testament” said not to charge interest. If they hadn’t stopped, we wouldn’t be here. Interest is not necessary to make capital markets work.
Meanwhile, the reason so much of Christianity has fallen so far off the rails, imho, is because we’ve renounced the “Old Testament” largely as “The Ten Commandments (of which we disregard even a few of those) and some nice stories about people remaining faithful to stuff we should ignore”.
I’m capable of going over these things all day, from both practical and scriptural stances, but not if your starting premise is, “you’re wrong”, there isn’t much point.
