RE: apisto with intestinal worms

["David Colin Gorton" <colingorton@hotmail.com>]

I'd try food that is higher in vitamin the B complex as this is good for 
helping internal organ recovery - but don't overdo it.
I'd think just using a single dose is a little risky (though I'm not 
speaking from experience - just the theory). These b______s can be VERY 
persistant and I'd say it was better to be safe than sorry. ALL nematodes 
need an intermediary host, unfortunately the host depends on the variety of 
nematode:-(
Good luck
Colin
