I read this book and cannot get these images out of my head. Hulda is fanatical at the very least. Everything is caused by parasites or toxins, picked up from food, pets, friends, dirt, air, teeth, you name it. Her "cures" are positively medieval. After reading my skin literally crawled. Its been years now and I cannot get this awful book out of my head. It's haunting like an Edgar Allen Poe story. Dont read or you will never feel normal again.
