Where does Clark claim the fluke lives only in Southeast Asia?

She doesn't. She ignores the fact, since it would undermine her
claim.

I see that claim made only by the CDC, and without justification:

http://www.dpd.cdc.gov/dpdx/HTML/Fasciolopsiasis.htm

Without citation, but not without justification. That's where it
lives. If you think otherwise, go find a source. Good luck.

Not the CDC and, wonderfully, linked from one of Clark's own web
sites, so she knows that she is lying.


That's because [Clark's claims] are absurd.

What's absurd and bizarre is how long (12 years) after Warren and
Marshal's discovery it took NIH to admit that peptic-ulcers are due to
an infectious-disease:

Clumsy try at changing the subject. Won't work.

Personally, I don't know enough to judge Hulda Clark's opinion about
flukes;

But you feel quite justified in decrying the CDC web page.

The fact that you think you're right and various others are wrong
about MCS doesn't make Hulda Clark an authority about anything.
