I quote:
"WormGuard Plus Series 4 attacks and pierces the worms
exoskeleton and dehydrates them to death."
I would think that anything that is capable of "attacking and piercing the
worm's exoskeleton" would also be capable of attacking and piercing
the cat's intestinal wall, leading to.... DEATH.
In addition, most intestinal worms DO NOT HAVE exoskeletons. Earth worms
have exoskeletons, most intestinal worms do NOT.
IE:
"Roundworms are triploblastic (Click link for more info and facts about
protostome) protostomes with a
complete (The system that makes food
absorbable into the body) digestive system. They
are thin and are round in cross section, though they are actually (Click link for more info and facts about
bilaterally symmetrical) bilaterally symmetrical. The body cavity is reduced to a narrow (Click link for more info and facts about
pseudocoelom) pseudocoelom. The
mouth is often surrounded by various flaps or projections used in feeding and
sensation. The portion of the body past the (Excretory opening at the end of the alimentary
canal) anus or (A waste pipe that carries away sewage or surface
water) cloaca is called the
"tail." The epidermis secretes a layered cuticle made of (A fibrous scleroprotein that occurs in
the outer layer of the skin and in horny tissues such as hair feathers nails and
hooves) keratin that protects
the body from drying out, from digestive juices, or from other harsh
environments, as well as in some forms sporting projections that aid in
locomotion. This cuticle is shed as the parasite grows.
Roundworms have a simple nervous system, with a main nerve cord running along the ventral side. Sensory structures at the anterior end are called amphids, while sensory structures at the posterior end are called phasmids." Furthermore, after doing a bit of snooping through the websites for this
product, I found PROOF that the owner of the site is guilty of DISHONESTY and
FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Read on....
On this webpage
it quotes a "satisfied customer" as saying:
"In the summer of 2000, I used Parastem and Worm-Out on my cat. I noticed what looked like blood splotches on our tile floor and thought my cat had cut his foot and was bleeding somewhat. Upon getting on my hands and knees to clean the floor I noticed these blood splotches "moving". What I realized was that these were worms coming out of my cat due to the Parastem. They had a clear almost saran looking skin around them that I could see through and see their insides which contained the blood they had been sucking from my cat. It was rather eerie, but I could clearly see for myself that our regiment to clean up our cat was working. Literally right before my eyes." Rose from the Feline Medicine Chest Then, on this webpage
it quotes the same "satisfied customer" as saying:

THIS exclusively proves that they are NOT using customer quotes, because in
one version of the "quote" it says she used it on a cat, and in the other, on a
dog.
Personally... I don't trust the life and health of MY pet's to LYING
BASTARDS just trying to make a few bucks.
Be your own judge though. I agree with the person who said it's "snake
oil".
It's just a bottled and labeled for pet's version of Diatomaceous Earth
anyways.
Is the only negative info I could find online off hand. Seems many people
have been feeding it to their animals (and even themselves) with no ill effects
for quite some time.
Here read all about it:
