As a biologist, I'd say no. This seems to be an argument used for and against a number of lifestyle choices. It's a simplistic and reductionist argument that often doesn't make sense. I've often heard the argument that humans haven't drank milk until recently, and thus, you shouldn't. However, many humans continue to produce lactase throughout their lives, and for them, milk has represented an excellent source of nutrition. Humans have been struggling with lice for ages. However, it's very unlikely that ridding ourselves of them we have lost more than we have gained. I'd say that the same goes for large intestinal parasites.
