Dear friends, today I made a very interesting new discovery here: treatment of Crohn with the parasitic helminth worm Trichuris suis. Apparently the company Ovamed
http://www.ovamed.org
sell these worms as the product TSO as treatment. I am VERY interested in hearing everything anyone here at kickas knows about this, in particular if anyone has tried this or if you know if this actually works. I saw the tread "the helminthic gut" from some years ago here at kickas, so some of you here seem to know about it.
Thanks
Andreas

Don't know anything about it, but you might be better off posting that at the "#1 AS Support Group" forum of kickas, rather than the NSD forum. More people look at that one.

I read this a few years back and sounded interesting - it's a bit like we, the human race, only got polio as we got more sterile in our lifestyle and had less resistance to common bugs. The body may be "healthier" when it is populated with a variety of semi-parasitical animals...
From memory the helminth gut worms act a bit like a probiotic and are usually taken in a form where they cannot breed within us so will need perpetual replacement.
A bit radical, but if it works...

Yes, possibly it's better in the main forum, but I guess eating worm eggs is somewhat diet-related

I suppose the worm eggs would be okay, if I could eat them with salsa. : )
