The Australian celiac disease trial just released their data. It worked! Those with celiac disease were able to eat bread with much less intestinal damage than the placebo. And everyone elected to keep their hookworms. And they were only given 15 worms total, so that’s pretty amazing.

I can contest that I was on SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) which was originally meant for celiac disease for 7 years before trying hookworms. And one of the greatest pleasures of hookworms is the ability to eat sourdough bread. I’ve since cut it out, mostly because I’m still suffering from nutritional deficiencies from years of Crohn’s, and I figure white flour isn’t doing me any good. But there’s nothing like toast and tea for breakfast after years of deprivation.
Try some hookworms. It’s good for what ails ya.

I am interested in the above treatment and am wondering who to contact in Adelaide.
I don’t have a sure contact, but the celiac trial was conducted at Princess Alexandra Hospital by Dr John Croese. Here’s the clinical trial information for the completed celiac trial. There is a list of participating study directors here:

Let us know if you find any information, or learn that the larger trial is recruiting. I imagine it isn’t yet, or there would be a clinical trial listed, but the news piece made it sound like a larger scale trial was pending.
This is amazing stuff.
I have been diagnosed with coeliac disease about 3 years ago. I am interested in joining a hook worm trail in Brisbane starting in August 2010. I am in India working at the moment. Is here any trails in Brisbane you could put me onto?
Regards,
John
