Selvidge Thu, 12 Aug 2010 14:43:34 +0000 http://waitingforthecure.com/I/?p=922#comment-970 My first reaction when I heard of this study was to feel the growing elation of Hope...Hope that this may be a possibility of relief for my loved one's suffering, my own suffering, and the suffering of others...that all this pain could have an end (other than the obvious), or that the misery could at least be scaled down perceptively to manageable levels. Livable levels. (Back to reality) Of course, I realize that this relief is contigent on positive results within the study, and that the consequences must outway the costs of treatment. THIS however, is my second reaction. A thumbs up result would be like walking out of a beautiful dream, and walking back in again. A cure! No two ways about it, Autoimmune Diseases ARE flat out human suffering; and, I am so tired of hurting and seeing others hurt in this way. I have tried the conventional means of help...so I want to gave a Huzzah!for scientists who are willing to look into unconventional means to eradicate this form human suffering. While I am at it, here is a Hurray! for Hope!

Is there any conclusive evidence that hookworms dampen down such allergies? i have an allergy to latex producing anaphalxis reaction and also have multiple pollen allergies, i was horrified when this was first suggested, but would love any further information available my Dr has recently suggested that i look into these studies.
