Just what is it about examining things through somebody else’s eyes that presents such an incredible perspective? This and some other posts on your weblog here definitely give some food for thought. I actually ended up here via Bing when I was first doing a bit of online research for the course work that I’ve got. Glad that I stayed around to read a bit and most definitely I’ll not forget add your details to my bookmarks in order to read what you post down the road. Cheers!

I like wormtherapy in that they provide blood tests going back several years to show the host lacks HIV, AIDS, and that their samples aren’t infected with strongyloides. AIT has the most patients, over 200, so probably more experience, but they only have the one blood test from 2008, I believe. I could be wrong; hopefully they have more now. Wormtherapy uses Dr. Llamas who has some good additional info besides worms for various diseases. I’d call both parties and get a feel for them, then choose who makes you most comfortable. The DIY movement is just beginning, but it’s illegal to incubate in the US, and I would want blood tests going back a ways just to assure myself the hosts didn’t have any serious viruses, even if the chances of coinfection are low to none.

Thanks for you candor and commitment to promoting helmith access. I have severe allergies and celiac disease which have evolved over the last several years into debilitating, chronic sinusitis (and now early stage asthma). While I underwent “successful” sinus surgery last December, my sinusitis has returned with avengence since the onset of the spring and summer allergy seasons. I am ready for the hookworm therapy and willing to travel. Is Worm Therapy in Mexico still my most reliable option for accessing safe treatment in your opinion? I did visit the do it yourself blog you recommended and the information seems great if you are fortunate enough to already be a host. However, it seems that the movement is not far enough along for me to secure a reliable infection through these channels. Your thoughts? Hunter

3) Too much conflict.

I’m hoping to add more hookworms soon. I respond to pretty low doses – I’m thinking the frequency of infection is part of the immunomodulation, so the current plan is to try 15 and add every 5-6 months, or see how long I can go, redosing whenever things start to decline.

Since I’m already having magnesium issues, I’m a little hesitant to try larger numbers.

3) why can’t you get whipworm from AIT anymore?

20 hookworm is a pretty low #. I have 35 and I know some people, such as http://worms.michellerowley.com have 70. Why not try a higher number (closer to 50)

1) I’m pretty good at this diet, so I know I’m not getting any additional gluten sources. (Soy sauce isn’t allowed anyway)

3) I can’t get whipworms anymore from AIT, and I’ve heard from at least one Crohn’s patient whose nasal allergies came back after adding whipworms, only getting better after adding more hookworms again. I might add them in the future, or possibly TSO if I become rich.

I currently have 20 hookworms (assuming every one took).
I take magnesium glycinate, did magnesium shots and infusions, and do transdermal mag. To no avail.

1) Just make sure you pay attention to all ingredients – there are many hidden sources of gluten. Who would’ve thought that teriyaki sauce and soy sauce contain gluten?
3)Go with AIT’s recommendation on their best guess with the number of whipworm. It can’t really make it any worse.

How many hookworm do you currently have?
Do you take magnesium supplements?

HS:
1) Doing it. A few days in on grain free, sugar free diet. (SCD)
2)Wormfriends just had to close shop, so are no longer shipping worms. I’d want a longer record, blood tests, and more client testimonials before I’d consider them.
3) Don’t know how many to use, how often, and I don’t see a lot of data on other users yet. Wish I could afford TSO, ’cause I could just add that.
4) Vit D is 55, so I’m in a good range.

I think I just need more worms, and magnesium, somehow, and diet, more probiotics…maybe that will keep me in a better state.

Thanks for the advice!

Some advice:
1.I am on the gluten-free diet even though I don’t have Celiac and only have Crohn’s. It took 6 weeks on strict gluten-free diet to see a reduction of symptoms. It didn’t cure my Crohn’s but did reduce symptoms significantly. Try and eliminate ALL gluten – it’s not easy but you have nothing to lose.
2. Wormfriends – Australian company seems legit, I saw a few reports that they deliver. Worst comes to worst – you risk $750. I’d say go for it.
3. Get human whipworm ASAP. Hopefully a combination of both will help.
4. Get a blood test for vitamin D. Make sure to supplement until you’re in the range of 5-70ng/ml.

I say, go gluten-free and keep working at growing your own Hookworms. It seems difficult, but not impossible. Keep trying.
