		<description><![CDATA[wow...did lots of research today and found AIT and emailed with Marc, sent in my info form.  Appears there is no clinical trials at this point I could find online.  Checked w/Tufts Univ. and Dr. Weinstock but still no trials.  

Found the thailand site but unsure of what qty of whipworms to buy, I think they are the pig whipworms...for crohns&#039; that seems like the better one than the TT or human whipworms.  If you go to the site, make sure you calculate the currency right...it&#039;s not in Thailand dollars, it seems to be the Euro currency symbol...after I figured that out and did a conversion I realized shipping is about $90 USD and one bottle of the least count of pig whipworms would run about $280 with s/h.  Still a far cry less than AIT with $2900 and I am not interested if they are using human or TT.

My crohns story, if anyone still cares or has any input...sorry long day and kinda cranky...had this since 16, had 3 surgeries.  Have most of my small intestine but in Feb. the surgeon removed all but my sigmoid down to the rectum.  Better chance of ice in Hades than me having a formed poop ever again.  That being said and livin on Immodium was manageable...amazing what we live with isn&#039;t it..but then my rectovaginal abcesses came back along with fistulas and I basically pooped my freakin panties today b/c I couldn&#039;t make it to the bathroom.  So, try Humira and depress my immune system or try whipworms?  Choices, choices....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mike,

I don&#039;t know if whipworms will solve all your problems.  The case study guy above still suffers from allergies.

Hookworms seem to be helpful for allergies and other diseases.  Whipworms seem to help colonic disease the most.  But it&#039;s a fine line between help and harm.  Too many whipworms cause colitis and rectal prolapse.  Not enough won&#039;t alter your immune response.  What&#039;s the right number?  Don&#039;t know, since almost no one is doing egg counts or colonoscopies to assess their population.

AIT is experimenting with adding hookworms to whipworms after a period of time on the second.  The first UC&#039;ers who tried hookworms alone got worse, but wormtherapy has a patient with UC who has gone into remission on hookworms alone, so it&#039;s really unknown at this time who will benefit from what worm, and in what quantity.

I would call the two providers, ask a billion questions, see if they can tell you their success rate or not, hope they are honest, and go from there.

AIT has more experience, but wormtherapy is far easier to work with.  Jasper denied me worms several times when he got mad at something I said or wrote about.  So I really can&#039;t recommend working with him, although many of patients have done well, and they provide excellent service to most.  If you do go with them, try to work with Marc only.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Mike, yeah, my insurance only covers probiotics if you&#039;ve lost your colon.  They won&#039;t cover it to PREVENT losing your colon.  So I pay hundreds a month for VSL knowing there is a prescription for double strength that my stupid insurance won&#039;t pay.

(They also won&#039;t pay for the ambulence ride from the emergency room to the hospital at 3 AM.  They claim it was non-emergency.  So how the hell would I have gotten to the hospital, which doesn&#039;t have an emergency room to be treated?  So now I have to spend precious hours of my time fighting for this.)

The hell we go through is enough, fighting with the insurance companies or our doctors to give us alternatives to colectomies should not be so hard.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Will a person with Ulcerative Colits that has been so severe that USF GI doctors wanted to do a colonectomy, but then patient refused took Pro-Biotics that Dr.Oz recommended and now the Colitis is so so better as long as I pop the Pro-Biotics pills - way easier then poping Asacol pills that do nothing to help.  But one big problem the super expensive ASACOL pills are almost free under Medicaire Part D.

But the way cheaper Pro-Biotics are not covered by any insurance - humm - this is how USA wastes money and hurts patients.

Anyhow I now developed Minimal Change Disease or Nephritis.

Will Pig Whip Worms help cure Minimal Change Disease?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have Ulcerative Colits in Florida Tampa Bay , by Bucks Stadium, Dr. Ashwin Mehta gave me prednisone improperly causing failure of remission and massive stretch marks which he said will vanish once prednisone is stopped.  

My colitis got well under a different doctor on its own but Ashtma developed and skin flaking etc.

So will pig whip-worms help cure these other things that are actually extra-intestinal manifestations of colitis?]]></description>
