This page contains hundreds of anecdotal reports of both success and failure with helminthic therapy using one or more of the following therapeutic helminths.

* the human hookworm, Necator americanus (NA)
* the human whipworm, Trichuris trichiura (TT)
* the ova of the pig whipworm, Trichuris suis (TSO)
* the cysticercoids of the rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta (HDC).

There are also links below to pages dedicated to specific conditions, where there are hundreds more reports contributing to well over 1,000 personal stories in total on this site.

Most of the reports have been collected from social media, in particular from the [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/ Helminthic Therapy Support group].

{{Quote|indent}}The Helminthic therapy personal stories is my fave bit of the wiki! Reading THOUSANDS of testimonials. This in itself will raise your vibe 🌟🙌🥳. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3507548385967758/?comment_id=3507659949289935&reply_comment_id=3507689805953616]{{Quote|/indent}}

There are many thousands of people already self-treating with helminths, and approximately 75% of these are estimated to experience an improvement in their health. [http://www.yourwildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/galley-proof-v2.pdf] This overall response rate is particularly impressive given that most people who use this therapy have already tried every other treatment that is available for their condition.

The fact that many of these individuals have taken the time to report their experience is also amazing, for two reasons. Firstly, because many people are keen to hide the fact that they are hosting “worms” and some are not even prepared to divulge this fact to close family members so never report their experience. Secondly, the majority of those who get well as a result of using helminthic therapy can’t wait to resume the life that their illness had put on hold, so they very quickly lose interest in relating their stories online.

While there are a few failures listed among the reports below (identified by a frown emoji: ☹️), the individuals who reported these did not always follow best practice and, in some cases, had terminated the treatment before any improvements could have been expected. Since it is known that, for a few people, remission may not be achieved for up to 2 years following the first inoculation with helminths, the treatment cannot be assumed to have failed until that point.

Where people have described their success with several conditions in a single report, this has been duplicated so that it appears in each of the appropriate sections on this page.

* “I can't believe it's been almost a year since we got inoculated with hookworm. My only regret is that personally I didn't start hosting hookworm twenty years ago (or more!) Our entire family is so much better off. It's amazing to see my son run up to school from the end of the block on his own when at the beginning of the school year, he was almost paralyzed by panic attacks from PANDAS, a disease for which there is basically no treatment or cure aside from antibiotic administration until adulthood. My daughter had her best and most challenging school year ever and has made a best friend. My husband, too, only wishes he had gotten hookworm over a decade ago because of how much more productive and happier he is.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* “I put my whole family on helminths. When my son was 2 he was diagnosed with a rare type of autoimmune Nephrotic Syndrome. He is also IgE allergic to 8 foods and IgG allergic to about 12 more. He suffers from terrible eczema and he is on lots of medication including Cyclosporine for his kidneys. When he was around 9, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and they wanted to put him on Remicade infusion. I couldn’t take it anymore and went looking for alternatives. When I heard about helminths I had no doubt that I wanted this. My other son has food sensitivities and gets cyclical headaches every month with vomiting, and my husband has suffered with Crohn’s since his teens. Me, I’ve always felt healthy enough.

:"My children both got 5 hookworms and my husband and I got 20 each. Let me tell you that the Bounce my husband and I felt was AMAZING!

:"Long story short, my husband is “cured” of Crohns. His symptoms and inflammation are gone and he feels and looks younger. My autoimmune kid is also cured of his Crohns!!! No Remicade!!! His severe allergies turned to sensitivities. We still struggle with his kidneys but I believe he’s doing better overall due to hookworms. I lost weight that I’d struggled with for years, and it turns out it was just inflammation.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3544168688972394/]

* “We all used to take Allegra and Claritin. We are completely free of allergy meds now, 3 of us.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3585927828129813?comment_id=3587651214624141]

== Expressions of regret for having delayed treatment ==

Many people have commented that they wish they had tried helminthic therapy sooner than they did. A few of these comments are presented below.

* “I only regret not doing it two years ago when I first heard of helminthic therapy and I thought it was just crazy.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1068326963223258/?comment_id=1068347489887872&reply_comment_id=1068355509887070&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D]

* "I regret all the years of quality living I lost because I wasn’t hosting hookworms." [https://helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/Hookworms_successful_against_colitis_and_celiac_disease_after_medicine_fails]

* “I was 19 years old when diagnosed with pancolitis. I have tried everything with minimal if any relief from my symptoms. I'm 6 weeks in hosting human hookworm (NA) and I can't tell you how much i wish I had done this sooner.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1853108804745066&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I wish I hadn't waited so long. I've tried diet, I've seen several functional medicine doctors (and followed their protocols), and I've seen some of the best rheumatologists (and ophthalmologists) in Virginia, at Duke in North Carolina, and at Johns Hopkins in Maryland. None of them could offer me anything, really. I never thought I would purposefully inoculate myself with a helminth, but for the first time, I am actually excited at the prospect of getting better.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1853270628062217&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I can't believe it's been almost a year since we got inoculated with hookworm. My only regret is that I didn't start hosting hookworm twenty years ago (or more!) Our entire family is so much better off.”

* “I spent ungodly amounts of money over the past several years working with elite functional medicine docs. And I eventually came to the conclusion it wasn’t going to work for me… Now I’m 7 months in with NA and I’ve had no blood or symptoms of Colitis for 3 months… After all the time and money, I wish I just started Helminthic therapy 6 years ago and only changed my diet. The functional medicine tests and supplements didn’t help me one bit.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1634529973269618/?comment_id=1634673803255235&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “My son also has pancolitis and we are 7 months into helminth therapy. We have had a very smooth journey on TTO with really no side effects or worsening of symptoms, we are getting blood results back today and heading for a colonoscopy soon so will be able to see how things are going. My only regret is that we didn’t start sooner.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1854858797903400&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “Even tho I'm just in the beginning phase of HT... I really wish that I had started a while ago... or found out about it sooner.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1928880480501231/?comment_id=1929417810447498&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “A classmate of mine mentioned this therapy to me (four years ago). Because he wasn’t a really credible source of information otherwise (and I didn’t know my mental symptoms were likely autoimmune), I dismissed the idea. I wish I had looked into it sooner.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1928880480501231/?comment_id=1933648010024478&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I’m so glad I'm on this journey, and wish I hadn't waited so long.” (Link expired.)

* “I delayed a long time, in fact someone I told about HT tried it long before I did and then talked me into trying it myself. I'm very grateful to him for doing that, sharing his experience and enthusiasm was very helpful for me… If we're talking hypothetical time machines I'd go back not just to when I first heard about HT, I'd go back to when I was an infant or toddler and give myself worms.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/728615583861066/?comment_id=728654000523891&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I really wish I had done this way back when I first heard about it. I waited for the western medicine folks to fix me, and it just didn't happen. In the meantime, I got sicker and sicker. If I could go back and get hookworms five years ago, I would.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/728615583861066/?comment_id=728619870527304&offset=0&total_comments=2&hc_location=ufi]

* “I think I joined this group a couple years ago but ignored it, didn't follow, didn't read. I regret that. 2 years was not a huge percentage of my life, but it could have saved my body some trauma.

* "I read about helminth therapy years ago, and I'm really sorry I categorized it as a "last resort" back then. Every time I think of what it's done for our health, I am amazed, and humbled. Such a little thing can have such huge relief in the long term." [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/4847022252020358?comment_id=4850971704958746&reply_comment_id=4853636264692290]

* "I had actually been in pain since my 20s but it was only in my 50s that it became unbearable and I was finally diagnosed.

NA literally saved my life." [https://helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/Hookworms_literally_saved_my_life]

* "Overall, this treatment has given me a second chance at life. If I could go back in time and do this sooner, I would have. I wasted too much time and money trying medicine that didn't help - and I missed out on a lot of life experiences because of that. But there's no point in thinking about that - I could have done this earlier, but I'm glad that I didn't start this later."

== Expression of regret for terminating treatment ==

When people who are hosting helminths develop new symptoms, or an old or existing condition flares, their worms are often the first factor to fall under suspicion. In most cases where this leads to termination of a colony of human helminths, this step is later regretted when the actual cause of the symptoms is discovered and the self-treater experiences a return of the disease symptoms that their worms had been controlling. The individual will then also face a prolonged wait for a new colony to mature and reestablish immune balance.

Also see the following page.

* [[Hookworm side effects#Symptoms experienced after inoculation are not always worm side-effects | '''Symptoms experienced after inoculation are not always worm side-effects''']]

In some cases, a misguided doctor may insist that a therapeutic helminth colony is terminated before they prescribe immunosuppressive treatment. Doctors are aware of drug manufacturers’ advice that, before patients are given immunosuppressant drugs - for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupilumab dupilumab] (Dupixent) - any helminth infection should be terminated. This advice is to prevent immunosuppression by the drug from supporting the proliferation of ''pathogenic'' helminths, so does not apply to NA, TTO or TSO because these species cannot proliferate within a host. It is, however, advisable for anyone using HDCs to stop taking this species while on immunosuppressants. [http://biomerestoration.com/faqs/]

Whichever of the above reasons prompts termination of a colony of therapeutic helminths, the result is invariably regret for this action.

* “For myself and a friend with Addison’s, HDC has been very helpful.” (Link expired)

* “Before hw, I had pain in my kidney area after any stress - sometimes quite debilitating levels… My adrenal autoantibodies were somewhat high - just within the range of official (Addison’s) diagnosis. And my cortisol levels were crazy - super high in the middle of the night and low during the day (which I'm told is typical as the adrenals start to fail.) I started an Autoimmmune Protocol diet a few months before starting HT, and I believe that helped. But I still had symptoms - in particular the pain over my kidneys anytime I was startled or stressed - until about 1.5 years into hw treatment. Had my adrenal autoantibodies tested about 20 months after starting HT, and they were at zero. And my cortisol levels are normal now.

* "... since hosting my helminths... the pain from my adhesions has been considerably less." (Link expired)

* “Because of adhesions, I used to have a lot of cramping and often loose stools. That has, astonishingly, completely normalised. There are many adhesions (as a result of a Cesarean section). The most severe ones appear to be on my right colon, a little higher than my appendix. In some MRIs it looked like there might be an invagination caused by the adhesions, which comes and goes. That is also the area where it hurts all the time, so it makes sense to me.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2555376637851609/?comment_id=2732330813489523] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2555376637851609/?comment_id=2732330813489523&reply_comment_id=2733415233381081]

=== Adrenal fatigue ===

* “According to my doctor my adrenal fatigue was related to fibromyalgia. After 9 months and 45 HWs later I have stopped taking hydrocort, stopped with all sleeping medications, and am getting ready to stop the cortisol supplement. I am waking up with more energy, going to sleep naturally, and not crashing during the day. I credit the HWs with this improvement after suffering for more than 6 years and trying many different treatments with no improvement. I also suffer from many other issues and my energy levels are still low but this improvement for me is huge.” (Reported to the Helminthic Therapy Support group. Post now deleted.)

=== Aspirin-induced asthma / Samter's triad / Samter's syndrome ===

(Also known as aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD))

* The following two reports are by the same person, two years apart.
** "My father… has something called Samter's syndrome which includes nasal polyps, chronic rhinitis, and aspirin sensitivity. For 20-25 years, he had little senses of taste or smell, from polyps on his sinus nerve, and had multiple surgeries to remove them. Starting about 6 months after getting HW (by then, he had about 50, I think), the polyps went away, never to return. He's had his taste and smell all the time, acutely, for now a good 3½ years." (Reported in a private discussion, Mar 2012)
** “Now he is getting the same efficacy from HDC.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/263818550462551/permalink/265373996973673/]

* "Wow this is amazing! I was diagnosed with Samters Triad / Aspirin Exaccerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD) in Oct 2014. Samters Triad is salicylate intolerance, nasal polyps and asthma… I decided to give HW a go in Jul 2015. My initial dose was 25. After 3 months I noticed I could get away with the odd glass of wine without an anti-histamine. In Oct I took a further 40 HW. Then suddenly about 10 days ago (mid January 2016) my nose cleared, and my energy levels escalated. I started cutting back my asthma medication and have taken nothing at all for 4 days now with no symptoms!” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/946052288784060/]

* “I have AERD (Samter's Triad). Asthma, nasal polyps, and aspirin sensitivity. I've taken incredible amounts of prednisone to control the polyps and have had two surgeries to remove them over the last ten years… Started worms a few years ago. Initially HDC, which worked well and would provide relief for weeks. Made the move to NA and have had similar success there, it just lasts longer. I see improvement with as little as 30 NA, but get better control with 60-70. I currently take: Singular 10mg, Advair (250/50) as needed, and Pulmicort off label usage. With worms, I'm able to not take prednisone or aspirin… The worms make a night and day difference. Without them I would be in a bad place.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1401894353199849/]

* “I self-infected 25 hookworm (and) began to experience symptom relief (after) about 2.75-3.0 months… Brain fog/etc has completely cleared up in a very non-druggy way. It's hard to describe but supplements which 'clear up brain fog' were obviously just getting me 'high'.

* “HDC has had a positive effect on my energy, brain fog, and sleep… It's hard to quantify one’s energy but for months prior to hdc I had a regular mid-afternoon crash and I don’t have those anymore. Also I’ve been prescribed adderall to cope with work and since starting hdc I’ve reduced my dose by ½ and for 2 days immediately after dosing with hdc even that’s too much… I am thrilled with the benefits I’ve had so far. I was seriously looking into applying for long term disability at work and now I can handle it ok again.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1355145527874732/]

* “I’d previously required max doses of two antidepressants plus stimulants to improve my lupus brain fog and stay functional. Exactly three months after each NA inoculation, I needed to cut down my stimulants because I'd suddenly be overstimulated and jittery, to the point where I've now stopped them. By the fourth dose, I was able to wean completely off both the antidepressants, when previously I couldn't tolerate a dose reduction for a week. I've been symptom-free except after I had to take helminth-unfriendly antibiotics for Lyme disease. Then my symptoms came back a month later, only to improve again three months after I reinoculated with NA. My psychiatrist has been impressed enough to share my results with other clients. There's a lot of evidence now that depression and other mental illnesses are caused at least in part by inflammation, and I chalk it up to that, but it was a completely unexpected benefit.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3003258209730114/?comment_id=3003295283059740&reply_comment_id=3005744796148122]

* Michael was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 1996 as a 17-year-old. Three operations and a slew of drugs relieved the symptoms, but only at the cost of unbearable side effects. After reading scores of research papers, Michael decided to try helminthic therapy. He was not overjoyed at the idea of swallowing worms, but everything he read convinced him it was worth the risk. When he was 25 he ordered a batch of pig whipworm eggs from a German company called Ovamed (it is illegal to sell or breed helminths in the US). Michael drank 2500 eggs every two weeks for three months. His symptoms began to disappear. In April 2010 he allowed 35 hookworm larvae to burrow into his skin and says that his Crohn’s disease has been in remission ever since. “As soon as you say worms people get freaked out,” Michael says. “But it’s not like you feel disgusting worms wriggling inside you. People forget that they have billions of bacteria crawling over their skin right now.” Before self-infecting, Michael’s intestines were ravaged and bleeding. When Moshe Rubin of the New York Hospital Queens examined Michael’s intestine earlier this year, he found that his “small bowel looked almost completely normal”. “It’s not a controlled trial, but the suggestion based on this observation is that helminthic therapy was helping him,” Rubin says.

** "… the incredible pain I normally experience in my upper abdomen from the crohn's (mostly located in my jejunum) has slowly but surely vanished! I mean, how do you not notice something like that after suffering for so long?! I guess the improvements were slow and subtle. Anyhow, I feel very certain I can thank my HW for that!

** “When I started with HW I was having as many as 20-30 trips to the bathroom per day and through the night. I had a ton of intestinal bleeding. I was almost entirely home bound because I simply couldn't be far enough from a bathroom long enough to get anywhere… I was surviving solely on Absorb Plus at that time - no solid foods and was very under weight… It was around 4, maybe 5 months in that I noticed my abdominal pain had disappeared. Slowly my stools were becoming less frequent (10-15 times per day/night). Then they started firming up slightly. Then I was noticing less and less blood. I would have 1 good day out of 7, and I'd have energy and feel GOOD... I was able to go outside and do fun things with my kids again without being exhausted 5 minutes into an activity and desperately wanting to lie down. I wasn't constantly running to the bathroom. Now, I have really good days probably 65% of the time. I haven't had ANY blood in my stools in months now and my stools are mostly always formed… The urgency is MUCH better… For a while I was using LDN as well as helminths but now I'm using helminths solely… and I'm still seeing gradual improvement. This has been the single most helpful thing I've ever done for the Crohn's I've dealt with forever… I'm just so incredibly happy... I'm so glad I decided to try this.

* "I raced triathlon for several years... I struggled with the inflammatory results of all the training, and had relatively frequent flare ups of my chrons/colitis. Pre race anxiety also made things worse... So, I took a year off of training and decided to try HT without any exercise. Over the first year, I noticed a good deal of improvement in my symptoms and ability to tolerate allergens. Once I felt like I was stable, I started to ride my bike again. Over the next year, I was able to increase the frequency of my rides to 5-6x per week. I'm now racing cyclocross and enjoy it a great deal. While I have adjusted my expectations and anticipated outcomes, I still am able to get out, enjoy myself, and maintain a healthy lifestyle." (Link expired)

=== Dysautonomia ===

* “I was dx with NCS dysautonomia a long time ago. NA has removed the 'leg pooling' of blood which allows me the freedom of not getting that leaded leg symptom which would cause me to get dizzy... When I have the right number of NA my dysautonomia goes away."

=== Erythromelalgia ===

* "I was suffering from a painful, debilitating autoimmune condition called erythromelalgia, in which my feet would periodically flare a bright red color. (Erythromelalgia involves a loss of small-fiber nerves controlling blood flow.) I also had large-fiber neuropathy, where there was no longer a measurable signal for my sural nerve (a major nerve running from the calf to the foot). Another symptom of the large-fiber neuropathy was losing all strength in the muscles which were supposed to straighten my toes. Not long after I began hosting hookworms, I also started taking low-dose naltrexone. While I think both autoimmune treatments have been helpful, and complementary, the hookworms seem more essential to my well-being. My erythromelagia has improved tremendously since treatment. In addition, I have recovered a measurable signal in the sural nerve, and can straighten my toes normally again. Although I'm not completely free of erythromelagia symptoms, my activities are no longer limited by my feet. And where I was once routinely awakened three times per night by flaring feet, I haven't experienced such a flare for 6 years now. There have also been a number of the "bonuses" that hookworm recipients sometimes speak of. Where I was very susceptible to tendinitis for most of my adult life, this is no longer the case since treatment. Where eating pineapple or strawberries always made my tongue look like a map of the world, those no longer give me any trouble. And my sense of smell, which had diminished significantly, has improved." (Via private communication, July 2015)

=== Eosinophilic enterocolitis ===

* "I once had a young boy in the age of 8 years who developed an eosinophilic enterocolitis when he was 14 months old. During the course of the disease he was treated with Mesalazine, Prednisolone, Budenoside, Ecoli Nissle and Montekulast without any success. When he was hospitalized at the pediatric gastroenterology of Bremen University in Germany he was treated with 10 escalating TSO doses starting from 100 ova ending up with 2000 ova biweekly. He did not show any improvements during the treatment until the last dose. The first time after 6 years he had formed stool without any bleeding anymore. The Doctor in Chief made a poster presentation at the German pediatric gastroenterology conference and won a poster prize."

=== Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE / EoE) ===

* "My daughter who has EE is off of Prilosec for the first time in six years!!! Only one incident of reflux in the last eleven days and none of the other typical symptoms that we've seen without it -- sleeplessness, crabbiness and emotional volatility because of increased pain. I'm not giving her anything else -- no antacid, betaine HCL, TUMS, or baking soda in water… This is absolutely huge for us… Her eating is much better in general as she is now able to eat a lot more nutritionally dense food… Yesterday she went to sleep before the rest of us. This has practically never happened." (Reported in a private discussion, Apr 2012)

* "… after the initial inoculation with seven hookworms, Cole experienced some side effects—periumbilical pain and mild diarrhea—but his food reactions improved. After five months, however, Carmon says, 'He regressed a little.' She and her husband decided to have Cole inoculated with 20 more worms. That’s what did the trick, Carmon says. Cole stopped having reactions to his remaining foods and Carmon is slowly adding foods back into his diet. According to his doctors, Cole is in clinical remission, and they are 'fascinated' that helminth therapy worked. Helminth therapy has had other benefits, in addition to dramatically improving his health. 'He used to have trouble learning but he is now doing wonderfully in school … He used to be fussy and hard to please but now he’s just so happy all the time.'” [http://www.livingwithout.com/issues/4_21/fishing_for_cure-2955-1.html]

* "… there has been a dramatic improvement with the eosinophilic esophagitis. Prior to inoculation, I was experiencing some level of food impaction that would, on a weekly basis, require a rush trip to the bathroom to find a way to push food down. I could not eat most foods without a glass of water near by at all times to help wash down each bite of food. Since inoculation, I have not experienced a single episode of food impaction! It's no longer necessary for me to remember a glass of water every time I want a snack… It has been 5 weeks since I used the medication (Flovent) with any regularity, and I'm still symptom free. I'm surprised for 2 reasons. First, EoE was not a condition that I really hoped the worms to improve… Second, I am surprised to have seen such a significant improvement so early in therapy…” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/504053876317239/]

* "I have been dealing with EE for the past 25 years. Food would get stuck in my esophagus just about every day. I have made several trips to the ER to get it pulled out. I started getting dilations done, but it would just close up again within a 2 months. I've had ~30 dilations. My throat was so tight (worst all my doctors have ever seen) they would have to use pediatric scopes and wires to do the dilations. Normal adult sized instruments where two large. I started therapy with Hookworms 20 months ago. It was not until 6 months after starting that I could really say it was starting to help. The dilations done in the past they were BARELY able to dilate me to 8mm and it would close up again in a few weeks. Today I'm dilated to 13mm and we are dilating every 6 months just to stay on top of it… I am very happy with the results so far. It is not 100%, more like 60%, but that 60% has made a HUGE impact on my quality of life." (Link expired)

* “Both my sons were diagnosed with EE at a young age. They were avoiding long lists of foods. One of my sons got to the point that he wasn't tolerating any food, and was on a special hypoallergenic formula. we were considering a feeding tube. We infected both of them with hook and whip two years ago. They now only are allergic to nuts and shellfish! It is a miracle for our family. Their last endoscopies looked great! Our quality of life has greatly improved!! I also had hookworms during my last pregnancy. I was a little worried but delivered a beautiful, healthy baby girl. She has no food allergies. Our allergist is shocked based on our family history.” (Link expired)

* “I started helminthic therapy almost 2 years ago in a desperate attempt to get my eosinophilic esophagitis and endless list of serious allergies under control. At several points, the number of foods I could tolerate was... zero. Even on "medically fabricated food" I was still pretty sick. One of my most burdensome allergies was oral allergy syndrome - an allergy to any food that has not been cooked. I am celebrating this week, because I've discovered that for the first time in 8 years I can eat raw food with NO reaction! Blueberries, strawberries, spinach, broccoli... Delicious! I was close to giving up on my little worms, since I saw no discernible improvement for a year and a half. I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and I wanted to share my joy and gratitude with all of you.” (Reported in a private message, Sept 2013)

* “Our son is five-years-old. He has EoE, Ige mediated allergies, Gastroparesis, OAS, and all of the symptoms of MCAS. He began treating with Helminths seven months ago. We had a rough start. His first dose of 5 HW made him incredibly sick. Thereafter, he had two small doses of HDC a few months apart. The HDC helped him slightly, but their purpose was to acclimate his body for a second dose of HW. He received his second dose of 5 HW around two months ago. Those little guys took him to task. He was extremely ill: vomiting, weight loss, refusal to eat, dangerously high fevers with sudden onset that wouldn't go down, I rushed him into his doctor's office, sometimes several days in a row. His Helminthic doctor suggested terminating the worms, but we hunkered down and stuck through it. Now, he is doing absolutely amazing. He feels better than he has ever felt in his life. The aches and pains that he had learned to live with, in his throat, stomach, chest, and legs have vanished. He is not throwing up. He still struggles a bit when he eats, but he is eating like a champion. He's eating faster and he's eating more. Most importantly, the pain that he used to feel while eating is gone. His rashes are gone. He achieved a new weight record (35 pounds! Yay!)… He has been holding strong, symptom free, for an unprecedented stretch of time now… In hindsight, I am grateful that the mainstream treatment options didn't work for him. He is now pharmaceutical free and feeling good, and that is a wonderful thing.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1040729659316322/]

* “Re daughter, 11 yrs old, with EOE. Failed pork on elimination diet trial. Doctor ordered elimination of pork, and either adding Prilosec back in, or up Flovent from 2 puffs twice daily to 4 puffs twice daily. We opted for the later: eliminate pork and 4 puffs twice daily on Flovent. PLUS we added 3 NA. During the three months we cheated on chicken, turkey and pork over a dozen times. She was not consistent with her Flovent. Probably did not do it 1/3 of the time. Scoped yesterday (for latest biopsy) thinking the worst. Doctor comes in with the biggest smile on his face. Showed me pictures of the beautiful pink veins and smooth skin. He was so shocked at how good the pictures where. He actually talked about a 6 month trial without Flovent. HA HA… Am getting excited about the next dose (of NA) to arrive!” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2507957052593568/]

* "The TSO worked for the eosinophilic esophagitis for me. I used TSO 2500 eggs every two and a half weeks for 5 months and stopped for about a month and I could feel it coming back so I bought five months more and that seemed to do the trick. It seems to be ok now. I have not taken any for a couple of months now."

* "Our 16 year old daughter has been on NA for about 5 years and is in remission for EOE. We started in 2019 with three NA every three months and now maintain the colony with three NA every four months. Inflammatory foods that she avoids are gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts, but she has never tried to add these back in because we just don’t want to mess with what is working. She doesn’t even have a GI doctor anymore. She never really got severe because we caught it early, and I believe her most severe scope was 30-60 eosinophils in a high power field. Yay!"

* "Has anyone else noticed that the 'reflux' GORD symptoms they have had for years disappear with Helminths too? It seems to be a common theme amongst many people I have donated NA to. A very welcome benefit. Many people have been taking all kinds of treatments to control pain/discomfort around the solar plexus area for years following a 'diagnosis' of reflux but it seems it may just be inflammation in that nerve rich area?"

I tested for sensitivity (the blood test measured IgG antibody, food antigens) to grains, legumes, nuts, meat, fowl, dairy, fruits, vegetables, fish, Mollusk, Crustacea, Miscellaneous items such as honey, chocolate, coffee, and yeasts. Out of the 100 items tested I showed a single "moderate level 3 reaction" on a scale from I to 6." (Reported to the Facebook Helminthic Therapy Support Group, Jul 2012)

* “I struggled for over 8 years with autoimmune disease, coeliacs, lymphocytic colitis and gastritis. Progressively my immune system decided food was the enemy. I began having allergic reactions to foods I’d eaten all my life. In a short period of time, my health became so chronic I hit rock bottom. The physical, emotional and financial cost has been huge. Finding an integrative GP was the game changer for me. Helminthic therapy was recommended. Initially, as expected, my immune system was not happy about sharing my gut. Starting with just 2 HDC, after almost 5 months we’re up to 10! Helminthic therapy has brought healing, happiness and joy back into my life. I’ve re-introduced foods back into my diet, gently. I no longer experience pain, bloating, belching or diarrhoea every time I eat. Only 2 of the last 140 days with any symptoms. I enjoy eating now. Bliss.” (Reported in a message submitted to the wiki.)

Helminthic therapy was recommended to me after my last bout of gastritis after all other avenues had been thoroughly exhausted.

I could only spend the briefest of periods out of my bed or chair… My basic needs were attended to by visiting carers, but just interacting on a minimal level with these invariably very cheery folk would leave me exhausted!

I still get some brain fog if I’m tired, and rely on a good night’s sleep to ensure optimum cognition. But, thanks to the worms, I no longer need to take a rest during the day, and I can now enjoy gardening, and even paint a fence, when required. I can also do exercises and use a spin bike to keep my ageing frame mobile. And, although officially retired, I’m working again, part-time.

The following two posts are by the same person.

:* “At 10 weeks post inoculation with 5 NA for CFS/ME and chronic migraine, in the past two days I suddenly have many times more energy than usual for winter. Vastly more. Last winter a weekly trip to the grocery store would wipe me out to the point of being able to do NOTHING (no work, no housework, no cooking, nothing but resting) the entire rest of the week and I struggled to stay awake past 7 pm no matter how much I rested during the day. Yesterday, I cleaned the kitchen, batch cooked for half of the day, vacuumed, changed the bed linens and stayed up until 10 pm. Today I'm mopping, cleaning the bathrooms, doing laundry and cooking a bit more. This energy is in addition to the early improvements I've had in brain fog, joint pain, plantar fasciitis and increased tolerance to high FODMAP foods.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1040952539294034/]

:* “18 week update, treating for CFS/ME, chronic migraine, suspected RA. 5 NA, then 10-12 more at 12 weeks. My typical state pre-NA was 4-8 migraines per month and energy so low that I counted any day where I managed to cook food for dinner (with the rest of the day spent in bed or on the couch) as a good day. I had a step change improvement in energy at week 10, then a new surge of energy the last two days. In two days, I've cooked for hours, cleaned most of the house, done laundry and done a bit of spring pruning in the garden. A few minutes after I finished vacuuming this morning, my partner came up to the bedroom see me, expecting to find me in bed. Instead he found me outside on the deck with watercolours. My main concern today is not overdoing it to the point where I crash out for a week. I keep having to make myself sit down to rest as I have the energy to keep going. An unusual feeling for me. Also of note, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and typically my worst time of year for energy. Brain fog is no longer a daily problem. Greatly improved tolerance for high fructan foods.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1079127865476501/] [http://colonyofme.com/escaping-autoimmune-hell-helminthic-microbiome-immune-support/] [http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/incredible-improvements-with-helminthic-therapy.48955/]

* “Two and a half years ago, one of our 12 y/o twins acquired a virus that left her with debilitating post viral complications. She was diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and CFS (chronic fatigue). This was one very sick kid. She spent several months bed/couch ridden. Could barely walk from couch to toilet. Struggled to dress and wash herself. Her brain fog was so severe she quite literally could not do the sum 1+1, and any mental activity would result in her becoming teary with frustration and hopelessness. She was clinically depressed and completely socially withdrawn, and missed 12 months of school. Approx 5 months into her illness I inoculated her with approx 10 NA… It was about 2-3 months after this inoculation that she finally started to climb the long hill out of her illness… While she had a rocky year last year, missing a full term and several weeks here and there when she had flares or was unlucky enough to catch a virus, she gradually did make the climb out of the ditch. Today she is a powerhouse. She rises early with her sister 6am! to ride her bike to school (14kms!!) a few mornings a week, and takes an evening taekwando class…” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1274557485933537/]

* “I have both fibromyalgia and CFS/ME and was first inoculated just over 2 years ago. I have found improvement, especially since it has helped with inflammation. It is not a cure for me but I have been able to slowly go off medications, get less infections, have less flare days, and recover quicker than I use to. For me 5HWs is a dose where I obtain the most benefit with the fewest side effects.” (Link expired)

* “My wife watched me use the helminths for my Crohn's and soon jumped on board for her CFS and allergies. She is a friggin energizer bunny now. Some days, I regret turning her onto the HDC! She was a fast responder. Her allergies went away in about 4-6 weeks and the CFS was improving at the 8 week mark. She is hosting about 15 NA and doses 40 HDC every two weeks." (Link expired)

* “I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and it's almost a year ago since I took my first helminths (NA). By last summer my fatigue was progressing from mild to intermediate. It was getting to the point where I would struggle to leave my apartment and walk two blocks to do grocery shopping. I also had some issues relating to IBS, rhinitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis which made me suspect that there was an auto immune component to my fatigue. From what I read the helminths seemed to do well with that particular angle so I decided to give it a shot. For the first five months I made no other changes and I noticed a definite difference in energy. 11 months and 40 NA later I feel the best I have in years. Obviously I can't guarantee that it was all the worms, but I absolutely feel like the helminths played a big a part.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1677403632315585/]

* “I have CFS of many decades that was mild to moderate but had got bad in the last few years. I started NA just over two years ago and, in the first 14 months, I got 3-4 (bad) bouts of flu followed by flares of autoimmune symptoms, all of which can be a sign for people with CFS that they are recovering. Now, my autoimmune symptoms are in remission and my CFS is much improved. My food intolerances are miles better, and my baseline heath is hugely better than prior to starting NA.” (Edited from three posts: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2986117701444165/?comment_id=2987228881333047&reply_comment_id=2990567960999139] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/3741291362593458/?comment_id=4081939218528669&reply_comment_id=4084649094924348] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/3741291362593458/?comment_id=4081939218528669&reply_comment_id=4084649094924348]) 

* "Initially it was very hard going with additional fatigue, could hardly stay awake for the first 12 weeks or so. But after about 6 months, I noticed my energy levels improving and my food intolerances have also improved. My autonomic symptoms, e.g., poor body temperature regulation, have also improved a bit but probably not as much as the other symptoms. Brain fog depends a lot on food intolerance reactions and how well I sleep... It's really been worth it. Just as an example, for years I couldn't walk up any more than 5 stairs, now I can do well over 20 with no problem... I started with 5NA (but now) don't inoculate any more than 3NA at a time."

* "It’s still early days for me but since starting low doses of TSO in Late March I definitely feel like I have noticeably more energy. For example, before I started HT if I got over 2000 steps in a day I would always crash for a few days. Now, though, I regularly get between 2300-2500 steps with few problems. That sounds like a small gain but for me it’s big. Also, my sleep and mood are better, my stomach is more settled, and I can eat a few more foods that I couldn’t before. And when I overdo it the PEM (post-exertional malaise) is not as severe. I still have a very long way to go but I’m more hopeful with this treatment than I have been in years."

: And a six month update.

:* I have noticed a mild reduction in all ME/CFS symptoms including sensitivity to light and sounds. The main thing I’ve noticed is that when I do crash I now bounce back to my baseline noticeably faster. I take TSO and NA. My colonies are still fairly small as I’m moving very slowly with this therapy as per the wiki advice for people with ME/CFS. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/5693579460697962/?comment_id=5694577020598206] 

* "I’ve had ME/CFS for 30+ years and was in a particularly bad patch for the last 4½ years. Couch bound, noise sensitivity, balance issues, headaches that easily tipped over to migraines on a daily basis and debilitating fatigue. I had my first dose of 3 NA around Christmas last year, and that first month was jolly hard work. I wish I'd put meals in the freezer and set things up so I could just deal with existing. Putting things in place so I could get through each day in the easiest way possible… My symptoms worsened and I struggled to do anything. This lasted for a month and then my energy levels began increasing little by little each day. I applied another 3 NA after 3 months and again my symptoms worsened. I also noticed that I caught whatever was going around. This was again for the first month after treatment, then I again went from strength to strength each day. I've had another dose of 3 NA at the 3 month mark and the same pattern has happened again, I get worse and then I get better. Thankfully with each dose I am finding that my overall health is improving - an upward trajectory. The gains I get in the 2 good months are moving me forward and I'm now beginning to gently re-join the world. I can meet friends for social gatherings and cope with the noise and the interaction. I can be active through the day and not pay the price for it afterwards and for days following."

* "I have been using helminthic therapy for the past year to treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Initially, I used 3 NA every 12 weeks for 3 doses, and derived significant benefit from this. However the flu-like side effects following each dose were substantial - a sore throat, sore muscles and fatigue. The worst of these would last, reliably, for a week after each inoculation, with lesser, although still significant, symptoms continuing for another 2 months. After discussing my situation with someone experienced in HT, I decided to try using TSO, which I started 4 months ago. The doses I am using currently are 0.4ml drawn from a 15ml bottle containing 2500 ova, and dosing at 4 day intervals. This regime has worked very well for me, and the side effects from the TSO have been much more manageable than with NA. Since beginning HT, I have had significant benefits. I have far greater exercise tolerance and my cognitive function and mood have both also improved, although these improvements do require continued careful dosing to maintain. I still have to be careful to avoid excessive stressors, but I am the healthiest I have been since I was first diagnosed at the age of 15 (I'm now 27) and I have improved to such an extent as to be able to resume full time study towards my degree."

I've been getting better over the past month which is month two for me. I've been a very strong responder. I essentially knew it was going to work since I experienced 95 to 100% recovery during the "bounce" period around day 10… It was nuts, I was actually running around… I was just able to go on a 4 day sailing trip on my boat and I actually started crying from happiness near the end at realizing I seem to have most of my life back.

It worked like a charm and since then (6 months) I've been able to eat donuts, cake, beer, etc. with zero issues.

I must say HT has been a lifesaver for me, and I found NA and TSO extremely helpful with mould symptoms; HDC, not so much. I started with 8 NA in 2019 and felt positive effects within the first three months. When I started TSO, I had a sophisticated colony of NA on board already. Zero side effects to a full course of TSO. The effects of both species on board were absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t afford to take TSO after that, unfortunately, and so benefits declined rapidly after finishing the last dose. Through this period, I was living with mould.

* “The things that I wanted to get some positive result with was the fatigue and the pain associated almost certainly with gluten. The fatigue has been almost completely addressed. I still get tired but don’t get that knocked out sensation. The gluten tolerance is now much improved. If I do have too much, I can still get uncomfortable bloating etc but nothing like the pain previously, and can often get away with no pain at all.

* “So I’m a little over a year into NA treatment. Last night I had dinner with a friend who is not familiar with my gluten allergy. And I decided to eat a full meal with no dietary restrictions (including flour). I did great! No noticeable symptoms until 12 hours later. I woke up with some moderate arthritic pain in my hands, and a mild headache. 16-18 hours later I had some mild GI discomfort. About 2-3 pounds of inflammation, so that was significantly decreased also. No staying in bed for 24 hours due to severe and debilitating pain. Although this isn’t going to become the norm at this point, it was incredibly freeing. I almost felt normal. I almost felt well. I did not truly believe that this would ever be possible.” (Link expired)

:* (At 18 months.) “I AM EATING GLUTEN! Yes, capital letters today. In the past two weeks I think I have achieved a milestone. For the first time I have had consistent success with digesting gluten and other things on a frequent basis. I have been testing it out daily and had my fair share of pastries, cookies and pasta (forgive me, I haven't had that in what feels like an eternity!). I can most definitely say that the worms have changed my digestion (and IBS-D) and have increased my tolerance to allergens significantly.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/2726061500783121?comment_id=4327263047329617]
:* (At 3 years.) "I've been to Italy and have been eating gluten and all sorts of other things. No adverse reactions. I'm feeling absolutely great.

* "My wife is basically healthy. But she doesn't eat gluten because it generates a little bit of inflammation and mostly because she gets somewhat depressed when she eats anything with even a small amount of gluten. Seeing all the good TSO did for me with UC (Ulcerative colitis - more than 2 years symptom free) she began taking around 500 ova every 2 weeks for maintaining her general health. She began just 3 months ago. Last week she went on a nature trail / kayaking vacation with a group of 12 people. She had asked for no gluten meals but somehow that was not done. So she spent 7 days eating gluten every day. It had no negative impact at all. No inflammation, no depression feeling during or after the trip. Nothing. We believe this to due to TSO. It is the only thing that has changed in her lifestyle. For at least 10 years she always reacted to the slightest amount of gluten. Just not this time around. This will make traveling much more easy of course!" [https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid06V3ii9g5vT7mH1s5RQsQotWSggJgDikphGDKP4TvDdyZDb6ez2RsCHu7VBP4AdQ2l&id=100006887117779]

=== PANDAS / PANS ===
(Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections / Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome)

* "We are almost six months past his initial inoculation (with NA). His PANDAS is pretty much completely gone, his sensory issues are back to what they were pre-PANDAS. He is dramatically improved. This is all way beyond our wildest dreams, since we had no idea these results could happen and were trying to address his allergic rhinitis and chronic ear infections with the treatment." (Reported in a private discussion, Apr 2012)

* "I can't believe it's been almost a year since we got inoculated with hookworm… It's amazing to see my son run up to school from the end of the block on his own when at the beginning of the school year, he was almost paralyzed by panic attacks from PANDAS, a disease for which there is basically no treatment or cure aside from antibiotic administration until adulthood." (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* "Our son, who is 10 and has Autism as well as PANDAS, was our first child to go on TSO and he has benefited greatly from it. It is also helping quite a lot with his allergies. (High Histamines = raging BAD mood for him.) His bloodwork results have been coming back close to normal where they'd not ever been close to normal in the past. Similar with our daughter, who is almost 13 and who began TSO in January 2013. She has had PANDAS and OCD for 9-10 years, since she was a toddler, but with the addition of TSO to her regimen, she lost her OCD overnight in January and it's not returned, though she says she can feel a little "buzzing" when it's time for more TSO, and that means the benefit is starting to wane. She was doing well enough in April to take a break from IVIG, at which point her bloodwork began coming in normal. She continues TSO every 2 weeks and is now happy and stable." (Link expired)

* “5 months without a PANDAS flare up!! Thank you helminths!! My ASD & PANDAS daughter was having horrible anxiety, involuntary movements, some really scary tongue and breathing tics and, before she got her 45 Necator Americanus helminths, she was having flares every month. I was so desperate to stop the suffering and I only regret not doing it two years ago when I first heard of helminthic therapy and thought it was just crazy. There was a dramatic worsening of tics the first few weeks. At times it seemed like she was for sure starting a new flare but the symptoms would only last for minutes or a couple hours, and there has been a complete resolution of PANDAS flare ups now. I had tried TSO before the NA and I was amazed at the immediate improvements but I just couldn't afford to pay $400 a month for the TSO. The majority of research that I found on helminths for autoimmune conditions is for NA, and the cost is better since they live 3+ years.” (Edited from several posts in this thread: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1068326963223258/])

* These two posts are about the same child:
**“My son was very very sick when we started HDC worms. We have been on them every two weeks for over a year... Worms have changed my kids life drastically. He was on 3 antibiotics to treat his PANDAS before. He was always up and down and under weight. He gained over 5 inches in 7 months on the worms. Is 30 percentile in weight and 20 percentile now in height. This is a kid that never even made the charts.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1181463555242931/]
**“We do HDC for over a year for my PANDAS autism kid. Best thing we have ever done. He was on 3 antibiotics and still having flares before we started. He is 12 and for the first time since 4 off all antibiotics and no flares for this entire year. Ocds, tics and anxiety so much better. Using more language. Trying so many new things. Went from dangerously underweight to 30 percentile. Grew over 6 inches in one year. Overall healthier. Best thing we could have ever done. He is just so easy going and that is not what anyone would have said about him before.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1187124991343454/]

* "Good news re: my PANS / PANDAS child (age 9) - his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) decreased by 95% practically overnight, following his 4th dose of 2,500 TSO. It has lasted for 2 days now, where he no longer cares where things are placed/ordered around our home. Previously, if one thing was "out of place" he would grow very agitated and angry until it was back the way he needed it to be. We started him on a half dose (1,200) of TSO at the beginning of October with 2,500 TSO every two weeks after. He would temporarily get worse after each dose, but it was worth it. His appetite has also improved lately. Best thing I have heard all year - 'Mama, I'm so happy I don't care where things go any more.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1494227933966490/] And an update, two years later... “He’s still doing well. The severe OCD, constant crankiness and rages never returned. He does backslide a bit during pollen season where we live - a touch of OCD, some anger and crying over little things. As soon as he's done crying, he's himself. This happens a few times a week during pollen season. So still way, way better than he was before helminths.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1469185616470722/?comment_id=2384367651619176&reply_comment_id=2385235008199107]

* “My son’s PANDAS was essentially cured in six weeks after inoculation with NA. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1469185616470722/?comment_id=2389019767820631] He was five years old. He had intense separation anxiety, palilalia, verbal tics, obsessive destructive tendencies taking things apart, chewing holes in his clothing multiple times per day, not eating, attacks of enuresis of wetting his pants uncontrollably, not being able to sleep. He couldn’t go alone into any room in our house. We had to have all the lights on 24 hours per day. He would ask me, “Mama, where are you?” hundreds of times a day when I had not moved. He could only sleep lying on top of my body. This was on amoxicillin for five straight months. Off of it, he was worse.

* “Omg, my PANDAS son is infected with strep and he's NOT in a full on flare! This is HUGE. In the past when he's been infected, I know it before the doctors do. His behaviors go off the charts, and we start thinking things like maybe he needs to go to a mental institution for treatment. This time, his behaviors have increased slightly, and I was honestly thinking that maybe the HDC wasn't effective for him and this was a sign of that. Instead, he's been fighting the infection and only slightly worsened. I am hopeful for the first time in a long time!” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2641427349246537/] (Also see this [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2445510625504878/ support group thread] about the same boy.)

* “My son, who is 15, is on the autism spectrum, is gay, overweight, fatigued, depressed, and has PANDAS/POTS and OCD, along with mast cell and allergy issues. The list is long! He started using helminths to treat the PANDAS. The first dose was 5 NA in November 2019, then a second dose of 5 in May 2020. He has always struggled with being awkward and different, and had difficulty expressing what he was feeling, but I didn’t realise just how severely depressed he had become. When he told me how much he had hated himself for so long, it broke my heart. His anxiety was off the charts. He said he was suicidal. Fortunately, a month on helminths has cleared his brain. He wakes up early now, and has lost 15 lbs. It’s like night and day, like a switch turned off and his inflammation is gone, and I am so thankful for this. I wish I had given NA to him 5 years ago. He's doing so great on them. Helminths have literally saved his life.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3419265288129402/]

* “HDC (I take 10 every three weeks) have a positive impact on my mood. My case may be different from others, but... PANS is what leads to my low mood. In PANS, autoantibodies attach to dopamine and glutamate receptors in the basal ganglia, which blocks their transmission in normal amounts. I think my good mood when I take HDC is likely because it helps whatever is leading to those autoantibodies being in the wrong place (my basal ganglia receptors), so more dopamine and glutamate can reach their proper destination. Not sure if these mechanics apply to many other disorders, though.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2296657347056874/?comment_id=2334347929954482&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D] (There's more about this individual on her blog, [https://web.archive.org/web/20230513003041/https://mysymbiontjourney.wordpress.com/ Old Friends].)

:* [[Hookworms treat anaphylaxis and salicylate intolerance in a 5-year-old | '''Hookworms treat anaphylaxis and salicylate intolerance in a 5-year-old''']]

* "Should anyone ever wonder if hookworm (NA) can help with salicylate sensitivity, in my case I think it’s doing exactly that... Last night I tried eating a boiled carrot, since they are high in salicylates, and barely reacted. This morning I’m sipping a cup of organic coffee (also pretty high on the scale) and enjoying it. None of this would have been possible a month ago!" [http://gettinghealthiernow.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/hookworm-only-starting-over/]

* "Her reactions to salicylate were eczema and very depressive mood swings. She was always crying… It's now 7 months since we started the therapy (with NA) and we are already seeing a good reduction in her salicylate intolerance. She is eating high-salicylate foods in greater amounts, like tomato sauce, mandarins, grapes, broccoli, nectarines, tinned salmon and lemonade ice poles, with no reaction. Her stomach aches have also now gone and so has her eczema… We tried many different alternative therapies in the past… nothing has really worked until now… and people who haven't seen our daughter for a while are surprised by how different she is now."

* "In the past I had serious problems with histamine and salicylates… Since hosting a bunch of hookworms (NA) I was able to gradually reintroduce all foods that previously made me sick."

Thanks to everyone here & hope you all have a wonderful 2015, I know I will!“ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/767179966671294/]

* “I am a long time coeliac (im 52 years old). When I hit 45 my stomach took a big dive for the worse. I ended up allergic to salicylates and an inability to digest flour except for Quinoa. Symptoms were extreme muscle soreness and extreme lethargy. Also anxiety and depression. Enter helminths (HDC). They dramatically reduced my reactions to salicylates, cured the anxiety. Didn't do so much for the carbs intolerance though. When I had been on them for a year I went off them. I deteriorated quickly. Will never go off them again. I cant live without them. I take 140 of em every 3 weeks.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1475611862494764/] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1475611862494764/?comment_id=1475697559152861&reply_comment_id=1475761375813146&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R2%22%7D]

===Sacroiliitis===

* “I have sacroiliitis and have taken NA since 2016. I have not taken anti inflammatory pharmaceuticals. Generally I can see an improvement, right now I have the flu which tends to reduce their effectiveness.” (Comment posted in April 2019) [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2114280641961213/?comment_id=2114730521916225&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

(Also known as Besnier–Boeck–Schaumann disease)

* "My nephew who is 30 and has had lumps in his neck and jaw since childhood and diagnosed with sarcoidosis in the lungs on CT scan took 4 NA. Lumps in jaw area have disappeared and neck lumps halved in size. He reports less wheezy and much more energy." (Link expired)

* "I am in remission for sarcoidosis. I was on Prednisone and was able to come off it, thank goodness. My husband now seems to recognise when I need a top up (of helminths) and then I get one and can enjoy life again. Totally recommend it for sarcoidosis."

=== Sciatica ===
* “I had sciatica (for 27 years) and, at 7 months (post-inoculation with NA), the pain from rotating and numbness in leg ceased.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2114280641961213/?comment_id=2114803621908915&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]
::And an update, nine months later:
::“Since starting HT I have had remission of sciatic pain from movement though there still is the L3-L4 narrowing which is there for good. My previous history was a tweaked sciatic. Was bed ridden for weeks, and a month to two months for pain to subside. A week ago I tweaked the nerve as bad as I every have, leaving me unable to move (bed to upright was a 5 minute process). I took 15mg prednisone and 30mg codeine and two hrs later this only marginally relieved the pain. My initial response was to get a two week supply of the above drugs for my recovery so my expectation based on severity was a long one. At about fours hours, I was walking and getting up carefully in 10 seconds. It was like all the inflammation dropped away though still reactive to rotational factors. I did not take any more drugs and, at a week, I feel completely normal again! I cannot explain this other than helminths.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2619124714810134/]

* “The best thing I’ve found so far (8 months into using NA to treat ankylosing spondylitis) is that I haven’t had a single flair up of sciatica since I started taking helminths.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2391605270895414/?comment_id=2397347986987809]

* "I have seen 3 surgeons. All 3 said l require-a triple fusion (to treat lower back pain) and that the surgery would result in me still being in pain. Prior to NA, l frequently spent up to 21 hours a day in Zero G Position in bed. l couldn’t walk, stand or sit for excruciating pain for more than 3 hours. I Started 11 months ago with 3 NA, and micro-dosing has been the key for me. My results from NA would start wearing off at 8 weeks, so I now dose every 6 weeks, and I’m still increasing the dosage, using my lungs as my barometer. My most recent dose was 5 NA, and the next dose will be 6 NA.
:* NO more horrendous nightly asthma.
:* NO fibromyalgia pain.
:* NO more lower back pain.
:* NO inflammatory pain.
:* NO more sciatica.
:I can now go for a walk and carry shopping, and I can say yes to invitations. I feel so good I’m booking a ski trip to Switzerland and Austria." (Edited from [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/24514461291516495/ this post])

One of the most debilitating symptoms of SIBO for me has been high blood pressure spikes and rapid pulse, plus insomnia. With hookworm on board I’m feeling much better in this regard. If anything, my BP is on the lower side of normal. My face has also cleared up, brain fog is greatly improved, and i have more energy.”

* “I have already tried antibiotics (including rifaximin and neomycin) to no avail. HT, FMT and dietary changes have been most effective so far for me. NA have greatly improved my quality of life.

=== Stress ===

* “I've lost that 'tired but wired' feeling that stopped me relaxing properly, and I've started to sleep better. I get less stressed by ordinary events, and almost never use my inhalers any more." (Reported in a private discussion, Feb 2013)

* “My hookworms came, I put them on a bandaid, and applied them to my skin. My reaction was immediate and intense. Any feeling of stress that I felt went away - completely. I was stressed from my son being sick, but I also had other normal stresses; and they all went away too. I could look at the same situation, and I could not feel stressed about it.” (Link deleted)

* “Last night we went to a business dinner for my husband's work and for the first time in many years… I was able to drink wine, eat almost normally and enjoy myself rather than feeling stressed. All of this is thanks to HW.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/829393617116595/]

=== Tendinopathy (tendinitis / tendonitis) ===

* "With my husband’s first attack (of tendonitis), the doctor said it's probably nothing. With the second, he said if he gets a third attack odds are it will be permanent. Well, he hasn't needed the crutch for his hands in 6 months and he's been on NA for 8 months. It never even clicked that it could be autoimmune (the doc didn't say so either). His issue was small, he only had two fingers on each hand that were prone to this, off and on, but the doctor wasn't optimistic after having had so many 'attacks'. Especially since his father has it too on his wrist." [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/4847022252020358?comment_id=4850971704958746]

=== Testicular atrophy ===

* “One positive sign I have not mentioned thus far has to do with my passionate parts. Yes, my wobblies. For several years, I have noticed that my testicles were getting smaller and lighter. I did not like it, but wrote it off as a natural consequence of aging. Almost immediately, after I began taking worms (HDC), this situation began to reverse. My testicles began to grow and grow, getting heavier, and heavier. Now, I haven’t been weighing them on the bathroom scale, and keeping a chart of their progress, mind you. It’s just something a feller notices. Anyway, now they are a normal size, like when I was younger, my “reproductive health” has increased significantly. Quite interesting.

* “I have a case which I think is a first for helminth therapy. The case is a young man in his twenties who suffered from Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), and whose family became so desperate they decided to try (HT). After a dose of 10 NA, all symptoms started to disappear after just 3 weeks. He is totally in remission and has not had to re-dose at this stage.

I just graduated from a graduate program in May 2012 and I'm starting a new career. It would not have been possible without this treatment. HT gave me my life back.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* "I suffered from a serious case of UC… I've been hospitalized several times with serious bleeding and infection, the doctors told me to evaluate surgery if it ever flared up again. After starting HT (human whipworms) my UC is completely gone, so is my asthma, and my allergies and hypoglycemia as well. I still can't believe it. It actually started working 2 weeks into therapy after the first dose (improvement in pain/stool/stomach activity/rumbling etc.) so I feel like it's a miracle… It's so nice to able to live again!

At some points during the last six years I've had to recieve iron infusions because my iron levels were so low, but now my iron is actually on the high side of normal.

I keep adding 10 NA every 4 months and that seems to be working out. No side effects aside from inoculation rash. I think NA helps tamp down inflammation overall and gives the TTO a chance to take hold. I think NA helps with stool formation while TTO heals colon ulcers, thus stopping blood and mucus loss, restoring gut wall. Not taking any other meds.

I used to eat strict Paleo but now I eat 80% really clean and the other 20% I don’t worry as much about. Last night I had vodka, beer, bread, and a donut at my friends wedding. I’m fine today. Crohns Colitis really doesn’t impact my life anymore. Last colonoscopy was basically squeaky clean and my doc is ok with me going off all meds in March if nothing changes.” (Edited from two posts: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1634529973269618/?comment_id=1634673803255235&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2511716132217660/?comment_id=251236592215268])

* “At my worst flare, I had 15 ulcers in my colon. None of my colon was functioning, it was just trying to survive the attack from my immune system. The HDC was remarkable! My response to them convinced me to try the NA and TSO. My first colony of NA did not survive my immune response. However, the TSO was like a miracle drug. I felt better almost after the first dose. TSO really help when a flare is coming on. I calmed 2 flares using those. After taking the TSO for a year, I have decided to give the NA another try because the cost of the TSO is not sustainable for me.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1852697221452891&reply_comment_id=1852719821450631&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R4%22%7D]

I have had this illness since I was 12 and, till 24, I have been having scopes yearly or every 2 years at max and they always always have shown either mild, moderate or severe inflammation. At my worst, I was recommended to take Humira/ Remicade due to severe illness that put me out for about 2 years. I refused it and was on the verge of total collectomy… Before I started Hookworms, I was at the beginning of a relapse and had pain, nausea, cramping, diarrhea and constipation alternating each other and a lot of fatigue etc. After my first dose - 3 weeks into - I started to feel a positive difference and it's been upwards since then.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1868023383253608/] “UPDATE: I went in to my doctor today (and) what shocked me and my doctor are my biopsy results.

Sores in my mouth, on my eyelids, fatigue mental and physical. Extreme food sensitivity, emotional distress as a result.

I am now on (human) whipworm and hookworm and have a completely different quality of life. I can go biking, skiing, skateboarding, backpacking... All sorts of different activities that I couldn’t do beforehand. I can eat a great variety of foods and even cheat a little bit on my anti-inflammatory diet. I stay away from gluten, soy, dairy, and eggs. But I can cheat on the gluten soy and eggs with minimal digestive rumblings. The greatest benefit has been to my anxiety about daily life.

* “I am 40 years old and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 20 years ago. About five years ago, my gastroenterologist wanted to start discussions about removing a portion of my colon because of several precancerous polyps found during a colonoscopy. Not long after that, I started HT with 50 HDC every 2 weeks, and have continued that regime for the last 5 years. I started seeing improvements almost immediately. The day after my first dose I had fewer urges to go to the bathroom and, after a week or two, I had no more blood in my stool. I also take TTO at about 600 ova every year, 50 bi-weekly until I have taken all 600, or about 12 weeks. I’ve done that every year(ish) for the last 4-5 years. I have achieved 5-6 years of remission, and I am 100% better today compared to before I started taking helminths. My gastroenterologist was skeptical until he had confirmation through a colonoscopy. I've since had other colonoscopies and still found to be in remission.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2800049873384283/]

I was able to get back on an unrestricted diet 40 days after inoculation. I had known about hookworms for years as a treatment for IBD but it took the real possibility of bowel surgery in my near future to push me to pull the trigger.

But this guy came to see me and he said, "Look, I read an article you wrote about helminths. I want to try helminths." He wasn't interested in any of my other stuff, which is fine. And so we did. Now, for him, we gave him Necator americanus and Trichuris trichiura. Well, I love that combo actually. So we didn't have that to tease out because he got both at once, but six months later, he came to me and he said, "I feel like I want to cry because I'm just completely better. And if I just known about this 20 years ago, I would've had such a different life maybe at this point." But he was very, very thrilled to finally, finally be in remission for the first time in decades. So that was great."

Food intolerance produces adverse reactions, often delayed, to foods, beverages, food additives and other compounds found in foods that produce symptoms in one or more body systems or organs, but generally refers to reactions other than food allergy. The term, "food hypersensitivity" is used to refer broadly to both food intolerance and food allergy. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25471897/]

Food intolerance can be the result of an absence of specific chemicals or enzymes needed to digest a food substance, as in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_fructose_intolerance hereditary fructose intolerance]. It may also be a result of an abnormality in the body's ability to absorb nutrients, as occurs in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption fructose malabsorption], and food intolerance reactions can be triggered by naturally occurring chemicals in foods, as in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicylate_sensitivity salicylate sensitivity]. Drugs sourced from plants, such as aspirin, can also cause these kinds of reactions.

For much more detail about food intolerance, including causes, symptoms, diagnosis, management and prevention, see the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_intolerance Wikipedia page about this condition].

None of this would have been possible a month ago!" [http://gettinghealthiernow.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/hookworm-only-starting-over/]

* “just to explain how dramatic my relief from food intolerance is, back in mid-february i tried to eat lamb and had such a bad reaction my throat was tightening up for the entire rest of the night, my mind felt muddled, anxious. my breathing was affected, mostly nasal congestion. but it was miserable. and tonight i ate two pieces of lamb with no reaction at all. in fact, it tasted delicious. i am beginning to feel like a normal person again.” (Reported in a private discussion, Apr 2012)

* "I suffer from a massive food intolerance with IBD symptoms. I was not able to gain weight for years independent how much I did eat. Now for the first time since years I was able to gain some weight and overall feel better (and) I am able to do some sports again. Honestly I thought I am a non-responder for a long time – I just kept on waiting and trying to be patient. It was worth waiting for – I am getting better – slowly but the success is becoming more and more visible. The decision to go on HT was surely the best of my life – as there was really nothing else that ever seemed to help me." (Reported in a private message, Jun 2012)

* "I have had food intolerances/allergies for years due to crohn's and general poor gut/digestive function. I've always reacted to many foods and seriously to all grains, in any form, as well as anything with lactose or sugar. My gut has been greatly improved by helminthic therapy and my diet has expended, so I thought it was time to check for food sensitivities... I tested for sensitivity (the blood test measured IgG antibody, food antigens) to grains, legumes, nuts, meat, fowl, dairy, fruits, vegetables, fish, Mollusk, Crustacea, Miscellaneous items such as honey, chocolate, coffee, and yeasts. Out of the 100 items tested I showed a single "moderate level 3 reaction" on a scale from I to 6." (Reported to the Facebook Helminthic Therapy Support Group, Jul 2012)

* "It's been over a year with HW… I feel the HW has helped me but not for the problems that were of greatest concern. My environmental sensitivities seem to have greatly improved. I can now handle scented products much much better than in the past. The HW also had a fairly dramatic effect on my anxiety levels. However, my food intolerances and related pain/inflammation in my muscles and joints are as bad as ever. I did add one food during the year (liver) and it went down ok for about a month, then I stopped tolerating it. I also dropped one food (Basa) and can only eat BC Red Snapper as a protein source now. Overall I'm glad I inoculated as it has provided benefit, just not the degree of benefit I was hoping for." (Reported to a closed group, Aug 2013)

* ☹️ “I have food intolerances and multiple chemical sensitivity and I didn't benefit from helminthic therapy… My lack of success with helminths might be due to liver issues as a root cause for my diseases (mutations in several of the genes CYP450 and some fluctuating liver numbers).” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/599758136746812/?comment_id=599824556740170&offset=0&total_comments=33]

Now, ~3 months after my initial relief, I am still 100% in remission and I still have no digestive issues.” (Reported to the Facebook Helminthic Therapy Support group.)

* “A family member had been on TSO for 22 weeks at dose of 1000 ova. Helped greatly w food reactions (along w SCD diet and other interventions). However still reacted - in a more minor fashion. We have recently raised dose of TSO up to 2500. 2 doses so far at that dose and now no traces of food reactions. Ate 2 trigger foods today - still no reaction. Truly amazing. This person had 0 safe foods in December. This is awesome!” (Reported to a closed group, Jul 2014)

* ☹️ "… I’m on HDC and they do not seem to help with food reactions sadly, i was ready to run for a 1kg bar of chocolate in the name of science!" (Reported to a closed group, Jul 2014)

* The following three reports are by the same person.
** “I'm in the early stages - just had my second dose - so three months in. I started trying to reintroduce foods at 10 weeks and have had great success. Some I will have to come back to later when I have a larger colony, but I have increased from being able to eat only 26 food stuffs to 35 so far in just a couple of weeks. You can imagine how excited I am.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/736007013121923/?comment_id=736078299781461&offset=0&total_comments=5]
** “Three weeks post my second hookworm dose and I can honestly say I have not felt so well in years. Not only have my food intolerances significantly declined, but I feel happier, healthier and the future is very exciting. This therapy is amazing.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/740770115978946/]
** "I had to share my excitement - last night we went to a business dinner for my husband's work and for the first time in many years I could provide a simple list of what I could not eat, rather than a very short list of what I could. I had a relatively normal 3 course meal and no one asked me why I was eating so little. I didn't feel different or embarrassed. I was able to drink wine, eat almost normally and enjoy myself rather than feeling stressed. All of this is thanks to HW.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/829393617116595/]

* “At six and half months in (25-25-40 HW) I am just short of claiming success for multiple food intolerances, likely leaky gut and a host of other related symptoms. I couldn't eat gluten or dairy without debilitating symptoms and had been GF DF for 7 plus years. For the past three weeks I have eaten anything I wanted for one meal a day without the terrible symptoms I have experienced all my life.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/749286021794022/] And “I can tolerate beer better with HW.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/848418981880725/?comment_id=848501681872455&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22:%22R9%22%7D]

* “The hookworms have cut my food sensitivities by at least 50% in 3.5 months.” (Link expired)

* “I inoculated with 30 HW in November, and since mid-March I've had great success with FODMAP foods. I've been able to have things like bread, garlic and avocados that I so dearly missed! I'm still not to my desired number of helminths yet, but even with only ~43 I don't feel any pain after eating FODMAP foods.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/876801635709126/?comment_id=877151842340772&offset=0&total_comments=5&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22:%22R%22%7D]

* “I had Blastocystis approx 5 years before it was discovered. I was down to eating meat, rice sugar and pistachio nuts. I received the 'triple treatment’ through Dr Froomes in Melbourne, and I made good recovery until several months later I took antibiotics and my nightmare began. I started reacting to a lot of foods… I started with hook worms 17 weeks ago. My Intestinal condition gradually deteriorated over the next three months… and I had to give up certain varieties of rice. I lost over 15 kgs and … suffered from endless nausea and dizzy spells because my blood pressure was so low. Three weeks ago I got another batch of hookworms… And now at 18 weeks I can eat lots of food I haven't been able to eat in years.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/915392701850019/]

* “I have had numerous food intolerances as well as sensitivities to most chemicals for 45 years. I was malnourished too. It will be 2 years (next month) with hookworms. Improvements include reduced sensitivities to many foods and chemicals, loss of addiction to sugars and chocolates. Increased energy and reduced anxiety. It hasn't totally removed food and chemical sensitivities but tolerance has improved…” (Link expired)

* “Near-total FODMAP intolerance (from age 17 to 22), and general weak digestion. Alcohol sucks, Coffee sucks, etc. Totally fucked up my life when it hit me like a train. I dropped out of school and was depressed for a seven month period, at the beginning and end of which I was suicidal. Daily diarrhea for years… Symptom relief can be largely achieved by adherence to a low-FODMAP diet. I self-infected 25 hookworm (and) began to experience symptom relief (after) about 2.75-3.0 months… I have lately not been following a FODMAP diet, nor have I been taking probiotics at all, and my issues are extremely minor.” [http://pastebin.com/raw/1fHvWHTc]

* “My daughter can eat more and more foods the longer she hosts (hookworms). Her gut is less and less leaky. She could tolerate no dairy before hosting, absolutely nothing. Now she can eat ice cream without it bothering her.” (Link expired)

* “I inoculated with 25 NA hookworms around October of 2015. And since beginning of May, I have been able to add apples into my diet - something I couldn't tolerate at all. I have been mostly on a low FODMAP diet for over a year - and a Paleo diet before that. I couldn't eat apples for about 2 years and being able to eat them again is a remarkable achievement.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1014465525276069/]

* “Food intolerance and irritable bowel for 16 years. It had been gradually getting worse as time went by to the point where it was impossible to lead a normal life. It was almost impossible to eat out or go to friends houses to eat. When we went on holiday we would have to get an apartment with a kitchen so I could cook my own food, and I took my own food anytime we went out. I was following a low chemical, low fodmap diet, very restricted with what I ate. All the doctors I have seen over the years had no answers for me and just said to stay on my diet. It has taken time but I am able to eat much more now and can eat out now without having to question them about everything they use to cook the meal. We have also just traveled to Germany, something that would have been nearly impossible a year ago… Just being able to relax my diet is wonderful, my doctor has also been converted, he was horrified when I first told him.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1163802033675750/?comment_id=1166108690111751&reply_comment_id=1166182883437665&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22:%22R%22%7D]

* ☹️ “I tried it to deal with food intolerances (not allergies, no anaphylaxis) that result from enzyme imbalances. Hookworm didn't help.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1165603583495595/?comment_id=1166945713361382&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22:%22R%22%7D]

* "I had to do Low FODMAP AIP for a long time. It sucked, but I really needed to do it. I (was) able to tolerate FODMAPs since a couple months after my first NA dose. After a year and a half of HT, I can eat almost anything except for most of the nightshades. Most people would consider avoiding nightshades to be a huge ask, but if it gets down to ONLY that, we're talking a massive improvement!"

* “I’ve been taking 20 hdc regularly every two weeks for nearly a year and I'm introducing foods I couldn't tolerate before, where I'd become constipated and break out in spots on my face and body. I've been taking the odd scary food once in a while, with little to no adverse reaction. Then more recently over Christmas I only had a mild reaction to herbs (in stuffing). Only last Wednesday I had a curry with practically no reaction... I'm getting braver, but cautious.” (Link expired)

* ☹️ “I've had hookworms for a couple of years and have to say, it didn't help my food intolerances. However, my hay fever was amazingly cured. I don't regret trying them at all and happy to know that overall inflammatory processes in my body are more controlled.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1674215795967702/?comment_id=1674297455959536&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “After years of food sensitivities, I was down to six foods I could eat (totally plain meat, sweet potato, kiwifruit, banana, parsnip and carrot). I definitely had to avoid all grains, dairy, eggs and the nighshade family of vegetables. But then I inoculated with NA about 18 mths ago and yesterday... get this... I ate a wheat bun with ham, egg, salad and mayonnaise, with milk chocolate to follow.. and no problems. I love my little pretties!” (Link expired)

* “I inoculated with 7 NA (11 weeks ago), also using TSO. I recently noticed some improvements in food tolerance - was able to eat high Fodmap foods such as soy milk, onions, garlic, beans.

* “I finished a course of TSO (4 months ago)… I had to be very careful with diet and couldn't eat much fiber (fruit, vegetables) or gluten and eggs. It worked like a charm and since then (6 months) I've been able to eat donuts, cake, beer, etc. with zero issues… I am frankly just so overjoyed to be able to have raw fruits and vegetables, baked goods, beer again... anything else is just gravy.

* ☹️ I've decided to concede defeat on using hookworms for Total Food Intolerance caused by blastocystis. It has helped my hayfever sinus issues, but I’m still pretty much at the same place I was over three years ago (with the food intolerance).

* “I have Hashimoto’s, extreme food sensitivities/intolerance including reactions to oxalate and histamine, migraines, depression and anxiety, and other autoimmune symptoms that have almost completely been eliminated by NA. It’s been the closest thing to a miracle that I’ve ever experienced. I had found that I could sort of function on the AIP diet, but even then many of the foods caused reactions. I had tried every drug, herb, therapy and nothing really helped until I did NA... NA has been a godsend. It took a while but I slowly added almost all foods back into my diet including gluten, eggs, nuts, nightshades, dairy and grains. It took almost a year to get to this point.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3028113193911282/?comment_id=3029321047123830] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3368291999893398?comment_id=3381862891869642] 

* “Whenever I ate dark chocolate, the end and underside of my nose would go red, then within a day or two break out in blisters and pimples. I tested this many times as I couldn't find any other complaints like this online. Five weeks into my NA adventure and, like a fool, I ate a big chunk of dark chocolate. Nothing... no redness, no blisters!” (Link expired)

I've been to Italy and have been eating gluten and all sorts of other things. No adverse reactions. I'm feeling absolutely great. I've been (very) gradually working my way up and now ordered 10 NA.

* "After two yrs on very low dose TSO, I have *two* major food gains. I have spent over 40 years on an extremely restricted food regimen. Some of this has been post-viral syndrome-triggered immune-mediated food sensitivities. Some of it is likely lifelong hEDS-and-MCAS-triggered gut reactivity. Some is low FODMAP. But on this restricted food list I had only a few low carb green vegetables, a few roots, and for protein, red mammal meat only. This exposed me to histamine which can increase inflammation nonspecifically. No spices, dairy, beans/seeds, nightshades. A number of months after starting TSO I tolerated cooked chicken, and a year later I started testing eggs. I do totally tolerate both these foods. [Cheese has been partial tolerance only.]… So I've gone from being an extremely MCS, fragrance-sensitive food-sensitive person isolated at home, to being someone who can leave the house and travel a bit… Not all this benefit is due to TSO. EPD/LDA allergy shots also made a lot of difference, Lyme disease treatment has, LDN has, and diet of course." [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/24683304134632209/]

|og:image=[[File:wiki.png]]}}
This page contains hundreds of anecdotal reports of both success and failure with helminthic therapy using one or more of the following therapeutic helminths.

* the human hookworm, Necator americanus (NA)
* the human whipworm, Trichuris trichiura (TT)
* the ova of the pig whipworm, Trichuris suis (TSO)
* the cysticercoids of the rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta (HDC).

There are also links below to pages dedicated to specific conditions, where there are hundreds more reports contributing to well over 1,000 personal stories in total on this site.

Most of the reports have been collected from social media, in particular from the [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/ Helminthic Therapy Support group].

{{Quote|indent}}The Helminthic therapy personal stories is my fave bit of the wiki! Reading THOUSANDS of testimonials. This in itself will raise your vibe 🌟🙌🥳. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3507548385967758/?comment_id=3507659949289935&reply_comment_id=3507689805953616]{{Quote|/indent}}

There are many thousands of people already self-treating with helminths, and approximately 75% of these are estimated to experience an improvement in their health. [http://www.yourwildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/galley-proof-v2.pdf] This overall response rate is particularly impressive given that most people who use this therapy have already tried every other treatment that is available for their condition.

The fact that many of these individuals have taken the time to report their experience is also amazing, for two reasons. Firstly, because many people are keen to hide the fact that they are hosting “worms” and some are not even prepared to divulge this fact to close family members so never report their experience. Secondly, the majority of those who get well as a result of using helminthic therapy can’t wait to resume the life that their illness had put on hold, so they very quickly lose interest in relating their stories online.

{{Quote|indent}}I am doing fantastic so my level of activity on forums has waned. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/631572663565359/?comment_id=1201135169942436&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22:%22R%22%7D]{{Quote|/indent}}

While there are a few failures listed among the reports below (identified by a frown emoji: ☹️), the individuals who reported these did not always follow best practice and, in some cases, had terminated the treatment before any improvements could have been expected. Since it is known that, for a few people, remission may not be achieved for up to 2 years following the first inoculation with helminths, the treatment cannot be assumed to have failed until that point.

Where people have described their success with several conditions in a single report, this has been duplicated so that it appears in each of the appropriate sections on this page.

* “I can't believe it's been almost a year since we got inoculated with hookworm. My only regret is that personally I didn't start hosting hookworm twenty years ago (or more!) Our entire family is so much better off. It's amazing to see my son run up to school from the end of the block on his own when at the beginning of the school year, he was almost paralyzed by panic attacks from PANDAS, a disease for which there is basically no treatment or cure aside from antibiotic administration until adulthood. My daughter had her best and most challenging school year ever and has made a best friend. My husband, too, only wishes he had gotten hookworm over a decade ago because of how much more productive and happier he is.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* “I put my whole family on helminths. When my son was 2 he was diagnosed with a rare type of autoimmune Nephrotic Syndrome. He is also IgE allergic to 8 foods and IgG allergic to about 12 more. He suffers from terrible eczema and he is on lots of medication including Cyclosporine for his kidneys. When he was around 9, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and they wanted to put him on Remicade infusion. I couldn’t take it anymore and went looking for alternatives. When I heard about helminths I had no doubt that I wanted this. My other son has food sensitivities and gets cyclical headaches every month with vomiting, and my husband has suffered with Crohn’s since his teens. Me, I’ve always felt healthy enough.

:"My children both got 5 hookworms and my husband and I got 20 each. Let me tell you that the Bounce my husband and I felt was AMAZING!

:"Long story short, my husband is “cured” of Crohns. His symptoms and inflammation are gone and he feels and looks younger. My autoimmune kid is also cured of his Crohns!!! No Remicade!!! His severe allergies turned to sensitivities. We still struggle with his kidneys but I believe he’s doing better overall due to hookworms. I lost weight that I’d struggled with for years, and it turns out it was just inflammation.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3544168688972394/]

== Expressions of regret for having delayed treatment ==

Many people have commented that they wish they had tried helminthic therapy sooner than they did. A few of these comments are presented below.

* “I only regret not doing it two years ago when I first heard of helminthic therapy and I thought it was just crazy.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1068326963223258/?comment_id=1068347489887872&reply_comment_id=1068355509887070&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D]

* “I was 19 years old when diagnosed with pancolitis. I have tried everything with minimal if any relief from my symptoms. I'm 6 weeks in hosting human hookworm (NA) and I can't tell you how much i wish I had done this sooner.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1853108804745066&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I wish I hadn't waited so long. I've tried diet, I've seen several functional medicine doctors (and followed their protocols), and I've seen some of the best rheumatologists (and ophthalmologists) in Virginia, at Duke in North Carolina, and at Johns Hopkins in Maryland. None of them could offer me anything, really. I never thought I would purposefully inoculate myself with a helminth, but for the first time, I am actually excited at the prospect of getting better.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1853270628062217&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I spent ungodly amounts of money over the past several years working with elite functional medicine docs. And I eventually came to the conclusion it wasn’t going to work for me… Now I’m 7 months in with NA and I’ve had no blood or symptoms of Colitis for 3 months… After all the time and money, I wish I just started Helminthic therapy 6 years ago and only changed my diet.

* “My son also has pancolitis and we are 7 months into helminth therapy. We have had a very smooth journey on TTO with really no side effects or worsening of symptoms, we are getting blood results back today and heading for a colonoscopy soon so will be able to see how things are going.

* “A classmate of mine mentioned this therapy to me (four years ago).

== Expression of regret for terminating treatment ==

When people who are hosting helminths develop new symptoms, or an old or existing condition flares, their worms are often the first factor to fall under suspicion. In most cases where this leads to termination of a colony of human helminths, this step is later regretted when the actual cause of the symptoms is discovered and the self-treater experiences a return of the disease symptoms that their worms had been controlling. The individual will then also face a prolonged wait for a new colony to mature and reestablish immune balance.

Also see the following page.

* [[Hookworm side effects#Symptoms experienced after inoculation are not always worm side-effects | '''Symptoms experienced after inoculation are not always worm side-effects''']]

In some cases, a misguided doctor may insist that a therapeutic helminth colony is terminated before they prescribe immunosuppressive treatment. Doctors are aware of drug manufacturers’ advice that, before patients are given immunosuppressant drugs - for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupilumab dupilumab] (Dupixent) - any helminth infection should be terminated. This advice is to prevent immunosuppression by the drug from supporting the proliferation of ''pathogenic'' helminths, so does not apply to NA, TTO or TSO because these species cannot proliferate within a host. It is, however, advisable for anyone using HDCs to stop taking this species while on immunosuppressants. [http://biomerestoration.com/faqs/]

Whichever of the above reasons prompts termination of a colony of therapeutic helminths, the result is invariably regret for this action.

{{Quote|indent}}When I first got sick they (hookworms) helped me... but then my rheumatologist wanted them gone while I started azathioprine and steroids... I should have never done it because the day after they disappeared I have horrible widespread pain, a massive tooth infection, started vomiting from the azathioprine (worms were protecting) and now I have pancreatitis from that death med, a horrible goo coming out of my vagina, a chest infection, a yellow tongue and liver enzymes through the roof... I regret listening to my idiot rheumatologist... and since my mast cells are so bad I have not been able to tolerate getting them back. Which I am furious about as I have gotten so much sicker.

=== Acne ===

=== Actinic keratosis ===

* “A friend of mine has precancerous skin conditions on his head. They have been very crusty and large and have been there for years. After 120 days with six Na, these lesions on his head have stopped crusting up, have a smooth appearance and are shrinking.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2448496698539604/] (There are photos at this link.)

=== Addison’s disease / Primary adrenal insufficiency / Hypocortisolism ===

* “For myself and a friend with Addison’s, HDC has been very helpful.” (Link expired)

* “Before hw, I had pain in my kidney area after any stress - sometimes quite debilitating levels… My adrenal autoantibodies were somewhat high - just within the range of official (Addison’s) diagnosis. And my cortisol levels were crazy - super high in the middle of the night and low during the day (which I'm told is typical as the adrenals start to fail.) I started an Autoimmmune Protocol diet a few months before starting HT, and I believe that helped. But I still had symptoms - in particular the pain over my kidneys anytime I was startled or stressed - until about 1.5 years into hw treatment. Had my adrenal autoantibodies tested about 20 months after starting HT, and they were at zero. And my cortisol levels are normal now. So I think diet helped… but I give most of the credit to my little hw buddies.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1376977685691516/?comment_id=1377606702295281&reply_comment_id=1378727892183162&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R2%22%7D] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1376977685691516/?comment_id=1377606702295281&reply_comment_id=1378751412180810&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R1%22%7D]

=== Adhesions ===

* "... since hosting my helminths... the pain from my adhesions has been considerably less." (Link expired)

* “Because of adhesions, I used to have a lot of cramping and often loose stools. That has, astonishingly, completely normalised. There are many adhesions (as a result of a Cesarean section). The most severe ones appear to be on my right colon, a little higher than my appendix. In some MRIs it looked like there might be an invagination caused by the adhesions, which comes and goes. That is also the area where it hurts all the time, so it makes sense to me.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2555376637851609/?comment_id=2732330813489523] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2555376637851609/?comment_id=2732330813489523&reply_comment_id=2733415233381081]

=== Adrenal fatigue ===

* “According to my doctor my adrenal fatigue was related to fibromyalgia. After 9 months and 45 HWs later I have stopped taking hydrocort, stopped with all sleeping medications, and am getting ready to stop the cortisol supplement. I am waking up with more energy, going to sleep naturally, and not crashing during the day. I credit the HWs with this improvement after suffering for more than 6 years and trying many different treatments with no improvement. I also suffer from many other issues and my energy levels are still low but this improvement for me is huge.” (Reported to the Helminthic Therapy Support group. Post now deleted.)

(Also known as aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD))

* The following two reports are by the same person, two years apart.
** "My father… has something called Samter's syndrome which includes nasal polyps, chronic rhinitis, and aspirin sensitivity. For 20-25 years, he had little senses of taste or smell, from polyps on his sinus nerve, and had multiple surgeries to remove them. Starting about 6 months after getting HW (by then, he had about 50, I think), the polyps went away, never to return. He's had his taste and smell all the time, acutely, for now a good 3½ years." (Reported in a private discussion, Mar 2012)
** “Now he is getting the same efficacy from HDC.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/263818550462551/permalink/265373996973673/]

* "Wow this is amazing! I was diagnosed with Samters Triad / Aspirin Exaccerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD) in Oct 2014. Samters Triad is salicylate intolerance, nasal polyps and asthma… I decided to give HW a go in Jul 2015. My initial dose was 25. After 3 months I noticed I could get away with the odd glass of wine without an anti-histamine. In Oct I took a further 40 HW. Then suddenly about 10 days ago (mid January 2016) my nose cleared, and my energy levels escalated. I started cutting back my asthma medication and have taken nothing at all for 4 days now with no symptoms!” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/946052288784060/]

* “I have AERD (Samter's Triad). Asthma, nasal polyps, and aspirin sensitivity. I've taken incredible amounts of prednisone to control the polyps and have had two surgeries to remove them over the last ten years… Started worms a few years ago. Initially HDC, which worked well and would provide relief for weeks. Made the move to NA and have had similar success there, it just lasts longer. I see improvement with as little as 30 NA, but get better control with 60-70. I currently take: Singular 10mg, Advair (250/50) as needed, and Pulmicort off label usage. With worms, I'm able to not take prednisone or aspirin… The worms make a night and day difference. Without them I would be in a bad place.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1401894353199849/]

* “HDC has had a positive effect on my energy, brain fog, and sleep… It's hard to quantify one’s energy but for months prior to hdc I had a regular mid-afternoon crash and I don’t have those anymore. Also I’ve been prescribed adderall to cope with work and since starting hdc I’ve reduced my dose by ½ and for 2 days immediately after dosing with hdc even that’s too much… I am thrilled with the benefits I’ve had so far. I was seriously looking into applying for long term disability at work and now I can handle it ok again.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1355145527874732/]

* “I’d previously required max doses of two antidepressants plus stimulants to improve my lupus brain fog and stay functional. Exactly three months after each NA inoculation, I needed to cut down my stimulants because I'd suddenly be overstimulated and jittery, to the point where I've now stopped them. By the fourth dose, I was able to wean completely off both the antidepressants, when previously I couldn't tolerate a dose reduction for a week. I've been symptom-free except after I had to take helminth-unfriendly antibiotics for Lyme disease. Then my symptoms came back a month later, only to improve again three months after I reinoculated with NA. My psychiatrist has been impressed enough to share my results with other clients. There's a lot of evidence now that depression and other mental illnesses are caused at least in part by inflammation, and I chalk it up to that, but it was a completely unexpected benefit.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3003258209730114/?comment_id=3003295283059740&reply_comment_id=3005744796148122]

* Michael was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 1996 as a 17-year-old. Three operations and a slew of drugs relieved the symptoms, but only at the cost of unbearable side effects. After reading scores of research papers, Michael decided to try helminthic therapy. He was not overjoyed at the idea of swallowing worms, but everything he read convinced him it was worth the risk. When he was 25 he ordered a batch of pig whipworm eggs from a German company called Ovamed (it is illegal to sell or breed helminths in the US). Michael drank 2500 eggs every two weeks for three months. His symptoms began to disappear. In April 2010 he allowed 35 hookworm larvae to burrow into his skin and says that his Crohn’s disease has been in remission ever since. “As soon as you say worms people get freaked out,” Michael says. “But it’s not like you feel disgusting worms wriggling inside you. People forget that they have billions of bacteria crawling over their skin right now.” Before self-infecting, Michael’s intestines were ravaged and bleeding. When Moshe Rubin of the New York Hospital Queens examined Michael’s intestine earlier this year, he found that his “small bowel looked almost completely normal”. “It’s not a controlled trial, but the suggestion based on this observation is that helminthic therapy was helping him,” Rubin says.

** “When I started with HW I was having as many as 20-30 trips to the bathroom per day and through the night. I had a ton of intestinal bleeding. I was almost entirely home bound because I simply couldn't be far enough from a bathroom long enough to get anywhere… I was surviving solely on Absorb Plus at that time - no solid foods and was very under weight… It was around 4, maybe 5 months in that I noticed my abdominal pain had disappeared. Slowly my stools were becoming less frequent (10-15 times per day/night). Then they started firming up slightly. Then I was noticing less and less blood. I would have 1 good day out of 7, and I'd have energy and feel GOOD... I was able to go outside and do fun things with my kids again without being exhausted 5 minutes into an activity and desperately wanting to lie down. I wasn't constantly running to the bathroom. Now, I have really good days probably 65% of the time. I haven't had ANY blood in my stools in months now and my stools are mostly always formed… The urgency is MUCH better… For a while I was using LDN as well as helminths but now I'm using helminths solely… and I'm still seeing gradual improvement. This has been the single most helpful thing I've ever done for the Crohn's I've dealt with forever… I'm just so incredibly happy... I'm so glad I decided to try this.

* "I raced triathlon for several years... I struggled with the inflammatory results of all the training, and had relatively frequent flare ups of my chrons/colitis. Pre race anxiety also made things worse... So, I took a year off of training and decided to try HT without any exercise. Over the first year, I noticed a good deal of improvement in my symptoms and ability to tolerate allergens. Once I felt like I was stable, I started to ride my bike again. Over the next year, I was able to increase the frequency of my rides to 5-6x per week. I'm now racing cyclocross and enjoy it a great deal. While I have adjusted my expectations and anticipated outcomes, I still am able to get out, enjoy myself, and maintain a healthy lifestyle." (Link expired)

I am still currently experiencing 50% loose stools and nocturnal bowel movements… but that’s it! Symptoms that have been healed are: weekly vomiting, weekly blood in stools, constant nausea, pain, discomfort and unease, urgency, fatigue, and all issues with eating (like having to run to the toilet immediately after putting something in my mouth) and total complete food intolerance.

=== Erythromelalgia ===

* "I was suffering from a painful, debilitating autoimmune condition called erythromelalgia, in which my feet would periodically flare a bright red color. (Erythromelalgia involves a loss of small-fiber nerves controlling blood flow.) I also had large-fiber neuropathy, where there was no longer a measurable signal for my sural nerve (a major nerve running from the calf to the foot). Another symptom of the large-fiber neuropathy was losing all strength in the muscles which were supposed to straighten my toes. Not long after I began hosting hookworms, I also started taking low-dose naltrexone. While I think both autoimmune treatments have been helpful, and complementary, the hookworms seem more essential to my well-being. My erythromelagia has improved tremendously since treatment. In addition, I have recovered a measurable signal in the sural nerve, and can straighten my toes normally again. Although I'm not completely free of erythromelagia symptoms, my activities are no longer limited by my feet. And where I was once routinely awakened three times per night by flaring feet, I haven't experienced such a flare for 6 years now. There have also been a number of the "bonuses" that hookworm recipients sometimes speak of. Where I was very susceptible to tendinitis for most of my adult life, this is no longer the case since treatment. Where eating pineapple or strawberries always made my tongue look like a map of the world, those no longer give me any trouble. And my sense of smell, which had diminished significantly, has improved." (Via private communication, July 2015)

When he was hospitalized at the pediatric gastroenterology of Bremen University in Germany he was treated with 10 escalating TSO doses starting from 100 ova ending up with 2000 ova biweekly. He did not show any improvements during the treatment until the last dose. The first time after 6 years he had formed stool without any bleeding anymore. The Doctor in Chief made a poster presentation at the German pediatric gastroenterology conference and won a poster prize."

* "My daughter who has EE is off of Prilosec for the first time in six years!!! Only one incident of reflux in the last eleven days and none of the other typical symptoms that we've seen without it -- sleeplessness, crabbiness and emotional volatility because of increased pain. I'm not giving her anything else -- no antacid, betaine HCL, TUMS, or baking soda in water… This is absolutely huge for us… Her eating is much better in general as she is now able to eat a lot more nutritionally dense food… Yesterday she went to sleep before the rest of us. This has practically never happened." (Reported in a private discussion, Apr 2012)

* "… after the initial inoculation with seven hookworms, Cole experienced some side effects—periumbilical pain and mild diarrhea—but his food reactions improved. After five months, however, Carmon says, 'He regressed a little.' She and her husband decided to have Cole inoculated with 20 more worms. That’s what did the trick, Carmon says. Cole stopped having reactions to his remaining foods and Carmon is slowly adding foods back into his diet. According to his doctors, Cole is in clinical remission, and they are 'fascinated' that helminth therapy worked. Helminth therapy has had other benefits, in addition to dramatically improving his health. 'He used to have trouble learning but he is now doing wonderfully in school … He used to be fussy and hard to please but now he’s just so happy all the time.'” [http://www.livingwithout.com/issues/4_21/fishing_for_cure-2955-1.html]

* "… there has been a dramatic improvement with the eosinophilic esophagitis. Prior to inoculation, I was experiencing some level of food impaction that would, on a weekly basis, require a rush trip to the bathroom to find a way to push food down. I could not eat most foods without a glass of water near by at all times to help wash down each bite of food. Since inoculation, I have not experienced a single episode of food impaction! It's no longer necessary for me to remember a glass of water every time I want a snack… It has been 5 weeks since I used the medication (Flovent) with any regularity, and I'm still symptom free. I'm surprised for 2 reasons. First, EoE was not a condition that I really hoped the worms to improve… Second, I am surprised to have seen such a significant improvement so early in therapy…” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/504053876317239/]

* "I have been dealing with EE for the past 25 years. Food would get stuck in my esophagus just about every day. I have made several trips to the ER to get it pulled out. I started getting dilations done, but it would just close up again within a 2 months. I've had ~30 dilations. My throat was so tight (worst all my doctors have ever seen) they would have to use pediatric scopes and wires to do the dilations. Normal adult sized instruments where two large. I started therapy with Hookworms 20 months ago. It was not until 6 months after starting that I could really say it was starting to help. The dilations done in the past they were BARELY able to dilate me to 8mm and it would close up again in a few weeks. Today I'm dilated to 13mm and we are dilating every 6 months just to stay on top of it… I am very happy with the results so far. It is not 100%, more like 60%, but that 60% has made a HUGE impact on my quality of life." (Link expired)

* “Both my sons were diagnosed with EE at a young age. They were avoiding long lists of foods. One of my sons got to the point that he wasn't tolerating any food, and was on a special hypoallergenic formula. we were considering a feeding tube. We infected both of them with hook and whip two years ago. They now only are allergic to nuts and shellfish! It is a miracle for our family. Their last endoscopies looked great! Our quality of life has greatly improved!! I also had hookworms during my last pregnancy. I was a little worried but delivered a beautiful, healthy baby girl. She has no food allergies. Our allergist is shocked based on our family history.” (Link expired)

* “I started helminthic therapy almost 2 years ago in a desperate attempt to get my eosinophilic esophagitis and endless list of serious allergies under control. At several points, the number of foods I could tolerate was... zero. Even on "medically fabricated food" I was still pretty sick. One of my most burdensome allergies was oral allergy syndrome - an allergy to any food that has not been cooked. I am celebrating this week, because I've discovered that for the first time in 8 years I can eat raw food with NO reaction! Blueberries, strawberries, spinach, broccoli... Delicious! I was close to giving up on my little worms, since I saw no discernible improvement for a year and a half. I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and I wanted to share my joy and gratitude with all of you.” (Reported in a private message, Sept 2013)

* “Our son is five-years-old. He has EoE, Ige mediated allergies, Gastroparesis, OAS, and all of the symptoms of MCAS. He began treating with Helminths seven months ago. We had a rough start. His first dose of 5 HW made him incredibly sick. Thereafter, he had two small doses of HDC a few months apart. The HDC helped him slightly, but their purpose was to acclimate his body for a second dose of HW. He received his second dose of 5 HW around two months ago. Those little guys took him to task. He was extremely ill: vomiting, weight loss, refusal to eat, dangerously high fevers with sudden onset that wouldn't go down, I rushed him into his doctor's office, sometimes several days in a row. His Helminthic doctor suggested terminating the worms, but we hunkered down and stuck through it. Now, he is doing absolutely amazing. He feels better than he has ever felt in his life. The aches and pains that he had learned to live with, in his throat, stomach, chest, and legs have vanished. He is not throwing up. He still struggles a bit when he eats, but he is eating like a champion. He's eating faster and he's eating more. Most importantly, the pain that he used to feel while eating is gone. His rashes are gone. He achieved a new weight record (35 pounds! Yay!)… He has been holding strong, symptom free, for an unprecedented stretch of time now… In hindsight, I am grateful that the mainstream treatment options didn't work for him. He is now pharmaceutical free and feeling good, and that is a wonderful thing.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1040729659316322/]

* “Re daughter, 11 yrs old, with EOE. Failed pork on elimination diet trial. Doctor ordered elimination of pork, and either adding Prilosec back in, or up Flovent from 2 puffs twice daily to 4 puffs twice daily. We opted for the later: eliminate pork and 4 puffs twice daily on Flovent. PLUS we added 3 NA. During the three months we cheated on chicken, turkey and pork over a dozen times. She was not consistent with her Flovent. Probably did not do it 1/3 of the time. Scoped yesterday (for latest biopsy) thinking the worst. Doctor comes in with the biggest smile on his face. Showed me pictures of the beautiful pink veins and smooth skin. He was so shocked at how good the pictures where. He actually talked about a 6 month trial without Flovent.

* "Our 16 year old daughter has been on NA for about 5 years and is in remission for EOE. We started in 2019 with three NA every three months and now maintain the colony with three NA every four months. Inflammatory foods that she avoids are gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts, but she has never tried to add these back in because we just don’t want to mess with what is working. She doesn’t even have a GI doctor anymore. She never really got severe because we caught it early, and I believe her most severe scope was 30-60 eosinophils in a high power field. Yay!"

* "... she has more energy..." (Link expired)

* "I realized - after a few comments from friends - that I had stopped craving ADD drugs like Vyvanse and Adderall for their sheer energizing effect, stopped drinking – ready for this? – a pot and a half of coffee a day. I had more energy than I have had in something like 15 years. The afternoon fatigue wasn’t there as strongly – still there but reduced in its ability to floor me. I didn’t wake up tired and ready to go back to bed… All in all, I'm a happy girl so far. To have some energy back - not complete but so, so much better - is beyond joyful."

Only one incident of reflux in the last eleven days and none of the other typical symptoms that we've seen without it -- sleeplessness, crabbiness and emotional volatility because of increased pain. I'm not giving her anything else -- no antacid, betaine HCl, TUMS, or baking soda in water because it's so impossible to get her to comply. This is absolutely huge for us."

A very welcome benefit. Many people have been taking all kinds of treatments to control pain/discomfort around the solar plexus area for years following a 'diagnosis' of reflux but it seems it may just be inflammation in that nerve rich area?" (Link expired)

* "I've been hosting NA for a smidge over a year now, and I've definitely had less trouble with GERD. I used to have pain if I consumed any of a number of acidic or spicy foods, several kinds of carbohydrate-based foods, or alcohol. Now I can mostly eat those things again, as long as I am careful not to put too much in my stomach at one time… When my shipment was delayed and the worms arrived weeks late and dead, I started to have the pain again until I got replacement larvae."

This was impossible until last week!! And, to further test, I ate a sandwich at Subway. Unbelievable! After years, I ate a sandwich and didn’t get sick. Extremely happy with my hookworm fellows! This is simply a new condition for me. That never happened before (in 14 years): to be diet free and healthy, without any medication.

My gut has been greatly improved by helminthic therapy and my diet has expended, so I thought it was time to check for food sensitivities... I tested for sensitivity (the blood test measured IgG antibody, food antigens) to grains, legumes, nuts, meat, fowl, dairy, fruits, vegetables, fish, Mollusk, Crustacea, Miscellaneous items such as honey, chocolate, coffee, and yeasts.

* “I struggled for over 8 years with autoimmune disease, coeliacs, lymphocytic colitis and gastritis. Progressively my immune system decided food was the enemy. I began having allergic reactions to foods I’d eaten all my life. In a short period of time, my health became so chronic I hit rock bottom. The physical, emotional and financial cost has been huge. Finding an integrative GP was the game changer for me. Helminthic therapy was recommended. Initially, as expected, my immune system was not happy about sharing my gut. Starting with just 2 HDC, after almost 5 months we’re up to 10! Helminthic therapy has brought healing, happiness and joy back into my life. I’ve re-introduced foods back into my diet, gently. I no longer experience pain, bloating, belching or diarrhoea every time I eat. Only 2 of the last 140 days with any symptoms. I enjoy eating now. Bliss.” (Reported in a message submitted to the wiki.)

For the first time in almost 10 years I had no immediate reaction; moreover no dread of being ill for the next few weeks and then some. Now that’s a hugely triumphant moment for me.

Helminthic therapy was recommended to me after my last bout of gastritis after all other avenues had been thoroughly exhausted.

I could only spend the briefest of periods out of my bed or chair… My basic needs were attended to by visiting carers, but just interacting on a minimal level with these invariably very cheery folk would leave me exhausted! After many years of living like this, I adopted a team of hookworms in early 2009 and, in a matter of weeks, was feeling energised to an extent that I’d assumed I’d never experience again. I still get some brain fog if I’m tired, and rely on a good night’s sleep to ensure optimum cognition. But, thanks to the worms, I no longer need to take a rest during the day, and I can now enjoy gardening, and even paint a fence, when required. I can also do exercises and use a spin bike to keep my ageing frame mobile. And, although officially retired, I’m working again, part-time.

The following two posts are by the same person.

:* “At 10 weeks post inoculation with 5 NA for CFS/ME and chronic migraine, in the past two days I suddenly have many times more energy than usual for winter. Vastly more. Last winter a weekly trip to the grocery store would wipe me out to the point of being able to do NOTHING (no work, no housework, no cooking, nothing but resting) the entire rest of the week and I struggled to stay awake past 7 pm no matter how much I rested during the day. Yesterday, I cleaned the kitchen, batch cooked for half of the day, vacuumed, changed the bed linens and stayed up until 10 pm. Today I'm mopping, cleaning the bathrooms, doing laundry and cooking a bit more. This energy is in addition to the early improvements I've had in brain fog, joint pain, plantar fasciitis and increased tolerance to high FODMAP foods.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1040952539294034/]

:* “18 week update, treating for CFS/ME, chronic migraine, suspected RA. 5 NA, then 10-12 more at 12 weeks. My typical state pre-NA was 4-8 migraines per month and energy so low that I counted any day where I managed to cook food for dinner (with the rest of the day spent in bed or on the couch) as a good day. I had a step change improvement in energy at week 10, then a new surge of energy the last two days. In two days, I've cooked for hours, cleaned most of the house, done laundry and done a bit of spring pruning in the garden. A few minutes after I finished vacuuming this morning, my partner came up to the bedroom see me, expecting to find me in bed. Instead he found me outside on the deck with watercolours. My main concern today is not overdoing it to the point where I crash out for a week. I keep having to make myself sit down to rest as I have the energy to keep going. An unusual feeling for me. Also of note, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and typically my worst time of year for energy. Brain fog is no longer a daily problem. Greatly improved tolerance for high fructan foods.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1079127865476501/] [http://colonyofme.com/escaping-autoimmune-hell-helminthic-microbiome-immune-support/] [http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/incredible-improvements-with-helminthic-therapy.48955/]

* “Two and a half years ago, one of our 12 y/o twins acquired a virus that left her with debilitating post viral complications. She was diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and CFS (chronic fatigue). This was one very sick kid. She spent several months bed/couch ridden. Could barely walk from couch to toilet. Struggled to dress and wash herself. Her brain fog was so severe she quite literally could not do the sum 1+1, and any mental activity would result in her becoming teary with frustration and hopelessness. She was clinically depressed and completely socially withdrawn, and missed 12 months of school. Approx 5 months into her illness I inoculated her with approx 10 NA… It was about 2-3 months after this inoculation that she finally started to climb the long hill out of her illness… While she had a rocky year last year, missing a full term and several weeks here and there when she had flares or was unlucky enough to catch a virus, she gradually did make the climb out of the ditch. Today she is a powerhouse. She rises early with her sister 6am! to ride her bike to school (14kms!!) a few mornings a week, and takes an evening taekwando class…” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1274557485933537/]

* “I have both fibromyalgia and CFS/ME and was first inoculated just over 2 years ago. I have found improvement, especially since it has helped with inflammation. It is not a cure for me but I have been able to slowly go off medications, get less infections, have less flare days, and recover quicker than I use to. For me 5HWs is a dose where I obtain the most benefit with the fewest side effects.” (Link expired)

* “My wife watched me use the helminths for my Crohn's and soon jumped on board for her CFS and allergies. She is a friggin energizer bunny now. Some days, I regret turning her onto the HDC!

* “I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and it's almost a year ago since I took my first helminths (NA). By last summer my fatigue was progressing from mild to intermediate. It was getting to the point where I would struggle to leave my apartment and walk two blocks to do grocery shopping. I also had some issues relating to IBS, rhinitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis which made me suspect that there was an auto immune component to my fatigue. From what I read the helminths seemed to do well with that particular angle so I decided to give it a shot. For the first five months I made no other changes and I noticed a definite difference in energy. 11 months and 40 NA later I feel the best I have in years. Obviously I can't guarantee that it was all the worms, but I absolutely feel like the helminths played a big a part.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1677403632315585/]

My food intolerances are miles better, and my baseline heath is hugely better than prior to starting NA.” (Edited from three posts: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2986117701444165/?comment_id=2987228881333047&reply_comment_id=2990567960999139] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/3741291362593458/?comment_id=4081939218528669&reply_comment_id=4084649094924348] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/3741291362593458/?comment_id=4081939218528669&reply_comment_id=4084649094924348]) 

* "Initially it was very hard going with additional fatigue, could hardly stay awake for the first 12 weeks or so. But after about 6 months, I noticed my energy levels improving and my food intolerances have also improved. My autonomic symptoms, e.g., poor body temperature regulation, have also improved a bit but probably not as much as the other symptoms. Brain fog depends a lot on food intolerance reactions and how well I sleep... It's really been worth it. Just as an example, for years I couldn't walk up any more than 5 stairs, now I can do well over 20 with no problem... I started with 5NA (but now) don't inoculate any more than 3NA at a time."

* "It’s still early days for me but since starting low doses of TSO in Late March I definitely feel like I have noticeably more energy. For example, before I started HT if I got over 2000 steps in a day I would always crash for a few days. Now, though, I regularly get between 2300-2500 steps with few problems. That sounds like a small gain but for me it’s big. Also, my sleep and mood are better, my stomach is more settled, and I can eat a few more foods that I couldn’t before. And when I overdo it the PEM (post-exertional malaise) is not as severe. I still have a very long way to go but I’m more hopeful with this treatment than I have been in years."

: And a six month update.

:* I have noticed a mild reduction in all ME/CFS symptoms including sensitivity to light and sounds. The main thing I’ve noticed is that when I do crash I now bounce back to my baseline noticeably faster. I take TSO and NA. My colonies are still fairly small as I’m moving very slowly with this therapy as per the wiki advice for people with ME/CFS.

* "I’ve had ME/CFS for 30+ years and was in a particularly bad patch for the last 4½ years. Couch bound, noise sensitivity, balance issues, headaches that easily tipped over to migraines on a daily basis and debilitating fatigue. I had my first dose of 3 NA around Christmas last year, and that first month was jolly hard work. I wish I'd put meals in the freezer and set things up so I could just deal with existing. Putting things in place so I could get through each day in the easiest way possible… My symptoms worsened and I struggled to do anything. This lasted for a month and then my energy levels began increasing little by little each day. I applied another 3 NA after 3 months and again my symptoms worsened. I also noticed that I caught whatever was going around. This was again for the first month after treatment, then I again went from strength to strength each day. I've had another dose of 3 NA at the 3 month mark and the same pattern has happened again, I get worse and then I get better. Thankfully with each dose I am finding that my overall health is improving - an upward trajectory. The gains I get in the 2 good months are moving me forward and I'm now beginning to gently re-join the world. I can meet friends for social gatherings and cope with the noise and the interaction. I can be active through the day and not pay the price for it afterwards and for days following."

* "I have been using helminthic therapy for the past year to treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Initially, I used 3 NA every 12 weeks for 3 doses, and derived significant benefit from this. However the flu-like side effects following each dose were substantial - a sore throat, sore muscles and fatigue. The worst of these would last, reliably, for a week after each inoculation, with lesser, although still significant, symptoms continuing for another 2 months. After discussing my situation with someone experienced in HT, I decided to try using TSO, which I started 4 months ago. The doses I am using currently are 0.4ml drawn from a 15ml bottle containing 2500 ova, and dosing at 4 day intervals. This regime has worked very well for me, and the side effects from the TSO have been much more manageable than with NA. Since beginning HT, I have had significant benefits. I have far greater exercise tolerance and my cognitive function and mood have both also improved, although these improvements do require continued careful dosing to maintain. I still have to be careful to avoid excessive stressors, but I am the healthiest I have been since I was first diagnosed at the age of 15 (I'm now 27) and I have improved to such an extent as to be able to resume full time study towards my degree."

* "I have CIRS from mould illness, MCAS and histamine Intolerance, although, when I began HT, I wasn’t aware of these diagnoses. I must say HT has been a lifesaver for me, and I found NA and TSO extremely helpful with mould symptoms; HDC, not so much. I started with 8 NA in 2019 and felt positive effects within the first three months. When I started TSO, I had a sophisticated colony of NA on board already. Zero side effects to a full course of TSO. The effects of both species on board were absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t afford to take TSO after that, unfortunately, and so benefits declined rapidly after finishing the last dose. Through this period, I was living with mould. Hence, I am confident that HT has helped me a great deal with the symptoms of mould illness."

* "I’m 23 years old with severe ulcerative pancolitis. 5th time of dosing with NA, and I’ve never felt this good in all the years i have had this disease. Its like I don’t even have colitis anymore. 10/10 feel great. Currently no adverse symptoms except for diarrhea/inflammation for the first 2 weeks after inoculation."

=== PANDAS / PANS ===
(Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections / Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome)

* "We are almost six months past his initial inoculation (with NA). His PANDAS is pretty much completely gone, his sensory issues are back to what they were pre-PANDAS. He is dramatically improved. This is all way beyond our wildest dreams, since we had no idea these results could happen and were trying to address his allergic rhinitis and chronic ear infections with the treatment." (Reported in a private discussion, Apr 2012)

* "I can't believe it's been almost a year since we got inoculated with hookworm… It's amazing to see my son run up to school from the end of the block on his own when at the beginning of the school year, he was almost paralyzed by panic attacks from PANDAS, a disease for which there is basically no treatment or cure aside from antibiotic administration until adulthood." (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* "Our son, who is 10 and has Autism as well as PANDAS, was our first child to go on TSO and he has benefited greatly from it. It is also helping quite a lot with his allergies. (High Histamines = raging BAD mood for him.) His bloodwork results have been coming back close to normal where they'd not ever been close to normal in the past. Similar with our daughter, who is almost 13 and who began TSO in January 2013. She has had PANDAS and OCD for 9-10 years, since she was a toddler, but with the addition of TSO to her regimen, she lost her OCD overnight in January and it's not returned, though she says she can feel a little "buzzing" when it's time for more TSO, and that means the benefit is starting to wane. She was doing well enough in April to take a break from IVIG, at which point her bloodwork began coming in normal. She continues TSO every 2 weeks and is now happy and stable." (Link expired)

* “5 months without a PANDAS flare up!! Thank you helminths!! My ASD & PANDAS daughter was having horrible anxiety, involuntary movements, some really scary tongue and breathing tics and, before she got her 45 Necator Americanus helminths, she was having flares every month. I was so desperate to stop the suffering and I only regret not doing it two years ago when I first heard of helminthic therapy and thought it was just crazy. There was a dramatic worsening of tics the first few weeks. At times it seemed like she was for sure starting a new flare but the symptoms would only last for minutes or a couple hours, and there has been a complete resolution of PANDAS flare ups now. I had tried TSO before the NA and I was amazed at the immediate improvements but I just couldn't afford to pay $400 a month for the TSO. The majority of research that I found on helminths for autoimmune conditions is for NA, and the cost is better since they live 3+ years.” (Edited from several posts in this thread: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1068326963223258/])

* These two posts are about the same child:
**“My son was very very sick when we started HDC worms. We have been on them every two weeks for over a year... Worms have changed my kids life drastically. He was on 3 antibiotics to treat his PANDAS before. He was always up and down and under weight. He gained over 5 inches in 7 months on the worms. Is 30 percentile in weight and 20 percentile now in height. This is a kid that never even made the charts.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1181463555242931/]
**“We do HDC for over a year for my PANDAS autism kid. Best thing we have ever done. He was on 3 antibiotics and still having flares before we started. He is 12 and for the first time since 4 off all antibiotics and no flares for this entire year. Ocds, tics and anxiety so much better. Using more language. Trying so many new things. Went from dangerously underweight to 30 percentile. Grew over 6 inches in one year. Overall healthier. Best thing we could have ever done. He is just so easy going and that is not what anyone would have said about him before.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1187124991343454/]

* "Good news re: my PANS / PANDAS child (age 9) - his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) decreased by 95% practically overnight, following his 4th dose of 2,500 TSO. It has lasted for 2 days now, where he no longer cares where things are placed/ordered around our home. Previously, if one thing was "out of place" he would grow very agitated and angry until it was back the way he needed it to be. We started him on a half dose (1,200) of TSO at the beginning of October with 2,500 TSO every two weeks after. He would temporarily get worse after each dose, but it was worth it. His appetite has also improved lately. Best thing I have heard all year - 'Mama, I'm so happy I don't care where things go any more.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1494227933966490/] And an update, two years later... “He’s still doing well. The severe OCD, constant crankiness and rages never returned. He does backslide a bit during pollen season where we live - a touch of OCD, some anger and crying over little things. As soon as he's done crying, he's himself. This happens a few times a week during pollen season. So still way, way better than he was before helminths.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1469185616470722/?comment_id=2384367651619176&reply_comment_id=2385235008199107]

He couldn’t go alone into any room in our house. We had to have all the lights on 24 hours per day. He would ask me, “Mama, where are you?” hundreds of times a day when I had not moved. He could only sleep lying on top of my body. This was on amoxicillin for five straight months. Off of it, he was worse.

* “Omg, my PANDAS son is infected with strep and he's NOT in a full on flare! This is HUGE. In the past when he's been infected, I know it before the doctors do. His behaviors go off the charts, and we start thinking things like maybe he needs to go to a mental institution for treatment. This time, his behaviors have increased slightly, and I was honestly thinking that maybe the HDC wasn't effective for him and this was a sign of that. Instead, he's been fighting the infection and only slightly worsened.

* “My son, who is 15, is on the autism spectrum, is gay, overweight, fatigued, depressed, and has PANDAS/POTS and OCD, along with mast cell and allergy issues. The list is long! He started using helminths to treat the PANDAS. The first dose was 5 NA in November 2019, then a second dose of 5 in May 2020. He has always struggled with being awkward and different, and had difficulty expressing what he was feeling, but I didn’t realise just how severely depressed he had become. When he told me how much he had hated himself for so long, it broke my heart. His anxiety was off the charts. He said he was suicidal. Fortunately, a month on helminths has cleared his brain. He wakes up early now, and has lost 15 lbs. It’s like night and day, like a switch turned off and his inflammation is gone, and I am so thankful for this. I wish I had given NA to him 5 years ago. He's doing so great on them. Helminths have literally saved his life.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3419265288129402/]

* “HDC (I take 10 every three weeks) have a positive impact on my mood. My case may be different from others, but... PANS is what leads to my low mood. In PANS, autoantibodies attach to dopamine and glutamate receptors in the basal ganglia, which blocks their transmission in normal amounts. I think my good mood when I take HDC is likely because it helps whatever is leading to those autoantibodies being in the wrong place (my basal ganglia receptors), so more dopamine and glutamate can reach their proper destination. Not sure if these mechanics apply to many other disorders, though.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2296657347056874/?comment_id=2334347929954482&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D] (There's more about this individual on her blog, [https://web.archive.org/web/20230513003041/https://mysymbiontjourney.wordpress.com/ Old Friends].)

::And an update, nine months later:
::“Since starting HT I have had remission of sciatic pain from movement though there still is the L3-L4 narrowing which is there for good. My previous history was a tweaked sciatic. Was bed ridden for weeks, and a month to two months for pain to subside. A week ago I tweaked the nerve as bad as I every have, leaving me unable to move (bed to upright was a 5 minute process). I took 15mg prednisone and 30mg codeine and two hrs later this only marginally relieved the pain. My initial response was to get a two week supply of the above drugs for my recovery so my expectation based on severity was a long one. At about fours hours, I was walking and getting up carefully in 10 seconds. It was like all the inflammation dropped away though still reactive to rotational factors. I did not take any more drugs and, at a week, I feel completely normal again! I cannot explain this other than helminths.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2619124714810134/]

* "I have seen 3 surgeons. All 3 said l require-a triple fusion (to treat lower back pain) and that the surgery would result in me still being in pain. Prior to NA, l frequently spent up to 21 hours a day in Zero G Position in bed. l couldn’t walk, stand or sit for excruciating pain for more than 3 hours. I Started 11 months ago with 3 NA, and micro-dosing has been the key for me. My results from NA would start wearing off at 8 weeks, so I now dose every 6 weeks, and I’m still increasing the dosage, using my lungs as my barometer. My most recent dose was 5 NA, and the next dose will be 6 NA.

=== Stress ===

* “I've lost that 'tired but wired' feeling that stopped me relaxing properly, and I've started to sleep better. I get less stressed by ordinary events, and almost never use my inhalers any more." (Reported in a private discussion, Feb 2013)

* “My hookworms came, I put them on a bandaid, and applied them to my skin. My reaction was immediate and intense. Any feeling of stress that I felt went away - completely. I was stressed from my son being sick, but I also had other normal stresses; and they all went away too. I could look at the same situation, and I could not feel stressed about it.” (Link deleted)

* "With my husband’s first attack (of tendonitis), the doctor said it's probably nothing. With the second, he said if he gets a third attack odds are it will be permanent. Well, he hasn't needed the crutch for his hands in 6 months and he's been on NA for 8 months. It never even clicked that it could be autoimmune (the doc didn't say so either). His issue was small, he only had two fingers on each hand that were prone to this, off and on, but the doctor wasn't optimistic after having had so many 'attacks'. Especially since his father has it too on his wrist." [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/4847022252020358?comment_id=4850971704958746]

* “One positive sign I have not mentioned thus far has to do with my passionate parts. Yes, my wobblies. For several years, I have noticed that my testicles were getting smaller and lighter. I did not like it, but wrote it off as a natural consequence of aging. Almost immediately, after I began taking worms (HDC), this situation began to reverse. My testicles began to grow and grow, getting heavier, and heavier. Now, I haven’t been weighing them on the bathroom scale, and keeping a chart of their progress, mind you. It’s just something a feller notices. Anyway, now they are a normal size, like when I was younger, my “reproductive health” has increased significantly. Quite interesting.

HT gave me my life back.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* "I suffered from a serious case of UC… I've been hospitalized several times with serious bleeding and infection, the doctors told me to evaluate surgery if it ever flared up again. After starting HT (human whipworms) my UC is completely gone, so is my asthma, and my allergies and hypoglycemia as well. I still can't believe it. It actually started working 2 weeks into therapy after the first dose (improvement in pain/stool/stomach activity/rumbling etc.) so I feel like it's a miracle… It's so nice to able to live again!

At some points during the last six years I've had to recieve iron infusions because my iron levels were so low, but now my iron is actually on the high side of normal.

* “Going on almost two years of NA for ulcerative colitis. I started with 10 NA and that put me in remission within 2 months. My symptoms seem to flare when NA gets low. I keep adding 10 NA every 4 months and that seems to be working out. No side effects aside from inoculation rash. I think NA helps tamp down inflammation overall and gives the TTO a chance to take hold. I think NA helps with stool formation while TTO heals colon ulcers, thus stopping blood and mucus loss, restoring gut wall. Not taking any other meds.

I used to eat strict Paleo but now I eat 80% really clean and the other 20% I don’t worry as much about. Last night I had vodka, beer, bread, and a donut at my friends wedding. I’m fine today.

* “At my worst flare, I had 15 ulcers in my colon. None of my colon was functioning, it was just trying to survive the attack from my immune system. The HDC was remarkable! My response to them convinced me to try the NA and TSO. My first colony of NA did not survive my immune response. However, the TSO was like a miracle drug. I felt better almost after the first dose. TSO really help when a flare is coming on. I calmed 2 flares using those. After taking the TSO for a year, I have decided to give the NA another try because the cost of the TSO is not sustainable for me.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1852697221452891&reply_comment_id=1852719821450631&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R4%22%7D]

I stay away from gluten, soy, dairy, and eggs. But I can cheat on the gluten soy and eggs with minimal digestive rumblings. The greatest benefit has been to my anxiety about daily life.

* “I am 40 years old and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 20 years ago. About five years ago, my gastroenterologist wanted to start discussions about removing a portion of my colon because of several precancerous polyps found during a colonoscopy. Not long after that, I started HT with 50 HDC every 2 weeks, and have continued that regime for the last 5 years. I started seeing improvements almost immediately. The day after my first dose I had fewer urges to go to the bathroom and, after a week or two, I had no more blood in my stool. I also take TTO at about 600 ova every year, 50 bi-weekly until I have taken all 600, or about 12 weeks. I’ve done that every year(ish) for the last 4-5 years. I have achieved 5-6 years of remission, and I am 100% better today compared to before I started taking helminths. My gastroenterologist was skeptical until he had confirmation through a colonoscopy.

* "In 2018, I was starting the conversation with my doctor to remove my colon. Prednisone wasn't having any effect whatsoever. That experience was what pushed me to pull the trigger on hookworms (and they) turned off my ulcerative colitis and celiac disease like flicking a switch. I was able to get back on an unrestricted diet 40 days after inoculation. I had known about hookworms for years as a treatment for IBD but it took the real possibility of bowel surgery in my near future to push me to pull the trigger.

* "I had a patient who he'd had ulcerative colitis and had not been in remission for 20 years. And usually, I'm a naturopathic doctor, I'm not doing one thing. I'm looking at the whole person and saying, "Oh, let's give a nudge here, a nudge there, what can we do?" And so it could be hard to tease out what is helping and what is not helping. But this guy came to see me and he said, "Look, I read an article you wrote about helminths. I want to try helminths." He wasn't interested in any of my other stuff, which is fine. And so we did. Now, for him, we gave him Necator americanus and Trichuris trichiura. Well, I love that combo actually. So we didn't have that to tease out because he got both at once, but six months later, he came to me and he said, "I feel like I want to cry because I'm just completely better. And if I just known about this 20 years ago, I would've had such a different life maybe at this point." But he was very, very thrilled to finally, finally be in remission for the first time in decades. So that was great."

This page contains hundreds of anecdotal reports of both success and failure with helminthic therapy using one or more of the following therapeutic helminths.

* the human hookworm, Necator americanus (NA)
* the human whipworm, Trichuris trichiura (TT)
* the ova of the pig whipworm, Trichuris suis (TSO)
* the cysticercoids of the rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta (HDC).

There are also links below to pages dedicated to specific conditions, where there are hundreds more reports contributing to well over 1,000 personal stories in total on this site.

Most of the reports have been collected from social media, in particular from the [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/ Helminthic Therapy Support group].

{{Quote|indent}}The Helminthic therapy personal stories is my fave bit of the wiki! Reading THOUSANDS of testimonials. This in itself will raise your vibe 🌟🙌🥳. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3507548385967758/?comment_id=3507659949289935&reply_comment_id=3507689805953616]{{Quote|/indent}}

There are many thousands of people already self-treating with helminths, and approximately 75% of these are estimated to experience an improvement in their health. [http://www.yourwildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/galley-proof-v2.pdf] This overall response rate is particularly impressive given that most people who use this therapy have already tried every other treatment that is available for their condition.

The fact that many of these individuals have taken the time to report their experience is also amazing, for two reasons. Firstly, because many people are keen to hide the fact that they are hosting “worms” and some are not even prepared to divulge this fact to close family members so never report their experience. Secondly, the majority of those who get well as a result of using helminthic therapy can’t wait to resume the life that their illness had put on hold, so they very quickly lose interest in relating their stories online.

{{Quote|indent}}I am doing fantastic so my level of activity on forums has waned. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/631572663565359/?comment_id=1201135169942436&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22:%22R%22%7D]{{Quote|/indent}}

While there are a few failures listed among the reports below (identified by a frown emoji: ☹️), the individuals who reported these did not always follow best practice and, in some cases, had terminated the treatment before any improvements could have been expected. Since it is known that, for a few people, remission may not be achieved for up to 2 years following the first inoculation with helminths, the treatment cannot be assumed to have failed until that point.

Where people have described their success with several conditions in a single report, this has been duplicated so that it appears in each of the appropriate sections on this page.

* “I can't believe it's been almost a year since we got inoculated with hookworm. My only regret is that personally I didn't start hosting hookworm twenty years ago (or more!) Our entire family is so much better off. It's amazing to see my son run up to school from the end of the block on his own when at the beginning of the school year, he was almost paralyzed by panic attacks from PANDAS, a disease for which there is basically no treatment or cure aside from antibiotic administration until adulthood. My daughter had her best and most challenging school year ever and has made a best friend. My husband, too, only wishes he had gotten hookworm over a decade ago because of how much more productive and happier he is.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* “I put my whole family on helminths. When my son was 2 he was diagnosed with a rare type of autoimmune Nephrotic Syndrome. He is also IgE allergic to 8 foods and IgG allergic to about 12 more. He suffers from terrible eczema and he is on lots of medication including Cyclosporine for his kidneys. When he was around 9, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and they wanted to put him on Remicade infusion. I couldn’t take it anymore and went looking for alternatives. When I heard about helminths I had no doubt that I wanted this. My other son has food sensitivities and gets cyclical headaches every month with vomiting, and my husband has suffered with Crohn’s since his teens. Me, I’ve always felt healthy enough.

:"My children both got 5 hookworms and my husband and I got 20 each. Let me tell you that the Bounce my husband and I felt was AMAZING!

:"Long story short, my husband is “cured” of Crohns. His symptoms and inflammation are gone and he feels and looks younger. My autoimmune kid is also cured of his Crohns!!! No Remicade!!! His severe allergies turned to sensitivities. We still struggle with his kidneys but I believe he’s doing better overall due to hookworms. I lost weight that I’d struggled with for years, and it turns out it was just inflammation.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3544168688972394/]

== Expressions of regret for having delayed treatment ==

Many people have commented that they wish they had tried helminthic therapy sooner than they did. A few of these comments are presented below.

* “I only regret not doing it two years ago when I first heard of helminthic therapy and I thought it was just crazy.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1068326963223258/?comment_id=1068347489887872&reply_comment_id=1068355509887070&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D]

* "I regret all the years of quality living I lost because I wasn’t hosting hookworms." [https://helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/Hookworms_successful_against_colitis_and_celiac_disease_after_medicine_fails]

* “I was 19 years old when diagnosed with pancolitis. I have tried everything with minimal if any relief from my symptoms. I'm 6 weeks in hosting human hookworm (NA) and I can't tell you how much i wish I had done this sooner.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1853108804745066&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I wish I hadn't waited so long. I've tried diet, I've seen several functional medicine doctors (and followed their protocols), and I've seen some of the best rheumatologists (and ophthalmologists) in Virginia, at Duke in North Carolina, and at Johns Hopkins in Maryland. None of them could offer me anything, really. I never thought I would purposefully inoculate myself with a helminth, but for the first time, I am actually excited at the prospect of getting better.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1853270628062217&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “I can't believe it's been almost a year since we got inoculated with hookworm. My only regret is that I didn't start hosting hookworm twenty years ago (or more!) Our entire family is so much better off.”

* “I spent ungodly amounts of money over the past several years working with elite functional medicine docs. And I eventually came to the conclusion it wasn’t going to work for me… Now I’m 7 months in with NA and I’ve had no blood or symptoms of Colitis for 3 months… After all the time and money, I wish I just started Helminthic therapy 6 years ago and only changed my diet. The functional medicine tests and supplements didn’t help me one bit.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1634529973269618/?comment_id=1634673803255235&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “My son also has pancolitis and we are 7 months into helminth therapy. We have had a very smooth journey on TTO with really no side effects or worsening of symptoms, we are getting blood results back today and heading for a colonoscopy soon so will be able to see how things are going. My only regret is that we didn’t start sooner.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1854858797903400&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D]

* “A classmate of mine mentioned this therapy to me (four years ago). Because he wasn’t a really credible source of information otherwise (and I didn’t know my mental symptoms were likely autoimmune), I dismissed the idea.

== Expression of regret for terminating treatment ==

When people who are hosting helminths develop new symptoms, or an old or existing condition flares, their worms are often the first factor to fall under suspicion. In most cases where this leads to termination of a colony of human helminths, this step is later regretted when the actual cause of the symptoms is discovered and the self-treater experiences a return of the disease symptoms that their worms had been controlling. The individual will then also face a prolonged wait for a new colony to mature and reestablish immune balance.

Also see the following page.

* [[Hookworm side effects#Symptoms experienced after inoculation are not always worm side-effects | '''Symptoms experienced after inoculation are not always worm side-effects''']]

In some cases, a misguided doctor may insist that a therapeutic helminth colony is terminated before they prescribe immunosuppressive treatment. Doctors are aware of drug manufacturers’ advice that, before patients are given immunosuppressant drugs - for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupilumab dupilumab] (Dupixent) - any helminth infection should be terminated. This advice is to prevent immunosuppression by the drug from supporting the proliferation of ''pathogenic'' helminths, so does not apply to NA, TTO or TSO because these species cannot proliferate within a host. It is, however, advisable for anyone using HDCs to stop taking this species while on immunosuppressants. [http://biomerestoration.com/faqs/]

Whichever of the above reasons prompts termination of a colony of therapeutic helminths, the result is invariably regret for this action.

* “Before hw, I had pain in my kidney area after any stress - sometimes quite debilitating levels… My adrenal autoantibodies were somewhat high - just within the range of official (Addison’s) diagnosis. And my cortisol levels were crazy - super high in the middle of the night and low during the day (which I'm told is typical as the adrenals start to fail.) I started an Autoimmmune Protocol diet a few months before starting HT, and I believe that helped. But I still had symptoms - in particular the pain over my kidneys anytime I was startled or stressed - until about 1.5 years into hw treatment. Had my adrenal autoantibodies tested about 20 months after starting HT, and they were at zero. And my cortisol levels are normal now.

After 9 months and 45 HWs later I have stopped taking hydrocort, stopped with all sleeping medications, and am getting ready to stop the cortisol supplement. I am waking up with more energy, going to sleep naturally, and not crashing during the day. I credit the HWs with this improvement after suffering for more than 6 years and trying many different treatments with no improvement.

** "My father… has something called Samter's syndrome which includes nasal polyps, chronic rhinitis, and aspirin sensitivity. For 20-25 years, he had little senses of taste or smell, from polyps on his sinus nerve, and had multiple surgeries to remove them. Starting about 6 months after getting HW (by then, he had about 50, I think), the polyps went away, never to return. He's had his taste and smell all the time, acutely, for now a good 3½ years."

* "Wow this is amazing! I was diagnosed with Samters Triad / Aspirin Exaccerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD) in Oct 2014. Samters Triad is salicylate intolerance, nasal polyps and asthma… I decided to give HW a go in Jul 2015. My initial dose was 25. After 3 months I noticed I could get away with the odd glass of wine without an anti-histamine. In Oct I took a further 40 HW. Then suddenly about 10 days ago (mid January 2016) my nose cleared, and my energy levels escalated. I started cutting back my asthma medication and have taken nothing at all for 4 days now with no symptoms!” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/946052288784060/]

* “I have AERD (Samter's Triad). Asthma, nasal polyps, and aspirin sensitivity. I've taken incredible amounts of prednisone to control the polyps and have had two surgeries to remove them over the last ten years… Started worms a few years ago. Initially HDC, which worked well and would provide relief for weeks. Made the move to NA and have had similar success there, it just lasts longer. I see improvement with as little as 30 NA, but get better control with 60-70. I currently take: Singular 10mg, Advair (250/50) as needed, and Pulmicort off label usage. With worms, I'm able to not take prednisone or aspirin… The worms make a night and day difference.

By the fourth dose, I was able to wean completely off both the antidepressants, when previously I couldn't tolerate a dose reduction for a week. I've been symptom-free except after I had to take helminth-unfriendly antibiotics for Lyme disease. Then my symptoms came back a month later, only to improve again three months after I reinoculated with NA. My psychiatrist has been impressed enough to share my results with other clients.

* "Within a week of introducing 3 helminths to my system I experienced a huge reduction in my chronic cough symptoms - a health issue I have had for most of my life and which had never responded to inhalers. I continued to use helminths three monthly for almost two years until the rash that came with introducing them to my system became untenable (due to suspected MCAS)."

Every day has been fantastic for about eight weeks now.” (Reported in a private discussion, Dec 2012)

* Michael was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 1996 as a 17-year-old. Three operations and a slew of drugs relieved the symptoms, but only at the cost of unbearable side effects. After reading scores of research papers, Michael decided to try helminthic therapy. He was not overjoyed at the idea of swallowing worms, but everything he read convinced him it was worth the risk. When he was 25 he ordered a batch of pig whipworm eggs from a German company called Ovamed (it is illegal to sell or breed helminths in the US). Michael drank 2500 eggs every two weeks for three months. His symptoms began to disappear. In April 2010 he allowed 35 hookworm larvae to burrow into his skin and says that his Crohn’s disease has been in remission ever since. “As soon as you say worms people get freaked out,” Michael says. “But it’s not like you feel disgusting worms wriggling inside you. People forget that they have billions of bacteria crawling over their skin right now.” Before self-infecting, Michael’s intestines were ravaged and bleeding. When Moshe Rubin of the New York Hospital Queens examined Michael’s intestine earlier this year, he found that his “small bowel looked almost completely normal”. “It’s not a controlled trial, but the suggestion based on this observation is that helminthic therapy was helping him,” Rubin says.

* "My mom… was basically waiting for emergency surgery when she started hookworm therapy for Crohn's disease. She only has five feet of small bowel left, and the surgery would have made it necessary for a permanent feeding tube. That was almost a year ago and now she's far from needing surgery. She was living off Ensure and now eats food again… She started with 10 hookworms then six months later took 15 more. She's not cured but has a quality of life she was never able to achieve with pharmaceuticals." (Reported in a private discussion, 2011.)

* “I have had 3 resections with 6-8 inches of small intestine taken out each time. The last one was in 2004 and since going on helminthic therapy and gluten-free diet, I haven't needed surgery.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jan 2012)

* “I have had five resections, and have had the helminths for 14 months and feel great. At the time I got my hw, I was heading for my sixth bowel resection, and permanent feeding tube. I escaped that scenerio by a hair. I do not get strictures anymore.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jan 2012)

* "…almost 2 years into therapy… and officially had my last infliximab infusion as they are no longer required as the worms are controlling my crohns, happy days. 12 months ago I wasn't even lasting 4 weeks between infusions and was facing colon removal and permanent bag, so I had a 2nd hw infection and it just got better and better. Now my crp is low and I reach the 12 week between infusions and still have no symptoms so it is no longer required." (Reported in a private discussion, Mar 2012)

* "I have now had 4 doses of hookworm ... I'm drug-free, have had a long period of being symptom-free. Well worth the trip so far." [https://web.archive.org/web/20161216085058/http://hookworm4crohns.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/day.html]

* "I have had Crohn's since 2000. I have tried every drug out there with little success and a couple of near death experiences. I have basically been living in a recliner for almost a year. From August 2011 until May 2012 I was moving between the bathroom and the recliner. This is my 3rd dose of hookworms. I had little hope that this would work but the results are unbelievable (and) the last month has been crazy great!! I hit my 100 days and painted my entire house, inside and out! I used my painkillers not for lower left quadrant pain but for being so sore from activity that I couldn't get out of bed!!! I love hookworms!!!" (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* "It has been over two years now since we began treating Crohn's disease in our daughter… (who was) diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 14 months... Treating our little girl with helminthic therapy was the single best decision we could have made… The treatment has enabled her to live a normal life… rather then one riddled with pain and fatigue, pills, injections, and steroids… She is now over three and a half, and is as happy, healthy, and beautiful as any parent could want…" [http://www.jasper-lawrence.com/the-story-of-a-all-in-one-place/]

I dosed with hookworm late 2010 (22 months ago), and twice in 2011. After three doses, I estimate that the hookworm alone achieves 85% symptom relief for me. I rejoice at the phenomenal benefit to my life. It would be no exaggeration to call my case a small miracle. I hope to continue to experience this degree of relief."

My daughter has not been on ANY medication (including over-the-counter immodium) since my last posting. She has solid stools most of the time, and I can count the intestinal cramping episodes on one hand. (And frankly we wonder if those few episodes aren't related to school/stress and not Crohn's?). We are not so naive to believe there won't be hiccups down the road, but the helminthic therapy is thus far miraculous... the improvement from a year ago is stunning!

** "… the incredible pain I normally experience in my upper abdomen from the crohn's (mostly located in my jejunum) has slowly but surely vanished! I mean, how do you not notice something like that after suffering for so long?! I guess the improvements were slow and subtle. Anyhow, I feel very certain I can thank my HW for that! Nothing, and I do mean NOTHING has ever helped my crohn's so completely. In over 10 years, even the years I considered myself in remission, I was never so completely free from upper abdominal pain after a meal!" [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/555510421171584/]
** “When I started with HW I was having as many as 20-30 trips to the bathroom per day and through the night. I had a ton of intestinal bleeding. I was almost entirely home bound because I simply couldn't be far enough from a bathroom long enough to get anywhere… I was surviving solely on Absorb Plus at that time - no solid foods and was very under weight… It was around 4, maybe 5 months in that I noticed my abdominal pain had disappeared. Slowly my stools were becoming less frequent (10-15 times per day/night). Then they started firming up slightly. Then I was noticing less and less blood. I would have 1 good day out of 7, and I'd have energy and feel GOOD... I was able to go outside and do fun things with my kids again without being exhausted 5 minutes into an activity and desperately wanting to lie down. I wasn't constantly running to the bathroom. Now, I have really good days probably 65% of the time. I haven't had ANY blood in my stools in months now and my stools are mostly always formed… The urgency is MUCH better… For a while I was using LDN as well as helminths but now I'm using helminths solely… and I'm still seeing gradual improvement. This has been the single most helpful thing I've ever done for the Crohn's I've dealt with forever… I'm just so incredibly happy... I'm so glad I decided to try this. It's almost unbelievable… It quite possibly saved my life!” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/765969386792352/]

* "I raced triathlon for several years... I struggled with the inflammatory results of all the training, and had relatively frequent flare ups of my chrons/colitis. Pre race anxiety also made things worse... So, I took a year off of training and decided to try HT without any exercise. Over the first year, I noticed a good deal of improvement in my symptoms and ability to tolerate allergens. Once I felt like I was stable, I started to ride my bike again. Over the next year, I was able to increase the frequency of my rides to 5-6x per week. I'm now racing cyclocross and enjoy it a great deal. While I have adjusted my expectations and anticipated outcomes, I still am able to get out, enjoy myself, and maintain a healthy lifestyle." (Link expired)

* "At 6 months in I realized that my HW had made a profound impact on my crohn's symptoms. It happened very very slowly and gradually for me. I wish I had tried HW earlier in my disease process.

I was to ingest whipworm eggs from pigs in a cup of Gateraid. I began the study and 8 weeks later began to have less symptoms of the disease. 8 weeks later and my symptoms were gone. A colonoscopy confirmed it. I couldn't' believe my eyes! It was healthy and pink! Not like the photos before that resembled hamburger.

* "I started NA on Jan 4th this year (2022) for Crohn’s Disease and Sweet Syndrome. I was not in a good way. In 2020 I was told I was going to die due to inflammation in my bowel, and it perforated while hopping into bed. I was in hospital 4 times, each for 2-3 weeks and tried every medicine available. I refused surgery due to the fact it almost always fails in my situation, so I was discharged. I managed to do nothing, and hardly moving for a year, I got a little better. Then I found NA. I've taken doses of 3, 3 and 5 worms so far, at around 10 weeks between each dose. I had a specialist appointment on Friday and, for the first time in 20 years, my blood work is fabulous. My CRP is 7, my cal protectin is 50 and my eosinophil level is raised, which is also good. My CRP has never been below 280 and my cal protectin was normally around 6000. So I have no signs of disease in my blood and I'm no longer an extreme surgical case. I'm not even sick as far as doctors are concerned. I still get a little arthritis in my hands but that could be because it's winter. And my tongue still has geographical patterns, but otherwise I'm pretty great. Thank you my worm friends."

* "This is my 1 year update of using helminthic therapy for severe Crohn’s disease and total food intolerance. Right now I am ecstatic! As of this week my doctor has told me my labs show that I am in clinical remission!! My calprotectin is at a 15, and my CRP is within the normal range. In the past my Calprotectin has been so high that it was beyond the range they test for… I am still in disbelief. This is the first time I have been in remission in over 3 years. I am still currently experiencing 50% loose stools and nocturnal bowel movements… but that’s it! Symptoms that have been healed are: weekly vomiting, weekly blood in stools, constant nausea, pain, discomfort and unease, urgency, fatigue, and all issues with eating (like having to run to the toilet immediately after putting something in my mouth) and total complete food intolerance. For 3 years I got most of my calories from meal replacement shakes but, in the past year, my total food intolerance has been reduced by about 80%. So overall amazing progress!!… I feel positive and am looking forward to my future for the first time in a long time. For the first time in over 12 months I am fully off of the steroid prednisolone!!!

=== Erythromelalgia ===

* "I was suffering from a painful, debilitating autoimmune condition called erythromelalgia, in which my feet would periodically flare a bright red color. (Erythromelalgia involves a loss of small-fiber nerves controlling blood flow.) I also had large-fiber neuropathy, where there was no longer a measurable signal for my sural nerve (a major nerve running from the calf to the foot). Another symptom of the large-fiber neuropathy was losing all strength in the muscles which were supposed to straighten my toes. Not long after I began hosting hookworms, I also started taking low-dose naltrexone. While I think both autoimmune treatments have been helpful, and complementary, the hookworms seem more essential to my well-being. My erythromelagia has improved tremendously since treatment. In addition, I have recovered a measurable signal in the sural nerve, and can straighten my toes normally again. Although I'm not completely free of erythromelagia symptoms, my activities are no longer limited by my feet. And where I was once routinely awakened three times per night by flaring feet, I haven't experienced such a flare for 6 years now. There have also been a number of the "bonuses" that hookworm recipients sometimes speak of. Where I was very susceptible to tendinitis for most of my adult life, this is no longer the case since treatment. Where eating pineapple or strawberries always made my tongue look like a map of the world, those no longer give me any trouble. And my sense of smell, which had diminished significantly, has improved." (Via private communication, July 2015)

During the course of the disease he was treated with Mesalazine, Prednisolone, Budenoside, Ecoli Nissle and Montekulast without any success. When he was hospitalized at the pediatric gastroenterology of Bremen University in Germany he was treated with 10 escalating TSO doses starting from 100 ova ending up with 2000 ova biweekly. He did not show any improvements during the treatment until the last dose. The first time after 6 years he had formed stool without any bleeding anymore. The Doctor in Chief made a poster presentation at the German pediatric gastroenterology conference and won a poster prize."

=== Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE / EoE) ===

* "My daughter who has EE is off of Prilosec for the first time in six years!!! Only one incident of reflux in the last eleven days and none of the other typical symptoms that we've seen without it -- sleeplessness, crabbiness and emotional volatility because of increased pain. I'm not giving her anything else -- no antacid, betaine HCL, TUMS, or baking soda in water… This is absolutely huge for us… Her eating is much better in general as she is now able to eat a lot more nutritionally dense food… Yesterday she went to sleep before the rest of us. This has practically never happened." (Reported in a private discussion, Apr 2012)

* "… after the initial inoculation with seven hookworms, Cole experienced some side effects—periumbilical pain and mild diarrhea—but his food reactions improved. After five months, however, Carmon says, 'He regressed a little.' She and her husband decided to have Cole inoculated with 20 more worms. That’s what did the trick, Carmon says. Cole stopped having reactions to his remaining foods and Carmon is slowly adding foods back into his diet. According to his doctors, Cole is in clinical remission, and they are 'fascinated' that helminth therapy worked. Helminth therapy has had other benefits, in addition to dramatically improving his health. 'He used to have trouble learning but he is now doing wonderfully in school … He used to be fussy and hard to please but now he’s just so happy all the time.'” [http://www.livingwithout.com/issues/4_21/fishing_for_cure-2955-1.html]

* "… there has been a dramatic improvement with the eosinophilic esophagitis. Prior to inoculation, I was experiencing some level of food impaction that would, on a weekly basis, require a rush trip to the bathroom to find a way to push food down. I could not eat most foods without a glass of water near by at all times to help wash down each bite of food. Since inoculation, I have not experienced a single episode of food impaction! It's no longer necessary for me to remember a glass of water every time I want a snack… It has been 5 weeks since I used the medication (Flovent) with any regularity, and I'm still symptom free. I'm surprised for 2 reasons. First, EoE was not a condition that I really hoped the worms to improve… Second, I am surprised to have seen such a significant improvement so early in therapy…” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/504053876317239/]

* "I have been dealing with EE for the past 25 years. Food would get stuck in my esophagus just about every day. I have made several trips to the ER to get it pulled out. I started getting dilations done, but it would just close up again within a 2 months. I've had ~30 dilations. My throat was so tight (worst all my doctors have ever seen) they would have to use pediatric scopes and wires to do the dilations. Normal adult sized instruments where two large. I started therapy with Hookworms 20 months ago. It was not until 6 months after starting that I could really say it was starting to help. The dilations done in the past they were BARELY able to dilate me to 8mm and it would close up again in a few weeks. Today I'm dilated to 13mm and we are dilating every 6 months just to stay on top of it… I am very happy with the results so far. It is not 100%, more like 60%, but that 60% has made a HUGE impact on my quality of life." (Link expired)

* “Both my sons were diagnosed with EE at a young age. They were avoiding long lists of foods. One of my sons got to the point that he wasn't tolerating any food, and was on a special hypoallergenic formula. we were considering a feeding tube. We infected both of them with hook and whip two years ago. They now only are allergic to nuts and shellfish! It is a miracle for our family. Their last endoscopies looked great! Our quality of life has greatly improved!! I also had hookworms during my last pregnancy. I was a little worried but delivered a beautiful, healthy baby girl. She has no food allergies. Our allergist is shocked based on our family history.” (Link expired)

* “I started helminthic therapy almost 2 years ago in a desperate attempt to get my eosinophilic esophagitis and endless list of serious allergies under control. At several points, the number of foods I could tolerate was... zero. Even on "medically fabricated food" I was still pretty sick. One of my most burdensome allergies was oral allergy syndrome - an allergy to any food that has not been cooked. I am celebrating this week, because I've discovered that for the first time in 8 years I can eat raw food with NO reaction! Blueberries, strawberries, spinach, broccoli... Delicious! I was close to giving up on my little worms, since I saw no discernible improvement for a year and a half. I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and I wanted to share my joy and gratitude with all of you.” (Reported in a private message, Sept 2013)

* “Our son is five-years-old. He has EoE, Ige mediated allergies, Gastroparesis, OAS, and all of the symptoms of MCAS. He began treating with Helminths seven months ago. We had a rough start. His first dose of 5 HW made him incredibly sick. Thereafter, he had two small doses of HDC a few months apart. The HDC helped him slightly, but their purpose was to acclimate his body for a second dose of HW. He received his second dose of 5 HW around two months ago. Those little guys took him to task. He was extremely ill: vomiting, weight loss, refusal to eat, dangerously high fevers with sudden onset that wouldn't go down, I rushed him into his doctor's office, sometimes several days in a row. His Helminthic doctor suggested terminating the worms, but we hunkered down and stuck through it. Now, he is doing absolutely amazing. He feels better than he has ever felt in his life. The aches and pains that he had learned to live with, in his throat, stomach, chest, and legs have vanished. He is not throwing up. He still struggles a bit when he eats, but he is eating like a champion. He's eating faster and he's eating more. Most importantly, the pain that he used to feel while eating is gone. His rashes are gone. He achieved a new weight record (35 pounds! Yay!)… He has been holding strong, symptom free, for an unprecedented stretch of time now… In hindsight, I am grateful that the mainstream treatment options didn't work for him. He is now pharmaceutical free and feeling good, and that is a wonderful thing.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1040729659316322/]

* “Re daughter, 11 yrs old, with EOE. Failed pork on elimination diet trial. Doctor ordered elimination of pork, and either adding Prilosec back in, or up Flovent from 2 puffs twice daily to 4 puffs twice daily. We opted for the later: eliminate pork and 4 puffs twice daily on Flovent. PLUS we added 3 NA. During the three months we cheated on chicken, turkey and pork over a dozen times. She was not consistent with her Flovent. Probably did not do it 1/3 of the time. Scoped yesterday (for latest biopsy) thinking the worst. Doctor comes in with the biggest smile on his face. Showed me pictures of the beautiful pink veins and smooth skin. He was so shocked at how good the pictures where. He actually talked about a 6 month trial without Flovent.

I used TSO 2500 eggs every two and a half weeks for 5 months and stopped for about a month and I could feel it coming back so I bought five months more and that seemed to do the trick. It seems to be ok now. I have not taken any for a couple of months now."

We started in 2019 with three NA every three months and now maintain the colony with three NA every four months. Inflammatory foods that she avoids are gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts, but she has never tried to add these back in because we just don’t want to mess with what is working. She doesn’t even have a GI doctor anymore. She never really got severe because we caught it early, and I believe her most severe scope was 30-60 eosinophils in a high power field. Yay!"

This was impossible until last week!! And, to further test, I ate a sandwich at Subway. Unbelievable! After years, I ate a sandwich and didn’t get sick. Extremely happy with my hookworm fellows!

I tested for sensitivity (the blood test measured IgG antibody, food antigens) to grains, legumes, nuts, meat, fowl, dairy, fruits, vegetables, fish, Mollusk, Crustacea, Miscellaneous items such as honey, chocolate, coffee, and yeasts.

* “I struggled for over 8 years with autoimmune disease, coeliacs, lymphocytic colitis and gastritis. Progressively my immune system decided food was the enemy. I began having allergic reactions to foods I’d eaten all my life. In a short period of time, my health became so chronic I hit rock bottom. The physical, emotional and financial cost has been huge. Finding an integrative GP was the game changer for me. Helminthic therapy was recommended. Initially, as expected, my immune system was not happy about sharing my gut. Starting with just 2 HDC, after almost 5 months we’re up to 10! Helminthic therapy has brought healing, happiness and joy back into my life. I’ve re-introduced foods back into my diet, gently. I no longer experience pain, bloating, belching or diarrhoea every time I eat. Only 2 of the last 140 days with any symptoms. I enjoy eating now. Bliss.” (Reported in a message submitted to the wiki.)

Helminthic therapy was recommended to me after my last bout of gastritis after all other avenues had been thoroughly exhausted.

I could only spend the briefest of periods out of my bed or chair… My basic needs were attended to by visiting carers, but just interacting on a minimal level with these invariably very cheery folk would leave me exhausted! After many years of living like this, I adopted a team of hookworms in early 2009 and, in a matter of weeks, was feeling energised to an extent that I’d assumed I’d never experience again. I still get some brain fog if I’m tired, and rely on a good night’s sleep to ensure optimum cognition. But, thanks to the worms, I no longer need to take a rest during the day, and I can now enjoy gardening, and even paint a fence, when required. I can also do exercises and use a spin bike to keep my ageing frame mobile. And, although officially retired, I’m working again, part-time.

The following two posts are by the same person.

:* “At 10 weeks post inoculation with 5 NA for CFS/ME and chronic migraine, in the past two days I suddenly have many times more energy than usual for winter. Vastly more. Last winter a weekly trip to the grocery store would wipe me out to the point of being able to do NOTHING (no work, no housework, no cooking, nothing but resting) the entire rest of the week and I struggled to stay awake past 7 pm no matter how much I rested during the day. Yesterday, I cleaned the kitchen, batch cooked for half of the day, vacuumed, changed the bed linens and stayed up until 10 pm. Today I'm mopping, cleaning the bathrooms, doing laundry and cooking a bit more. This energy is in addition to the early improvements I've had in brain fog, joint pain, plantar fasciitis and increased tolerance to high FODMAP foods.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1040952539294034/]

:* “18 week update, treating for CFS/ME, chronic migraine, suspected RA. 5 NA, then 10-12 more at 12 weeks. My typical state pre-NA was 4-8 migraines per month and energy so low that I counted any day where I managed to cook food for dinner (with the rest of the day spent in bed or on the couch) as a good day. I had a step change improvement in energy at week 10, then a new surge of energy the last two days. In two days, I've cooked for hours, cleaned most of the house, done laundry and done a bit of spring pruning in the garden. A few minutes after I finished vacuuming this morning, my partner came up to the bedroom see me, expecting to find me in bed. Instead he found me outside on the deck with watercolours. My main concern today is not overdoing it to the point where I crash out for a week. I keep having to make myself sit down to rest as I have the energy to keep going. An unusual feeling for me. Also of note, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and typically my worst time of year for energy. Brain fog is no longer a daily problem. Greatly improved tolerance for high fructan foods.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1079127865476501/] [http://colonyofme.com/escaping-autoimmune-hell-helminthic-microbiome-immune-support/] [http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/incredible-improvements-with-helminthic-therapy.48955/]

* ☹️ “I have ME and helminthic therapy did not help my general symptoms. It only removed my specific allergic reactions (so now I can have a cat and don't mind the pollen season). Nothing else (no side effects either).” (Link expired.)

* “Two and a half years ago, one of our 12 y/o twins acquired a virus that left her with debilitating post viral complications. She was diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and CFS (chronic fatigue). This was one very sick kid. She spent several months bed/couch ridden. Could barely walk from couch to toilet. Struggled to dress and wash herself. Her brain fog was so severe she quite literally could not do the sum 1+1, and any mental activity would result in her becoming teary with frustration and hopelessness. She was clinically depressed and completely socially withdrawn, and missed 12 months of school. Approx 5 months into her illness I inoculated her with approx 10 NA… It was about 2-3 months after this inoculation that she finally started to climb the long hill out of her illness… While she had a rocky year last year, missing a full term and several weeks here and there when she had flares or was unlucky enough to catch a virus, she gradually did make the climb out of the ditch. Today she is a powerhouse. She rises early with her sister 6am! to ride her bike to school (14kms!!) a few mornings a week, and takes an evening taekwando class…” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1274557485933537/]

* “I have both fibromyalgia and CFS/ME and was first inoculated just over 2 years ago. I have found improvement, especially since it has helped with inflammation. It is not a cure for me but I have been able to slowly go off medications, get less infections, have less flare days, and recover quicker than I use to. For me 5HWs is a dose where I obtain the most benefit with the fewest side effects.” (Link expired)

* “My wife watched me use the helminths for my Crohn's and soon jumped on board for her CFS and allergies. She is a friggin energizer bunny now. Some days, I regret turning her onto the HDC! She was a fast responder. Her allergies went away in about 4-6 weeks and the CFS was improving at the 8 week mark. She is hosting about 15 NA and doses 40 HDC every two weeks." (Link expired)

* “I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and it's almost a year ago since I took my first helminths (NA). By last summer my fatigue was progressing from mild to intermediate. It was getting to the point where I would struggle to leave my apartment and walk two blocks to do grocery shopping. I also had some issues relating to IBS, rhinitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis which made me suspect that there was an auto immune component to my fatigue. From what I read the helminths seemed to do well with that particular angle so I decided to give it a shot. For the first five months I made no other changes and I noticed a definite difference in energy. 11 months and 40 NA later I feel the best I have in years. Obviously I can't guarantee that it was all the worms, but I absolutely feel like the helminths played a big a part.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1677403632315585/]

* “I have CFS of many decades that was mild to moderate but had got bad in the last few years. I started NA just over two years ago and, in the first 14 months, I got 3-4 (bad) bouts of flu followed by flares of autoimmune symptoms, all of which can be a sign for people with CFS that they are recovering. Now, my autoimmune symptoms are in remission and my CFS is much improved. My food intolerances are miles better, and my baseline heath is hugely better than prior to starting NA.” (Edited from three posts: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2986117701444165/?comment_id=2987228881333047&reply_comment_id=2990567960999139] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/3741291362593458/?comment_id=4081939218528669&reply_comment_id=4084649094924348] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/3741291362593458/?comment_id=4081939218528669&reply_comment_id=4084649094924348]) 

* "Initially it was very hard going with additional fatigue, could hardly stay awake for the first 12 weeks or so. But after about 6 months, I noticed my energy levels improving and my food intolerances have also improved. My autonomic symptoms, e.g., poor body temperature regulation, have also improved a bit but probably not as much as the other symptoms. Brain fog depends a lot on food intolerance reactions and how well I sleep... It's really been worth it. Just as an example, for years I couldn't walk up any more than 5 stairs, now I can do well over 20 with no problem... I started with 5NA (but now) don't inoculate any more than 3NA at a time." [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/5143705719018675?comment_id=5144208765635037]

* "It’s still early days for me but since starting low doses of TSO in Late March I definitely feel like I have noticeably more energy. For example, before I started HT if I got over 2000 steps in a day I would always crash for a few days. Now, though, I regularly get between 2300-2500 steps with few problems. That sounds like a small gain but for me it’s big. Also, my sleep and mood are better, my stomach is more settled, and I can eat a few more foods that I couldn’t before. And when I overdo it the PEM (post-exertional malaise) is not as severe. I still have a very long way to go but I’m more hopeful with this treatment than I have been in years."

: And a six month update.

:* I have noticed a mild reduction in all ME/CFS symptoms including sensitivity to light and sounds. The main thing I’ve noticed is that when I do crash I now bounce back to my baseline noticeably faster. I take TSO and NA. My colonies are still fairly small as I’m moving very slowly with this therapy as per the wiki advice for people with ME/CFS.

* "I’ve had ME/CFS for 30+ years and was in a particularly bad patch for the last 4½ years. Couch bound, noise sensitivity, balance issues, headaches that easily tipped over to migraines on a daily basis and debilitating fatigue. I had my first dose of 3 NA around Christmas last year, and that first month was jolly hard work. I wish I'd put meals in the freezer and set things up so I could just deal with existing. Putting things in place so I could get through each day in the easiest way possible… My symptoms worsened and I struggled to do anything. This lasted for a month and then my energy levels began increasing little by little each day. I applied another 3 NA after 3 months and again my symptoms worsened. I also noticed that I caught whatever was going around. This was again for the first month after treatment, then I again went from strength to strength each day. I've had another dose of 3 NA at the 3 month mark and the same pattern has happened again, I get worse and then I get better. Thankfully with each dose I am finding that my overall health is improving - an upward trajectory. The gains I get in the 2 good months are moving me forward and I'm now beginning to gently re-join the world. I can meet friends for social gatherings and cope with the noise and the interaction. I can be active through the day and not pay the price for it afterwards and for days following."

However the flu-like side effects following each dose were substantial - a sore throat, sore muscles and fatigue. The worst of these would last, reliably, for a week after each inoculation, with lesser, although still significant, symptoms continuing for another 2 months. After discussing my situation with someone experienced in HT, I decided to try using TSO, which I started 4 months ago. The doses I am using currently are 0.4ml drawn from a 15ml bottle containing 2500 ova, and dosing at 4 day intervals. This regime has worked very well for me, and the side effects from the TSO have been much more manageable than with NA. Since beginning HT, I have had significant benefits. I have far greater exercise tolerance and my cognitive function and mood have both also improved, although these improvements do require continued careful dosing to maintain. I still have to be careful to avoid excessive stressors, but I am the healthiest I have been since I was first diagnosed at the age of 15 (I'm now 27) and I have improved to such an extent as to be able to resume full time study towards my degree."

* "I have CIRS from mould illness, MCAS and histamine Intolerance, although, when I began HT, I wasn’t aware of these diagnoses. I must say HT has been a lifesaver for me, and I found NA and TSO extremely helpful with mould symptoms; HDC, not so much. I started with 8 NA in 2019 and felt positive effects within the first three months. When I started TSO, I had a sophisticated colony of NA on board already. Zero side effects to a full course of TSO. The effects of both species on board were absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t afford to take TSO after that, unfortunately, and so benefits declined rapidly after finishing the last dose. Through this period, I was living with mould. Hence, I am confident that HT has helped me a great deal with the symptoms of mould illness."

About 2-3 pounds of inflammation, so that was significantly decreased also. No staying in bed for 24 hours due to severe and debilitating pain.

She began just 3 months ago. Last week she went on a nature trail / kayaking vacation with a group of 12 people. She had asked for no gluten meals but somehow that was not done. So she spent 7 days eating gluten every day. It had no negative impact at all. No inflammation, no depression feeling during or after the trip. Nothing. We believe this to due to TSO. It is the only thing that has changed in her lifestyle. For at least 10 years she always reacted to the slightest amount of gluten. Just not this time around.

(Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* "Our son, who is 10 and has Autism as well as PANDAS, was our first child to go on TSO and he has benefited greatly from it. It is also helping quite a lot with his allergies. (High Histamines = raging BAD mood for him.) His bloodwork results have been coming back close to normal where they'd not ever been close to normal in the past. Similar with our daughter, who is almost 13 and who began TSO in January 2013. She has had PANDAS and OCD for 9-10 years, since she was a toddler, but with the addition of TSO to her regimen, she lost her OCD overnight in January and it's not returned, though she says she can feel a little "buzzing" when it's time for more TSO, and that means the benefit is starting to wane. She was doing well enough in April to take a break from IVIG, at which point her bloodwork began coming in normal. She continues TSO every 2 weeks and is now happy and stable." (Link expired)

* “5 months without a PANDAS flare up!! Thank you helminths!! My ASD & PANDAS daughter was having horrible anxiety, involuntary movements, some really scary tongue and breathing tics and, before she got her 45 Necator Americanus helminths, she was having flares every month. I was so desperate to stop the suffering and I only regret not doing it two years ago when I first heard of helminthic therapy and thought it was just crazy. There was a dramatic worsening of tics the first few weeks. At times it seemed like she was for sure starting a new flare but the symptoms would only last for minutes or a couple hours, and there has been a complete resolution of PANDAS flare ups now. I had tried TSO before the NA and I was amazed at the immediate improvements but I just couldn't afford to pay $400 a month for the TSO. The majority of research that I found on helminths for autoimmune conditions is for NA, and the cost is better since they live 3+ years.” (Edited from several posts in this thread: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1068326963223258/])

* These two posts are about the same child:
**“My son was very very sick when we started HDC worms. We have been on them every two weeks for over a year... Worms have changed my kids life drastically. He was on 3 antibiotics to treat his PANDAS before. He was always up and down and under weight. He gained over 5 inches in 7 months on the worms. Is 30 percentile in weight and 20 percentile now in height. This is a kid that never even made the charts.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1181463555242931/]
**“We do HDC for over a year for my PANDAS autism kid. Best thing we have ever done. He was on 3 antibiotics and still having flares before we started. He is 12 and for the first time since 4 off all antibiotics and no flares for this entire year. Ocds, tics and anxiety so much better. Using more language. Trying so many new things. Went from dangerously underweight to 30 percentile. Grew over 6 inches in one year. Overall healthier. Best thing we could have ever done. He is just so easy going and that is not what anyone would have said about him before.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1187124991343454/]

* "Good news re: my PANS / PANDAS child (age 9) - his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) decreased by 95% practically overnight, following his 4th dose of 2,500 TSO. It has lasted for 2 days now, where he no longer cares where things are placed/ordered around our home. Previously, if one thing was "out of place" he would grow very agitated and angry until it was back the way he needed it to be. We started him on a half dose (1,200) of TSO at the beginning of October with 2,500 TSO every two weeks after. He would temporarily get worse after each dose, but it was worth it. His appetite has also improved lately. Best thing I have heard all year - 'Mama, I'm so happy I don't care where things go any more.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1494227933966490/] And an update, two years later... “He’s still doing well. The severe OCD, constant crankiness and rages never returned. He does backslide a bit during pollen season where we live - a touch of OCD, some anger and crying over little things. As soon as he's done crying, he's himself. This happens a few times a week during pollen season.

He couldn’t go alone into any room in our house. We had to have all the lights on 24 hours per day. He would ask me, “Mama, where are you?” hundreds of times a day when I had not moved. He could only sleep lying on top of my body. This was on amoxicillin for five straight months. Off of it, he was worse.

* “Omg, my PANDAS son is infected with strep and he's NOT in a full on flare! This is HUGE. In the past when he's been infected, I know it before the doctors do. His behaviors go off the charts, and we start thinking things like maybe he needs to go to a mental institution for treatment. This time, his behaviors have increased slightly, and I was honestly thinking that maybe the HDC wasn't effective for him and this was a sign of that. Instead, he's been fighting the infection and only slightly worsened.

* “My son, who is 15, is on the autism spectrum, is gay, overweight, fatigued, depressed, and has PANDAS/POTS and OCD, along with mast cell and allergy issues. The list is long! He started using helminths to treat the PANDAS. The first dose was 5 NA in November 2019, then a second dose of 5 in May 2020. He has always struggled with being awkward and different, and had difficulty expressing what he was feeling, but I didn’t realise just how severely depressed he had become. When he told me how much he had hated himself for so long, it broke my heart. His anxiety was off the charts. He said he was suicidal. Fortunately, a month on helminths has cleared his brain. He wakes up early now, and has lost 15 lbs. It’s like night and day, like a switch turned off and his inflammation is gone, and I am so thankful for this. I wish I had given NA to him 5 years ago. He's doing so great on them. Helminths have literally saved his life.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3419265288129402/]

* “HDC (I take 10 every three weeks) have a positive impact on my mood. My case may be different from others, but... PANS is what leads to my low mood. In PANS, autoantibodies attach to dopamine and glutamate receptors in the basal ganglia, which blocks their transmission in normal amounts. I think my good mood when I take HDC is likely because it helps whatever is leading to those autoantibodies being in the wrong place (my basal ganglia receptors), so more dopamine and glutamate can reach their proper destination. Not sure if these mechanics apply to many other disorders, though.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2296657347056874/?comment_id=2334347929954482&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D] (There's more about this individual on her blog, [https://web.archive.org/web/20230513003041/https://mysymbiontjourney.wordpress.com/ Old Friends].)

* "Should anyone ever wonder if hookworm (NA) can help with salicylate sensitivity, in my case I think it’s doing exactly that... Last night I tried eating a boiled carrot, since they are high in salicylates, and barely reacted. This morning I’m sipping a cup of organic coffee (also pretty high on the scale) and enjoying it. None of this would have been possible a month ago!" [http://gettinghealthiernow.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/hookworm-only-starting-over/]

She was always crying… It's now 7 months since we started the therapy (with NA) and we are already seeing a good reduction in her salicylate intolerance. She is eating high-salicylate foods in greater amounts, like tomato sauce, mandarins, grapes, broccoli, nectarines, tinned salmon and lemonade ice poles, with no reaction. Her stomach aches have also now gone and so has her eczema… We tried many different alternative therapies in the past… nothing has really worked until now… and people who haven't seen our daughter for a while are surprised by how different she is now."

Symptoms were extreme muscle soreness and extreme lethargy. Also anxiety and depression. Enter helminths (HDC). They dramatically reduced my reactions to salicylates, cured the anxiety. Didn't do so much for the carbs intolerance though. When I had been on them for a year I went off them. I deteriorated quickly. Will never go off them again. I cant live without them.

::And an update, nine months later:
::“Since starting HT I have had remission of sciatic pain from movement though there still is the L3-L4 narrowing which is there for good. My previous history was a tweaked sciatic. Was bed ridden for weeks, and a month to two months for pain to subside. A week ago I tweaked the nerve as bad as I every have, leaving me unable to move (bed to upright was a 5 minute process). I took 15mg prednisone and 30mg codeine and two hrs later this only marginally relieved the pain. My initial response was to get a two week supply of the above drugs for my recovery so my expectation based on severity was a long one. At about fours hours, I was walking and getting up carefully in 10 seconds. It was like all the inflammation dropped away though still reactive to rotational factors. I did not take any more drugs and, at a week, I feel completely normal again! I cannot explain this other than helminths.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2619124714810134/]

* “The best thing I’ve found so far (8 months into using NA to treat ankylosing spondylitis) is that I haven’t had a single flair up of sciatica since I started taking helminths.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2391605270895414/?comment_id=2397347986987809]

* "I have seen 3 surgeons. All 3 said l require-a triple fusion (to treat lower back pain) and that the surgery would result in me still being in pain. Prior to NA, l frequently spent up to 21 hours a day in Zero G Position in bed. l couldn’t walk, stand or sit for excruciating pain for more than 3 hours. I Started 11 months ago with 3 NA, and micro-dosing has been the key for me. My results from NA would start wearing off at 8 weeks, so I now dose every 6 weeks, and I’m still increasing the dosage, using my lungs as my barometer. My most recent dose was 5 NA, and the next dose will be 6 NA.
:* NO more horrendous nightly asthma.

My testicles began to grow and grow, getting heavier, and heavier. Now, I haven’t been weighing them on the bathroom scale, and keeping a chart of their progress, mind you. It’s just something a feller notices. Anyway, now they are a normal size, like when I was younger, my “reproductive health” has increased significantly. Quite interesting.

** "I undertook helminthic therapy with open eyes and the realization that it doesn't work for everyone. So, regretfully, I am probably going to kill off my human whipworm (trichuris trichuria, TT) infection soon after around 1.5 years.

I have my life back." (Reported in a private discussion, Jan 2012)

* "I had UC for 5 years and was in a clinical study in Iowa city that changed my life. I've been in remission for 8 years now. No sign of the disease on my last colonoscopy.

* "This treatment has put my UC in complete remission and I am prescription free (yippie). I was able to get completely off prednisone, 6-MP, and asocol. I am medication free and symptom free. I feel and function completely normally! I would not have graduated, or have a career, or a normal life in any way had it not been for this therapy. I can't say enough good things about it!!!" (Reported in a private discussion, May 2012)

* “I was diagnosed with UC in 2008… Started HT therapy in May 2011... and I've been in complete remission for over 6 months now. I'm very happy and very grateful. I just graduated from a graduate program in May 2012 and I'm starting a new career. It would not have been possible without this treatment. HT gave me my life back.” (Reported in a private discussion, Jun 2012)

* "I suffered from a serious case of UC… I've been hospitalized several times with serious bleeding and infection, the doctors told me to evaluate surgery if it ever flared up again. After starting HT (human whipworms) my UC is completely gone, so is my asthma, and my allergies and hypoglycemia as well. I still can't believe it. It actually started working 2 weeks into therapy after the first dose (improvement in pain/stool/stomach activity/rumbling etc.) so I feel like it's a miracle… It's so nice to able to live again! (I work again and function normally) It feels like I can hardly remember how it was to be 'normal' … as I see it the whipworms saved my life :-)" Edited from two posts. (Links expired)

At some points during the last six years I've had to recieve iron infusions because my iron levels were so low, but now my iron is actually on the high side of normal. I have one dose left and still have some UC symtoms, but overall things have improved and the lab results are really quite surprising." (Reported in a private message, Aug 2013)

* “Unless the other foot is about to drop, my worms have absolutely changed my life. Off of immune modulating drugs and in remission.

I was a year and a half into HT at the start of the year and flaring. My GI wouldn't do my colonoscopy because I was so inflamed he thought I would perf. He thought I should be admitted for IV steroids and started on Remicade (but) I have been in complete remission for the past two months and have never felt as good.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/855123671210256/]

* “I got the TTO and was thrilled with the results. I went from being threatened at having my entire colon removed, to eating and feeling normal. As long as I keep my colony, I feel good. My GI was amazed to do a colonoscopy and my insides looked great. It's been about 5 years.

* “Going on almost two years of NA for ulcerative colitis. I started with 10 NA and that put me in remission within 2 months. My symptoms seem to flare when NA gets low. I keep adding 10 NA every 4 months and that seems to be working out. No side effects aside from inoculation rash. I think NA helps tamp down inflammation overall and gives the TTO a chance to take hold. I think NA helps with stool formation while TTO heals colon ulcers, thus stopping blood and mucus loss, restoring gut wall. Not taking any other meds. I'm amazed and grateful.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1632453993477216/] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1826863680702912/]

* “I have Crohns Colitis — all my inflammation has been in my colon and rectum. I spent ungodly amounts of money over several years working with elite functional medicine docs. And I eventually came to the conclusion it wasn’t going to work for me… I’ve been doing helminths for about 2 years, and I am completely symptom free and have almost weaned off meds entirely (I take 25mg of 6mp/daily). I used to eat strict Paleo but now I eat 80% really clean and the other 20% I don’t worry as much about. Last night I had vodka, beer, bread, and a donut at my friends wedding. I’m fine today. Crohns Colitis really doesn’t impact my life anymore. Last colonoscopy was basically squeaky clean and my doc is ok with me going off all meds in March if nothing changes.” (Edited from two posts: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1634529973269618/?comment_id=1634673803255235&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D] [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2511716132217660/?comment_id=251236592215268])

* “At my worst flare, I had 15 ulcers in my colon. None of my colon was functioning, it was just trying to survive the attack from my immune system. The HDC was remarkable! My response to them convinced me to try the NA and TSO. My first colony of NA did not survive my immune response. However, the TSO was like a miracle drug. I felt better almost after the first dose. TSO really help when a flare is coming on. I calmed 2 flares using those. After taking the TSO for a year, I have decided to give the NA another try because the cost of the TSO is not sustainable for me.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1852446168144663/?comment_id=1852697221452891&reply_comment_id=1852719821450631&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R4%22%7D]

I have had this illness since I was 12 and, till 24, I have been having scopes yearly or every 2 years at max and they always always have shown either mild, moderate or severe inflammation. At my worst, I was recommended to take Humira/ Remicade due to severe illness that put me out for about 2 years. I refused it and was on the verge of total collectomy… Before I started Hookworms, I was at the beginning of a relapse and had pain, nausea, cramping, diarrhea and constipation alternating each other and a lot of fatigue etc. After my first dose - 3 weeks into - I started to feel a positive difference and it's been upwards since then.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/1868023383253608/] “UPDATE: I went in to my doctor today (and) what shocked me and my doctor are my biopsy results.

* “Moderate colitis since age 23. Ulcers, urgency, the whole digestive problems. Inflammatory arthritis so bad I couldn’t walk from the car into my classroom. Sores in my mouth, on my eyelids, fatigue mental and physical. Extreme food sensitivity, emotional distress as a result. I tried dietary modifications, acupuncture herbal therapy, massage, mental health therapy, western meds… A bunch of stuff. I am now on (human) whipworm and hookworm and have a completely different quality of life. I can go biking, skiing, skateboarding, backpacking... All sorts of different activities that I couldn’t do beforehand. I can eat a great variety of foods and even cheat a little bit on my anti-inflammatory diet. I stay away from gluten, soy, dairy, and eggs. But I can cheat on the gluten soy and eggs with minimal digestive rumblings. The greatest benefit has been to my anxiety about daily life. I have a regular digestive function now and can, for the most part, go about my life without worrying.

* “I am 40 years old and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 20 years ago. About five years ago, my gastroenterologist wanted to start discussions about removing a portion of my colon because of several precancerous polyps found during a colonoscopy. Not long after that, I started HT with 50 HDC every 2 weeks, and have continued that regime for the last 5 years. I started seeing improvements almost immediately. The day after my first dose I had fewer urges to go to the bathroom and, after a week or two, I had no more blood in my stool. I also take TTO at about 600 ova every year, 50 bi-weekly until I have taken all 600, or about 12 weeks. I’ve done that every year(ish) for the last 4-5 years. I have achieved 5-6 years of remission, and I am 100% better today compared to before I started taking helminths. My gastroenterologist was skeptical until he had confirmation through a colonoscopy. I've since had other colonoscopies and still found to be in remission.” [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/2800049873384283/]

* "In 2018, I was starting the conversation with my doctor to remove my colon. Prednisone wasn't having any effect whatsoever.

I was able to get back on an unrestricted diet 40 days after inoculation. I had known about hookworms for years as a treatment for IBD but it took the real possibility of bowel surgery in my near future to push me to pull the trigger.

* "I had a patient who he'd had ulcerative colitis and had not been in remission for 20 years. And usually, I'm a naturopathic doctor, I'm not doing one thing. I'm looking at the whole person and saying, "Oh, let's give a nudge here, a nudge there, what can we do?" And so it could be hard to tease out what is helping and what is not helping. But this guy came to see me and he said, "Look, I read an article you wrote about helminths. I want to try helminths." He wasn't interested in any of my other stuff, which is fine. And so we did. Now, for him, we gave him Necator americanus and Trichuris trichiura. Well, I love that combo actually. So we didn't have that to tease out because he got both at once, but six months later, he came to me and he said, "I feel like I want to cry because I'm just completely better. And if I just known about this 20 years ago, I would've had such a different life maybe at this point." But he was very, very thrilled to finally, finally be in remission for the first time in decades. So that was great."

This page lists over 2,000 papers and reports of scientific studies relating to helminthic therapy and closely associated topics such as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis Hygiene Hypothesis], the [https://evmedreview.com/?p=103 Old Friends' Hypothesis], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mismatch_theory Evolutionary Mismatch Theory] and [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21741180 Biome Depletion Theory] / [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29133248 Biota Alteration Theory].

There are four organisms being used currently in helminthic therapy.

* Human hookworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necator_americanus Necator americanus] (NA)
* Human whipworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichuris_trichiura Trichuris trichiura] (TTO)
* Pig whipworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichuris_suis Trichuris suis] (TSO)
* Rat tapeworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenolepis_diminuta Hymenolepis diminuta] (HDC)

Some of the reports and papers listed below have focussed on the effects of other species of helminth, or molecules derived from them, but all are nevertheless valuable for the insights they provide about the therapeutic and prophylactic effects of helminths.

The following quotes illustrate the thinking among researchers who have investigated the therapeutic use of living helminths.

{{Quote|indent}}Although some helminths are known to cause disease and have been labeled parasites, it is now clear that some exposure to this class of organisms is necessary for human health. (Bono-Lunn et al) [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10601333.2016.1210159]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}The results strongly support previous indications that helminth therapy can effectively treat a wide range of allergies, autoimmune conditions and neuropsychiatric disorders. (Liu et al) [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27240605/]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}What was a costly and sometimes risky venture into the unknown, undertaken by only a few 10 years ago, is rapidly becoming a readily available and well-established resource currently used by thousands of individuals. (Cheng et al, 2015) [[media:Overcoming_Evolutionary_Mismatch_by_Self-Treatment_with_Helminths.pdf | (PDF)]]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Although self-treatment with helminths cannot be recommended by medical professionals due to a lack of blinded, placebo controlled trials, neither should it be discouraged since the available evidence suggests that it is beneficial in most cases when practiced by knowledgeable individuals. (Parker and Morey) [https://evmedreview.com/progress-on-reconstituting-the-depleted-biome-to-prevent-immune-disorders/]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}In developed countries, where we are well nourished, worms are potentially good. If I had Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or multiple sclerosis, I would infect myself without hesitation. (Prof Alex Loukas, Australian Institute of Tropical Health & Medicine) [https://lifeonus.vhx.tv]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Some patients with milder disease or more inclined for natural treatments may consider this as an option. (Prof Constantinescu, Nottingham University, commenting about Multiple Sclerosis.) [https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200618150223.htm]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}All immunocompetent humans need regular exposure to helminths in order to maintain optimal immune function and avoid risk for inflammation-associated disease… access to helminths is a basic human need. (Smyth et al) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29064448]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}We need to embrace the view that helminths are a necessary component of the ecosystem of a healthy body, and that helminths should be cultivated for population-wide biota restoration. (Villeneuve et al) [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1286457917301855?via%3Dihub]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Biome reconstitution… holds a promise for exposure of all individuals to naturally occurring organisms or selected variants of those organisms in a way that is required for human health. Such exposure must be considered a fundamental human right worthy of government support rather than an option for pharmaceutical development. (Parker and Ollerton) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24481190]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}In some not too distant futurity, there may come a day when we all take ‘helminth supplements’ along with our Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and whatever else goes to make up a modern balanced diet. (Zaccone et al) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16965287]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Twenty years from now everybody is going to have a helminth, and no insurance company will begin to cover you if you don’t have your helminths. We’re very confident in the science, that every single human being needs a helminth. It’s part of our biology. (Prof William Parker) [https://web.archive.org/web/20221227042743/https://centerforhealthjournalism.org/fellowships/projects/hooked-hookworms-and-other-parasites]{{Quote|/indent}}

== Problems with clinical trials using live helminths ==

There have been significant issues with the design of some of the clinical trials conducted to assess the therapeutic efficacy of live helminths, particularly one raft of more than a dozen studies published between 2011 and 2022. This casts doubt on the reliability of the conclusions drawn by the authors of these papers. For more detail, see the following.
* [[Helminthic therapy clinical trials and observational studies#Problems with clinical trials using live helminths | '''Problems with clinical trials using live helminths''']]

== '''Research papers & articles''' ==

::This research was also reported in Science Daily, where it was noted that, “The findings of the research… show that infecting MS patients with a safe dose of… Necator americanus induces immunoregulatory responses and boosts the number of cells which help keep the immune system under control.” [https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200618150223.htm]
::In fact, the trial data reveal that '''more than half the patients given hookworms did not develop any new lesions''', and the conclusion of the trial's lead researcher was that, "there would be a niche for this approach - for individuals with mild disease who don't want to take immunomodulating drugs for life and would prefer a more natural approach.” [https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/932593]
::The conclusion published by this study's authors in their formal report - that NA appeared to be ineffective against MS - and the sceptical tenor of the editorial from Jama Neurology, [https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/article-abstract/2767083] were based on the fact that the particular statistical endpoint determined for the trial by its designers - the cumulative number of new/enlarging T2 and new enhancing T1 lesions at month 9 - had not been reached. This conclusion is a glaring example of the endemic failure within the mainstream medical research community to understand, and accommodate, the unique requirements of living organisms when they are being trialled as a therapy.

All but one had a treatment period of only 12 weeks, which is inadequate when assessing the efficacy of helminths, and the only study with a longer treatment period was designed to assess the safety and tolerability, and not the efficacy, of a ''single'' dose of TSO. Four of the six studies selected had also used a novel TSO formulation with a pH of 5, when it is known that storage of TSO at a pH above 4 may impede its therapeutic effect in humans. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28720335] The conclusions drawn by the authors of this study are therefore not reliable.

::Comment by Detlev Goj, owner of Ovamed and developer of TSO: "This was an experiment by the Danish group where neither I or Ovamed was involved. It is not known from where this group has got the eggs from. They don't say that in their publication either. Strangely, this patients has received TTO (trichiuris trichura, the human whipworm, prior to Trichuris suis from the very same group of authors [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pim.12394]. It is under very strong doubt that the worms the authors claim to have found in this patient was Trichuris suis rather than from the previous inoculation he had with TTO. Especially because he was only treated with one dose of Mebendazole. TTO is quite difficult to kill and it takes much more than a quick shot of Mebendazole".

This page lists over 2,000 papers and reports of scientific studies relating to helminthic therapy and closely associated topics such as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis Hygiene Hypothesis], the [https://evmedreview.com/?p=103 Old Friends' Hypothesis], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mismatch_theory Evolutionary Mismatch Theory] and [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21741180 Biome Depletion Theory] / [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29133248 Biota Alteration Theory].

There are four organisms being used currently in helminthic therapy.

* Human hookworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necator_americanus Necator americanus] (NA)
* Human whipworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichuris_trichiura Trichuris trichiura] (TTO)
* Pig whipworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichuris_suis Trichuris suis] (TSO)
* Rat tapeworm, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenolepis_diminuta Hymenolepis diminuta] (HDC)

Some of the reports and papers listed below have focussed on the effects of other species of helminth, or molecules derived from them, but all are nevertheless valuable for the insights they provide about the therapeutic and prophylactic effects of helminths.

The following quotes illustrate the thinking among researchers who have investigated the therapeutic use of living helminths.

{{Quote|indent}}Although some helminths are known to cause disease and have been labeled parasites, it is now clear that some exposure to this class of organisms is necessary for human health. (Bono-Lunn et al) [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10601333.2016.1210159]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}The results strongly support previous indications that helminth therapy can effectively treat a wide range of allergies, autoimmune conditions and neuropsychiatric disorders. (Liu et al) [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27240605/]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}What was a costly and sometimes risky venture into the unknown, undertaken by only a few 10 years ago, is rapidly becoming a readily available and well-established resource currently used by thousands of individuals. (Cheng et al, 2015) [[media:Overcoming_Evolutionary_Mismatch_by_Self-Treatment_with_Helminths.pdf | (PDF)]]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Although self-treatment with helminths cannot be recommended by medical professionals due to a lack of blinded, placebo controlled trials, neither should it be discouraged since the available evidence suggests that it is beneficial in most cases when practiced by knowledgeable individuals. (Parker and Morey) [https://evmedreview.com/progress-on-reconstituting-the-depleted-biome-to-prevent-immune-disorders/]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}In developed countries, where we are well nourished, worms are potentially good. If I had Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or multiple sclerosis, I would infect myself without hesitation. (Prof Alex Loukas, Australian Institute of Tropical Health & Medicine) [https://lifeonus.vhx.tv]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Some patients with milder disease or more inclined for natural treatments may consider this as an option. (Prof Constantinescu, Nottingham University, commenting about Multiple Sclerosis.) [https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200618150223.htm]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}All immunocompetent humans need regular exposure to helminths in order to maintain optimal immune function and avoid risk for inflammation-associated disease… access to helminths is a basic human need. (Smyth et al) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29064448]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}We need to embrace the view that helminths are a necessary component of the ecosystem of a healthy body, and that helminths should be cultivated for population-wide biota restoration. (Villeneuve et al) [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1286457917301855?via%3Dihub]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Biome reconstitution… holds a promise for exposure of all individuals to naturally occurring organisms or selected variants of those organisms in a way that is required for human health. Such exposure must be considered a fundamental human right worthy of government support rather than an option for pharmaceutical development. (Parker and Ollerton) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24481190]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}In some not too distant futurity, there may come a day when we all take ‘helminth supplements’ along with our Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and whatever else goes to make up a modern balanced diet. (Zaccone et al) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16965287]{{Quote|/indent}}

{{Quote|indent}}Twenty years from now everybody is going to have a helminth, and no insurance company will begin to cover you if you don’t have your helminths. We’re very confident in the science, that every single human being needs a helminth. It’s part of our biology. (Prof William Parker) [https://web.archive.org/web/20221227042743/https://centerforhealthjournalism.org/fellowships/projects/hooked-hookworms-and-other-parasites]{{Quote|/indent}}

== Problems with clinical trials using live helminths ==

There have been significant issues with the design of some of the clinical trials conducted to assess the therapeutic efficacy of live helminths, particularly one raft of more than a dozen studies published between 2011 and 2022. This casts doubt on the reliability of the conclusions drawn by the authors of these papers. For more detail, see the following.
* [[Helminthic therapy clinical trials and observational studies#Problems with clinical trials using live helminths | '''Problems with clinical trials using live helminths''']]

== '''Research papers & articles''' ==

Here are several pages presenting different selections of papers and articles. Most of the contents of these shorter selections are also listed by year in the main list, below.

::This research was also reported in Science Daily, where it was noted that, “The findings of the research… show that infecting MS patients with a safe dose of… Necator americanus induces immunoregulatory responses and boosts the number of cells which help keep the immune system under control.” [https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200618150223.htm]
::In fact, the trial data reveal that '''more than half the patients given hookworms did not develop any new lesions''', and the conclusion of the trial's lead researcher was that, "there would be a niche for this approach - for individuals with mild disease who don't want to take immunomodulating drugs for life and would prefer a more natural approach.” [https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/932593]
::The conclusion published by this study's authors in their formal report - that NA appeared to be ineffective against MS - and the sceptical tenor of the editorial from Jama Neurology, [https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/article-abstract/2767083] were based on the fact that the particular statistical endpoint determined for the trial by its designers - the cumulative number of new/enlarging T2 and new enhancing T1 lesions at month 9 - had not been reached. This conclusion is a glaring example of the endemic failure within the mainstream medical research community to understand, and accommodate, the unique requirements of living organisms when they are being trialled as a therapy.

All but one had a treatment period of only 12 weeks, which is inadequate when assessing the efficacy of helminths, and the only study with a longer treatment period was designed to assess the safety and tolerability, and not the efficacy, of a ''single'' dose of TSO. Four of the six studies selected had also used a novel TSO formulation with a pH of 5, when it is known that storage of TSO at a pH above 4 may impede its therapeutic effect in humans. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28720335] The conclusions drawn by the authors of this study are therefore not reliable.

::Comment by Detlev Goj, owner of Ovamed and developer of TSO: "This was an experiment by the Danish group where neither I or Ovamed was involved. It is not known from where this group has got the eggs from. They don't say that in their publication either. Strangely, this patients has received TTO (trichiuris trichura, the human whipworm, prior to Trichuris suis from the very same group of authors [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pim.12394]. It is under very strong doubt that the worms the authors claim to have found in this patient was Trichuris suis rather than from the previous inoculation he had with TTO. Especially because he was only treated with one dose of Mebendazole. TTO is quite difficult to kill and it takes much more than a quick shot of Mebendazole".
