Myasthenia gravis[edit | edit source]

Anedoctal evidence

"Hi, yes the (NA hookworms) definitely help with myasthenia gravis. I have MG and I know this treatment works for me… The benefit was gradual, but I was doing hour long spinning classes 5 mths into the treatment. I had strength and endurance which I had completely lost to the MG… I accidentally killed (my worms) with oregano extract in December. My symptoms rebounded quite fast and that was totally scary. I couldn't work out anymore due to muscle fatigue etc. I have noticed that although it has only been 3 wks or so (since I re-dosed), my legs don't shake when I go up stairs, my double vision is gone, and I am starting to feel strong again."

“Hi, I just wanted to let people out there know that I have been using HDC with great success for the last 6 months. I have lupus and myasthenia gravis and it has definitely helped. Along with hdc I do also use NA and have been for three years, though for me it wasn't enough on its own and it gave me severe gi issues. I lost my hookworms frequently, but after adding the HDC I have not had that happen. One huge bonus for me is that I have had hair grow in that I thought was permanently gone due to the lupus.” (Reported in Mar 2014.)
