There was a guy on Coast to Coast talking about how hookworms can stop all kinds of things like allergies, celiac disease, irritable bowel, crohnes disease and others but causing the immune system to back off. He would give people hookworms. However the FDA came to visit and he left the country.

Seems like a hard way to go about it. I would think there are other ways to modulate the immune system. I think Vit D does that. And there are probably herbs also.

That guy would be running if he came my way, too!

Wonder what the long term effect is on the lining of your intestines??? Not to mention a weakened immune system, which I think is what's happening.

NO WAY JOSE! Worms are as destructive and aggressive and as piggy as a squirrel at the bird feeder. You'd be crazy to use them in any kind of treatment. How would you control them and get them to do only what you wanted? Their survival instinct is very strong. Same thing with that stupid idea of using tapeworms that someone had recently.

Yeah, they cause your immune system to back off those conditions because your immune system is now occupied with fighting the PARASITE that doesn't belong there. Then it disturbs your system and causes bad bacteria to grow and you get candida. Then you succumb to viruses and who knows what else because your immune systems is occupied with fighting the PARASITE that doesn't belong there.

Sorry, did I overreact a little? :0 Well, I guess if you suffer too greatly from one of those conditions and you really need your immune system to back off and are desperate...
