Worms or tobacco
Van Chocstraw
immune diseases like colitis. We killed the worms, now everybody is sick.
It's also a fact that only non-smokers and ex-smokers get colitis.
Smokers do not.
A tape worm may also help obesity.
Apparently these things are all taboo to talk about. Is it that the drug
companies DO NOT want fixes?

electronically and, if so, would you mind posting them for us all to read?
The Trichuris suis ova (the eggs of a nematode worm, the pig wipworm, aka
TSO) therapy has been under investigation for years
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helminthic_therapy and there are plenty of 2009
publications in PubMed that refer to the potential of the treatment
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez but, from my reading, nobody seems
to have made any real headway for the last couple of years
http://search.medscape.com/medscape-search?queryText=Trichuris%20suris%20Crohn%27s
Personally, I suspect that some of the reticence displayed to bring the eggs
to market, as a Crohn's therapy, is also on the side of the patients. Can
the doctors drum up enough patients for statistically significant clinical
trials, which require hundreds of patients per arm - verum and placebo (read
investigational drug and sugar tablet)? We have spent decades trying to get
rid of our parasites and chronic infections: lice, fleas, tapeworms,
nematode worms, fungi, amoeba, mosquitoes and infecting ourselves
deliberately as a medical therapy requires a complete change in mindset.

I believe that we might have had one person here who reported that they were
going to try it, but I don't remember them reporting back. However, no
health insurance company would cover it, as an unproven (to the regulatory
authorities) treatment, and it was going to cost a few thousand dollars for
a month's treatment or so. If I remember rightly Mexico might have been
mentioned or it might not have been.
If you try it please let us know how you get on. However, a search of the
NIH clinical trials database does not reveal an actively recruiting TSO
clinical trial in the USA, where you might be based.

To my knowledge, the treatment has only been market authorised in Thailand
(as a natural treatment). Companies have been set up in Germany and
Thailand, but no market authorisation has been obtained for Europe)

Only when a drug has been market authorised by the national regulatory
authority, for example the FDA in the USA, will a health insurer consider
covering costs.
In Germany, if the doctor, signs a statement to the effect that the
treatment is absolutely necessary as a last resort and having exhausted all
other avenues then we can import the worms from Denmark, but the treatment
still has a big question mark over it. On the downside we have to pay for it
ourselves and the treating doctor has full responsibility should something
go wrong. I suspect that there are few doctors who would actually take this
risk. T. suris is not a natural parasite of the humans and thus the
treatment must be repeated ever couple of weeks (worm survives only a couple
of weeks in our intestines). Reference for the polyglots here in German:

The reported 79% recovery rates have only been obtained from one small
phase II clinical trials. http://gut.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/54/1/87
In the good old days when we all had worms, without exception, 300-500 out
of every thousand children didn't reach their fifth birthday, indubitibly
selecting out those with the weakest and/or damaged immune systems, amongst
them IBD and patients with other (auto)immune disease. Compare the current
3-8 deaths prior to the fifth year per 1000 births in the western world.
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/mdg/SeriesDetail.aspx?srid=561 Aghanistan and
Sierra Leone are currently the countries with the worst 5-year child
mortality figures, 257 and 262, respectively.
We can thank the surgeons Ignaz Philip Semelweiss, Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Joseph Lister who realised in the 1800s that good hygiene was necessary for
the survival of the operated patients

Another milestone was Fleming's discovery of the antibiotic Penicillin in
1928, which came into its own in the last few years of WWII.

to date and page 43 for deaths per live births from 1960 to date.
