Has anyone actually done the whipworm/Helminth treatment??!!??

[MD84]

There has been a lot of talk in several months about the Helminth treatment. Has anyone actually gone through with it, or knows someone who has, either by clinical trials or purchasing them?

I am really curious to see how these things have turned out, but I haven't heard of any first hand accounts.

Ovamed bulletin board

Ovamed runs a bulletin board on their site for their customers. That would seem a good place to go for information from patients.

Dr, Joel Weinstock at TUFTS U pioneered this in 2004. Had really good results. Here is a link to an article. http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/305/5681/170
I emailed him and he said:
"Thank you for writing. I am sorry to hear about your CD. The agent is experimental and under review by both the European and US FDA. The agent is available from a company called Ovamed. You can find out more via their web site. I wish you and your family all the best."
I plan on trying to get some. Whatever works.

Ooops. That is a pay for article site. Just Google Weinstock, Joel, and you will get a whole list. There is one from a TV station that is free.
