IBD Worm Therapy

[spicypineapple]

So this is probably old news, but have any of
you guys considered trying Helminthic Therapy? I read about it
and it seemed interesting. I heard it doesn't have enough proof
that it actually works, though. Has anybody tried it?

I have heard of it, but never really looked into the nitty gritty as to what type of worm etc....I do have some experience in dealing with pin worms, as my son has had them!!! And, well, after that, I was pretty grossed out and itchy for about 2 months. Now when ever anyone in the house complains of a itchy bum, I cringe.

Uck, we dealt with this, too in our house (luckily, only one of the boys had been affected) and that was some sick stuff!

Yeah, I don't know if I could purposely put a worm into my body...

Try doing a search on here for it. There were several threads about it. One member was using it, and we haven't heard from her. That could either be a reeeally good reason, or a reeeally bad reason. I do think that she felt it was working though. I'd love to hear from her. Not that I would try it unless absolutely desperate, but still, it would be interesting to hear how she's doing.

edit - The member's name is lovetotravel.
Here are her threads that she started.

2nd edit - and why oh why did I remember this, but Jeddie made me laugh SO hard with this post. It's about worms.
Start at post#10 if you just want his funnies, or read the beginning to get the set-up.

Just know, when your son says, "Mom, my butt itches". My little antennae pop out and so does the flash light...And I'm not looking for buried treasure!!!

God I don't know if I could purposely do that to myself even if proven pretty succesful.
