I have read a few articles on the helminthic therapy. It's disturbing, I wouldn't want worms injected in me. Or even worse the bandaid larvae method! Disgusting. I'm curious as to how it's effective, cause wouldn't you think the parasite would cause more illness. And they may be able to travel through blood stream. That would be bad. But maybe they will find a different way to do it : )

It does sound gross, but then someone pointed out the worms are microscopic, so it's not that different to eating 'friendly bacteria' ie probiotics. Still, I don't think I could do it unless I was desperate!
