Gluten migranes at night

I have been struggling with migranes from eating gluten or coconut oil for years now. The strange thing that I don't understand is...I only get the headaches in middle of night. Not after eating gluten but in middle of night. I haven't been able to find any information on why only at night. Has anybody else heard of this?

An early incubation and inoculation

I did another test incubation that turned out to be successful. Though it was a month early, I didn't see any harm in inoculating early with 25 larvae. This time I used 5 jars. Three had zero larvae, one had an ok yield, and the last had good/very good population. The included pic is from that last jar. With that kind of density, collecting the needed number of larvae is quick work.  This experience reinforces to me the necessity of using multiple jars. Five seems to be the right numbe

A recent Helminthic Therapy research article

Published 12 September 2024: Health-promoting worms? Prospects and pitfalls of helminth therapy A good summary of the topic with the low-down that more research is needed. In regard to celiac disease, the article says that while clinical studies haven't shown substantial results, self-treaters show consistent success (like me). I've mentioned this before, but doing a gluten challenge at 20 days post inoculation for a hookworm/celiac trial is doomed to fail. Necator americanus doesn't m

Well how about that!

I'm still trying my hand at hookworm incubation. This time I set 5 jars going all using the same method, namely small, hermetically sealable jars stuffed with a coffee filter smeared with a small amount of egg infected stool (mine) with about a 1/2 cm of mineral water at the base and left for 9 days. I made sure the filter paper always touched the water and that the stool was moistened well before smearing. To the best of my knowledge, I prepared each jar in exactly the same way. I even weighed

A two for four incubation

Last week I set four small jars going, and today I gave them a look. Two of the jars were completely devoid of larvae. The other two were "B-" results, enough for inoculation but would require a fair amount of work collecting the larvae as the observed quantity was low. Think maybe 5% of best jars I've seen so far. I'm becoming convinced this is truly all about the quantity of eggs in the stool. If the colony is having an off day and not releasing many eggs, resulting incubations will alway

Rating of 4 jars for this incubation round

Yesterday I inoculated myself with 25 Necator americanus larvae from the small red jar. There were so many larvae, all I had to do was find a couple of drops that had the number of larvae I was looking for and pipette them onto the bandage. No messing with sucking up individual larvae and placing them in a tube. Much quicker, and why having a large crop is a good thing. Why choose the number 25? I didn't feel like bothering with more frequent inoculations, and 25 was as high as I was prepared to

This time, a big incubation success!

The temperature was cooler for a stretch here near Detroit, so a week ago I decided to have another crack at incubating. As luck would have it, a day after I set up my jars, the temperature shot right back up again. I don't have A/C in my apartment, so I figured I had just wasted my time, but this morning when I checked one of the small jars I found things were hopping! In just a couple of drops there were all the larvae I would need, bopping and weaving, looking healthy as all heck. I didn

Incubation failure

I followed the same technique I used last time that yielded such huge results, but this time basically I got zilch from two small jars. A few corpses and several uninspired zombie looking larvae moping around under my microscope's lens. Not enough to consider spending the time trying to get a harvest for an inoculation. The only thing different this round was the heat. It's been consistently over 30C in my non-air conditioned apartment this week. Damn global warming! Since I'm new at t
