Takes about about a week to heal up. Surprisingly painless. -

Another concern I had with my cockup with the bandage was with the larvae sitting in the gauze potentially drying out and dying while I futzed around. Seems things are ok. I've been having tingles under the stretch bandage I used to secure placement. I'll know for sure in a couple of days when I see the entry wounds. -

I did a 5-day fast in March that really messed up my stools making faecal sample collection problematic. Apparently I'm one of the few people that really need fiber always going through my system to prevent things going to hell, so next time I fast I'll be doing that even though it does break the spirit of fasting. Seven days ago I set up 5 small jars... -
A HT support group admin recently added her hookworm incubation protocol

dixonpete commented on dixonpete's blog entry in Pete Dixon
My perspective on this topic will always be informed by my personal experience. I had had four GI related surgeries and was poised to have another big surgery, a colectomy, all because of my Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Hookworms put a stop to all that, including my reactions to gluten. I've had six years experience now doing hookworms, including 3X where... -

Necator americanus is particularly well adapted to humans. Personally I don't know of any cases outside of accidental overdoses where Helminthic Therapy self-treaters have suffered harm from NA. Sometimes the treatment doesn't help, and very occasionally side effects are intolerable. In those cases, if desired the worms can be killed off. Regular medical... -

I don't buy it either. I think a much better explanation is that humans evolved with hookworms just as hookworms evolved with us. The immunoregulatory activities that hookworms conduct to avoid expulsion from the gut have over time been incorporated into how the gut immune system works as a whole, and without hookworms present the gut immune system is incomplete... -

At this point I am free of colitis unless I ingest alcohol, peanuts/pistachios, and as I discovered just this week, red meat. I prefer pork and chicken over red meat anyway, and since alcoholism runs in my family losing alcohol I probably shouldn't regard as a great loss. Losing out on peanut butter sandwiches does suck though. In all, these three sensitivies... -

Parker didn't exactly go out of his way to sell Helminthic Therapy in this video, did he? In other videos online he's very much positive towards HT, especially Inflammatory Bowel Disease and MS. Acetaminophen is on the list of World Health Organization's Essential Medicines, yet according to Wikipedia it also is responsible for thousands of emergency... -

I have another doctor apt set in late January, I'll address it with him then. One thing hookworms do not protect me from is colitis induced by alcohol. It's a serious enough thing that even one drink can cause me regret. Nothing to do with gluten so far as I know, but a curious chink in the armor of hookworm protection.
-
When unprotected by hookworms I strongly associate any gluten exposure with wanting to pass out, wanting to throw up/actually throwing up, and total bowel evacuation, but I'm actually seeing my doctor in an hour or so, so I'll put the endoscopy question to him. What other blood tests do you recommend?
-
I forgot to add a status update on my health. I've had no issues. Been staying away from the foods I know cause GI problems: alcohol, peanuts and mayo. Stools are well-formed and of normal frequency. Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect.
-
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...

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...
