Helminthic therapy, a type of immunotherapy, is the treatment of autoimmune diseases and immune disorders by means of deliberate infestation with a helminth or with the ova of a helminth. Helminths are parasitic worms such as hookworms and whipworms. Helminthic therapy is currently being studied as a treatment for several (non-viral) auto-immune diseases including celiac disease, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, asthma, and ulcerative colitis. Autoimmune liver disease has also been demonstrated to be modulated by active helminth infections.

I wish there was an easy source of hookworms. I am keen to try.
If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

I'd prefer to get the ones that have been cleaned and tested for blood borne diseases ;)
