Helminthic Treatment was born from the hypothesis that a lack of symbiotic intestinal helminth worms has contributed to a massive increase in allergic, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions in the developed world.
Over the last two decades a number of clinical studies have shown helminths to be important immune regulators. Experimental colonization has resulted in relief of symptoms for sufferers of many immune related conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s/colitis), asthma, allergies, eczema, food intolerance, multiple sclerosis, celiac disease, and many other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and led to the conclusion that helminths could play a vital role in the treatment of immune dysfunction of all kinds in future.
