A Most Icky Way To Treat Crohn's

[RiceGuy]

Hi everybody. I ran into an article, and immediately thought of this board, so here I am to post a link. I hope I don't have Crohn's Disease anyway, but if this where the only way to treat it, ugh!

Again, this isn't for anyone who is grossed out easily, nor if you're currently enjoying a meal.

Umm, yeah, I've read about that already, and it's pretty gross. I hope, for your sake, you don't have Crohn's and won't have to try it!

So whay does it work? Do the worms feed on the gluten?

I don't know where it was, but I read a much larger article on that . . . they don't actually give you the worms . . they give you the eggs. They eggs have some effect on the gut that they reduce the inflammation. I can't remember where I saw it -- I know it was on the web, but it was the entire study. It actually made sense. You purchase the eggs, keep them refrigerated, and take them, I believe, as a capsule. They don't "hatch" in your digestive system, so you don't end up having the actual worms in your system -- the eggs simply do their thing and reduce the inflammation -- it's just I can't remember what "their thing" was. At one point, I was talking with my neurologist about trying this.

Yes, I remember an article about that--I think it was Karen (?) who posted it a while back. Lynne, it dosen't sound exactly like the one you describe, but I found it--

Hey Patti . . . . went to that thread, then the site -- No, that wasn't it . . . I actually went to a site where you could purchase the things . . . they described in detail how they sterilize them (I think three times . . not sure . . . ), how they're packaged, etc. There's an entire site devoted to the information and purchase. It's kind of cool, really, that it can remove that much intestinal inflammation.
