Hi all. I had to reinoculated again after a trip to the dentist. My symptoms had been worsening since getting a filling replaced but I didn't realise why. Now...
Good for you Ben. I was innoculated w/ N. Amercanus on 6/17 and on my last trip east I saw alot of the bathrooms of Hoboken and Philladelphia. Yesterday,...
Hi Marya, and all other clients of ours. This is very important, so please take the time to read this very lengthy post. It applies to all of you to some...
Jasper, This is an excellent post, encapsulating the key ideas of the Italian paper on helminths, genes and IBD that I introduced to you by way of the pubmed...
So what local anasthesia can we request when getting fillings replaced, crowns, etc. if we don't want to lose our infection? Should we just go back to the...
Perhaps a rubber mallet? Local anesthetics do not all result in hookworm loss, perhaps none do. We were not set up to do stool tests routinely until about a...
Deborah, I am planning on trying a little dilaudid (Hydromorphone- a fairly strong opiate) along with three drinks to see how it goes. I am in pain for months...
I'll ask if my dentist can get the cold packs. I think I may just try the whiskey. How many drinks would removing a large filling and getting a half crown...
Hi Debora I hope you had a good holiday. I will put together a list of those compounds that we know have caused problems and suitable substitutes. I think it...
Hi, while Marc makes that list be aware, as with everything to do with helminthic therapy it seems, that there is conflicting information out there. And that...
Jasper points are very true, there is a significant amount we do not know about exactly what is happening particularly with local anesthetics. For everyone's...
Hi everyone. Thanks for your kind wishes. I do hope to be able to keep reporting good news in the coming months. In answer to a few questions that have come...
hey ben, marvellous that you are responding to the therapy!!!!! you surely deserve! well, like you say, it could really be that you have always kept your...
This lessening of side effects on subsequent inoculation has been mentioned in the literature and is being reported by nearly everyone we treat. Interestingly...
ps.: :) ben, how many hookworms would this make with you all in all, assuming (theoretically) that you kept them always? i only know that you got 25...
... Hey Noah, i am quite certain that my first load (25) died during the operation i had a few months later. SO since then I have had 80 (i think!). I am...
Hi Ben, good news!!! lets hope that this continues. Just a question on timing of response following this inoculation, was there a significant difference this...
Hi Ben- You are the Ben that I met in Tijuana in October 2007, right? I am glad to hear from you again!, and doublely glad that you are feeling better! Ben,...
Well, as I said, the only drugs I'm on aside from the prednesone, are Asaol and Xifaxin, and I wasn't planning on going off of either of them. I have always...
Yes, you are keeping the others, so you should be fine. It is not a universal thing, and my theory about the explanation is just that, a theory. But something...
Hi Marya The way you taper off from steroids is dependent on the dose and the time you have been taking them. The problem is that steroid replacement dampens...
Marc It was a doctor who prescribed the steroids, and defined the taper, when I was in the hospital last. The attending physician, however, had no idea that...
