Growing hookworm for oneself is easy as pie (actually it will require some experimentation), since you do not need to worry about infecting yourself with...
Someone accused me of sarcasm when my thanks for Marya's beautifully worded and reasoned post was approved. I don't say thank you enough for the wonderfully...
I believe that the eyepiece is 10X magnification, so the 10X setting on the microscope = 100 X. Yes, I could see the eggs at this setting; they were about the...
... I followed the precise instructions from the link I provided. They state: "The McMaster technique uses a counting chamber which enables a known volume of...
Thanks Debora As we have discussed by email, this is potentially a useful technique. I would have thought variability in ova production and the water content...
... I looked into thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) a bit in the literature. There's some fascinating work: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin: master switch for...
As jigsaws go I find this one particularly impressive, I am struggling at this point to keep track of the existing pieces, the fact the new ones keep...
It's probably the result of reading too much 19th century literature. M PS. I'll likely be in the Hospital tomorrow. I woke up yesterday w/ a 101.5 deg. F....
Is it wise to try helminthic therapy (hook and/or whip) on a person with chronically high eosinophils -- 7 % (ref 0-4%) and extremely high IgE levels -- around...
Thank you, Jasper, for the encouragement. As you mention, the dangers of person to person infection just don't apply to self reinfection. I don't have to...
Hello everyone, I am a documentary filmmaker in my final semester of graduate school at New York University--and I am also a scientist with an extensive...
Eosinophils and IgE can be elevated for a number of reasons, and it would be important to determine, to the extent possible, the reason the person has elevated...
Hi everyone, I was approached by Sharon shortly after some bad experiences with other documentary film makers and to my subsequent regret, given the quality of...
I must admit to mixed feelings when I learn that various of our clients, as allowed by our Client Agreement which each client signs prior to treatment, are...
Hi Beth, it is hard to answer this question categorically given no one knows entirely how either organism affects the immune system, genetic variations which...
As Jasper states, many of the disorders that people are trying hookworm for are characterised by high Eos and or IgE levels. We have had no adverse clinical...
This was for a medical podcast distributed to doctors, medical students, nurses, health care professionals (hospital porters?), nerds, etc. You can find it...
For TSO users, because of the horrible expense, I've thought of a potentially elegant solution. Why not get and infect a pig? In most city ordinances,...
Thank you, Jasper! I may take you up on that if I can make it to California, but in the meantime I would really appreciate your support in finding patients...
Thanks for your input. I don't mind discussing here as others may benefit from the discussion. This person has multiple food and environmental allergies (no...
People have posted on Fermentation before, and here is an update. (I hope this information isn't just repeating earlier posts.) I'm only slightly familiar...
Hi, After discussing this with Dr. Dellerba we are agreed that we do not have enough information to comment constructively. There are too many questions, one...
Yea...I wish somebody knew... the allergist did not have anything to say about the high IgE other than "boy, that's high". His other doctor thinks his immune...
Really interesting, I always wondered about the brave first person who discovered milk that had gone off to give either cheese or yogurt, was brave or...
You need to see some different doctors. I am no doctor but I do not think your current doctors are serving you well, and another opinion cannot hurt. Jasper...
This is the crux of the matter, your friend will probably see no improvement until they find a doctor who can understand what is wrong with them. It is only...
Contrary to popular opinion, there are data to support the SCD. Most prominent of these is the Galland study: http://www.mdheal.org/crohn%27s.htm "All 20...
Fascinating post. Thanks for sharing it. I'm not sure I'm buying the starch explanation. I think Elaine gave us a pretty good idea of why it works and what...
