Roundworms (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina in the canine) are right out due to health effects; if for no better reason, T. canis can encyst in the...
Mis migration when a parasite enters the "wrong" host is a big issue and is the cause of the horror stories one reads about or sees on science channels...
This is interesting because in my research of Mycobacterium Vaccae as a possible therapeutic agent one of our microbiologist clients suggested I look at the...
Marc has moved and is having the usual problem of getting his ISP to actually connect his DSL line, as well as his telephone. So he has been without internet...
From the New Scientist, confirmation of my observation that about a quarter of people don't want to consider new ideas even when presented with a factual...
So apparently the research showing that NOB diabetic mice, genetically selected or engineered mice (can't remember how they were produced) which develop a...
I wonder if any zoos might be interested in this line of thinking? They have numerous species, and some of their animals are bound to suffer from allergies,...
7/3/09 Just another update on my progress, or lack thereof at this point. There is a faint scar on my arm where the infection site was. I am down to 25mg...
Hi Marya, Are you trying to get off your prescription medicine because you have just been inoculated with Necator Americanus? I would not think that would be...
Hi, a few of you send regular email digests of very interesting news, etc., to me. I thought some of you might like an outlet for it that expanded your...

Hi Cal, Oh no, I am taking all my meds as prescribed. My doctors prescription for Oxycodone was: none, not ever, no. (Was that clear enough, Doctor?) The...
I'm having terrible insomnia on my trip and am wondering if ambien would be safe to take with hookworms? I....need...sleep...and all my usuals are not...
Sorry I don't know but from reading the Wikipedia page I would say yes, it is safe. Has anyone here on hookworm taken Ambien? I seem to remember that at least...
I have long heard that lettuces were calming to the intestines, so I thought that they would be good for me to eat. Someone today, however, told me that...
I very much doubt it. If any common or even uncommon herb or food had true anti-helminthic properties it would have been recognized and promoted as such long...
I'll do an egg count when I get back and then we'll know for sure. Trippy drug, less so then Benadryl though. Makes you soft and happy. Sleep was much...
What of this from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicory#Use_and_toxicity Use and toxicity According to traditional folklore, long-term use of chicory...
It is related to what I mentioned earlier, unless you eat a lot of chicory I doubt it will have an affect. Marc has eaten it, and he still has his worms. For...
I suppose that is the salient point, that you haven't lost your worms accidentally - ever. We here out on the worm frontier, don't know where we are in...
If you get better you will know they are there because you will be well, and if you lose them you will soon know they are gone when you get ill again, which is...
They contact me for video footage, so I supplied them with some microscopy footage of hookworm larvae and the Todd interview. Lets hope they do a good job. ...
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,...
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...
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 guys, I tried Hookworm therapy, but unfortunately it didn't work for me (I have chronic sinusitis). However I am going to try two other things - moving to a...
