I experience a psychological high on days 2-4 when I get the larvae on my arm, and days 3-5 when on my leg. Or I get diarrhea. I don't think its a placebo...
I found this interesting, Deborah, because I experienced the exact opposite. Starting around day 3 (and continuing even now) I have been very testy and...
My grandmother passed the day after I got inoculated, so I am not sure if I experienced any sort of "high" because it would have been complicated by events. I...
Thanks for the replies. It sounds like most of you would be surprised if allergies did not improve with the presence of hookworms. Next question: How long do...

Ignore the last post; there are currently 13 slots left for the Crohn's disease trial, not 3. They require a minimum of 6 visits over 6 months, and anyone...
Hi all, I got 50 hookworms on 4/21 for asthma, sinusitis, rhinitis, and allergies. Like many others, as I said earlier, I DEFINITELY got the "hookworm high."...
Yes, from UC. I have experimented quite a bit with different types of (lactose free) dairy as well as no dairy. Raw is of course extrenely hard to get in the...
On both days I had a single soft formed stool as the only bowel movements, which is always nice compared to loose or D. The usual UC gut pain apart from that....
Hi, the only other patient I can remember (and I am too lazy to look it up) who had anything like the cough was cal1700 who I think reported a mild dry cough...
Just wanted to add that the sooner Nottingham fills its Crohn's disease trial (with 43 recruited, they have 13 slots left) the better for all. If you know of...
so... what if you live in US - can you qualify to be in the trials? I suppose you must travel 6 times to england, right? thanks josie ... From: "deborawade37"...

Haha, would not even call that waffel, but a classic line anyway "ideally, such a therapy would change a person's immune response to peanuts from an allergic...
In two patients we have evidence that surgery may damage the hookworm, eliminate them or temporarily negate their efficacy. In one bowel surgery seems to have...
How long has it been since the surgery? How long from inoculation did they have the surgery? ... hookworm, eliminate them or ... eczema returned within two ...
Hi Brindle, I believe it was you who posted about worsening fibromyalgia and depression as side effects of the worms. Are you feeling better yet? If so, how...
In both cases surgery was well after the point where the worms would have been mature, at least four months in both cases. They both had symptoms return within...
Hey Judy! The depression was short-lived - like just a few days, but *very* intense. As I said before though, I think it might have been complicated by the...
God, Brindle I think you beat me for severity of side effects. This sounds horrible. I hope you move through this quickly; I started feeling serious...
All right, ladies and gentleman. Let the party begin. I just got back from UCSF. I took a blood test 2 days before getting inoculated, then again at 4.5...
My GI at UCSF is also in a state of shock. He wants me to spread the word, and post my story in the CCFA newsletter. He emailed the person who coordinates...
I forgot to add that I gained almost 20 pounds in the last 4 months. I now weight 155; my normal, healthy weight. Just to give a little perspective, I was...
Hi Brindle, Yes, I started to feel side effects by day 3 or so when I was hit with some pretty extreme exhaustion. By 1 week, I was experiencing the worst...
