Single-dose worm therapy $3,900.00* USD

Hookworm ova are collected from a human source. Although transmission of disease by hookworm has never been observed or reported, this despite the fact that there are estimated to be almost a billion people world-wide infected with hookworm, all sources are tested every three months for Hepatitis A,B and C, HIV and other common diseases. The hookworm ova are incubated in growth medium that includes human feces. This is required to ensure that the hookworm are robust and healthy. It has been proven that propogating hookworm in any medium other than feces results in an attenuated organism with a high, and unpredictable, mortality rate post inoculation of patients. To use hookworm grown in sterile media would result in unpredictable doses of dubious efficacy and is not required to ensure safety. The infectious larva (L3) are collected and then undergo a series of thorough sterilisation procedures, any of which by themselves would be sufficient to ensure sterility, before finally being stored in a buffer medium containing an anti-microbial agent. Besides which, use of a sterile growth medium does not change the fact that hookworm embryos are born into, and are carried out of the host, in feces.

Treatment is performed by our physician. A full clinical history and examination is undertaken, and blood samples are taken for a complete blood count and biochemistry profiling to ensure the client's safety, suitablity and fitness for therapy. Treatment involves the application of the L3 larva to the skin using a moist, sterile bandage. From there they begin migration to the intestine via the blood stream and pulmonary system. After arrival in the intestines the juvenile hookworm larvae undergo a further molt after which the adult worm takes up residence in the gastrointestinal tract. The worms attach to the mucosa of the intestines at about 2-3 weeks at which point they begin to modulate the hosts immune system.

Worm Therapy - The Theory of the Use of Hookworm

The conditions that have or are being researched are Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Asthma, Allergies, Eczema, Multiple Sclerosis, and Psoriasis. We have also successfully treated There are very good epidemiological and theoretical reasons to believe that Grave's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Coeliac disease, Sjorgen's syndrome, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasic Arthritis and Diabetes type I might respond.

Dosing of Necator Americanus Human Hookworm

10-25 worms.

Side Effects and Warning for Human Hookworm

Light hookworm infection is often asymptomatic or has mild-to-moderate complaints. It is so trivial a condtion that the American Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that doctors not treat light infections. The most common reactions are a rash that may develop at the site skin penetration (commonly referred to as ground itch) and episodic fatigue. Migration larvae though the lungs occasionally causes a cough. During the acute phase, adult worms in the intestine may cause colicky epigastric pain, night sweats, fever, anorexia, flatulence, diarrhea and weight loss. These side effects are often the result of eosiniophilic enteritis. About five percent of our clients have reported cases of reactive arthritis that resolved with time or with elinination of the hookworm.

Human Hookworm - Trickle Dose

Necator americanus. Five doses to achieve the appropriate therapeutic number of larvae (L3) (up to 75 total) in any increment per dose.

$7,800.00* USD

Hookworm ova are collected from a known source periodically tested for Hepatitis and HIV. The ova are sterilized and incubated in non-feces derived growth medium. The infectious larva are collected in a buffer solution and treated with an anti-microbial agent.

The L3 are placed on the skin where they begin their transpulmonary migration to the intestinal tract. In one to two weeks the worms will undergo their final molt and reside in the intestinal tract. Once in the intestinal tract the worms will interact with the intestinal mucosa and modulate the immune system.

Use of Hookworm based on Theory

The conditions that are actively being researched are Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Asthma, Allergies, eczema, Multiple Sclerosis, and Psoriasis. There are theoretical reasons to believe that Grave's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Coeliac disease, Sjorgen's syndrome, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasic Arthritis and Diabetes type I might also respond.

Dosing of Necator Americanus Human Hookworm

15-80 worms.

Side Effects and Warning for Human Hookworm

Light hookworm infection is often asymptomatic or has mild-to-moderate complaints. The most common reactions are a pruritic papulovesicular rash may develop at the site of larval penetration (ground itch) and fatigue. Migration larvae though the lungs occasionally causes a cough. Löffler's pneumonia, with cough, wheezing and sometimes hemoptysis can occur in a very heavy infection. During the acute phase, adult worms in the intestine may cause colicky epigastric pain, night sweats, fever, anorexia, flatulence, diarrhea and weight loss. Eosiniophilic enteritis is also common. There have been reported cases of reactive arthritis that resolved with treatment. Chronic infection can lead to iron deficiency anemia and hypoproteinemia, causing pallor, dyspnea, weakness, tachycardia, lassitude and peripheral edema. A low-grade eosinophilia is often present. In very heavy infections chronic blood loss may lead to severe anemia, growth retardation, heart failure and anasarca.
