Could worms (helminths) protect against COVID?

17/11/2020 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

Long term followers of FoodsMatter will remember John Scott and his spectacularly successful interaction with parasitic hookworms.

(From being virtually bedridden with ME, Crohn’s Disease, migraine, restless legs and crippling rhinitis – and forced to live on elemental infant formula as being the only food he could tolerate – he is fully recovered from all of the above, eats a normal healthy diet and has managed to work his way through several exercise bicycles in the last few years.)

For some years we hosted both his researches and the tale of his gradual rehabilitation on the FoodsMatter site but in 2017 he started his own Wiki site, Helminthictherapywiki.org, which is where you should now go for all of the latest research, articles and success stories on helminthic therapy.

However, just to keep us in the loop, he periodically sends me updates on recent successes achieved by his wriggling friends.  I will list some of them below but he ended his email by saying:

Something that may really surprise you is that a number of researchers are suggesting that worms could provide an answer to the current pandemic, as both treatment and prophylaxis, although worms obviously don’t have quite the same popular appeal as a sexy new vaccine!

See this page on his site for more information.

The global community of helminthic therapy self-treaters, he continues,  now numbers in excess of 60,000 individuals, yet the number of cases of COVID-19 reported by our members is minuscule, and these few have all experienced a very mild illness and a relatively quick recovery. 

I spoke last week to the CEO of one of our largest providers, the UK-based Biome Restoration who supply HDCs (rat tapeworm ova) to thousands of clients in many parts of the world, and she said that she has yet to hear of a single case of COVID amongst her customers! Bravo, worms!

Other cases that you might like to read about:

  • Hookworms help a one-year-old overcome severe eczema and food allergies.
  • Helminthic Therapy and CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome): Could this be the Missing Link?
  • Hookworms transform a food intolerant with multiple other allergic issues into a foodie.
  • Treating SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and metal allergy with helminthic therapy.
  • Hookworms treat anaphylaxis and salicylate intolerance in a 5-year-old.
And, finally, three wiki pages examining the use of FMT, immunotherapy and LDN in combination with helminthic therapy.
  • Helminthic therapy and fecal microbiota transplant (FMT)
  • Helminthic therapy and allergen immunotherapy.
  • Helminthic therapy and low-dose naltrexone (LDN)

Disastrous Brexit fallout for medical cannabis users

Thanks to the tireless campaigning of a group of  ‘epilepsy mothers’, lead by Hannah Deacon, the mother of Alfie Dingley, and her consultant, neurologist Professor Mike Barnes, a change in the law in 2018 allowed the prescription of medical cannabis for children with certain rare types of epilepsy, those in chronic pain and for those …

The trouble about gluten-free oats

Oats are delicious – oats are nutritious – they contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and are an excellent source of fibre – they do not contain the protein gliadin, the gluten fraction that coeliacs need to avoid – they add texture to gluten free baking and are easy to cook with. Few …

Happy, if distanced, Christmas!

After this very strange and, for many people, horribly difficult year I wanted to wish you all a very peaceful, safe, healthy and hopefully happy Christmas. And offer you a little allergic chortle. Those of you who used to receive the FoodsMatter magazine will remember all of Christopher’s wonderful allergy related cartoons – the caption …

Good news for those with peanut allergy

The news may be grim on the virus front but there have been two bits of good news this month for those with peanut allergy. Earlier in the month The Journal of Allergy and Immunology: In Practice reported on on a trial which demonstrated that peanut oral immunotherapy is still effective after one year of …

Is it time to subject Vitamin C to serious scientific scrutiny?

Ever since 1970 when the Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling claimed that gram dose vitamin C supplementation could prevent and alleviate the common cold, the argument has rumbled on – how effective can vitamin C supplementation be for respiratory infections both mild (such as the common cold) or more acute (pneumonia and, maybe, COVID19). The evidence …

Share a meal

Yes, indeed – what a lovely thing to be able to do – and one that we have been deprived of for all too long. But, we don’t have to be. Over lockdown my good friend Sarah Stacey, who lives in a tiny village in Dorset, started cooking meals for a poorly neighbour. Talking to …
