Worm therapy: Why parasites may be good for youjim Turk initially put his symptoms down to stress.

At the hospital, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans revealed plaques peppered throughout Turk's brain and spine.

The diagnosis was obvious: multiple sclerosis, the autoimmune condition in which the body eats away at its own nerve cell casings.

The cure: not known yet. A month later, Turk saw an ad on the news seeking multiple sclerosis patients to try out an unusual new treatment at the University of Wisconsin, in his hometown of Madison.

but others were also investigating their therapeutic potential. The field has its origins in the early 1990s.

Researchers and biomedical companies around the world began to investigate the potential of helminthic therapy for treating conditions ranging from asthma to autism to psoriasis.

Helminthic therapy is still at the experimental stage, but some patients are unwilling to wait.

In 2007, self-infected entrepreneurs Garin Aglietti and Jasper Lawrence founded a worm therapy start-up called Autoimmunetherapies in the US by harvesting hookworms plucked and sterilised from their own faeces,

"This therapy could help people who don't have any other treatment options, Â Smith says.

Â Testing stagenowadays, most researchers investigating helminthic therapies have abandoned bloodsucking hookworms in favour of pig whipworms,

developing new modes of therapies simply takes a long time. Gaining approval for trials, recruiting patients and waiting to evaluate the effects are all time-consuming.

It's not just a case of demonstrating helminthic therapy is safe and effective researchers will also have to figure out how to administer it.

but he hopes the trials of helminthic therapy prove successful, and would gladly switch to it

"One of the problems with vision therapy is that it's like physical therapy, in the sense where you have to do repetitive activities

but therapy techniques rely on simple geometric shapes that lack the artistry that keeps an audience engaged."

and is not a conclusive diagnosis. Positive genetic tests should be followed up with celiac blood panels

Â Diagnosis & Tests Diagnosing diarrhea itself is simple but doctors may want to determine the condition s cause for those whose symptoms are severe and/or ongoing.

But the danger of self-diagnosing and taking gluten out of your diet prematurely is that you would never be able to get an accurate diagnosis of your symptoms.

A total of 371 trial participants undergoing dialysis received either standard antibiotic therapy to prevent infection

This is important because diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure so any therapy should work with normal and diabetic kidney dialysis patients.

While honey therapy was worse than antibiotics for diabetics the authors found the most important factor for preventing infection in all patients was how well the catheter was inserted and fixed.

We can conclude that honey therapy instead of antibiotics at least does no harm for many dialysis patients but also that it s not good for diabetics.

and 9%of the patients treated with either therapy still died the bottom line is still that we need better therapies for bacterial infection whether natural or man-made.
