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