Helminth Therapy for vit. A?
Quote from Judy on November 18, 2020, 8:28 pmI just updated this post on my blog about using Helminth therapy for autoimmune diseases. I think there is good evidence that it can help with Covid-19 and wonder if it might also help with vitamin A toxicity. It would give the autoimmune system a live target and prevent it from attacking our own tissues. If it works, we should feel a lot better while we detox.
Helminths are harmless. Humans have lived and evolved with them for millions of years and it is only our peoccupation with cleanliness and the "germ-phobia" in the Western world that has changed that. They only cause symptoms if you are severely malnourished; they are not contagious and you never have more than the 3 or 4 you start with as they cannot reproduce without an intermediate host. MDs don't even recommend treating a mild infection. (You can get rid of them at any time with one dose of a medication called albendazole.)
Read the article (the Covid info is at the bottom) and let me know what you think. I would consider doing it for protection from the current pandemic anyway, but if it prevents the symptoms of vitamin A toxicity, I'm all in!

Most parasites are harmful, examples of particularly bad ones include the pork tapeworm which can migrate to the brain, malaria, chagas and liver fluke. However, hookworks and leeches are "old friend" symbiotes. Hookworms lower iron and vitamin A and regulate the immune system. Leech therapy can be very beneficial.
Nice article @judy.
