Has anyone got experience and/or opinion to offer on helmintic therapy for Crohn's? Has anybody been involved in testing? It seems an appealing idea to balance the immune system better without drugs.
Hi, I am just joining this thread. I have crohn's and behcet's, and have a daughter with crohn's and a son with autism. I have recently stopped humira so I could participate in a clinical trial of TSO in Portland Oregon. There are sites for this crohn's TSO trial all over the US. I have been told that they are not doing hiookworm testing because of higher incidence of anemia with hookworms. Is that true? Anyone know of a hookworm trial? I am so excited about the TSO trial--I'll keep you posted.Has anyone got experience and/or opinion to offer on helmintic therapy for Crohn's? Has anybody been involved in testing?

Please do let me know. Humira which has stopped working and I have to take Prednisone as well. I will be moving to Imuran (which I see you are on). Good luck with the trials I do hope it works for you and therefore for many of us in future.Hi, I am just joining this thread.
