Whipworms are two-inch-long parasites that sicken pigs by burrowing into their guts.

Scientists, however, are beginning to appreciate them for their curative power in humans.

Large-scale trials underway in Europe are testing whipworm eggs as a treatment for autoimmune disease......

Although the thought of swallowing a worm is an unpleasant one, it sure beats some of the other options! I am very intersted to see the results of these studies. Has there been anything officially released yet?

@Sqiffy - I love hearing about these types of research. I like it that there are people out there thinking outside the pill box and hypodermic needle.

I encourage anyone who's interest is tickled by this idea to visit my thread in the regimenes section.

I update it periodically, I'm about 6 weeks into it with mostly good results so far.
