Diet is obviously paramount for health and should be given priority by anyone who is ill, and herbs, spices and certain foods have huge potential for healing, as do substances like serrapeptase. Also, as we know, PEMF can be an excellent add-on therapy - which I have to mention as I’m sat here with two coils on my head at this moment!
But we now know that exposure to helminths is essential for optimum immune function, so they’re not only a “must” for those who currently have an inflammatory, autoimmune or allergic condition, but also for all humans who want to avoid the degenerative diseases and other conditions related to the silent, chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation that exacts a relentless toll on the tissues of those of us who live in developed countries where intestinal worms have been effectively banished by the use of shoes and flushing toilets, etc.
Understanding of this reality began in Africa 50 years ago, when researchers noted a possible relationship between parasitic infections and a reduced incidence of autoimmune disease. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/447497] This phenomenon has been examined in the decades since and eventually led to the biome alteration theory, which has now progressed beyond a mere theory to the point where researchers can say with confidence:
“All immunocompetent humans need regular exposure to helminths in order to maintain optimal immune function and avoid risk for inflammation-associated disease. This conclusion is based on “biota alteration theory”, the view that loss of biodiversity from the ecosystem of the human body as a result of industrialization has contributed to increased immune dysregulation and non-adaptive inflammation. In this view, exposure to helminths is a necessary component of our biology, and the essentially complete absence of those organisms is an underlying cause of inflammatory disease. Based on this view, we have argued that access to helminths is a basic human need.”

In response to this understanding, four safe, mutualistic helminths have been domesticated during the past 15 years and are available commercially for use as “probiotics”. Information about these organisms, the science behind their use (currently over 700 papers), the companies that supply them, and more than 600 reports from those who are using these products, can all be found in the non-profit Helminthic Therapy wiki, which is the most comprehensive reference work on the subject.
