The treatment of some ailments maybe a little gross in the future but will it make a difference? Some doctors think that worms ingested in to the body may be able to cure some ailments that people suffer. There is a group of 15 people in ,Orlando Florida are going to find out. Dr Ira Shafran, thinks that by ingesting pig whipworm larvae may cure Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is an ailment that has to do with inflamation of the bowels that causes great pain for the person suffering with it. If this trial works we may have a new way of curing a lot of diseases including asthma, multiple sclerosis, IBS, allergy, and cancer. The reason some doctors think we may have these ailments today might very well be because we as a generation, have opted for the germ free world. Germs are good people they do things to the body that we need.
I thought this article was interesting because who would have thought that by ingesting worms you might be able to cure anything. I think that this is a good thing. It means the medical world is breaking free of its perscription drug overdose of our country.
I am amazed that worms can maybe make a difference in the lives of so many people that have some of these diseases. I have a friend that has Crohn's disease and she would probably eat whatever it took to get away from the ailment, including worms. Who would have thought that because most of us try to live a germ free life we could be causing some of these things that ail us. Maybe even if this trial doesn't go well they will at least maybe come to some conclusion of weather or not our obsession of a germ free lifestyle is bad for us or not?
