Research
Helminthic therapy with both hookworm and TSO has been investigated in research published by the University of Nottingham and University of Iowa.
Helminthic therapy is currently being studied as a treatment for several (non-viral) auto-immune diseases including celiac disease, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, and ulcerative colitis.
Hookworms have been found to reduce the risk of developing asthma, while Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm infection) was associated with an increased risk of asthma.
