DR JOHN CROSSE: Essentially the results are much more exciting than I could have expected. In fact it's quite intimidating to have such an unusual idea and find that there are mechanisms that justify that idea, but the hookworm certainly do seem to suppress the immune response.

Immunomodulation - With colleagues in Townsville and Brisbane, we are involved in a clinical trial assessing the therapeutic value of human hookworms in suppressing the inflammation associated with celiac disease.

Interesting... isn't it. Here are some more references to worms and autoimmune disease...

Micro-worms to the rescue
Clinical trial looks to treat multiple sclerosis with hookworms

Parasitic Worms may offer effective treatment for Crohn's disease

Clinical trial for hookworm and celiac disease
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/s...ichuris&rank=5

And I've also met someone via forums who has used live pig whipworm eggs (Trichuris suis ova aka TSO) to treat gluten ataxia with some success.
