Got worms?
 

Seriously. If you don't, it's possible that one day it might be a "therapy" for MS. EEeeeeewwww.....

There's an article that came out about this here:

They're going to try to activate the good parts of people's immune systems by having some patients drink a drink with whipworm eggs in it. The eggs will then hatch inside the person's body.

Blech....

Ptooey!!!

EEEEEEEeeeewwwwww........ :eek:


I am SO not a knowing bug eater.

I keep hearing about how the sanitization of society is making us sick.

What about those of us who didn't have that sort of sanitization? I mean, I grew up traveling the world, doing the normal kid stuff ( normal for those of us born when we still played outside!), working with high risk people since I was 18, participated in activities that didn't allow showering for weeks at a time, etc...( don't ask!) and here I am with MS.:confused:

We had mumps and lice and chicken pox and measles and ringworm and I ate weird food in other countries, and I am sure at least one, if not more of the kids in my family had worms of one kind or another. :rolleyes:

WE went barefoot all summer, used the same bathwater as kids, slept in the same room, and no one is going to tell me I was oversanitized! :mad:


I ain't gonna drink that, no matter how many times they tell me it's good for me! :eek:

:yikes: I don't think I could drink that one. I think I ate more dirt and rolled in the mud than any kid in my town. I had the chicken pox, did the whole not shower for six weeks while camping at summer camp.


Same here. I still go barefoot

If I'm going to have to eat a worm, make a it a tapeworm. If a cure can make me skinny, it's ok in my book!

While I too grew up in the mud and sand, I did not grow up eating worms. The study oversea stated: "Over four years, those with the worms had 90 percent fewer flare-ups and brain lesions." I'll eat anything that has a chance of reducing this. However, I wonder how many were tested in that study. My guess is only a few. If so, I don't call this much of a study.

LOL, I never understood the whole "women & shoes", I mean I don't have 30 pairs of shoes in my closet and dream about shoe shopping. I HATE shoes, I even go outside bare foot with snow on the ground to get the mail because I don't want to put shoes on my feet.
Of course this could be why I needed 10 stitches in my foot when I was 6 to close my foot back up. :D

I don't make my kids wear shoes in our back yard, DH hates this. :D

You know maybe MS and other illness like it are because we had ALL kinds of things as a child, maybe our immune systems have always been messed up. :confused:
I have had mumps, lice, chicken pox, measles, the flu almost even year, allergies, asthma, etc.

This all just makes you think sometimes. :rolleyes:

nope, not even the worm at the bottom of *good* tequila shall ever, er, um, *worm* its way past MY delicate lips!
