Patient Blogs
Benefits can begin as early as 12-16 weeks. Some will take 12-18+ months to see any significant change. For some their illness may already be too advanced. Helminthic therapy is very new (started only late 2007) and is being used to treat a range of complaints. Thank you to all those who blog. Please keep it up. Your blogs are important. And please... keep a summary page.
If anything I hope these blogs help you to see that Helminthic Therapy is not a magic bullet, patients also need to work hard on diet & exercise, undergo operations, and suffer lots of set backs along the way (like the rest of us).
Ratings: Please don't read too much into these rating. They are an indicator only and can quickly date. Please read the blog to get a proper picture. Legend:

- x = Not successful.
