(Ok I see now my reply was to a very very old thread but since it was reactivated with laze,ke's update I will not delete this reply)..,
I concur with killcolitis- I was told by AIT that high dose pred was a MUST for the human whipworms to settle in. Both hookworms and whipworms taken over 2 years gave me nothng but nasty side effects- no benefit. I did get some mild benefit from TSO from ovamed, without aide effects by contrast, but the benefit was not nearly enough to justify the extreme cost. I would have been willing to try human worms again in smaller doses, in spite of the side effects, except that the pred requirement was a dealkiller- to have to take high dose pred every year or so for life as I topped off my worms would have been insane, given my low dose pred dependence at the time. Last I checked recently (just before I finally did surgery- no regrets- life better than ever now just 5 weeks out) the pred requirement was still there- if it has changed due to some new protocol that is huge news that needs to be clarified- or perhaps you misunderstood? I do wish you best of luck- some do seem to benefit.
