It was pretty interesting....They were talking about how effective whipworms are for UC, and how they are going to be used very effectively in the future

what is a whipworm?

People are already using them. there is a big yahoo group managed by autoimmune therapies. You can google the company if you're interested.

My mom called me to tell me about it. The use of parasitic whipworms to treat UC has been around for a while.

Didn't see it, but Dr. Oz does FM radio spots in my city plugging his surgery consults. I love hearing him say: "A minor procedure is a procedure being done on somebody ELSE!" / Old Hat (30 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

I usually watch him cause I don't have cable and there's nothing else on. The one time I don't watch, he has something good on.

Sir Crapsalot did this treatment way back in summer last year I wonder how he is doing now. His last post was August 2010 and he hasn't posted a message on this board since.

Well my Neurologist just gave me the go ahead to get off coumadin blood thinner in a phone call with the ***WARNING*** to keep my UC under control or expect another stroke.

Logically that would mean going with the whipworms, which I would do if it was a permanent solution but my understanding is you have to eat these things on a regular basis.

It just seems kind of otherworldy to explain to a new girlfriend that I have live worms inside me.

Jotting this one down as a "last resort".

No, it's not a last resort and you don't need to eat these on continuous basis. They are taken once every 1.5 years and they are invisible when you swallow them, so there is nothing gross or disgusting about. I was able to achieve a full remission from Crohn's using it. Here's my colonoscopy report from last week: goo.gl/sfZOg

Also, you can read this thread in the Healing Well forum where I explain how I was able to achieve remission:

I've watched that I would like to give it a try

I don't think I would try the whipworms - can't seem to get over the eww factor. But the pencil for headaches I can do :) In fact, I get a lot of headaches and I tried the pencil and it works. However, you can't walk around with a pencil in your mouth 24/7 - it offers temporary relief.

Drug companies can't make money on Whipworms or I am SURE my GI would be prescribing it. I will do them if my UC acts up and my GI prescribes 6-MP or Remicade. Not taking Chemo drugs for UC! (yes, that's my opinion, I am sure it works for 50% of you that have taken it)

Well when you put it like that it does not sound bad at all. I wonder what it means if you take them and still flare ?

I'm thinking the worms are looking better and better. I'm tired of ooky drugs! :o(
