I have had UC, ulcerative colitis, for close to 20 years. I have tried dieting (SCD and many elimination diets), HPI, acupuncture, steroids, etc, but my condition keeps getting worse. I flare up every year usually in the first half of the year. I am pretty much headed for surgery because I now have osteoporosis from steroid use so I am running out of options.
My most recent flare in June, forced me to try Remicade. I just had my 4th infusion the day before I took the whipworms. Remicade has not been a miracle for me. In fact I doubt that it is really doing anything for me at all because I am basically on the same course that I normally follow for this time of year.
I am hoping that the whipworms will allow me to stretch out the time between remicade and eventually stop it, but only time will tell.
My condition is currently not to bad right now. I still suffer urgent diarrhea, but only 1-3 times a day. No cramps or bleeding.
This will be a long road to know if the whipworms are helping. I really need to go through at least a one year cycle to see if I am going to flare next year. I guess if I started having fully formed normal movements I would know I am on the right track. At this point, day 3, I feel no difference.

3 days is too soon to see results from worm therapy I think. I do wish you the best of luck. I woul dlove to give it a try in the future but I have seen mixed results. Please keep me updated on your progress.

It took me 12 weeks to reach remission after I got 35 hookworms. I also got whipworms in August and I am now in a complete remission. I also got rid of my food allergies and seasonal allergies. You'll need to wait at least 12 weeks to see any benefit.

Have you checked your vitamin D levels? It's very important to have at least 50ng/ml.

I am setting things up to order the TTO from AIT.   I spoke with Jasper but he missed our phone appointment today.  Is this common or do you think it is a mix up?  I have established a contact in Canada to receive the order.  The question I have from my contact is how to declare the package to be sent to the USA without getting it taken?  Anyone know how is the best way to send it (which carrier) and how do you mail it with the least problem of the government stealing the package?  I cannot travel or go anywhere to get it.  I am just not well enough or strong enough to go anywhere.  Please help if any of you know anything.  Thanks

There is no way to do this legally, and the sender or receiver could get in serious trouble if they were found to be doing this intentionally. Are you at all close to the border? In that case you should go pick it up and drink it in Canada. I wish you the best of luck. TT didn't do anything for me but TSO did dampen my UC somewhat (it's just too expensive for me considering it didn't get me a full remission)- and I do know that some have benefited from TT so I hope you are one of the lucky ones and that you keep us informed.

Natwell: How are you doing? I haven't seen you around. I hope you're feeling better.
