Ben ik blij dat ik heb gezegd dat ik NIET preventief ga ontwormen..... 
nou even nog wat nutteloze informatie, er is een behandeling voor IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) waar wormen worden gebruikt om de darmen weer gezond te krijgen.
uit een artikel gebasseerd op de studie van onder andere Prof. Joel V. Weinstock, M.D. heb ik van het net de volgende stukje geplukt.... van de site van Ovamed..... erg interessant. Makes you think......
Theory, Basic Science and Inventors
Over the last decade several research teams have uncovered a possible explanation for the dramatic rise in autoimmune disease and allergy that has occurred in industrialized countries. Many diseases such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes and asthma became much more prevalent during the last half of the twentieth century (1). The increase in prevalence for these diseases occurred in conjunction with increases in standard of living and hygienic conditions. These types of immune-mediated diseases remain rare in less developed tropical countries. It is clear that a change in our environment has promoted development of immune-mediated disease. Many changes in our environment have occurred. One of the most significant, from an immunologic standpoint, is the eradication of exposure to helminthic parasites (2). These complex organisms have far-reaching effects on the immune system that could prevent development or inhibit expression of autoimmune disease (3).
Basic studies using animal models of human disease have shown that exposure to helminths can prevent colitis (1, 4-7), autoimmune diabetes (8,9), and autoimmune encephalitis (10, 11). Recently, investigators at the University of Iowa have shown that exposure to intestinal worms can reverse established colitis in IL-10 deficient mice (12). These studies suggest that exposure to helminths may be able to prevent or treat human disease.
Ik wil gewoon ouderwets wormen
