The Hookworm Solution by Stephen Michael Nenninger & Alanna Marie Iannaccone Pisani How treating helminth deficiency syndrome with our body's little friend can change your health and your life.

Dedicated to Alanna, who supported, encouraged and inspired this book...and to my sons Sterling and Quinn..my love for whom motivated my deeper search for the Page 2 of 353

cause of autoimmune disease. Why Hookworms My son was diagnosed at 17 years old with primary biliary sclerosis, a life

threatening autoimmune liver disease, one of the worst. I was at that point a naturopathic doctor for 20 years. I had all the alternative and conventional medical tools available to me. None of them worked. His laboratory tests showed severe liver inflammation, the worst sign for these cases.

Skin Case Before and After Hookworms his liver laboratory results returned to normal... and have been now for 4 years. One of the most severe autoimmune diseases cured by some tiny natural worms.

I gave him hookworms and two months later Page 3

This book is my attempt to try and explain to you, after as much study as I am capable, why this worked for my son and for other people with autoimmune disease since his treatment. The Only "Alive" approach Hookworms are symbiotic organisms that are only healthy if you are healthy. So they want things to go well for you and for your body.

In ammation is the destructive immune reaction in the body, guts, nervous system, brain, joints, etc. What we see on the outside here is happening on the inside also.

Sweet pea

Acne is a great way to see the effects of hookworms because we can see the inflammation on the outside that also occurs inside.

Page 5

They are alive and feeling and sensing, and can respond to changes as needed to balance their environment, your body. Hookworms are not a "parasite" in the classic definition of an organism that takes from it host without giving anything in return, or even worst causing problems. Hookworm are a symbiotic organism

that work with our body for the mutual benefit of both. One thing that the body produces that the hookworms don't like is in ammation. In ammation interferes with the production of their tiny little eggs. (think of being so small that dozens could t on the head of a pin.) So they respond to in ammation that

Some people have genes that learned to rely on the help of worms to control in ammation… but then we took the worms away and the results have not been autoimmune disease and cancer.

sensitively, and accurately. Imagine if your doctor could prescribe exactly the amount of Page 8 of 353

prednisone your body needed for each cell of the body, without over dose side effects. This is what hookworms do.

Why I wrote this The highly aggressive immune system of the Vikings served us a thousand years ago. Now, without the immune regulation we need from hookworms, that immune system turns against us.

booklet Everyone is my family has autoimmune disease. Conventional drugs gave some relief but with tons of side effects. I also tried all alternative medicine approaches. None of these approaches helped me in a significant way.

Page 9

The only thing that made a significant difference for me in my health.....was hookworms.

Page 10 of 353

So I wrote this is book to let you know the hookworm story :)

Julie's Joint Pain We think of an approach like hookworms when a situation that keeps relapsing. The kind of cases that get a little bit better with drugs, or herbs or other remedies... but keep coming back.

Resolution Letter I was diagnosed by my MD, who I like a lot...with two chronic inflammation conditions...in my thyroid and my joints. He is great and tried his best, but I found I needed something more than just pills, they were not working for me, and the side effects were too much. Steve thought there was a chance if we worked on the Page 11

So after months of gently informing me how a helminth approach could help, and feeling the illness was progressing quicker than I Page 13

The minute after I placed the hookworms on my foot I felt a little tingling, and then, believe it or not, pain

felt like it was lifted away, I couldn’t believe it! That great feeling stayed with me most days, with some days

having complaints return, but not at all as bad as they originally were. The chronic inflammation fog and fatigue were a memory. In the three months of my changes, I have been able to get back to the gym to lift weights and get back to yoga and Pilates. I am even able to get to the gym before my 10 hour shift at work! My husband is so excited he has his old wife back. I still cannot

believe my energy and what I am able to accomplish each day, pain free, it is truly wonderful! Kathy's Thyroid Once again I am so grateful for you mind, wisdom, and intellect! I started with wormy March 2019. (have to admit I was skeptical) I have had a hypothyroid for over 30 years. Also about 15ish years ago I saw you for the Page 17

first time after an anaphylactic reaction, twice to something I ate, I never found out what, and literally was having a nervous breakdown. Page 18 of 353

Western medicine was baffled and basically done with me. You save my life then! And I will be forever grateful!

At that time, I had so much reaction to all foods with the IgG testing but dairy was off the charts. I have not eaten cow dairy since then, among other things.

Armpit: bullseye rash

The "pancake" immune system never has many problems with health and recovers balance quickly. For us hyper immune when the in ammation starts it is hard to stop.Without hookworms we over react, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Page 19

Page 20 of 353

We Vikings are designed for the uphill battle.We have powerful immune systems. Without resistance, our bodies self destruct. Worms provide stability to the immune system. But to get to the point, by the end of June 2019, I had my thyroid tested and my TSH was 0.75 I stopped the thyroid medicine then. I have been on top of the thyroid testing since and it has been good.

This July, 2 years since stopping thyroid medicine my TSH level was 1.2 perfect numbers!!! AND my IgG was absolutely normal NO HIDDEN FOOD ALLERGIES!!!! What can I say I’m ecstatic! Page 21

Knowing exactly which worm you are using is key. It is like getting a dog, the breed matters. Page 22 of 353

As we gain more experience... we recognize that the individual personality of the worm is important. Different worms act in different ways in different bodies.

I’m grateful for having you in my life! I love that your an out of the box thinker and researcher and have helped so many people. Keep up the great work and I pray that you and your family are thriving. Sending love Kathy

What makes NA457 (aka Wormy) the best helminthic approach candidate. 1. It cannot reproduce in your body. 2. You only have the number you are given. 3. Does not create many side effects getting settled. 4. Effective in many situations.

5. Can use small or large applications. 6. Does not grow longer than half an inch. 7. Is only as wide as a human hair. 8. Can only live in the small intestine. 9. Does not cause anemia. 10.Can live as long as we choose. 11.Balances body bacteria. 12.Controls in ammation.

Choosing the proper worm It is essential that the hookworms being used by a person is

Page 36 of 353

Let's use a comparison between worms and another species we live with as humans, that is dogs.

Wormy is the control worm. He determines our reactions to the other inhabitants of our body. His requirement for staying is low in ammation.

Getting the wrong hookworm is like getting a wolf cub instead of a puppy dog. Wolf cubs and the puppies of dogs may look a lot alike when they are young, but their behavior is much different as they get older. The wolf worm becomes more aggressive and works against your

Basically I am trying to say... Hookworms increase the mucus protection level of the intestines. This allows the intestines to normalize its reactions and calm down.

Page 38 of 353

body and the dog worm becomes more domesticated and works with your body. At some point a wolf is going to start acting like a wolf and become more aggressive...it is just going to turn around and bite you. Even if you knew the worm you were getting was a dog and not a wolf, we

need to know exactly what kind of dog you are getting. There is a lot of difference in temperament and behavior between a "pitbull" worm and a "poodle" worm. All this is to say that we put a lot of effort into identifying and con rming exactly which worm species and breed we are using. That is a big

I was diagnosed when I was 15 and tried all the different things available at the time but nothing worked for very long and even when something did work

the results were disappointing. Over the years I developed worsening in ammation, severe muscle fatigue, depression and all the typical stomach problems and pains. I heard about a few people who had amazing results with worms and wanted to be one of them.

I met with Steve and he explained the science to me, it all made perfect sense. Within a few months my body underwent a dramatic change. My stomach problems went away for the rst time in 25 years. I lost weight at a healthy pace and felt strong enough to start going to gym. Today I feel

He recently started his freshman year in college, away from home, and is having the time of his life! He is living a "normal" life, eating "normal" foods, something we had no expectation of not that long ago.

Because he is and has been well for months now, he is able to engage in every way socially, academically, athletically, feeling healthy and so happy!

Treatment of Dietary Anxiety Syndrome. When we only had allergy testing as a tool the only way to resolve food based inflammation was to remove all of the offending foods.

This was the only tool we had to resolve the inflammation, but it was not feel of side effects. The side effects of avoiding common foods because they cause side effects we began to call dietary anxiety syndrome. What would happen would be that the stress of eating would in itself become a disease. People's reaction to sitting down in front of their food would be a stress reaction. This

reaction would make the sympathetic nervous system more active. This is the part of our nervous system we call the fight or flight reaction. This reaction actually shuts down the digestive systems as the body prepares to drive all the of the blood to the muscles for use in attack or defense. Eating in this state actually makes food reactions worse or creates them itself.

Page 51

Wormy controls the inflammation gate. I still get a small percentage of people that insist in addressing their symptoms in this way. And they can see good effects on their main symptoms.

However in the long run I much prefer to correct the underlying imbalances in the digestive track, like worm deficiency... and for people to eat normally ... eat, drink,

and by merry ;) When you have hookworms you can have the same number of antibodies to foods nding antigens... but they don't trigger the immune system to react. Native people can have high antibodies and not trigger reactions.

most recently I was one of the main hitting partners for the US Open. In September 2017, I experienced a severe groin pull. I tried resting it, strength programs and everything else possible and it never quite got back to 100%. Steve suggested that I should try the worms and I kept postponing it. Fast forward to end of July 2018. After playing a tournament, I

pulled my right quad.

Alternative and natural medicines often don't work as well in the highly aggressive Viking immune system. When you add worms they start to work again in the way they are supposed to.

I panicked because I was 4 weeks away from going to the US Open so I finally decided to get the worms. I’m mad at myself for not doing it earlier. ~ Life changing experience. By the end of the second week after getting the worms my quad was fully recovered and my lingering groin issue Page 63

completely healed. I also started sleeping better and I had the same energy level as when I was in my mid 20s. I started eating better, no stress, very positive. It is an ongoing process but getting the worms was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

My son's inflammation makes me research hookworms. I learned about hookworms while I was trying to figure out a way to help my son. My son got mono in 11th grade. He had lived a very natural organic lifestyle and had no health problems. His immune system developed a very strong response to

Page 65

mono which became life threatening. When his medical doctor shared the results they were very bad. His liver and pancreas were in bad shape and the labs

indicated it was going in the wrong direction. He was in pain and he felt terrible. Conventional drugs and the things I tried based on my experience of 25 years as a naturopathic doctor made him feel worse. Every spare moment I researched his overreaction to mononucleosis, chronic inflammation, and his hyperactive immune system.

I found an article that mentioned that the highest concentration of "parasites" were found in the camp sites of ancient Viking tribes. Especially high was the concentration of hookworms which was double what they had found in other parts of the world. I had always heard from modern medicine and my own naturopathic school Page 67

that "parasites" like hookworms had a negative effect on the body. However the Vikings were described by both Persian and Roman historians as extremely healthy and powerful. So those two pieces of the puzzle didn't fit. One of them was wrong. Either worms made you sick or they made you strong. The evidence pointed to them a making you strong. Page 71

I give my son hookworms I experimented with hookworms on myself over a few months. Once I was satisfied Page 72 of 353

with my own experiment, I gave hookworms to my son. His labs improved immediately and he has continued to improve in the years since then.

When you get to the stage of adding more worms... the the body will select the best worms from the new batch that you put in. The body also goes through a reset process with each dose. This is why we see improvement with every application. It is also best to have a variety of ages of hookworms in your body because each stage supports a different hormone, endocrine or neurological / biochemical system.

Hookworms are the only approach natural or conventional that lowered his inflammation.

if it had mouse hookworms, it would not reject the graft. Isn't the process of chronic inflammation like rejecting your OWN organ? Well if worms can stop transplanted organ rejections, how about the inflammation caused when we reject our own organs?

I don't recommend any natural hormone approach unless someone takes worms. Without worms the risk of hormones outweighs the bene ts.

Healthy Vikings with Worms? A Persian writer a thousand years ago wrote about how disgusting the Vikings were in their behavior. They would basically share a big bowl of water and bathe, blow their nose, drink, etc., all from the same bowl. The Vikings did not fear illnesses because of their very strong immune systems. This was the same immune

system that allowed them to go around the world as invaders and traders. Interestingly the ancient writer would also write about how beautiful, tall, healthy and vigorous the Viking people were. How were these people so healthy and strong if they had the most "parasites"? It seemed that the difference between yesterday's healthy Page 79

Hookworms have multiple effects One aspect of hookworms is that they release a chemical similar to prednisone,

We have all gotten used to using probiotics to restore the bacteria in our body. Now we have parasite probiotics, restoring the natural worm population to our body. however, they release only and exactly the amount that you need to calm excess inflammation. You and the worms have a goal in common, and that is to

keep your inflammation low. Every mammal has a hookworm population, every primate has a hookworm population, and until a few generations ago every Page 89

human-being had hookworms and other worms.

inflammation means fire. This state of the body is fight or flight. In this state the body is struggling to be victorious in a

perceived battle between a bug and the immune system. Lots of damage is done by the immune system but the body will repair itself after the battle is over.

Page 91

Without the right structure there is no chance for the immune system to work properly. Hookworms restore the normal structure so that we can restore the normal function. Page 92 of 353

In chronic inflammatory people they are relying on the hookworms to provide the signal to turn off inflammation. In these people the anti-inflammation organ is hookworms. Killing hookworms causes chronic inflammation In the last few generations humans, as a group, have done

their own experiment. What happens to the highly aggressive immune system of humans when you take their hookworms away? The results of this experiment selfobvious.There is an epidemic of chronic inflammation and abnormal cell growth that is getting worse, not better. We can see that conditions of accelerated immunity Page 93

A child would get hookworms as soon as their feet touched the soil.We can say by six months they would de nitely have hookworms and would begin developing tolerance.

Page 94 of 353

in conditions like Chronic obstructive pulmonary illness (COPD) and emphysema that have been directly linked to a Viking gene that regulated the amount of worms in the lungs. So people received this pro-inflammatory lung gene...but without having the strong antiinflammatory support that an active hookworm population would give.

That allows lung inflammation to race out of control. How do you take hookworms? Hookworms are applied to the skin and find their way to the intestine. In the intestine, they grow to about half an inch long and are as wide as a few hairs. They live in one small section of the small intestine only and nowhere else in the body.

Page 95

They can live as long as a person lives. It is important to remember that hookworms are only successful in their Page 96 of 353

life if you are successful in yours. The worm wants you healthy.

Why is chronic in ammation and abnormal cell growth out of control? What has changed? Nothing has been a bigger change than the elimination of worms from our body.

Our ancestors had something we lost...the immune system calming provided by having a population of hookworms. Instead of health and vigor the ancients write about...today's Vikings have chronic inflammation weakness and disease. Page 107

There is nothing wrong with your immune system. Your immune system has been refined over eons. You are not sick because you are weak, you are Page 108 of 353

sick because you are strong. There is nothing wrong with a fish that can't breathe out of water, it is not meant to breathe out of water.

Hookworms are applied on a small sticky gauze pad to the top of the left foot. Then you might get a little itching and you can scratch. That is all part of the immunological reset process.

Our immune system was not made to work without hookworms...like a fish was not meant to breathe out of water.

Humans Have Worms In examinations of ancient human settlements worms are always found in stool. Worms are a normal part of the intestinal ecosystem. Page 109

In Africa, they consistently find at least nine worms. In Asia they always find twelve worms. In North America they Page 110 of 353

always find at least twelve worms. In Europe, they consistently find eighteen worms.

Hookworms determine how we react and why we react. In native cultures high antibodies do not trigger immune reactions. High eosinophils are normal eosinophils. Because they have worms to control their response.

If you look throughout every continent in digestive samples going back 9,000 years you find that human beings had worms as a normal part of their intestinal ecosystem. This includes the nobles of the time and ancient Egyptian mummies. So the worms found in stool are not the random sample of a sick person, but a normal inhabitant of the intestines, even in the

Some of that information is held by various indigenous and native peoples (Shamans), some of it is held by your

What I am trying to say above, albeit poorly...is that you need to take chance if you want a cure for chronic disease.

Page 118 of 353

grandma, some of it his held by your neighbors if you asked. "Standard of care" means giving the same assessment and disease the same pharmaceutical agents.

Some of that information, about what goes wrong and can go wrong in the human organism, is held by our friend the hookworm.

This is great when it works...but what about when it doesn't?

When you have hookworms, and listen to them, they will "instruct" you on what is right for your body, and when it is right.

Page 119

There are two main homes for worms, the hookworms in the small intestine ...and whipworms in the large intestine...and they both keep the bad organisms out.

I am aware this sounds strange, like love itself, you could read many books and not know love. It is the experience of love that teaches us what love is. It is the experience of worms that teaches us what worms know ;) Benefits of re-dosing Even when a person reaches their "set point" or ideal dose we find they can benefit from re-dosing.

This is because every re-introduction of hookworms creates a healing stem cell surge. So if I do something to myself in the gym that seems to have gone a bit beyond my capacity then I will take a dose of hookworms even though I am at my set point or capacity. I find that a dose of hookworms at night and a good sleep and I wake in the morning not even remembering the knee, elbow, neck Page 121

Every human being has an ideal environment. If you're not in the right environment, then you get sick. For some of us...that means we need hookworms to have the "right environment.

Page 122 of 353

or other pain that was bothering me. Additionally a new dose may cause a "swap" of one of more of the existing hookworms for a new member of the capacity group. This will happen if the existing hookworms get along better with the new hookworm then one of the old ones. :( It's a harsh reality... I know ... however.... the

benefit to you is that your hookworms work better ;) How do I know if my hookworms have died? First of all these little guys do not die easily...we share a very similar hookworm to gorillas. Gorillas eat bamboo which breaks down to cyanide in their stomach, and this doesn't kill their worms.

returning. At that point we figure out the best way to get back up to a good dosage. The reassuring thing is that this change from having worms to not having worms is usually very clear to both us and the human ;) The Australian Hookworm Study Recently, a study was done in Australia where 12 people with a gluten Page 125

reactions were given hookworms to resolve their chronic inflammation. All of the participants had

Page 126 of 353

their reaction to gluten resolved. At the end of the study, none of the study subjects allowed their

off; they all opted to keep hookworms. They felt so much freedom from being able to eat a food that previously gave them severe reactions.

For all we know some, most, or maybe all people require hookworms to properly digest grains. We know for sure that at least those people diagnosed with a gluten reaction do. Calming Effect Hookworms have the ability to change and control many of the immune system and hormonal system regulating compounds.

Page 127

This is a strong reaction on a sensitive place to use hookworms, it is not that bad, right? :)

Page 128 of 353

There’s a lot of these biological calming chemicals listed in the references at the end of the booklet. The most important thing to know is that hookworms can release a chemical that looks exactly like the antiinflammatory hormone prednisone. The difference is that the hookworms release the chemicals molecule by molecule. One at a time, unlike drugs. They give you just the inflammation control

that you need without the side effects of drugs. Hookworms also organize the bacteria in the intestines. If they see a bacteria they don't like in the intestine then they will cause the immune system to eliminate that bacteria. If they see a bacteria they like then they will encourage the growth of that bacteria. By organizing the bacteria, hookworms take

unnecessary stress off of the immune system. Because of this the immune system gets a new stability and stops over reacting to every stimulant. We used to think that there were parts of the body that were sterile and had no bacteria. Now we realize that bacteria are everywhere in the body. Which makes sense...since bacteria Page 129

There is nothing new about Lyme and tick borne bacteria...NOT having worms is new.

Eosinophils and Abnormal cell growth Eosinophils are the white blood cells that are elevated by worms. Eosinophils cause abnormal cell growth rejection by normalizing vessels Page 132 of 353

defense. (Cormier) In a sane future... a person with chronic complaints...will go to their pharmacist to ll their hookworm prescription. There will be different hookworms for different conditions like we use now.

Activated eosinophils are essential for tumor rejection. Tumor activated eosinophils (TATE) are an independent factor for good abnormal cell growth prognosis. There is an inverse association between eosinophil count and abnormal cell growth. This means the more eosinophils makes less abnormal cell growth risk. (PMC3175810).

Page 135

The mental, emotional, and physical lows points are not anywhere near as low as they were before starling hookworms...the baseline is so elevated compared to the state before worms.

Page 136 of 353

So the goal is to get the eosinophils up and worms do that. Hookworms are a process, not a drug. The changes and improvements can continue for years. People with a long history of in ammation may go through many different phases.

Brain Inflammation Also when people get inflammatory scar tissue on their brain called amyloid plaques, that is also an inflammatory reaction to the body aggressively attacking the normal bacteria in the brain. This attack leads to complaints that we call Alzheimer's or dementia and other

brain illnesses. Developmental Delay Obviously the causes of autism are a very controversial subject. What we can at a minimum say the state

As you would expect the rate of juvenile arthritis... is higher in blonde haired blue eyed kids. More Viking genes equals more chronic in ammation and more autoimmune disease.

of chronic inflammation should be moderated by Hookworms. Actually it was a person with autism years ago that actually started me thinking about the counter inflammatory affect of worms. The father of the boy with autism came into see me one visit and said that he had taken his son on a walk through the woods. Both of them had come back with a ton a chiggers.

Chiggers are a flea like animal that burrows under the skin and is extremely itchy. The boy came back with chiggers up and down his legs. When they woke up the morning after the hike the man was shocked that his son was very functional and that his autism complaints had greatly diminished. These complaints gradually reappeared as the chiggers resolved. The man came in Page 141

temporary infection had alleviated his son's complaints. He told me that story ten years ago and I never forgot it, but never had an approach that I could apply to the situation until I learned about hookworms and the helminthic approach.

convinced that this Page 143

Increasing the

protective gel of the guts. How do the hookworms work to resolve inflammation? One mechanical effect the worms have is that they increase the

protective mucus layer of the intestine. This extra protective layer prevents food proteins from activating the immune system. This prevents the foods from creating antibodies which is another way of saying that it is food reactions. The immune system has w default setting that says that if in doubt about whether a protein is a friend or a foe then knock it out.

Page 145

Just resolving food reactions alone would be enough to take tremendous stress off of the immune system. But this is just one small part of what worms do. Page 146 of 353

I resolved many inflammation situations with the elimination of food reactions, but there are a few downsides to that approach. When we avoid a food, we tell our body that this food is rare and therefore we should binge and eat a lot of it when it is available. If blueberries only come out for a week, then it makes sense to

consume as much as possible. We put people in a craving state when we make them eliminate their food. Another problem with elimination diets is that it creates a feeling of separateness from others. Eating at a special lunch table, or not participating completely in holiday meals can create a feeling of isolation. Remember, one of the ways that various groups of people

separate themselves is by dietary restrictions. The last and important point about food reactions is that restricting a food group may create a nutritional deficiency. Of course, if the only option was eating your food reaction or having complaints, then you need to stop the food reaction. Hookworms give us the option of keeping all of the foods, but changing Page 147

the bodies reactions to the foods. One of the ways the body does this is by raising the mucus level in the intestine. Just like a high tide keeps the boats from hitting the rocks, Page 148 of 353

Hookworms and other human worm species have been around for millions of years..They know how to get along with humans. In fact they had a big hand in designing the body.

increasing the mucus level in the intestine stops the reaction food protein from triggering the immune system. Hookworms are more like a symbiotic organism. Where a parasite depletes the body, a symbiotic organism works with you for the mutual benefit of both organisms. Every mammal has a hookworm population, every primate has a hookworm a

population, and every human-being, up to a few generations ago, had a hookworm population. Under inflammatory states hookworms release a chemical that works exactly like prednisone. However, unlike the massive applications of drugs that create side effects, hookworms release antiinflammatory chemicals molecule by molecule. The worms rely on you to be healthy so they can Page 149

make their eggs. If you are not well, are sick, or are not alive those worms are gone from the face of the earth. Getting the Right Worms? As long as you get the right worms then you are dealing with a species who’s sole purpose in life is to make you healthy and happy. This is why it is so important to know exactly what worms Page 150 of 353

There can be some exciting times on the worms with periods of feeling really well. But mostly what we recommend is to “set is and forget it.” Let the worms work in the background and simply live your life.

Our experience has shown us that different and gentle dosing schedules make a huge difference in outcome.

you are getting. All hookworms look the same under the microscope, but there are two major species. We call them the bad one the wolf worm (ancylostoma duodenale) and the good one the dog worm (necator americanus). Just like wolves and dogs, they might look the same as puppies, but the behavior they show when they grow up is very different.

Page 152 of 353

When you look at letters and pictures on the internet about hookworms; you are seeing "wolf" worm reactions. It doesn’t make sense to use a worm that you do not know what it is or where it came from.

I will never understand why people will use worms that do not have a DNA linage analysis. And even if you know you are getting the right species of worm, it is important to know whether you are getting the aggressive worm or the gentle worm. The gentle worm we call NA457 after its genetic code. Just like getting a pet for your home, you want the breed that is most compatible with

people who do not correctly identify the worms they are working with, and therefore end up using the wrong worms. It is very interesting to see how each person reacts to an application of worms. It is almost as if each person’s situation is like the layers of cake. In some situations, people will feel an emotional change first. Most commonly what is described is the elimination of anxiety,

but there are a fair number of situations that come in and talk about how their physical healing was accelerated. The Elimination of Anxiety One common reaction to the hookworms is a decrease of anxiety. It is more than the just the sensation that someone would get if they took a sedative. For some people it is the complete elimination of any Page 157

Page 158 of 353

sensation of anxiety and a complete sense of calm for the first time in their life. I experienced this myself. Over the years I had been getting more and more inflammatory and that had made my anxiety increase. It had gotten to the point where if I received a letter that was even addressed in a way that looked like it would be work or paperwork then could trigger stress for days.

After I took the worms I felt a profound sense of calm. It was not as if I did not recognize the challenges in my life, it was just that I could not generate a sense of anxiety about the situations. It was a sense of calm I had not experienced since childhood. I later learned that this anxiety was caused by chemicals in the body called cytokines. Cytokines are the inflammation signals that your body uses to Page 159

Page 160 of 353

Wormy will choose the best response to get to the healing process the quickest. Page 161

It is so important to control anxiety because anxiety turns off your brain. When you have a feeling of anxiety that is a part of the brain called the amygdala being activated. activate the immune system. There are some drugs that decrease cytokines but the only thing that does it without dangerous side effects that we know scientifically is hookworm approach.

Page 166 of 353

The amygdala is a leftover part of our brain from the dinosaur age. When that part is activated we become the little animal whose best strategy for survival was to freeze. If there is no immediate danger you

Everyone that has hookworms is far more concerned about accidentally hurting them. Because they feel so well.

considered immune signals.

The body triggers the experience of anxiety by producing cortisol and adrenaline. The signal to produce these hormones comes from the pituitary gland. Hookworms directly stop the production of adrenaline and cortisol since these can be

Today this high adrenaline gets activated in all kinds of situations that are not acute danger.

If you think about adrenaline it rises when there is some kind of physical danger.

One of the most common experiences with hookworm approach, sometimes immediately is a decrease of anxiety. Page 179

strangest feeling, and I know it is probably something that needs to be experienced in order to be understood. Sometimes the idea of hookworms seems strange to people. Yet, these same people would not think twice if they needed a titanium rod to heal a fracture, or if they needed to take a probiotic after an antibiotics.

stopping the immune system. That powerful organ is called hookworms. Hookworms, when they are applied, are not even visible to the naked eye; they are microscopic. They go on a bandage that is applied to the foot or upper arm. I put it on my foot because I think it more naturally mimics how the hookworms are transmitted in nature.

Page 185

MTHFR and methylation We have had many people with various genetic mutations. I have tried all of the

Page 186 of 353

various methylation protocols and solutions. If you have been trying to support yourself or get supported for methylation issues you know what I am talking

about. Methylation is basically how quickly your body processes vitamins to the active form in you body. What is important to recognize about genes that decrease methylation (activation) is that these are nordic ice age genes. And these are not mutations - these are genetic selections. In other words the same genes that gave you an MTHFR mutation are the genes

that are looking for and expecting hookworms in you body. Gentle Hookworms Gentle worming is done with one worm per week, this way every person no matter what their sensitivities are can benefit from the anti-inflammatory effects of hookworms. We can look for more more subtle signs of reaction to the hookworms than just the itching that can Page 187

other allergies eliminated also. That includes allergies to dust, mites, pollen, etc. Joint hyper flexible joint syndrome. Also take place on the foot. Even one worm can have a deep effect on the human organism and is definitely something that can be felt. Allergies While we eliminate food allergies we see Page 188 of 353

know as EhlersDanlos syndrome. One of the most remarkable and satisfying reactions to hookworm approach has been in those person with loose and painful joints.

Every person has a natural number of worms that their body wants. It is the same as taking a bacterial probiotic. There is a natural "set" point limiting the amount in us.

This is a condition where the collagen or connective tissue of the body is too loose and flexible. Because of this these people get a lot of excessive movement of the joints. This causes a lot of inflammation in their body and leads to a lot of chronic pain. I honestly had no idea that this approach would help this condition, if fact the first people with Ehlers-Danlos symptom that saw Page 189

Uncle Gus your ancient ancestor was a small mammal. He lived 100 million years ago among the dinosaurs. improvement were actually using hookworms for other problems. It was them who told me that their joints and pain had greatly improved.

Page 190 of 353

He froze still to avoid predators. Stress shuts down your thinking process.

Worms control the inflammation gate. For years I have helped people manage their health by removing the hidden food reactions through IgG and IgA food reaction testing. This counts the number of antibodies you make to a food. The only option that I had for people at that time if they tested high to a food was to give up the foods that tested high. This would at least keep the

antibodies in the blood from finding the food protein they were looking for. At least by stopping this beginning step we would stop the end step which was the inflammatory symptom. I knew there were steps in the middle between...the antibody which was being created to catch the food protein and the eventual inflammatory complaints...but I had no idea of how to control those middle Page 191

Hookworms prevent chronic in ammation and food reactions in babies. When the mom has hookworms then it programs the baby more tolerant of the environment. More tolerance puts everyone on the right path.

Page 192 of 353

steps and had never heard of them being controlled unless it was a drug like prednisone.

blood to proteins in the environment, but they had less inflammation and complaints.

In my reading I found that naive tribes with worms had a much higher amount of antibodies to various substances in their environment including food proteins.

It turns out that hookworms control the middle step of the inflammatory process. With hookworms you can make antibodies to the environment including foods without having the inflammatory effects at the end.

They had more antibodies but did not have the expected allergic reactions. They produced more antibodies in their

Hookworms are the gate keeper to our inflammatory Page 193

reactions. The hookworms are very smart about when to allow an inflammatory reactions and when to block them. The hookworms stop inflammatory reactions to foods and the environment and this makes these native peoples much less allergic.

Babies and Hookworms & Pregnancy In nature, the hookworms are transmitted when night soil is used to fertilize crops. The hookworms mature in the soil and then when people walk in the soil to tend the crops, they get infected with hookworms. This cycle would continue for quite a few of years. Babies would get worms by 6

Pregnant women would have worms and that would make sure that the baby was not reactive to Page 195

Not having a hookworm causes an increase in infections. (mpairwe) In native cultures, children are known to have a hookworm by 6 months of age. (Brooker 1999) foods when it was born. When pregnant and breastfeeding moms have hookworms, it prevents reactions in their children. Page 196 of 353

Having hookworms prevents excessive reactions to common infections. These include in childhood infections and illnesses such as mononucleosis.

If we imagine these Viking women tending crops and walking daily through soil fertilized with poo then we see that even our most frequent applications does not compare to ancient exposure.

to better palate formation from tongue pressure.

Hookworms are proven to make children less reactive to the environment. When children are less reactive, they are also less likely to experience mouth breathing, which leads

Avoiding braces prevents nerve root trauma and tooth loss. The early introduction of hookworms can induce a virtuous good health cycle.

When the tongue exerts proper pressure, the palate widens, allowing accommodation of teeth, and less need for braces.

Wormy itch is the rst step in calming you down and calming down your hyperactive immune system.

Page 198 of 353

The important point here is that hookworms are easy to get, when people go to study gorillas in nature they often come back carrying gorilla hookworm. The hookworms are that easy to get in nature. How do the worms get in? The worms, when they make contact with the skin, create a keratin tube that allows them to move through skin and into the

circulation. That is the part that itches. Through the circulation they make contact with the lung tissue and work their way through to the inside of the lung. Then, the wave motion of the cilia carry the larva up the trachea until they hit the epiglottis at the top of the windpipe. That "flip-flop" cover (epiglottis) is designed perfectly for the Page 199

Page 200 of 353

transmission of worms to the esophagus or the food pipe. They go right down the intestine until they hit the right environment for them. That environment is a small subsection of the small intestine. They can't live anywhere else in the body. Gluten Reaction Resolved Hookworms are the best option for regulating the immune system if

you want to use helminths (worms) to do so. This is also called helminthic approach. Hookworms cannot reproduce in the human body. Only the number of hookworms put on your skin will be in your body. The Australian research showed that everyone has their own natural set Page 201

point or set amount of hookworms that is right for their body. Each of the three researchers took 50 hookworms. After a few months, they examined themselves and found that they all had the amount of hookworms that they started with. So it seems that our bodies have a set point for worms just Page 202 of 353

like they have a natural set point for the amount of bacteria. I turned to hookworms when all of my other tools did not work. That includes tools like homeopathy, herbs and nutrition, and also conventional drugs like prednisone, antibiotics, and antivirals.

None of those tools worked for my son's chronic in ammatory reaction to mono because they were not able to control his immune system. It required a live organism that wanted to control the in ammation to stop the chronic in ammation reaction. Now that he is three years on his worms, he has the

added bene t of being freed from food reactions. Spending years having a chronic in ammation and trying to help other people with it - I feel really grateful to have a found the miraculous things called hookworms. There is no doubt that natural stuff like homeopathy and herbs work, but my

Page 203

experience is that they work in situations whose immune system naturally wants to be brought back into balance and in a calm state. When you have chronic in ammation genes, like myself and my son, there is no natural or conventional medicine that will resolve the situation. Because the natural

Page 204 of 353

set point for our immune system is highly aggressive and nothing can change that. Restoring us to "normal" just means we will continue to be in ammatory and reactive - for us that is our normal baseline. If you x a furnace and make it run

properly you still have a furnace. The problem is not our immune system, we have the strongest immune systems. It is the absence of immune control. I have been seeing in ammatory people for several years now that have chosen to use hookworms to correct their health problems.

It continues to amaze me how much progress they make, even with conditions that were very dif cult to help before hookworms. It seems as if hookworms take over the role of general contractor in building a balanced immune system. If they do not like a bacteria in your

Page 205

system the get rid of it. If they want to build up another bacteria they will make you crave the foods that encourage its growth. They seem to have a strong ability to regulate the pituitary gland and change our hormone balance. This pituitary response is very important because

Page 206 of 353

the hookworms regulate the stress response system. It prevents chronic heightened stress response. Hookworms have made even the most dif cult situations enjoyable to work with because they do most of the work and we can just be supportive. Now the years of experience in

homeopathy, herbs and vitamins and other natural therapies work with even these most in ammatory people. Because we are no longer trying to lift a boulder with a fork. Remember, we are trying to remodel a system that tends to want to go out of balance so obviously the more expertisethe better. Support is key to make the

hookworm transition successful. Most importantly for me the hookworms are the rst approach I have encountered that is truly an antifragile approach. So many of the other tools available to me as a naturopath are what I call fragile therapies. They are therapies that assume the person is weak and

Page 207

will always stay weak. Because the person is weak they need to eliminate foods that they are sensitive too, and need to avoid stress and aggravation and then they need a bunch of supplements.

Page 208 of 353

Many of these supplements are concentrated a few of times higher than you would nd in nature. Having done elimination diets and herbs and nutrients, and homeopathy with quite a few of people I can say that although these work in the calmer situations...very chronic in ammation situations do not get

better with this approach. These people have to live a somewhat rigid to very rigid lifestyle to make the natural approach work. Or they have to take dangerous drugs. Both of these are fragile. Hookworms are antifragile and I will try and explain why.

The Only "Alive" approach Hookworms are symbiotic organisms that are only healthy if you are healthy. So they want things to go well for you and for your body. They are alive and feeling and sensing, and can respond to changes as needed to balance their environment, your body.

Page 209

I don't know of any other approach that can rival this aspect of worm therapy. That the worms are constantly adapting to changes in your body. This is because other approaches cannot respond the the environment or change according to the body. When you give vitamin C it will always be vitamin C and not vitamin A. Hookworms are alive. They have wants, and Page 210 of 353

desires. Not human versions of these characteristics but hookworm wants, and desires. Your hookworms care about these things because they depend on you for their own lives. Nature has taught them how to take care of you. This is a symbiotic organism. Hookworms are only successful if we are successful, they are

only happy if we are happy. Every mammal has a hookworm population, every primate has a hookworm population and every human being up to a few generations ago had hookworms. Human beings without hookworms are the experiment in medicine...not receiving hookworms. And the experiment of eliminating hookworms from humans has been a disaster. Especially in

the people that have the highest concentration of Viking DNA. The biggest predictor of both chronic inflammation and abnormal cell growth is having the highly aggressive Viking immune DNA without having the immunoregulation provided by hookworms. Hookworms want to pull your body into balance because a balanced body serves them the best. Page 211

Hookworms that took care of their hosts in the past were the ones most likely to be passed on to the next generation. They are alive, they grow to about half and inch long and the width of a human hair, and they will adapt and change to control your inflammation. When they learn that gluten makes you inflammatory they will change the bacteria in your intestine and Page 212 of 353

release a little bit of anti-inflammatory hormone when you eat gluten. You become anti-fragile to gluten. If you are stressed they release anti-stress hormones, you become anti-fragile to stress. You train them like you were bringing them to the gym. In the Australian hookworm study they slowly increased the amount of gluten that they were giving to people and the

hookworms learned how to control that reaction. There is no doubt that the ability to eat grains provided a major advantage in preventing starvation and providing and alternative source of calories. It is also true that some of us, maybe all of us, require hookworms to properly digest grains.

Can it really be a bad thing that our immune system is too strong? The most successful immune system in human history was from a small tribe of Vikings. We sometime think of ourselves as German, Irish, English, etc., In the United States, we are the product of these people that crossed the ocean and came to America. Your chronic inflammation Page 213

is the remnant of Viking DNA that allowed these people be the most geographically spread in history, you just forgot your worms! If you're going to have a powerful engine you need to have powerful brakes. The only brakes that I have found for the runaway chronic inflammation that we have is hookworms. If a gorilla cannot fit into a business suit, Page 214 of 353

then that is not a gorilla problem. If our human bodies need hookworms and don't have them, then that is not a pathology, that is an imbalance. And this is what hookworms helped me realize: the problem is there is no problem. Chronic inflammation is like saying the immune system is too strong. Can that really be a problem? This is like saying that a car is too fast.

Would you really fix a car engine if someone came to you and said, “My car’s engine is really powerful and fast and if I put the pedal down it goes past the other cars.”? Well isn’t that the same thing we are saying about highly inflammatory chronic inflammation persons? Your immune system is too good, too successful, too inflammatory? How can this be anything but nonsense? A

powerful engine is never a problem and neither is a powerful immune system. Now if this car has no brakes do you then say it's a problem of the engine? Of course not. So if we have removed the brakes from the car with the most powerful engine ever can you really be surprised we have problems? This is why all of us inflammatory people that end up living such compromised lives. I Page 215

myself was gluten, egg, dairy, nightshade, salicylate, fructose, citrus, yeast and shellfish free for almost ten years. Yes it did help control my complaints, but driving only on straight road with no curves. It was also incredibly boring and at some level depressing and defeating. I remember I used to go to the gym one day and then my body with would be super stiff for weeks. I love to Page 216 of 353

workout and this made it miserable. Plus, if I did pull a muscle or a tendon then it would take me months to heal. Now, since I have had my worms for three years, I work out twice a day at least six days a week. Most exciting though is if I do go a little too hard and pull a muscle or tendon then all that I need is a good night’s sleep and it is better in the morning.

The normal viking immune system is in the "red zone" When Vikings have this highly aggressive auto-immune genetic system nothing will correct the imbalance because there is no imbalance. A perfectly tuned Viking immune’s system is not calm and in the green zone. It is active and in the yellow zone getting ready to go into the red zone.

So we can’t support the person that is naturally in the green zone like a person that is naturally in the yellow zone. Let’s say I have a guy come in with three years of large intestine inflammation since antibiotics. If he did not have inflammation before and it does not run in the family this is not a big deal. This would be an easy green zone situation. If this person takes somethings simple like Page 217

homeopathy, some probiotics, some herbs, they should self correct and get better. Compare that to me and my family, both my mom and dad had stomach issues and all of my siblings have been diagnosed with chronic inflammation and autoimmune disease. Then I had severe ulcerative colitis. I am a yellow zone situation that went into the red.

Page 218 of 353

If we have another plague epidemic then my system will be the one that survives because it is aggressive. However, short of that scenario...my immune system made me miserable. When we look at the set of genes that make for higher inflammation and higher risk of autoimmunity I have many of them. I even have many of the neanderthal genes

known for increasing the risk for chronic inflammation. The only thing that will get me into the green, no-inflammation zone is the counter balancing anti-inflammatory action of hookworms. Hookworms never sleep, they are constantly looking for issues that would interfere with their successful egg productions. (Their eggs are tiny microscopic and not transmittable to another

person without a life cycle in the soil.) Worm Journey and Settlement Day 1-3 worms pass through the skin and enter the blood. This process will include itching and redness. This is an important part of the hookworm journey. From the moment they touch the skin they are starting get programed to match the needs of your body.

Page 219

Day 3-5 circulating worms pass through the blood and stick to the lung tissue. Then they squeeze their way through to the inside of lungs.

the top of the pipes. Interestingly the epiglottis is perfectly designed to transfer the worms.

The wave like action of the cilia or hairs of the lung bring the worms up to the top of the trachea or wind pipe.

From week 2-3 and the hookworms settle in one small six inch section of the small intestine. This is where they can live for fifteen years or longer.

Once they get up to the top of the wind pipe they are transferred from the wind pipe to the esophagus by the epiglottis or little lid at

During that time and for the weeks that follow the body will be adapting constantly to the presence of worms. Remember that your

Page 220 of 353

body should have had worms at six months old so there is an adaptation phase. The adaptation phase, if it happens at all, usually peaks at week six to week eight. This could include some loose stools or a mild tummy ache. There may be other times where complaints wax and wane. You may get a weird symptom here and there. Maybe a left ear pain and then maybe a right toe pain.

Just trust that you and your new friends will figure out the best way to keep your inflammation low together. Pregnancy and Hookworms One of the places we see that hookworms can teach the body immune system tolerance is with pregnancy. Women that have hookworms have much Page 221

less reaction children. For those of us that have chronic inflammation in our family we know that a less reaction kid is a less chronic inflammation child. If you know anything about having a child with chronic inflammation the importance of this can not be emphasized enough. It is an understatement to say that this situation is torture for the child and the parents. Page 222 of 353

Hookworms are the only approach shown to decrease reactions and therefore chronic inflammation in the next generation. Sometimes the mother's chronic inflammation starts at pregnancy. This is due to an effect called chimerism where the mother adopts some of the child's DNA and then starts getting immune to that DNA and creating chronic inflammation in herself.

There is no problem taking hookworms or having hookworms while breastfeeding that I have seen. In fact there is every reason to suspect that the baby receives much less stress hormones when the mother has a proper population of hookworms in her system in addition to a much better balance of hormones including growth hormone.

Tick borne bacteria and Hookworms A similar chronic inflammation reaction happens with the tick borne bacteria borrelia . The problem is not the bacteria itself. This Tick borne bacteria has been around for a long time. When they defrosted the iceman they found from five thousand years ago they found that he had tick borne bacteria.

Page 223

If the caveman had tick borne bacteria it is quite possible that his entire clan or all people had tick borne bacteria at that time. Also a few years ago, the researchers found a tick that had been preserved in amber from fiftymillion years ago. This tick from millions of years ago also had tick borne bacteria. Tick borne bacteria is not new, even the dinosaurs had it. What is new is human-beings Page 224 of 353

without hookworms. This is the new experiment. And what have we seen from this experiment? We have seen a tremendous increase in chronic inflammation and abnormal cell growth in anglo people over the last few generations. Tick borne bacteria borrelia cannot be killed when it is in the body. They did a study a few years ago and found

that when monkeys have tick borne bacteria no matter how long they put them on antibiotics and what kind of antibiotic they have when they examined the monkey's organs in detail they still find tick borne bacteria.

If we leave it alone it does not cause a problem. It is because of our chronic inflammatory fight that generates the destructive changes that cause illness. It is what we do to ourselves that causes the problems.

But that is ok because it is not the Tick borne bacteria borrelia that is the problem, it is the body's over-reaction the that bacteria.

Mono Virus and Chronic Fatigue It is the same story in the situation of chronic fatigue, mono, and chronic Epstein-Barr syndrome. The mono Page 225

virus is a herpes virus that lives normally in the vagus nerve that travels throughout our body. This is the nerve that makes us feel sick when we have the flu. The mono virus is a herpes virus that has its normal home in the vagus nerve and has for ages. What is new for the body is to have an immune system that is constantly attacking the mono virus and therefore keeping the vagus nerve in an Page 226 of 353

inflammatory state. I have always found it interesting to note that in order for the mono virus to reproduce it requires the immune system to attack it. Without the immune system reaction it cannot reproduce. Basically people with chronic fatigue and chronic Epstein-Barr have had a situation of the flu for years or decades. Hookworms with their immune calming and antiinflammatory power

have the ability to restore the immune tolerance that we should have to the mono virus. Transplant Rejection Hookworms have been studied with preventing rejection of transplants. Mice were given skin grafts with and without the normal mouse hookworm. When the mice had active hookworm infections they were much less likely to

reject the skin grafts. This has tremendous implications for anyone that might be having inflammation as a result of any kind of foreign substance in their body. This includes breast implants, titanium rods and pins, dental implants, hernia grafts, fillers, and other surgical or cosmetic substances. Obviously hookworms should also be used with an actual human Page 227

organ transplant. Given the devastating results of rejecting an organ everything should be done to create a tolerant and accepting immune system. Anti-fragile effect of hookworms Since my hookworms my body has become anti-fragile, after three years I can eat whatever I want, and man, do I love it. I have set all of my weight lifting personal bests including from Page 228 of 353

when I was eighteen years old. I have complete trust in my body again. I understand it was the whole chronic inflammation nonsense that kept my mind locked up for years. Not only does my body work again but my brain functions at a higher level then ever before. My strength of concentration is far beyond anything I could have imagined.

Erections and Sex drive The background level of stress that I constantly felt from inflammation is completely gone. And not for nothing, as we say :) but my libido is better than ever also. At 56 years old it is stronger than it was decades ago. The largest gorilla in the tribe will have the most hookworms and highest testosterone. It seems that the

hookworms allow and encourage higher testosterone levels. This is probably just another hookworm success strategy. I have seen the same response in both male and female persons. I see that the hormone therapy works better and in a lower application when there is a good hookworm population in the gut. Sometimes women that have been on hormonal approach actually go Page 229

off the hormones when the hookworms get established because they don't need them. The affect in men is that they seem to be able to tolerate more of their own natural testosterone and bioidentical testosterone supplementation without side effects. They conducted a study where they killed off the hookworms of pregnant moms and they found out the kids came out much more Page 230 of 353

inflammatory and therefore prone to chronic inflammation. There is no way I would have another baby without the mom having hookworms. To be pregnant without worms is very dangerous if your genetics tend to have high inflammatory genes. In a natural environment children would normally have their own hookworm population by six

months. It does not matter when hookworms are given to the moms. Hookworms were constantly being acquired during human pregnancy in the past. Worms for side effects from conventional medicines. One of the reasons for my chronic anxiety was a reaction to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin that I took during my

years in school. One of the reactions to this antibiotics is a syndrome that is called being "floxed". Like most drugs the antibiotic ciprofloxacin is fine for most people and completely toxic if you have the wrong genes. I had the wrong genes for this drug. I never remember feeling anxiety for a single day in my life before my reaction. After a few doses of the antibiotic Page 231

ciprofloxacin I had severe antibiotic induced anxiety syndrome. I had some version of this anxiety until my first application of hookworms at which point the low level of anxiety in my nervous system stopped. I do not know about other chronic drug reactions. But given my experience it may be worth a try.

Page 232 of 353

Hookworms and shots. There are many good resources on required shots. I am not one of them. :) I am a health philosopher, not an immunologist. In a discussion with an older relative I was very supportive and encouraging regarding getting an anti-viral shot. (This was in spite of the objection of his

friend and homeopath.) He had become so anxious about the virus that it was debilitating. He would no longer see friends, family and loved ones...virusphobia if you will. What is important for me to share is that whether One gets a shot or not, hookworms can help avoid potential over

reaction...to either a natural virus or to a man made one. It is pretty well established in modern times that many chronic in ammation are triggered by immune reactions to viruses or bacteria. Hookworms by their nature are on the lookout for immune system over reactions.

Page 233

If you are a medic, lawyer, teacher, police of cer, re ghter, student, etc. then your job may require a shot.

Page 234 of 353 fi

When they see them then they release substance that are capable of controlling those reactions whether caused by natural infection or injection.

Some people are very concerned they are likely to over react to receiving a shot. Keep in mind that the same immune system that may make you a hyper responder to a shot would probably make you high risk for getting a bad situation of the natural virus also.

It was found in researching malaria that those people that had hookworms had a lower chance of the worst malarial complaints. Also, an epidemiological study of the populations least at risk for severe viral complaints had helminthic populations.

The most important part of doing worms is getting the right worm. Microscopically worms are indistinguishable, and there are two worms that look a lot alike, we call them the wolf worm and the dog worm. Not because they come from these animals of course. We call them this because one is domesticated and the other is not. Page 235

When you see extreme reactions pictures online that is because someone got the wolf worm. Wolfs are not domesticated and neither are wolf worms. You want the dog worm and even within the dog family there are pitbull worms and poodle worms, you want the poodle worms. You want the most domesticated and friendly worms, and that is where a lot of Page 236 of 353

time, energy, and attention goes into the process. If you don’t know the DNA lineage of your worm then you don’t know what you have. Unfortunately, we get a lot of calls from people in that situation. Hookworms and Anxiety Beyond everything that using therapeutic hookworms has done

This uneasiness affected all parts of my life at a low level. It was not

major enough to even complain about, but it was constantly there. It was not until my hookworms that calmness became the strongest voice in my head. Since my rst hookworm application, my brain and body calmed down. This has only gotten better during the ve years I have had my hookworm

Page 237 fi

for my physical health, it is the profound sense of wellbeing that has impacted me and my life the most. Prior to worms and in spite of any usual or natural I had done, I still found that most of the time I was in restlessness or unease.

friends living with me. When Eating Your Food Reactions is Good Another fantastic aspect of the antifragile nature of hookworm approach is the ability to consume food reactions that previously needed to be avoided. As some of you will know we have a very advanced and successful reaction testing in our life. Over Page 238 of 353

ten years, we have many quite a few of hidden food reaction panels, and the panels have been very successful in resolving complaints in persons. The only problem is that when you know your food reactions you have to avoid them. This was the best option we had at one point in life. But eliminating foods was never the ideal solution for eliminating reaction complaints.

There were always things that I did not like about the food reaction removal. To avoid food reactions created a stress and a state of “illness” itself. Interestingly, native people with worm infections have much higher antibodies to the environment. That means they have higher IgE, IgA and IgG antibodies. And they have less reaction complaints, no chronic inflammation, and no abnormal cell growth.

This is because hookworms are able to provide biochemical gatekeeper actions and provide control on the reactivity to the reactions. Now we have a bigger army but a more powerful general who is in charge. The number of soldiers equals the number of antibodies that we may make to a food. Before worms the only way we could control the

Page 239

reaction was to control the number of soldiers. By using hookworms, we put a new general in charge of when to declare war on a food.

creating a chronic and inflammatory reaction to foods. A different perspective on the immune system.

Hookworms have been well trained on how to determine which proteins to react to and they are experts in making that decision. That fine line between reaction and lack of reaction is the difference between tolerating foods and

Page 240 of 353

The body has no way of really telling self from non-self. And of course the consequences of making a mistake between allowing a bug to be misidenti ed as part of your own body

would be devastating. Some people believe the body is using a different approach in defending itself then the classic self/nonself. They argue that the body is not trying to determine self from non-self, but rather to look for in ammation that could signal in invader.

When the body sees in ammation then it then makes antibodies designated attack everything in the in ammation war zone. The idea of this approach was that eventually you would kill whatever bacteria was a problem and the in ammation would stop.

Page 241

Yes- you would damage your own body also but that could be xed once the threat was over. This view of the immune system has always made more sense to me. The bad part of your/ my immune system is if your body gets triggered for in ammation too easily,

Page 242 of 353

Then you are constantly at war and constantly ghting your own body... this is chronic in ammation.

Training your worms The way that I think about consuming your food reactions after you have worms is the same way that I think about lifting weights. You don't squat 500 pounds the rst day.

So the rst three months that you have hookworms is like learning to walk. After that time we can start doing exercises to make the worms more responsive and stronger.

This is like adding a little weight each day and getting stronger and stronger. The hookworms will get better at sensing in ammation and responding to it with their antiin ammatory signals. Intestinal

The way you train your hookworms is to start exposing your body to the reactions very gently.

inflammation Large intestine inflammation and small intestine inflammation are obviously perfect candidates for

Page 243

hookworm approach. Primarily, because hookworms increase the mucus protection of the intestinal lining. Large and small intestine inflammation are something I have a lot of experience. Everyone is my family has some type of severe digestive disorder. Research in intestinal inflammation tends to blame gut bacteria... And yet the bacteria are constantly being Page 244 of 353

changed in our gut, yet the symptoms remain. This is because the intestine without hookworms is like an open wound. Any bacteria has the possibility of becoming a pathogen in that situation. The best option is to protect the gut with hookworms. The bacteria is not the issue. Every bacteria that can become pathologic and inflammatory in the wrong environment is

an intestine without hookworms.

is the way that that they get acquired in nature.

In short the issues we have with our intestines and stomach are simply the result of bacteria affected by a deficiency of hookworms and the control that the hookworm signals provide.

In ancient cultures the children would get worms as soon as their feet would get on the ground. It would be when the mother was working with the crops fertilized by night soil aka human manure.

Hookworm application The worms are applied to the skin because that

Fertilizing soil makes a tremendous difference for the yield of grains. We are talking about several times increase in yield of crops. Just the recorded history of Page 245

grains is twenty-five thousand years. And that is the recorded history of farming. The unrecorded history may go back much farther. Thousands of years is a long time. If that does not seem like a long

time just remember that all of the differences that we see in dog are based on ten thousand years of selective breeding. All of the difference between a great dane and chihuahua are only due to ten thousand years of selecting for traits. In the years of our human existence some of us had genes that became dependent on hookworms as something like an antiinflammatory organ.

Page 246 of 353

The hookworms also got selected for their best traits to support humans. They required a part of their life cycle in the soil to properly grow and they were constantly reintroduced by the crop fertilization process. So for quite a few of years the reintroduction cycle of the hookworm was continued. With people benefitting from hookworms and hookworms benefitting from people.

Mammals Have Hookworms Sometimes people wonder if we are doing an experiment by using hookworms. What I try to explain to them that the experiment is in killing off the hookworm population in humans. Every mammal has a hookworm population. Every primate has a hookworm population. Every Page 247

human being had a hookworm population until a few generations ago. During this time nature selected the most healing hookworms since a healthy human host assured more eggs and more hookworms.

How do you apply and what is the worm journey The worms are microscopic when they are applied. You can’t see anything in the small vial the worms come in. There is some water and a small pipet to apply the worms to a small bandaid. When the hookworms are on the skin they build a small keratin tube to work their way into the skin. This

Page 248 of 353

creates a little itching, but this should not be suppressed because this itching and the scratching that accompanies it is part of the immune system resetting. I encourage light scratching. If it ever gets uncomfortable then we have some tricks to calm that down without decreasing the effectiveness of the the approach.

Experience in dosing is the key to success We have found it to both most effective and most comfortable to use one worm per week. At least up to 20 worms. This is where experience in using hookworms is so helpful. Because we have worked with so many people with hookworms we have a lot of insights as far as when and how to rePage 249

dose for the best outcome. Once the worms enter the body they are moved by the blood through the circulation until they touch the lung. Once on the lung, they stick and are moved by the sucking pressure of the lungs on the other side. Once they are inside they are moved up the lung by the little hairs on the inside of the lung. Once at the top of the windpipe they hit the Page 250 of 353

little flip-flop at the top of the lung and the food pipe. It is so interesting to see that the flip-flop epiglottis is basically perfectly designed to transfer the hookworms from the wind pipe to the food pipe and down into the stomach. The worms travel through to the stomach, survive the stomach acid, and go into the small intestine. They are able to live in one small six inch section of the small

intestine. There are three parts of the small intestine. This is the part between the first and second part. They stick there and they wait for the right time to start feeding. A hookworm takes onetenth of a drop of blood per day. And then they get to work reorganizing your microflora. In other words they change your bacteria in your gut into something that makes them more comfortable.

The Hookworm High One very interesting part of the hookworm experience is the hookworm high. This is an amazing experience that I wish everyone could have. I remember when I first put the worms on my skin all of my stress dissolved like a fog lifting from around me. I was still aware of the various challenges in my life. But I could not generate a stress response to those Page 251

issues. This was the first time I could recall since being a child that I felt no stress. This decrease in stress was a sign that inflammatory chemicals had decreased in my body and in my brain. Along with this decrease in stress was an amazing spike in my energy. I went to clean my back room that had not been organized in years. I did the entire reorganization process in one night. Page 252 of 353

It was amazingly easy to decide what needed to go and what needed to stay. I got rid of eight large garbage bags of supplies and supplements that I no longer wanted. I cut the amount of shelving space in half and got rid of the shelves I didn't need. I made my storage room manageable, sane, and pleasant. I had been needing to do this for ten years!

Then I decided it was time to change the color of my office...I never painted because I have never had the extra energy. But I painted and then I realized I needed a new desk. And it went like that from that point forward. All of the things that I wanted to do but never had the extra energy now seemed very doable. This has continued at various levels since I took my first

application of hookworms. Everyone gets some version of the hookworm high. I would like everyone to have the profound effect that I had but that is not the effect that everyone . Everyone gets the right effect for them and for what the hookworm wants to do to start balancing the body out.

Page 253

Worms want low inflammation They are most comfortable when your inflammation is low. So when you have hookworms inside of you, you have little helpers that work hard to monitor your system for inflammation and to release chemicals to decrease that inflammation. Some people think just of the digestive tract when they think of worms but the complaints can be anywhere in the Page 254 of 353

body. I have seen many people with chronic joint and muscle problems have their condition resolved with hookworms. My family is obviously in the category that will never be resolved without hookworms. All of my siblings have chronic inflammation. And even with all of my natural tools it was a constant effort to keep the complaints from returning. Since

they have all been since my family has been doing hookworm helminthic therapy, I don’t hear the occasional complaints that I used to hear. Hookworms make things work Also I have noticed in myself, my family and people that didn’t work in the past now work in situations. I used to use homeopathic for myself and it would not work in the way that is worked with other

people. There is no point in trying to tune a car that only has three tires. So much of homeopathy and herbs is fine tuning...that for people with Viking immune systems is like fiddling while Rome burns. This was most certainly a lot of the times that I spent trying to resolve my own complaints with natural.. I still find my old natural tools valuable. Page 255

In fact I find out for myself that now the natural things I take actually work better. The way I describe it to persons is that doing some of these natural approaches with the highly chronic inflammation and inflammatory persons I see is like washing the windows on a car that has three tires. It is the same thing with trying to change chronic inflammation through diet.

Page 256 of 353

Living in the bubble Managing conditions with diet requires so much micromanagement. So we can try different strategies to perfectly manage this car with three tires, or we can put the fourth tire on. Hookworms are the fourth tire on the car for people that are chronically in ammatory and chronic in ammation.

One of my persons described this as living in the bubble. She was a beautiful lady that had come to me after being treated for an abnormal cell growth / lump in her breast. She received testing for hidden food reactions and of course several of the foods were off the chart with high reactions.

I have never seen an abnormal cell growth person that did not have a hidden food reaction, that is one of the reasons we get abnormal cell growth after all. However she had become so concerned about her exposure that it had really limited her chance to enjoy parts of her life. After being on her hookworms for a bit she was Page 257

I always knew that I did not want to restrict people's lives in any way, being healthy should be about increased freedom, not increased restriction. And yet eating your food reactions if you

nally able after several years to be more exible with her diet. She was amazed at the freedom she started feeling.

have had abnormal cell growth is not a good idea either, abnormal cell growth de nitely does not lead to more freedom. The hookworms change all that because they create that barrier that requires something more than the antibody and protein link to get to the in ammation stage.

Hookworms Prevent Abnormal cell growth One thing we do know about abnormal cell growth and the immune system is that white blood cells are our body's defense system. Our body makes a white blood cell called eosinophils. We also know that the chance of getting abnormal cell growth or of abnormal cell growth returning decreases the more eosinophils you have.

Again, more eosinophils equals less abnormal cell growth. Hookworms raise the eosinophil levels. Hookworms raise the white blood cell that protects you from abnormal cell growth. The great thing is that this approach can be used with all of all conventional medicines.

Quicker Improvements Many of the situations I now get to see seems to resolve like layers of a cake. We might see an emotion like anxiety or depression first improve, and then an old injury, and then we see chronic inflammation complaints start resolving, and then we can see an environment in food reactions. I know for myself at some point to manage Page 260 of 353

my inflammation I needed to avoid the following foods: gluten, egg, dairy, nightshades, salicylates, fructose, and an ever increasing sensitivity to nuts. This highly restrictive diet life style was was very lame, disappointing, depressing and defeating. At some point I just could not live like this anymore. This morning after three years on worms I

had a breakfast of egg and cheese omelet with toast buttered with jelly. Then orange juice and coffee with delicious milk. This combination of food is actually known as food. I like food. I don’t like "not food". There is no reason to be reactive to to any food, how can that be a normal function? Why would we be reactive to anything in the environment, including pollen, bacteria, and molds?

The healthy immune system is tolerant of all but the most extreme attacks on our system. Any attack on a protein we should be tolerating distracts our immune system from the job that is should be doing to watch our system for real problems. Hookworms teach our body to chill out and stop attacking random proteins and ourselves. I am so happy to have energy again and to be able to do the things Page 261

that I want to do. Most days I work out hard twice per day. And it is rare that I miss a day but even more importantly for me it is rare that I want to miss a day. I have not felt this good working out since I was fifteen years old, and what is great for me especially is that the ability to have a muscle pump that was missing for decades when I was inflammatory.

Page 262 of 353

Hookworms help hormone balance Studies have shown that the biggest gorilla in the troop has both the most worms and the highest levels of testosterone. It seems as if the presence of hookworms has an effect on the endocrine and hormonal systems of the body such that it allows a higher level of testosterone in the system. We don’t know why the worms do this we

can only guess that having a higher level of worms and therefore a higher hormone level was an advantage at some point. Most people that I have seen tell me that their sex drive has increased after worms… so I have to guess that everyone using the hookworms have hormone levels that are going up or most everyone however. I know that many people have told me their sex drive increased with

hookworms and I have experienced that also. If you don’t have hookworms you may be surprised to know that the biggest concern that people express with their hookworms is not having them but the fear of killing them off. I do not think that you need to be concerned about that. Apparently us and gorillas share similar hookworms. Their worms can live in us and our worms can live Page 263

in them. Gorillas eat bamboo shoots that produce cyanide in the gut, toxin for humans…and even that does not kill hookworms. I have experimented on my family with many substances that are supposed to kill worms and none of it does. This includes herbs like wormwood which you think would have an effect. With worms you see white blood cells called Page 264 of 353

eosinophils. This is the anti-abnormal cell growth white blood cell which is another advantage of worms. However I have experimented with all of the worm killers and my eosinophils stay nice and high. If we do want to kill them off the worm drug abendazole works very quickly (we make good poisons) and the first capsule 99% of the worms are not alive and the next capsule 99.99%, etc.

How to support the worm process More interestingly there are people that want to know what to do to support their hookworms. To them I say: listen to your worms. The worms are going to start making course corrections in your health, and the more you can pay attention to them and follow the directions the more directly progress with

come. As the system remodels to a healthier balance there can be some bumps along the way.

In life when people ask me what they need to do in order to help the hookworms get rid of all their complaints I just tell them that all they need to do is to keep treading water. They can keep treading water while the hookworm drains the ocean of complaints Page 265

that surround them. No matter how big the ocean just keep treading water and it will drain. The highest rate of both abnormal cell growth and chronic inflammation occur in first world countries with no worms. The highest rates of colon abnormal cell growth is in Norway which is a country where Viking people do not have worms.

Page 266 of 353

The highest rate of all these illnesses are in Viking, Anglo people that do not have the immunological shock absorber provided by hookworms, and it’s only hookworms in some people that can restore their immune system to the normal function that they may never have had before in their entire life. Hookworms are alive! They want to live and survive and pass on their genes to their offspring. They can

feel, perceive and change for their own survival. If they sense you reacting to something inflammatory they can release more antiinflammatories or they can release less if you don't need it. They are the shock absorber that your body has been craving. An alive symbiotic organism is an amazing gift. It is the gift of anti-fragility. This means when you take

them you become stronger and better able to manage all kinds of challenges and stresses. This does not just include food stresses but mental, emotional and physical stresses of all types. Rose's experience with hormone balance Sorry I couldn't make it shorter. Words just have to gather together sometimes. Here's just an update about my experience Page 267

with Hookworms over the past 4 months This July 2020, as almost every summer for the past 4 years, I threw my back out with the simple wrong move of sitting on the oor. For thirteen years, after I gave birth to my son, my lower back has never quite been the same. I resorted to getting a prednisone shot

Page 268 of 353

along with pills for the week, once a year, when the pain just got unbearable. It happened again this year. I was pretty much stuck to my sofa and a heating pad for over a week, feeling crippled, defeated and in pain. I called my friend who I’ve seen for the shot and prednisone, hoping to get some relief. The secretary said the earliest I

could see him was September 21. It was July and I could barely walk. I had kept in the back of mind the testimonials of those who had experienced helminthic approach, the emails I remained subscribed to from Steve’s of ce, as well as the January 2020 talk that I attended. Helminthic approach seemed very

interesting and natural to me. I knew it was a matter of time until I approached it. As soon as I hung up the phone, I knew it was time to call Steve, and he answered the phone on the rst ring since he saw it was me. I was a bit emotional and in a lot of pain. He remembered my situation from 10

Page 269

years ago and we agreed it was time to start helminthic approach. I was the “car with 3 wheels”. The next Sunday, I came in for my rst helminth. Within a day, I was walking upright. Three days later, we had a family trip upstate New York, and I was very concerned I would not be able to even

Page 270 of 353

manage walking on the terrain being so uneven, steep at times and just physically demanding. So subtly, as if my pain, and inability to walk upright was not even part of my experience for the past 13 years, I was walking around, with pep in my step, riding throughout the trails, getting up from a seated position without feeling the

pain in my lower back pinching me to a hunched posture. It was a bit perplexing how this tiny thing made such a profound (but not obnoxious, looking for attention) impact almost immediately. I say “not obnoxious” because while the pain was taking so much of my mental and physical attention from me,

what also occurred and has been improving drastically for the past 4 months, are my periods. I didn’t notice this at rst because it was just part of my life, and the back pain was taking center stage. Since I was 11, there was always a day or two with unrelenting bleeding, clotting and pain that would keep me home from school, and in my

Page 271

adult life, being a teacher in front of a class of students, feeling like my life was hemorrhaging from me, embarrassed of leakage. I would have to leave during lunch at times, change and layer clothing and sanitary napkins to deal with the issue, hoping not to embarrass myself in front of my

Page 272 of 353

students or coworkers. So, the Sunday I came in for my rst helminth was the same week I was going upstate with my family, which happened to be the same week of my menstrual cycle. I did not have that day of overwhelming bleeding. I thought maybe it was just a coincidence. I waited for the next month.

It’s been 4 months, and I have not experienced that intense, uncontrollable clotting and bleeding as I had all my life. There have been other changes, again, so subtle but deep, that are giving me a clearer view of things in my personal life. Some of the other changes I’ve noticed,

is being able to start and delve into home improvement projects that were labor intensive but also an expression of my creativity and love, wanting to beautify a space for my son in particular, and family (this is still in progress, actual progress). Personally, I see that I can and need to ful ll my long anticipated goals and

Page 273

purposes, con dent that I will physically be able to endure it without burning out. I’ve been tending to things that I’ve put off for many years and feel more accountability towards myself and others. There is simply a sobriety about the entire process that I am experiencing which is lovely. My

Page 274 of 353

mental space is more organized. I am sure there is more that the hookworms are doing that I will catch on to when I am in a moment that in the past was one way, and now maybe slightly different, to accommodate a healthier me. I am thankful and humbled by the work they do. To be continued...

Rose Enhanced intestinal absorption of nutrients. Because the protective layer of the small intestine is so important for absorption, hookworms can pay a major role in people that can't absorb nutrients. This has been especially true in people that have had problems absorbing

iron. Some anemic people that even required transfusions in the past were able to reach normal iron levels. Most diseases are deficiency diseases, including hookworm deficiency. For many hundreds of years people wondered about the cause of scurvy. Finally it was proven that the vitamin C in limes prevents the disease. Page 275

Many diseases have proven over time to be deficiency disease. I remember talking to a patient that came from India. All of the water in town came from mineral rich well water. She said to me that of the all of the residents of the town drank from highly mineralized well water. She also told me that no one in this town had

Page 276 of 353

every had a single cavity. So just as scurvy was a result of vitamin C deficiency, and cavities are a result of mineral deficiency, many of the inflammatory diseases are a result of hookworm deficiency. Bone building and other issues of aging. Many of the degenerative conditions associated with aging are due to high levels of cortisol.

Cortisol is a stress hormone, and without hookworms some of us have cortisol levels that stay high. High levels of cortisol block growth hormone and testosterone. This is a recipe for degenerative bone disease. Hookworms can help correct these problems.

Chronic Stress and Hookworms More and more health conditions are being linked to chronic stress. Chronic stress syndrome can be triggered bypass a long series of stresses or by an acute stress incident or period of stress. However the fundamental problem is that the body gets locked in a state of producing hormones associated with stress, Page 277

cortisol, and adrenaline. This is like keeping the accelerator of your care pushed to the floor on maximum all the time. Just like this would be destructive for your car; Chronic stress is destructive for your body. Hookworms, because they are trying to optimize the condition of your body for themselves, have an amazing ability to rebalance these stress hormones. I would not Page 278 of 353

think of trying to help Chronic stress without hookworms. When the body is in a chronic state of stress the hormone cortisol will be high. This blocks the body's use of both growth hormone and testosterone. In other words chronic stress prevents healing.

Hookworm is the mother worm I call hookworm the mother worm. Hookworms determine our reactions to all other worms, bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms. Even if we were to use another worm like whip worms for large intestine inflammation it is always best to start with hookworms. Hookworms can release chemicals signals that increase or

decrease the inflammatory response to different microbes depending on the bodies reaction to the them or how the hookworms want the body to react. Obey the worm and healing will be quicker. The most important thing to know is the the number one rule of getting better on hookworms is to

Page 279

listen to the hookworms. We don't know exactly what signals they will give but everyone is different. It may be an increase in sleep. It may be a craving or aversion to a food. It may be a change in thirst. A desire or aversion to exercise. After the worms if someone gets a craving even for their Page 280 of 353

food reactions then I am willing to consider letting them have it. This because at some point the cravings are being created by the worms. The worms are doing this to rearrange the bacteria in the intestines and they are asking for the food to encourage or inhibit the growth or

one or more of the bacteria. Fear of hurting the worms I try and encourage people not to worry about accidentally killing their worms. Like any other field where the data is scarce and subjective a lot of misinformation can proliferate. Remember that we share the same hookworms as gorillas.

Now gorillas can eat a handful of bamboo bark that would literally kill us. The bark releases cyanide as it breaks down. So since this toxin does not kill the hookworms in the gorilla a fairly safe general statement is that if the substance does not kill you it is not likely to kill your hookworms. Interestingly that often becomes the biggest fear even for those people that were most Page 281

hesitant to start in the first place. People start feeling so good that they don't want to do anything to interfere with the process. Luckily hookworms can live for decades. Supporting your body in the health transition to worms. Your mom should have had worms while you were in the womb. This would have taught your Page 282 of 353

body tolerance to the environment. And then you should have had your hookworms very young, certainly by six months old. We know this didn't happen, so your body did not learn to tolerate the environment. So when the wrong bacteria, virus, job, teacher, wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, injury, pregnancy, implant, transplant or other stressor came along, you developed

an uncontrolled, unrelenting inflammatory response called chronic inflammation, abnormal cell growth, or some other name. Now your body had to be re-educated to not respond to every stressor with chronic inflammation. I understand that hookworms are a new concept for some people, they were new to me once. I imagine that this is similar to

the way probiotics or beneficial bacteria was viewed when it first began to catch on as a way to help those people that had complaints after using antibiotics. Your body controls the dosage of worms. No matter how many worms are given it is the body that controls the amount of worms that we have eventually. Studies have shown Page 283

that each person has a set point for the amount of worms they have. When researchers added more worms to their subjects with worms the amount within a few months returned to the level that they had previously. The hookworm journey Hookworms are applied to a one by two inch bandage and placed in the top of the Page 284 of 353

left foot. They travel through the circulation to the lungs, where they stick and work their way to the inside. Behind in the skin they leave little tubes that itch. With that itch the worms are already reprograming the immune system. They are distracting the immune system from attacking its own body. For some of us this is the first time every in our adult lives that we stop attacking ourselves.

The cilia or hair of the lungs gently carries the hookworms up the top of the trachea or wind pipe. From there the worms stick to the epiglottis or flip flop that protects our lungs when we eat food. The epiglottis carries the worms to the food pipe or esophagus. The worms travel down to where they live, which is one small six inch section in the small intestine that has the

ideal environment for them. Worm journey day to day. 1.The first day or two we expect an itchy rash. 2.Days 3-5 then the worms get to the lungs. 3.The next two weeks the worm travel down the gastrointestinal tract. 4.From weeks three to six the worms will send out a bunch of decoys to distract the immune system. Page 285

There could be some complaints at this point that are easily controlled. 5.These complaints settle down from week seven to twelve. 6.From that point on we observe the body and the worms and see what is needed. However we expect continued progress.

the best worm for helminthic approach. There are many qualities that we look for in a good hookworm. We want a worm that can't reproduce in the body, and that does not create annoying complaints, and that can't be passed on to anyone else.

Qualities of a good

And not to be forgotten among all of these concerns we want a worm that is

going to help resolve our chronic in ammation. In my experience hookworms meet all of these standards. At least the worms that we have tested and know exactly what we are getting.

chronic parasites?

Using drugs with these normal viral and bacterial residents of our body is not only ineffective but put our health at risk.

Everyone has many different bacteria, viruses and parasites that they are exposed to throughout their life.

There is a different way to support these problems. Keep in mind that a lot of the

What if I have other

Page 287

stress that is created by these bugs is because our bodies are constantly attacking them. It is this battle created by our own body that is most of the problem. This is because our immune system is lacking the regulation provided by the mother worm, hookworms aka wormy. When mice were studied it was found that their inflammatory reaction to new Page 288 of 353

parasites was much reduced when they also had the mouse hookworm. If we step back and look at mother nature this makes sense. The body most at risk is the unbalanced body. Another way of thinking about it is that your body wants to get everything. This way it can pick and choose how to react to any situation.

When they studied people that had malaria they found that people that had hookworms had a much better health outcomes than those people without hookworms.

about what worms can do for us. Other effective and ineffective worm approaches

The body in this situation was able to regulate the inflammatory response to malaria because it had hookworms.

There are some people that promote a type of helminthic therapy know variously as: hymenolepis diminuta, cysticercoids, or rat tapeworm, or angel worm.

This is a lot different from the impression that most of us have

Having tried this I found that the worm designed for our body Page 289

(hookworms) was less inflammatory and gave results at a more profound level. Matching up the right host species with the right worm is the best way to get a good effect. I like human hookworms for humans. I feel there is something more predictable in the response and the progress in the situations where symbiotic species are used rather than Page 290 of 353

transient gut pathogens. However, I am glad that we have the options to choose. Whipworms on the other hand can be very helpful. If we think of hookworms living in the small intestine, then whipworms are the normal resident of the large intestine. We always want the mother worm (hookworms) in place first. After that point the addition of whipworms can create an additional

anti-inflammatory action in the body. Obviously this has the chance to have a most profound action on the colon.

second phase of worm therapy. Whipworms, for the colon, we only use after hookworms. Remember hookworms are the mother worm. Monkeys in captivity get large intestine

The protective mucus production increased and diminished the bacteria attached to the colon wall.

Page 291

When hookworms are added to whipworms then the antiinflammatory effect is ten times larger. Hookworms live in the small intestines and control inflammation there. Whipworms live in the large intestine and control inflammation there. The two worms, working together, have a profound antiinflammatory effect on Page 292 of 353

the entire human organism. More Technical Stuff One way to think of the body is just as the manifestation of a series of signals. Everything the body outputs is one kind of signal to another part of the body. Some signals from the immune system are called cytokines. We know from research that hookworms

decrease cytokine interferon gamma. Questions and Answers If we are thinking about the long term effects we need to look to nature. Every animal has a hookworm population, and every primate, and every human-being up to a few generations ago. How are human-beings doing without

hookworms? The rate of chronic inflammation and abnormal cell growth has skyrocketed the last few generations. When monkey’s in the zoo get intestinal inflammation they give them worms. One example is the rate of colon abnormal cell growth in Norway is the highest in the world. How does this make sense in a first world country with modern healthcare? Page 293

It only make sense if we recognize that it is the uncontrolled inflammation caused by the absence of hookworms in the human ecosystem. Remember these organisms are symbiotic. They are only successful if we are successful. These worms have been selectively bred by your ancestors to fit your body.

Page 294 of 353

This is one of the reasons making sure that you are using the right worm through DNA testing is so important. We only want the poodle worm. That is to say we want the most domesticated worm, the worm that works best with our body. There are two scenarios that we know have bad consequences for the future. The first is the long term use of pharmaceutical drugs. The second is

uncontrolled inflammation. Since hookworms address both of these risk factors, and because we see such improvement clinically, I have to conclude that we are changing the course of health for the better in the future. When people who are on this approach come in ...and tell me how much better they feel, they can’t believe how long they lived without it (my feelings also)

than I know that we have changed the course of health in the future for the better. :) More Letters I am getting a lot of letters so I am going to add a few here.

Hookworms. I had to think about this. So before I left the of ce I said let’s do it. I had my rst application Dec 6 2018. I have never felt so good. I can't thank Steve enough. It's just wonderful.

About me (Steve) At 21 years old I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. My symptom included needing to go to the bathroom frequently, sometimes a few times per hour and this would be day and night. It was rare I would get an hour of sleep straight without having to wake up. Things kept getting worse in spite of tons of the usual drugs and

Page 297

all of the horrible side effects.

jeopardy within 6 months.

Finally I went to a specialist that I thought could help. After a brief exam he sat down across from me.

In retrospect, I am appreciative of his directness. He made me realize that I was at a dead end with conventional medicine.

He told me that he would eliminate my colitis by cutting out my colon and putting me on drugs for life. If I did not do this then he thought I would continue to get worse and my life would be in

Page 298 of 353

I tried some diet changes, homeopathy and herbs and stopped getting worse with a lot of effort. I even went to school for these things but was no better when I finished than the four years previous when I started.

After I graduated I began to see some people and try and help them. What happened was that we began to teach each other. It just happened...that because people come to me with their illness and problems that I have had many, many teachers. It was tough to start to practice and help others, I was still exhausted from my

own complaints. After seeing people, often I would have to lance my own fistula to relieve the pressure because it would fill with blood. I would do this with a razor blade and go back and keep working with people. Like I said, it was tough. But eventually me and the people that came to me for help, began to teach each other. My best education has been the people I have seen. They began to teach Page 299

me how to get inflammation down. What I learned along the way allowed me to manage my complaints, but it was constant effort to control inflammation in my body. It took me 20 years of learning everything I could about managing inflammation to meet the most profound healer I had ever met. His name is "wormy the hookworm" and he Page 300 of 353

did not just help me manage my complaints he gave me my life back. I had always dreamed of reclaiming a true state of health. But of course I wondered if I would even find my answer. Since introducing hookworms into my body I now enjoy my life in a way that 10 years ago would have seemed completely unrealistic.

Ten years ago my body would get extremely tight and painful if I tried to do any kind of workout. It could be anywhere from the knee, to the shoulder, to severe neck pains. The neck pains would keep me up at night and many nights I couldn't sleep. But I loved working out. It was always one of my greatest pleasures but my body's reaction too all of the fun out of it.

Then five years ago I took hookworms. The day after the worms I woke up completely awake at 6am. It was just like a light switch went on. I went from asleep to awake with none of the usual grogginess. I woke up with a strong urge to get to the gym. That was about 5 years ago now and I go to the gym twice per day since then and I have only missed about ten days.

Page 301

I literally felt better from the moment the worms hit my skin. I even made a note to myself that in spite of any obstacles with the therapy that I should continue to use the hookworms and not give up. Anything that could naturally make me feel that good had to be a gift not to be dismissed. I followed my own instruction to myself and continually worked Page 302 of 353

to fine-tune the use of hookworms...and what you just read summarizes that experience. :) I feel no pain in my workouts now and at 58 I feel like I am doing the best workouts I have ever done. I have definitely set my maximum of lifting records this year. It is amazing to feel my body heal and recover so quickly. My brain and body are free of anxiety.

I even wrote wormy a letter ~ Dear Wormy, ~ I want to thank you so much for how you have changed my life. I wanted to fully participate in life. But I was always at different level of discomfort in my body and mind. All of the stress that I had to different situations, stayed with me and colored all the situations of my life.

Wormy lets me enjoy my workouts again. For years it took a week of recovery for every workout.

Colored them with the stress that they didn't need. Inflammation was constantly between me and my desire to experience the moment. You gave me a view of the world without the fog of inflammation blocking the view. It's a beautiful world. Stephanie's years of multiple diagnosis. No friend or dermatologist ever could figure out what Page 304 of 353

was wrong with me. At age 12 I began seeing severe breakouts on my body. At age 14, two months after my first menstrual cycle, I was hospitalized with a hemorrhage. At age 16 I was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis and the assessment of mental disorders began. Over the years & into my twenties, I was diagnosed with psoriasis, chronic sinusitis, chronic fatigue, manic depression, anxiety,

adjustment disorder, bipolar disorder, and all other types of mood disorders. My blood work results always came up “normal”... so needless to say I was very confused. Deep down I knew something was unresolved… At age 24, a friend of mine highly recommended Steve and I went to the office with severe cystic acne as my presenting problem. We did the food reaction testing,

and after removing my reactions. I saw tremendous improvement, better than I had ever seen in my entire life. After some time, although my skin was clearing up, fatigue and mental illness began to spiral out of control for me. I felt numb, desensitized, fearful. Simply put, I was losing my will to live. At age 26, after two years of Steve suggesting hookworm approach for me, I Page 305

decided to stop being stubborn and trust. To say that was the best decision of my life is an understatement. I’ve gone through, and continue to go through, profound physical and mental shifts with this approach. Since my first application in August 2018, I haven’t had *one* sinus infection (I was having 5-8 per year prior), no seasonal reactions, no stuffy nose, no psoriasis, no cold, no flu, no Page 306 of 353

mosquito bites, no desire to engage in toxic, stressful, draining relationships and situations...The mental cages in which I confined myself to have been completely eradicated. Every day I learn more and more about myself and take steps toward fulfilling my life purpose. I have more energy, drive, and motivation then I have ever had in 27 years. In my physical life I am landing poses and

dance moves that I never thought I would have the strength and agility to execute. Hookworm approach is like the electrical current which runs through my body to illuminate all working parts that have been sleeping...just waiting to be lit... An ancient symbiotic relationship between human and helminth, awakened to facilitate the healing of those who have the courage to walk this path.

It’s been 16 months since I began hookworm approach with Steve and I could sit here and write a novel about how this approach gave me my life back. The reality of the situation is just that - I have my life back. No more suffering. I can’t possibly give all the credit to the worms. Steve is hands down the most caring, gracious, intuitive, intelligent healer I have ever been blessed to cross paths with. He is Page 307

a real person-and understanding… kind and never judgmental. He is fully committed to his life.

world is a better place because you are in it !

He refused to give up on me, even when I gave up on myself time and time again. I am forever grateful to have a true healer like Steve in my life.

As I re ect on my life during this special time of year Thanksgiving, I count Steve as one of my most prized blessings of this year!

Steve- Thank you for everything you do, I know you will continue to move mountains for myself and others who are suffering. The

My story revolves around the great imitator also known as Tick borne bacteria.

At the time I met Steve and Abby I suffered with every symptom Tick borne bacteria has to offer. The constant headaches increased by sunlight and the slightest noise to extreme fatigue, neuropathy, muscle aches and joint pain to name a few. I had already tried 2 different antibiotics for 6 weeks. A visit with a Neurologist had me scheduled

for a spinal tap and the threat of a PIC line and daily IV antibiotics for one month. I knew there had to be a better way. It was my family friend who referred me to Steve. As a nurse I did my research so I knew he would offer me helminth approach. The worms (my friends as I call them) were started on my

Page 309

I was diagnosed with Tick borne bacteria 8 months ago. I was extremely discouraged as nothing was taking away the pain. I could barely put one foot in front of the other. At this point only 2 months into my worming I have over 20 “friends”.

very rst visit when I ew out to see him.

My progress is just amazing. The headaches are gone! I’m exercising again and walking 2 miles a day and continue to teach yoga. All without additional antibiotics! My experience with the this process has been smooth. When I met Steve in Phoenix he explained starts out slowly with only one worm at a time. My friends are placed on a Band-

Aid which is left on for 3 hours. I feel a slight pinching feeling that’s it. I intend to nish up with 40 worms. (after all they are so small!) I should also include that Steve has been very supportive with my emotional ups and downs. Steve thinks about the whole body not just the concerns. His years of messing around with this stuff provides his friends

with a wide array of options. I’m so happy and thankful to have my life back. If you are contemplating this approach and are hesitating, I say why wait? Do yourself and family a favor and jump in! You won’t be sorry. So, Steve thank you so very much for

thinking out side of the box! Dan's chronic injuries. Over the years I had visited an assortment of providers as I sought to find out why I was constantly in distress. Specifically, a different muscle would be sore as if I'd injured it every month or two. I play basketball, tennis and weight train and I'm in good shape. Yet, I'd be standing on the Page 312 of 353

tennis court and my right calf would be sore and I'd be out for three weeks. Soon after, my oblique would pull and I'd miss more time. One morning I woke up and could barely walk because my hip was sore and I hadn't injured it. By the next day I was on crutches and three days later I was absolutely fine as if nothing had happened. This went on for a few years.

I had tennis/golf elbow in both arms and over the years sought approaches (chiropractic, acupuncture, cupping, massage, supplements etc) so that I could play without having to take anti-inflammatory and ice my elbow. A joint specialist did extensive blood testing on me and with the exception of gluten reaction, I came back as "the picture of health" except that I was miserable. My

assessment? Fibromyalgia... pain that they can't explain. I've known that I've been reaction to gluten since I was in my teens. Every time I ate a bagel, pasta or any wheat product I would cough continuously. By my forties I was a regular user of Tums and by 50 the Tums no longer worked because acid reflux had compromised the lining of my esophagus and I found out that I had Barrett's Esophagus. Page 313

My friend put me on the drug protonix, but that pill bloated me so much that I felt as if I had a rubber tire around my midsection. So I stopped eating gluten and I cut down on the pills from once a day to half a pill twice a week. But then the "muscle pulls" began and people began to suspect that I have something chronic inflammation that they just can't identify.

Page 314 of 353

A friend suggested I visit Steve and he had me do an IGG assessment, which revealed that I was reaction to gluten... And dairy and eggs and nuts and pork and citrus and pineapple! All things that I enjoy. Steve suggested that I was a prime candidate for Hookworm Approach and explained in detail why this approach would work for someone reacting like me (as it had for the 150 persons for the past three

years). "I AM NOT A RISK TAKER" I told him, but I'm very disciplined and I proceeded to be vigilant about not eating any of the foods I shouldn't have. That worked! No muscle pulls! But, my elbow was still a mess, even after two cortisone shots and I was not fun at mealtime. It became, "What can I eat?" at every meal with my wife, children or friends. I felt like a food leper.

I read Steve's book, twice, and then attended the January seminar and listened to the testimonials. I emailed and texted him question after question as I tried to become comfortable with putting worms in my body. I asked him if anyone had ever asked him this many Hookworm questions and he politely replied with a smiley face, "no". I read about Helminthic Page 315

Approach online. I spoke to persons in his waiting room. But, what really sealed it for me was his commitment to this approach and his devotion to getting me better. As I visited his office or spoke with him, I learned to trust him more and more and began with 5 worms in March eventually getting 20. I texted him during the process and he always responded promptly

Page 316 of 353

and guided me where necessary. In June I began to introduce gluten. I had my first slice of REAL pizza in a decade (NOT GF pizza, which with all due respect to Frischetta and other GF pizza producers, is not real pizza) and I noticed two things. #1-PIZZA IS DELICIOUS!!! #2- I had ZERO complaints.

In the past, eating bread and tomato sauce and cheese was a disaster for me. Massive acid reflux. But I ate the slice and I waited for the discomfort that night and the next morning. Nothing. No complaints! I began to see how far I could go even though Steve told me to go slow. Eight months later, I've learned that I can tolerate reasonable amounts of reactive foods without an issue.

If I go overboard, I'll feel some abdominal discomfort, but never any reflux. I've had 14 slices of pizza since June and even two in one lunch without any complaints. While I won't give up GF pasta and GF bagels because I've found some excellent brands, I don't worry about sauces, soy sauce, flour used to coat chicken, chicken stock with gluten, cheese etc. I no

Page 317

longer have to micromanage my meals. Also, last years endoscopy revealed that my Barrett's Esophagus had cleared up! Not only was my digestion improving after three months of Hookworm Approach, but my tennis elbow went away! I began to lift weights in the gym that I hadn't done in 20 years and am now able to do pulling exercises like lat pull downs and rows. Page 318 of 353

At 61, I did five pull ups recently! I hadn't even been able to grip the bar in years! But it isn't just the healing of my arm that was causing the increased strength. My weight on the vertical leg press went up 25 pounds and then 50 pounds per set! I did so well that the owner of the gym and his trainer went to Steve for Hookworms!! Before I decided to introduce hookworms I had a few friends that

were very concerned. One is a friend who warned me that I would lose weight. Others simply thought I was crazy and were worried about how I would kill the worms when it didn't work. Now we have meals together and they can't believe it. Needless to say, I am a big fan of Steve. He has changed my life and I truly feel like he cares for my well being

...and that I'm not just another person who gets a few minutes of his time until the next one comes in. I know you'll have the same experience.
