I just read an interesting article on ABC news (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/PainManagement/story?id=4454748&page=1) that the U.S. Food and Drug administration has agreed to conduct a small trial of the worm egg therapy next month on five patients. "There are already some hints that this potential remedy, which involves drinking the eggs of worms known as helminths, actually works. A recent study out of Argentina suggested that people already infected with this kind of worm experienced fewer symptoms of MS than those who were not infected." Although the treatment doesn't seem too appetizing, it would be great to MS sufferers who rely on heavy duty medications to control their disease.
