TSO - helminthic therapy to reduce neuroinflammation and autoimmunity

May 31, 2009

I would like to know what Dr Goldberg knows about and thinks of a novel but

intriguing therapy called helminthic therapy as a means to reverse inflammation

and reduce autoimmunity. It has been studied for Chrons, RA, allergies, MS, and

2 trials in autism will be starting this year in the US.

There are now more and more children who have responded very favorably to TSO.

I know several. My son started TSO 7 weeks ago and the improvements we have

seen in him are simply remarkable. We have seen global improvements in mood,

happiness, desire for socailization, affection, independence, self reflection,

executive function, and language.

See www.autismtso.com and www.ovamed.org for some background. 's

son at age 16 was severly affected and lost all of his difficult behaviors as a

result of TSO. Judy Chinitz discussed helminthic therapy at Autism One in 2008

and her teenage son has made leaps and bounds progress as a result of helminthic

therapy. And there are more.

The idea of helminthic therapy seems to fit in with . I am hoping Dr

Goldberg might consider this and weigh in.

Thanks,

Beth
