Re: Article re autoimmune in NY Times

[Guest guest]

Nifty! I ran some searches on NY Times but couldn't find anything on this

subject that was dated 2010. Would love to see a link if you find it.

A few I did find:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/magazine/29wwln-essay-t.html?_r=1 & ref=magazine

(June

2008)

http://www.nytimes.com/1999/08/31/health/in-pursuit-of-autoimmune-worm-cure.html

(August

2009)

Interested to hear an update on how this sort of research is going if that's

what your friend read, Debbie!

Sorry, typo: that second article was 1999, not 2009.

I read up on this a bit earlier this spring.

Here are a few links

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/01/health/research/01prof.html

Jasper Lawrence is an allergy sufferer who tool his own treatment into his

own hands

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2009/07/22/are-hookworms-the-nex

t-claritin/

He was selling heminths in the US, but left the country because the FDA was

about to shut him down. US residents cannot legally buy his products, or

couldn¹t when I read the information legally, but he was in business in

Mexico at that point.

http://autoimmunetherapies.com/

His story is covered in Act III of a This American Life earlier this spring,

but they had run the same story a couple of years ago
