Hello Michelle

Many thanks for your fascinating worm blog. I'm thinking of getting some worms myself. I suffer from multiple food allergies but I should really say food intolerances because what I have doesn't require an epi-pen. It just makes me feel lousy, a lot of brain fag. I also acquired a diagnosis of ME/CFS along the way. My question is whether you think that this treatment is suited to food intolerances/ME as opposed to classic allergic and auto-immune diseases like asthma, Crohn's, UC, MS and the like. I appreciate you're not a doctor and may not feel qualified to answer in which case no problem. If you know anyone else who might know.... Many thanks, Gerry Rowe

Hey Gerry,

What I can say about my own experience is that my problems with food seem to be both intolerance and classic allergic reactions. They were also much more obviously allergic reactions the more I encountered a food. I didn’t have an Epipen until last January even though I’ve felt like crap and been generally sick since the 1988 or so.

If I were in a position of being generally sick and didn’t really have many good options, I would try the worms all over again for sure. They do make things worse for a couple months, but then it’s a slow climb to feeling a lot, lot better.

I’m sorry you’re so sick. I hope you get to feeling better somehow, very soon!
