Pig Whipworm Ovamed Ulcerative Colitis?

Question

My 13 year old son has suffered from Ulcerative Colitis since the age of nine. I consider myself highly educated and have never been intellectually challanged on alternative medicine since his diagnosis; since now! The German based Company Biocure (Ovamed) has recently been approved to develope a drink to deliver a dose of pig whipworm into the intestines of humans. They last three weeks until the next dose is needed. How the CCFA Foundation is not jumping at this is beyond me. No recent studies? No pharmacuetical interest? Years until FDA Approval? So many suffering and a realistic scientific natural approach available? Anyone with information on doseage for a 13 year old 85 pound male and how I can get my hands on this for this child. Thank you.

Sorry, the FDA hasn't approved it yet.....

Answer 2

IBD is rarely seen in countries of the world that suffer from poor hygiene and where worms are endemic. Also, pig whipworm, Trichuris suis, stimulates the immune system in such a way that can actually treat IBD. The eggs that are given are not known to be harmful to humans and have been shown to successfully treat ulcerative colitis mainly, but also Crohn's disease. If you would like to be considered for this treatment, your doctor will need to refer you to a medical center where these studies are being conducted. Good luck

I don't go into details,but I had ulcerative Colitis for over 15 years,until I found a Doc. in Vancouver/Canada . He told me it is a nerve related sickness, and I had to learn over years, not to eat all my worries and things what bothered me inside me. So I would tell you , take your son to a good specialist and see what he has to say. Dont give up. Applesauce is the best lots of it everyday and everyday.No spicy food. Also write your request in the "German Yahoo Answer" . Try to write ot the Schering Pharmacy in Berlin,look it up in the Internet.I got rid of my Colitis and it was bad,one of the Doc. even told me I need a bag and I only was a young women then too. No no never give up and good Luck.
