to legalize the use of Helminthic Therapy in the United States for treatment of autoimmune disease.

There is compelling evidence that the rise of chronic inflammation and autoimmune illnesses including Crohn’s Disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, Type 1 Diabetes, food allergies and autism, in the sanitized Western industrialized world can be attributed in part to the eradication of helminths such as round worms and hook worms from the human ecology. Promising therapies using helminths are illegal in the United States and research in this area progresses slowly.
We petition the government to make helminthic therapy legal in the United States.
