The Hookworm Solution: Treating Helminth Deficiency for Better Health

Dedication

To Alanna, who inspired this book, and my sons, Sterling and Quinn, whose love drove my search for autoimmune disease causes.

Why Hookworms

My son was diagnosed at 17 with primary biliary cholangitis, a severe autoimmune liver disease. As a naturopathic doctor with 20 years of experience, I tried all available treatments—none worked well. His liver tests showed severe inflammation. After giving him hookworms, his liver normalized within months and has stayed normal for four years. This book explains why hookworms help autoimmune conditions.

The Only “Alive” Approach

Hookworms are symbiotic, thriving only if you’re healthy. Unlike parasites, they benefit the host. They reduce inflammation, which disrupts their egg production, by releasing precise anti-inflammatory signals, like a perfectly dosed prednisone without side effects.

Why I Wrote This Booklet

My family all have autoimmune diseases. Conventional and alternative treatments offered limited relief with side effects. Only hookworms significantly improved our health. I wrote this to share their story.

Julie’s Joint Pain Resolution

Diagnosed with thyroid and joint inflammation, I found pills ineffective with harsh side effects. My doctor supported trying hookworms. After applying them, I felt instant relief. Most days, I’m pain-free, back to the gym, yoga, and Pilates, with energy for 10-hour work shifts. My husband loves having his “old wife” back.

Acne and Inflammation

Acne reflects internal inflammation. Hookworms reduce visible and internal inflammation, as shown in our online book’s acne improvement pages.

Kathy’s Thyroid

I started hookworms in 2019, skeptical after 30 years of hypothyroidism and food reactions. By June 2019, my TSH was 0.75, and I stopped thyroid medicine. Two years later, my TSH was 1.2—perfect. My food allergies vanished. I’m grateful for this life-changing approach.

Roseanne’s Tick Symptoms

In 2014, I was diagnosed with tick-borne bacteria, causing joint pain, fatigue, and mast cell issues. Antibiotics and diets helped little. After 1.5 years, I tried hookworms. Within a week, symptoms improved; in a month, they were gone. I can eat red meat again.

Choosing the Right Worm

Hookworms must be DNA-identified. NA457 is beneficial, unlike harmful species. Choosing the wrong worm is like getting a wolf instead of a dog. We ensure the right species for success.

When to Consider Hookworms

Use hookworms for relapsing autoimmune conditions that don’t fully respond to drugs or herbs.

Joshua’s Gut Inflammation

Diagnosed at 15 with small intestine inflammation, I tried everything without lasting relief. Hookworms changed my life in months—no stomach issues, weight loss, and gym strength. I’m medication-free and thriving.

Kate’s Son

My son, diagnosed with gut inflammation at eight, gained dietary freedom with hookworms. Now a college freshman, he eats normally and lives fully. We’re grateful for this breakthrough.

David’s Gout

After 15 years of gout attacks and kidney-damaging drugs, hookworms eliminated my joint pain in eight weeks.

Dietary Anxiety Syndrome

Avoiding foods for inflammation causes stress, worsening digestion. Hookworms allow normal eating by fixing gut imbalances.

Jack’s Skin Inflammation

My son Jack had eczema from 10 months. Steroids failed. Hookworms cleared his skin, improved speech, motor skills, and social engagement. He sleeps through the night.

Alex’s Injury

A pro tennis player, I suffered a groin pull and quad injury. Hookworms healed both in weeks, restored my energy, and improved sleep and mood.

My Son’s Inflammation

My son’s severe reaction to mono caused liver and pancreas issues. Hookworms were the only treatment that reduced his inflammation, improving his labs.

The Empire State vs. The Pancake

Immune systems vary: “pancake” ones recover easily; “Empire State” ones, like my family’s, need hookworms to manage severe inflammation.

Hookworms and Transplants

Hookworms prevent organ transplant rejection in studies, suggesting they can calm autoimmune attacks on our own organs.

Healthy Vikings with Worms

Vikings, despite poor hygiene, were healthy with high hookworm populations. Their absence today may drive modern inflammation.

My Self-Experimentation

Before giving my son hookworms, I tried them. Stress vanished, and I briefly experienced super hearing. I felt inflammation-free for the first time in 30 years.

My Improvements

Hookworms helped me sleep early, wake energized, and exercise without stiffness. I’ve worked out regularly since.

Hookworms’ Effects

Hookworms release precise anti-inflammatory chemicals, aligning their health with yours. All mammals had them until recently.

Choosing the Right Worm

We select condition-specific NA457 hookworms for optimal results, like choosing the right pet breed.

Killing Hookworms Causes Inflammation

Removing hookworms leads to uncontrolled inflammation, like COPD or autoimmune diseases, especially in those with Viking genes.

How to Take Hookworms

Applied to skin, hookworms settle in the small intestine, growing to half an inch. They thrive if you’re healthy, co-evolved with humans for millions of years.

Hookworms in Nature

Children naturally get hookworms from mothers around six months. This prevents inflammation, unlike today’s Viking descendants.

Ancient Vikings

Persian historians described Vikings as healthy despite filthy habits, likely due to hookworms strengthening their immune systems.

Why We’re Inflammatory

Without hookworms, aggressive immune systems cause chronic inflammation, unlike our healthy ancestors.

Humans and Worms

Ancient humans always had worms, part of our ecosystem. Hookworms are happy to restore this balance.

Hookworms as Teachers

Hookworms “teach” your body how to heal, guiding it toward balance.

Re-Dosing Benefits

Re-dosing hookworms triggers healing surges, relieving minor pains and boosting recovery.

How to Know If They Die

If inflammation returns, your hookworms may have died. We then restore the dose.

Autoimmune and Genetics

Autoimmune diseases are genetic, highest in Nordic descendants. Hookworms counter these aggressive immune systems.

Calming Effect

Hookworms release precise anti-inflammatory chemicals, organize gut bacteria, and reduce immune stress, calming the body.

Eosinophils and Abnormal Growth

Hookworms raise eosinophils, which reject abnormal cell growth, potentially lowering cancer risk.

Brain Inflammation

Hookworms may reduce brain inflammation, like amyloid plaques, linked to Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Developmental Delay

Hookworms could moderate autism-related inflammation, inspired by a case where chiggers temporarily improved a boy’s symptoms.

Gut Protection

Hookworms increase gut mucus, preventing food protein reactions and reducing immune stress.

Downsides of Elimination Diets

Avoiding foods causes cravings, isolation, and deficiencies. Hookworms allow normal eating by fixing gut reactions.

Hookworms as Symbiotic

Hookworms work for mutual benefit, unlike parasites. They rely on your health, releasing precise anti-inflammatory chemicals.

Getting the Right Worms

We use DNA-identified NA457 hookworms, avoiding harmful species for safe, effective results.

Individual Reactions

Responses vary: some feel emotional calm first, others physical healing.

Worm Stages

1. Early: Emotional balance.

2. Middle: Physical repair.

3. Later: Total body balance.

Anxiety Elimination

Hookworms reduce anxiety by lowering inflammation signals, creating profound calm without drugs.

Vikings and Inflammation

Viking lung inflammation, once balanced by worms, now causes issues without them. Hookworms restore control.

Hookworm Changes

Let hookworms work in the background. They strengthen your immune system over time.

Where Worms Work

Hookworms address inflammation systematically, balancing the body over time.

Re-Dosing

Individualized re-dosing, from monthly to daily, optimizes outcomes based on personal needs.
