So here’s a new one for most people I think. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at an early age and when I turned 40 I found a doctor who turned me on to helminths (hookworm) therapy and it changed my life. My stomach issues disappeared and I had a colony of symbiotic prednisone factories living I my gut. I went many years without symptoms of any kind but as a test I stopped taking them every three months and went a whole year and a half at which time all my stomach issues slowly came back. I started to take them again and my symptoms went away again. I can’t live without these little anti inflammatory buggers. My fear is that I will develop Covid symptoms, take ivermectin and wipe out my worm protectors. I would have to start from scratch building a colony again which is annoying. I think I would rather not use my ivermectin until I was desperate. Anyone else crazy like me, using hookworms to keep their intestines happy, worrying about using ivermectin? I think I’m the only one but I know from message boards the helminth community grows every day, I’m sure there are people worrying about this and weighing the choice. This is just to let you know that people with the predicament exist. Now go ahead and say “you put willingly put worms in your body? Yechhh!” But don’t knock it till you try it.

If you are good on vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Zinc with Quercitin I wouldn't fret too much.
We just over covid and I didn't really need the Ivermectin. I quit taking it early.... But I still took all the supplements... You should get it just in case but only take it if you really need it...
The helminth-friendly solution would be nebulizing hydrogen peroxide. Protocols here:

It's a redox solution, and because it goes to the bloodstream through the lungs, it avoids the gut-based biome.
Thanks for bringing it up. I've wondered about that too, although I'm not in your position of needing supplementation. But it's clear that some helminths do good. Do you have any resources for lurking among the helminth community? I have a cousin with Crohn's, and another relative with a different autoimmune disorder. Thanks.
The new variant will act like a vaccine. The vitamins & Qucertin should keep you good. But ever think maybe the ivermectin will cure you of what ails you without need for daily pills or ekk worms?? Deep dive anon. Nothing doctors ever do cure. Theres no bank in it. You just become a walking health subscription.
The hookworms might be competing against something else more pathogenic. Or maybe they ARE symbiotic.
I mean, you're in the rare, extremely low percentile of "I can't use IV bc my hookworms might die" group. If a doctor recommended you take these "little buggers" to help and essentially cure your Crohn's, I'd talk to him/her about it.
Our world is a weird place
Look up Z-Stack.
Quercetin, D3, Zinc, C.
Zelenko has some sold under his name, but it's around 55 bucks a bottle.
I found some on Amazon, same ingredients and dosages for 25 bucks a bottle. I'm poor so, even though I'd rather the good Dr. get the coin, I gotta go with what I can afford.
It's supposed to work much the same way as HCQ and zinc. Quercetin and D3 are the "gun" that opens up the virus to intrusion and zinc is the bullet that stops the virus reproduction, if I got those correct.
Some negative reviews but those were about sensitive stomach and nausea associated with taking the pills. Taking with meal is said to stop that.
Might give it a try to see if you can tolerate it before running into an emergency need. At least you'd know if it could be in your arsenal or not.
Have you read about quail eggs for Crohn's?
I had read that helminths may good therapy for lupus and other autoimmune stuff
Theory is that humans have lived with parasites for thousands of years and immune system overcompensates for that. So modern humans without the helminths sometimes have immune systems go overboard and thus autoimmune issues.
So use benadryl & lactoferrin https://www.foxnews.com/health/researchers-discover-milk-protein-combined-with-benadryl-may-be-helpful-at-fighting-covid-mutations
You are right about Ivermectin, but this would be true for HCQ, and Fenbendazole too. Any de-wormer is going to kill the parasites within you. This is why I don't believe using it as a frequent preventive medicine is a good idea.
Use HCQ
If someone I knew had this new "variant", I'd honestly run to catch it from them. It's literally just a cold now haha. Much better than our weekish of feeling like crap without ivermectin. 😆
My daughter suffers from Crohn's as well. Not diagnosed until her mid 30's. They have her on Humira (?). It works...ok she said. I've not heard of the "avenue" you have taken. My guess would be to try and have on hand the vitamins and other things that may be helpful. Getting over a bad case of flu myself and have used Vit.D3, Vit C, Zinc, and Quercetin. They all seemed to help, especially when I started taking the Quercetin.
