The difference between medicine and poison is the dose. The worms were not dangerous at the dose being studied, as indicated by the fact people got healthier over a 2 year period.
sure but idk living parasites seem like part of an equation id rather remove
wanna go back to leech treatments? maybe tapeworms too to loose some weight?
it just seems to volatile
Leeches are still used, and are very effective in some cases. It’s ok to be grossed out by medicine. That doesn’t mean it’s outdated or shouldn’t exist.
it has nothing to do with a gross factor parasites like these are called that for a reason and there was especially a reason it was used hundreds of years ago and only picked back up a couple of decades ago
you maybe comfortable attaching a living predatory parasite on your body but that is something i wont ever call medicine
