Can worms help your health?
This article in GRPL's Health Database Collection caught my eye:
A diet of worms could keep MS at bay New Scientist 193.2587 (Jan 20, 2007): p8(1).
I've also been reading a very interesting book: Infection: The Uninvited Universe by Gerald Callahan, 2006. This book mentioned infections as a helpful condition too. What's going on here? Pig worms are helping Crohn's patients and parasitic infestations are dampening down MS? It sounds very surprising, but I gather that Callahan and the Institute for Neurological Research in Buenos Aires both hypothesize that after evolving with parasites for eons, the human body's immune system has adopted ways of dealing with them that minimize autoimmune malfunction.
The great thing about our health databases is that you can print an article from them and take it right to the doctor's office with you. Health Reference Center Academic has over 3 million articles and is updated daily. So if you want to read more about some of the latest medical research GRPL makes it easy to do!
