i have a family member or two that suffer from crohn’s disease, so i’ll have to ask them if they’ll be trying out the
“diet of worms” therapy. some might think the cure is as bad as the disease, but the results seem impressive:

“In many of the volunteers the symptoms of IBD, such as abdominal pain, bleeding and diarrhoea, disappeared. The remission rate was 50 per cent for ulcerative colitis and 70 per cent for Crohn’s, says gastroenterologist Joel Weinstock of the University of Iowa, who devised the treatment.”
