With almost 40% of Europeans now suffering from mental illness it’s interesting to speculate to what extent this might be related to the loss of helminths during the last century, especially in view of the experience of some of the members of the Yahoo Helminthic Therapy Forum, whose mental health issues have decreased following the introduction of a small number of helminths:
“My symptoms of anxiety continue to get gradually better.”

“… the hookworms… kicked in about 24 weeks after inoculation, which ended my 15 month nightmare with the anxiety.”

“I thought i am getting crazy… visited a psychologist … they even made a CT scan. But with the right diet and helminthic therapy… i am much more balanced now.
