Talk:Helminthic therapy research

Posting links

John, do we do post abstract only links? For instance, I don't see this on the page, but it's only an abstract. Helminth Therapy - From the Parasite Perspective. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31153721/

Laurel, that paper is already on the page:
* 2019 May 29 Helminth Therapy – From the Parasite Perspective
I'm not sure why it isn't coming up for you, but it can be something as simple as a punctuation mark, e.g., if you included the full stop when you searched the page, this would have prevented the link being found.

I always add abstract, full text and PDF links, if available, but, as I find most papers soon after publication, the full text and PDF links are not always available at that point, especially if embargoed by the publisher for a period of time, as is sometimes the case. I really need to go back through the research page periodically to check whether additional links have become available, and add these if they have, but this is one of those tasks that tends to fall through the cracks!

If you sign off here with four tildes (~) the software will conveniently convert these to your name, the time and the date!

Thanks, John. I appreciate this top because now I'll know to use just the main terms... Laurel (talk) 14:52, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

The reintroduction to the digestive tract of a controlled number of specially domesticated, mutualistic helminths (intestinal worms) in the form of microscopic eggs or larvae to reconstitute a depleted biome to treat or prevent chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease and other immune-related disorders, including allergy.

An organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits at the host’s expense. (The organisms used in helminthic therapy are, strictly speaking, not parasites, but mutualists, because they have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with their hosts.)
