William Parker and helminthic therapy

    From Helminthic Therapy wiki

    William Parker is a biophysicist who, until his retirement from Duke University in 2021, was director of one of the world's largest transplant research laboratories, a member of the Duke Global Health Institute and director of the pioneering Immune Dysfunction and Evolutionary Mismatch Laboratory. (Scroll down the linked page for details about the IDEML).

    Currently, Parker is visiting professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. He is now focussing more of his attention on the independent William Parker Lab and on working to eliminate what he refers to as the "paranoid immune function" that is widespread in high-income societies and causing shockingly high rates of allergy, autoimmunity, digestive diseases and inflammation-associated neuropsychiatric disorders. This visionary work may well be pivotal to the health of future generations.

    Parker also maintains a facebook page about his work.

    In 2013, Parker was interviewed by Donna Beales for the now defunct Helminthic Therapy Forum on Yahoo. This interview offers an insight into Parker’s vision and mission.

    The following article from 2015 features Parker's ideas and work. Its author, Rob Dunn, is a biologist in the Department of Applied Ecology at North Carolina State University.
