Treating Crohn's with worms

Ok this is totally new to me. Apparently there is a new treatment for Crohn's that introduces microscopic worms into the intestines. This is done through a doctor's office and can be taken as a liquid that contains worm eggs. Ummmmm yuck. But apparently it has had worked on some patients. When the worms attach to the lining of the intestines it produces an anti-inflammatory effect. Not currently available in the United States.
  This is NOT something you can do yourself and there are side effects. Click on the link below to read the article.
