Here is an interesting link to someone who "cured" themselves of asthma by infecting himself with hookworms.

I am not sure what pig whipworms are, but here are some more links that might be useful.

Search www.google.com for pig whipworm and you will get links to several studies.

Yes, that story is v.interesting, but not backed up with any medical info, also the story is dubious, because the author puts himself at a high risk of hepatitus infection by walking in faeces.
