are there any studies showing the effect of ingesting pig whipworms on eczema and asthma as opposed to more life-threatending allergic problems.

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.

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.

Living With Eczema

Ask Dr. Manny: My granddaughter has severe eczema. Is there any new treatment or product she can try to help ease the pain?

Got Itchy Body Parts? - Then Watch Me!

Let me show you how to stop any itch in 10 seconds using a hot hair dryer! Just aim the heat until you really need to say ouch! It's the one second of pain that switches off the itch nerve signals. Pain is a higher priority nerve warning signal to the brain than a mere itch is. The momentary pain signal instantly over-rides the itch signal, and when you turn the hairdryer off the pain stops and the itch has been neutralized. ************************************ Also see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr7SYGQ1cs8 ******************************* -Stops itching from flea bites -Stops itching from mosquito bites -Stops itching from chigger bites -Stops itching from all insect bites -Stops itching from skin allergies -Stops itching from poison ivy -Stops itching from poison oak -Stops itching from poison sumac Works on annoying insect bites like fleas, mosquitos, allergies to poison ivy and poison oak. It works ANYWHERE on your body against itching and scratching in sensitive areas like anal, breasts, nipples, vagina. This might even relieve the itch from eczema and dermatitis but I haven't had anyone try it yet. Please comment if it works on eczema, seborrhea or psoriasis.
