I made myself the first joke because people always laughed at me or didn't believe me when I told them smoking was the reason why I did not have to carry nasal sprays and inhalers from spring to fall. There is a body of science to support it. I linked to both the article and to your site for that very reason, there is a body of science to support your experience along with an article I read in a medical journal many years ago. People will always laugh, squirm or say "Oh No" when they hear or read such things and that's why I wrote this using a funny tone. I almost wanted to get into leeches too but could not find the article unfortunately. Thanks again for clarification of the price. I meant to do this a while back.

Although at first glance, and probably the second and third, this appears to be lunacy it is not. It is founded on a great deal of science demonstrating clear benefits, safety and enormous cost savings. Nor did I go to Africa as casually as you suggest (and the authors of the original article got the price wrong, it is $2,900.00). Our site is completely referenced with scientific literature, it is impossible to dismiss this as quackery and charlatanism. For people like me, those suffering from asthma or allergies, MS, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, etc., this offers the best hope available for a cheap, effective and safe therapy. The science is there for you to read if you have an open mind. Jasper Lawrence Hi, I am the subject of the article you reference, Jasper Lawrence.

My mother cautioned us not to eat the dirt, particularly the red clay of Mississippi. Years later I stumbled upon an article while doing research for something entirely different and it mentioned geophagia -- a form of pica -- that was practiced in the south and urban Africa. In fact, dirt eating goes way back to Hippocrates who wrote about it. Geez, eating dirt brought back some memories of my youth. As for the worms, no thank you.

When my mum found out and asked her why, she said it was good for her. There is no way I would want to be infected with hookworms.
