What if some of the organisms we've been taught to eradicate might actually play a role in regulating the human immune system?

Autumn is sitting down with Kyla of Let's Heal IBD to explore one of the most unconventional therapies we've discussed yet: helminthic therapy, the controlled introduction of specific intestinal worms.

After years of living with severe Crohn's disease, Kyla had endured chronic diarrhea, bleeding, extreme food intolerances, vomiting, multiple surgeries, abscesses, a fistula, and periods when simply eating became incredibly difficult.

She tried dietary changes, stress reduction, meditation, yoga, and other approaches, but says her health continued to deteriorate.

Then she discovered helminthic therapy.

Kyla shares why she decided to intentionally introduce specific species of intestinal worms into her body, what happened over the following months, and how she eventually reached clinical remission from Crohn's disease, according to her medical testing.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What helminthic therapy actually is
• Why not every organism classified as a "parasite" behaves the same way
• The proposed relationship between helminths and immune regulation
• How modern sanitation may have changed our exposure to intestinal worms
• Kyla's 13-year journey with Crohn's disease
• Her experience with surgeries, abscesses, fistulas, food intolerances, bleeding, and chronic digestive symptoms
• Why dietary changes alone did not resolve her Crohn's symptoms
• The specific helminths used therapeutically
• How helminths are introduced into the body
• Why Kyla believes modern humans may be missing an important piece of their ancestral gut ecosystem
