Over the last decade, I estimate I've spent around $ 25,000 - $ 50,000 on various strains of probiotics to fix my gut, including the time I took
pig whipworm eggs.
In a controlled clinical trial published in 2005 in Gastroenterology, Weinstock and his colleagues gave 52 participants with colitis 2,500
pig whipworm eggs or a placebo every two weeks for three months.
«We are talking about doing a small trial of, say, 10 people and basically doing colonoscopies on them before and after giving
them pig whipworm,» he says.
