How to cure your asthma or hayfever using hookworm - a practical guide:

Based upon what I read, and what I learned about the hookworm I decided that I was going to try and infest myself with hookworm in an attempt to cure my asthma. I was not willing to wait ten or more years for the drug companies to bring a drug to market. It was obvious to me that hookworm, for a healthy adult with a good diet, are quite benign. This account details my experiences, how I went about it, and the things I have done since infestation to calibrate my level of infestation so that in the end I was able to cure my asthma and hay fever with hookworm. These same techniques are of course applicable to any hookworm infestation, whether you want to control asthma, hay fever, colitis, Crohn's disease or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Amazing. Talk about thinking outside the box. Having had a couple (isolated) bouts with not being able to breathe, I do not envy asthma sufferers. If I couldn't breathe, I'd consider it. The guy even teaches a course.
