IMMUNOLOGICA provides effective solutions to autoimmune diseases, especially to:
- Asthma
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Crohn’s Disease
- Psoriasis
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Allergy
What all these diseases have in common is a distortion of the immunological behaviour of our bodies. The immune system, when disoriented, reacts in an exaggerated way or wrongly identifies parts of our own bodies as pathogenous agents.
The Hygiene Hypothesis claims that these types of diseases are due to an extremely hygienic environment during childhood. These unnatural conditions negatively affect the development of the immune system, which is then prone to autoimmune diseases.
Based on this theory, there is an important body of research that has analysed the role played by parasites in the degree of development of autoimmune diseases.
The treatment offered by IMMUNOLOGICA is based on such research and is known as Helminthic Therapy.
“Epidemiological, experimental, and clinical data sustain the idea that helminths could provide protection against IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease).”
Nathalie E. Ruyssers and Coll. University of Antwerp, Belgium
“In some not too distant futurity, there may come a day when we all take ‘helminth supplements’ along with our Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and whatever else goes to make up a modern balanced diet.”
P. ZACCONE et coll Department of Pathology, Cambridge University, UK
“Helminths can impede interleukin-12, interferon gamma, and tumor necrosis factor alpha release and promote interleukin-10, transforming growth factor beta, and regulatory T-cell production”.
Elliott, Summers, Weinstock, University of Iowa
“This new therapy may offer a unique, safe, and efficacious alternative for Crohn’s disease management.”
(Summers, Elliott, Thompson, Weinstock. James A Clifton Center for Digestive Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Iowa)
“Have an infection of the worm Necator americanus supress hay fever, an allergy to pollen”
(Miguel Rubio Godoy, Bristol University)
“Helminth and bacterial infection appears to inhibit type 1 diabetes by disrupting the pathways leading to the Th1-mediated destruction of insulin-producing beta cells”
(Raine & Cooke, University of Cambridge)
“Helminths diminish immune responsiveness in naturally colonised humans and reduce inflammation in experimental colitis”.
