Are worms vital to human health?



Hookworm
The hookworm may help treat people with asthma
Could the humble worm hold the key to wiping out allergies and a whole lot of disorders of the immune system?
Researchers in Nottingham are investigating whether giving hook worms to asthma sufferers can cure their condition.
Another group in the US is trying a pig worm on patients with ulcerative colitis or inflammation of the colon and bowel.
And scientists in Cambridge have proved that giving an extract of the tropical worm which causes bilharzia to mice can stop them developing type 1 diabetes.
The theory behind all this is that worms and other organisms, through our evolutionary history, developed a role in driving our immune systems.
Professor Danny Altman, professor of immunity at Imperial College, said: "There is compelling evidence that something in our immune systems has changed since our ancestors, in fact has changed since our great grandparents.
"But what we're not saying is that this mechanism is the only reason we're seeing the rise in allergies."
Worms and immunity
The scientists, who have all written articles for the journal Immunology, said the key compound in question is found in worms, in mud and in the tiny organisms (flora) in our guts.
Professor Graham Rook, an expert of medical microbiology at University College London, said: "What we think is that the immune system has become dependent on signals from certain organisms."
He said a fascinating recent study had illustrated this.
Bacteria were introduced to a group of amoebae. The amoebae did not like the bacteria and tried to kill them - but could not.
And five years later neither organism could live without the other.
The amoebae had deleted certain genes in their own immune systems and the bacteria had done the same so they could coexist peacefully.
As a result, the amoebae no longer had a complete genome unless the bacteria were present.
Professor Rook said: "It now looks more and more likely that the development of our regulatory immune system depends on molecules that are encoded not in the genome of the human but in the genome of some other organism we lived with throughout history."

Girl sneezing
Hay fever and asthma are both disorders of the immune system
He said the hygiene hypothesis theory that our over clean environment was causing allergies was being constantly disproved. And there were now good reasons to think that a whole range of autoimmune disorders and even some cases of depression were a result of our diminished exposure to these bugs.
And it is not just humans; animals too can benefit.
Professor Rook described an experiment carried out by a veterinary company on dogs suffering from eczema.
The dogs had been forced to eat human food and drink bottled water by their owners.
A bacterium found in the mud surrounding cowsheds was given to them and the eczema disappeared.
He said instead of focusing on the hygiene hypothesis scientists would be better advised to examine this more recent theory - the "old friends" hypothesis.
Some worms 'good'
Professor Jan Bradley, a parasitologist from the University of Nottingham, said some worms could live in the human body for 15 to 20 years.
She said: "The question I've been asking is how does a worm modify the host so it can survive that long?
"If you dissect any free-living organism it has worms. It's full of them, in its blood, guts, everywhere.
"It is only in the last 50 years in Britain that humans have been free of worms. If, for instance, you look at the faeces of the Vikings you can find evidence of them having worms."
Professor Bradley said in the past we would have eaten our own sewage through contaminated water systems or spreading it on crops.
And even getting bitten a lot by insects would help to keep a healthy amount of worms in our system.
"We have evolved to have worms. Worms can have adverse consequences but maybe there's a positive side which we can exploit in new therapies for allergies."
Diabetes
Professor Anne Cooke, professor of immunology at the University of Cambridge, talked about the rise in type 1 diabetes cases.
She said type 1 had both genetic and environmental causes and it had been known for some time that certain infections could block the development of the condition.
"In the UK the number of cases is increasing by 4% a year, that's faster than can be accounted for by genetic changes."

INFLAMMATORY DISEASES THAT BUGS MAY HELP
Hay fever
Asthma
Inflammatory bowel disease
Neuroinflammatory diseases like Alzheimers
Clogged arteries
Some forms of depression
Some forms of cancer
She has looked at the tropical worm, Schistosoma mansoni, which carries a parasite which causes the illness bilharzia.
The worm can remain in the human body for up to 40 years.
During that time male and females mate and excrete eggs which come out in the faeces.
They hatch and infect water snails which eventually may reinfect the human.
So it is likely that there has been an adaptation between the parasite and its human host.
Professor Cooke said it had been shown that an infection with schistosoma mansoni could prevent the development of type 1 diabetes in mice.
But she said we were a long way off a treatment for humans.
"As we work out the genes that govern diseases, who an individual is is down to the organisms their ancestors were exposed to.
"Infection shapes the genetic endowment of the population.
"It will allow you to identify pathways of disease and allow you to modify them with small molecules, not the whole worm."
"Before I would even consider treating a child with type 1 diabetes I would have to be sure it was safe and understand the mechanisms underlying it.
"We are talking about using fractions not the whole parasite."

Eat Your Worms: The Upside Of Parasites


 human-whipworm-eggs

 For years evidence has been mounting that intestinal parasites can actually be a good thing for people with inflammatory bowel disease because certain parasitic worms seem to help the intestine heal.
Now scientists think they've found at least one reason why this is so, thanks to a man who has spent years treating his own bowel disease with worms. Years ago, that man placed a call to P'ng Loke, a parasitologist who was then working at the University of California, San Francisco.
"He had moved into the Bay Area and basically was looking for someone who works on worms, and so he called me and convinced me to have lunch with him," Loke recalls.
Over lunch, the man told Loke a remarkable story about how he'd recovered from ulcerative colitis, a bowel disease in which the immune system appears to attack the lining of the colon, causing devastating ulcers. And for this man, Loke says, the usual treatments, including steroids, hadn't helped.
"So he was being faced with the options of really severe immune suppressants or a colectomy," the removal of his colon, Loke says.
But this man was a young entrepreneur with his own ideas. He'd run across the work of scientist Joel Weinstock who is now at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. Weinstock had done something that seemed bizarre: He had started using parasitic worms to treat people with ulcerative colitis.
Radiolab
Could parasites be the shadowy hands that pull the strings of life? Radiolab uncovers a world full of parasites and explores nature's moochers, with tales of lethargic farmers, zombie cockroaches and even mind-controlled humans (kinda, maybe). And we examine claims that some parasites may actually be good for you.
"So people would swallow microscopic eggs, and the eggs then hatch within the GI tract, and that living agent that comes out is capable to interact with the host's immune system," Weinstock says.
Weinstock thought these parasites might help because in places where they are common, inflammatory bowel disease is rare. His hunch turned out to be correct: The people in his study got better.
Worms A Key Factor In Healing
Loke says that was good enough for the entrepreneur in San Francisco, who started looking for his own source of parasitic worm eggs.
"He managed to find a parasitologist in Thailand who was willing to help him obtain these eggs, and then he infected himself," Loke says.
And he too got better and was feeling fine by the time he had lunch with Loke. But he wanted scientists to figure out why the cure had worked. So he offered to let researchers study his intestine over the next few years.
During that time, the worms began to die off and the man's disease came back. So he took another dose of worm eggs and got better again. Through it all, Loke and his colleagues were collecting blood and tissue samples from the man.

"What we found was that after worm infection, the regions of the colon that were previously not making mucus, were now making mucus again," he says.
That's a key factor in healing, and it looked like the mucus came back because the worms were causing the body to produce a substance called IL-22.
Weinstock says that makes sense.
"This is a molecule that promotes epithelial growth and healing and perhaps does other things to the immune system that would be potentially beneficial," he says. Weinstock says other studies suggest parasites can regulate the immune system in ways that prevent it from going wild and attacking healthy tissue, and he says it's likely that human evolution took that into account.
"Humans have had parasites ever since we evolved from living in caves or swinging from trees or however it used to be, and disrupting these relationships probably had consequences," he says.
Weinstock says drug companies are now trying to create parasites that would actually be approved by the FDA for treating inflammatory bowel disease. The research appears in the journal .

The amazing health benefits of kombucha


(NaturalNews) Kombucha is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) that forms a zoolgleal mat. This unique beverage has been used for over 2000 years to improve health and fight against infection and chronic disease. The Ancient Chinese called Kombucha the "Immortal Health Elixer" as they revered it for its remarkable health benefits.
Kombucha

Kombucha cultures typically contains many strains of beneficial yeasts that turn sugar into alcohol. One particular strain of bacteria, Gluconacetobacter xylinus ferments the alcohol from the yeast into acetic acid. This lowers the alcohol content in the Kombucha and increases the probiotic metabolite content.


The kombucha mother

The G. xylinum bacterium makes up most of the physical structure of the kombucha mother. The kombucha mother is basically a floating piece of fibrous cellulose with these beneficial microorganisms. The presence of the mother is a sign of an active and alive kombucha. No mother is a sign of pasteurization or processing.

The acidity of the finished kombucha product prevents contamination by airborne mold and bacterial spores. The bacteria and yeasts within the kombucha are also thought to produce antimicrobial defense molecules to protect from contamination as well.

Kombucha is loaded with unique nutrients

Kombucha is loaded with organic acids, active enzymes, amino acids and polyphenol anti-oxidants. The most common components include the various organic acids such as acetic acid, butyric acid, usnic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, gluconic acid and lactic acid. It also contains active enzymes and probiotics.

Kombucha is typically produced in a sweetened green, white or black tea. The best fermentation process uses an organic evaporated cane juice or honey although too much honey can disturb the stability of the culture. Most of the sugar will be remade into organic acids that blunt the blood sugar response so it is very low glycemic and non-inflammatory.

Improves joint function

Kombucha is rich in glucosamines which helps preserve cartilage structure and prevent joint degeneration. Glucosamines increase hyaluronic acid production within the joint which binds moisture thousands of times its weight in the joint cavity. This provides the joint with structure, moisture, lubrication and flexibility while protecting against free radical damage.

Improves digestion and immunity

Kombucha is loaded with probiotic bacteria and yeast that make their way into the gut and ward off parasites and pathogens. It is particularly good at minimizing Candida and improves digestion and nutrient assimilation. Kombucha enhances immunity by inoculating the gut with healthy microorganisms and providing anti-oxidants and enzymes.

Kombucha helps the body cleanse

This beverage is loaded with enzymes and organic acids that help to detoxify the body. This reduces the load on the pancreas, liver and kidneys and helps the body rid itself of unwanted wastes and destroy cancer cells. Kombucha is rich in glucaric acid which has potent anti-cancer activity.

Nobel Prize winning Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsyn credited drinking kombucha throughout the day, each and every day, helped him beat stomach cancer. This was during his time in the soviet labor camps. President Ronald Reagan was so moved by Solzhenitsyn's testimony that he used kombucha to help him stop the spread of his cancer in 1987.

Japanese Weight Loss Secrets

Photo Caption The Japanese diet is rich in fish, which contains a variety of nutrients. Photo Credit sushi image by berdoulat jerome from Fotolia.com
Japan has one of the lowest national rates of obesity in the world. Statistics published by NationMaster show that, as of 2005, the percentage of Japan's population with a body mass index (BMI) --- a measure of body fat based on height and weight--- greater than 30 was just 3.2%; the United States topped that 28-country list, with 30.6% of citizens reporting a BMI above 30. The Weight Loss Center credits this low rate to the Japanese approach to diet and exercise. The national diet is well balanced --- low in fat, high in carbohydrates, and rich in protein.

Staples

Fish and rice are staples of the Japanese diet. Each meal generally includes two fish courses, one served hot, the other cold. Fish is baked, grilled, served in soups, or eaten raw. According to the Weight Loss Center, Japanese consume far more fish than Americans, and eat less red meat. Fish is rich in many nutrients --- protein, vitamins A and D, and minerals like iron --- and is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Eating less red meat also reduces the risk of heart disease.

Rice is the main carbohydrate consumed in Japan, and is present at almost every meal. According to the Weight Loss Center, carbohydrates account for around 55% of Japan's total calorie intake. Japanese favor brown rice, which is higher in fiber than white rice. According to the International Life Sciences Institute Japan, rice tastes better with savory foods than with sugary foods, and since Japanese have a high intake of carbohydrates, they don't feel the need to have a high-sugar desert after meals.

Portion Size

Japanese consume a wide variety of foods, but in smaller quantities than Americans. Many Japanese foods, such as sushi, are bite-sized, which encourages diners to eat slowly and savor the food --- meaning they eat less during the same period of time, and are less tempted to wolf food down. Japanese also use smaller plates, creating the illusion of consuming more food than they actually have.

Exercise

Japanese incorporate exercise into their daily lives whenever they can. They tend to include exercise more in their lifestyles rather than working out at the gym, with walking and biking common as means of transportation. By walking to work or taking the stairs, they burn calories as part of their daily routine, a key step in fighting obesity.

Cooking Techniques

Japanese use broths to flavor food, instead of calorie-dense, heavy sauces, like cream sauce. Fish broth is fundamental to Japanese cuisine; other common broths use dried kelp, or dried shiitake mushrooms. A serving of broth-based soup at the start of a meal is filling, and diners thus consume fewer calories throughout the rest of the meal.
The Japanese use light cooking techniques to prepare food, such as steaming, stir-frying, and simmering. These methods preserve a food's nutrients and antioxidants, and reduces the number of fat calories.

Satiety

The Japanese stop eating before they are completely full, using a practice called "Hara hachi bunme." This, "National Geographic" notes, encourages people to stop eating when they are 80% full, then wait 20 to 30 minutes to determine if they are still hungry. The use of chopsticks also leads to slower eating. Since it takes approximately 20 minutes of eating for the satiety center in your brain's hypothalamus to register that your stomach is full, eating slowly means you will recognize you're full sooner, and thus eat less.
