This is very interesting to read SuzyM2. I have RA but have so far failed to tolerate three disease modifying drugs so I'm really interested in finding alternative ways to keep the disease and other symptoms (possible Vasculitis) at bay. I really hope this worm research does lead to something less toxic than other options I've tried to date. Thanks, Twitchy

Can you send me more details of this please Susy- there is a way of sending 'email' addresses, I know because I have a couple already.

I hope you don't mind me asking this, sorry if you do (I'll 'shut up'!)

Look forward to hearing from you
