“We have recently conducted a clinical trial at the Princess Alexandra Hospital where we reintroduced the human hookworm, Necator americanus, back into otherwise healthy individuals with coeliac disease.”
“There is a body of evidence emerging from around the world suggesting there may be a relationship between the recent upsurge in autoimmune diseases such as coeliac disease, and our current levels of cleanliness and sanitation – ie.the ‘hygiene hypothesis’.”
