I may as well tell you straight off that this article is rated \u2018ss\u2019 for Strong Stomachs; if you don\u2019t have one, don\u2019t read it, otherwise everything in it is going to come back up. But considering that most of us probably eat and drink too much anyway, including those whose weight is already too much, maybe bringing some back up wouldn\u2019t be so bad, after all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting how they say \u2018once a man twice a child,\u2019 because what I\u2019ll be dealing with are topics that used to be treatments, at least some of them, hundreds and even thousands of years ago. But we all went into the era of turning up our noses at them and only wanted the most modern big country medicine. Now, we\u2019re back, because we are realizing again the benefits of these off the wall treatments and how they work. So here goes.<\/p>\n

LEECHES: GOOD FOR YOU<\/strong><\/p>\n

Medicinal leeches (Hirudo medicinalis) have regained respect. These small slimy, blood- sucking animals that live in fresh water had been used for thousands of years, sucking blood of people in the hope of curing numerous ailments. The practice was considered an alternative to bloodletting (draining blood) and amputation. Today leeches are still used worldwide to heal wounds and restore circulation in blocked blood vessels, veins in particular. In fact, they are classified as bona fide medical devices which have, in fact, been commercially bred and marketed for a century and a half in France and other places.<\/p>\n

ABOUT BLOODLETTING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before antibiotics were developed, draining blood from the body was like the prescription for scores of serious illness. It worked sometimes, but not always. Infections caused by the bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus \u2013 or Staph for short \u2013 can seriously affect the blood, bones and lungs, the latter causing pneumonia. In recent years some Staph strains have learned to resist virtually everything we throw at them. (By the way, Staph lives harmlessly on the skin and in the nose of most people).<\/p>\n

So, when our new \u2013 fanged antibiotics fail, time to call in the leeches.<\/p>\n

You see, Staph thrives on iron compounds, scavenging it from animals (and humans) it infects, and it needs the iron to grow during infection. It prefers the kind of iron found in the heme molecule (think of hemoglobin or Hb) in the red blood cells that carry oxygen.<\/p>\n

Bloodletting appears to starve Staph and slow its growth. Less blood, less heme, less Staph. Cool, huh? Of course, even in early days, only a small amount of blood would be drained; can\u2019t bleed a person to death. So even now, leeches are used in a controlled manner to drain enough blood to control infections and unblock veins.<\/p>\n

LIKE SOME MAGGOTS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maggots eat dead skin tissue, whether it\u2019s on an animal in the bush or a living human being. In the early 20th century, maggots were used to treat human bone and tissue infections.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Maggot Therapy. It involves larvae called Phaenica sericata. Larvae are the young forms. They are disinfected before use, so they won\u2019t make an infection worse. They are placed on a wound twice a week and left there for 48 to 72 hours. They only eat the dead tissue we call slough, leaving healthy tissue intact. The process is called debridement.<\/p>\n

The maggot larvae are thought to secret substances that fight infection.<\/p>\n

In what is called Maggot Debridement Therapy, maggots are used to help clean up wounds, deep wounds, before surgery. It is found that it significantly decreases infection post-surgery, as opposed to when they are not used. With maggots, wound closure does not fall apart. Some folks with chronic, dirty ulcers that don\u2019t seem to be getting anywhere with endless dressings may want to think about this and ask their surgeon about it. The only side effect is pain at the site, but this can easily be dealt with.<\/p>\n

CARE FOR SOME LIZARD SPIT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of us are either afraid of lizards or don\u2019t even notice that they are around \u2013 in large numbers too. But what if I told you that a certain lizard, one we call Gila monster, can be of great assistance to many of you who suffer from Diabetes, particularly Type II or Adult Onset Diabetes?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true, people. From the saliva of this lizard is developed a drug called Exenatide which not only prevents the weight gain common in Diabetes, but it also helps to preserve insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, thus keeping your blood sugar under control. It also helps the body feel full after a meal. Only drawback is that it is given by injection twice a day.<\/p>\n

HOW DOES THIS WORK?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the intestine of humans is a chemical called GLP-1, the role of which is to help preserve insulin producing cells naturally and to assist the body\u2019s tissues not to be resistant to insulin.<\/p>\n

This Exenatide is a synthetic GLP-1 manufactured from the saliva of the Gila monster lizard. There is also a tablet called LAF237 which is developed from it. It prevents the action of an enzyme which breaks down GPL-1. So the more GPL-1, the more insulin there is in your body and the better it works. GLP-1 drugs are now widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

Who would have imagined that the spit of a lizard would have medicinal use against an important disease like diabetes?<\/p>\n

WORM EGGS: YUM<\/strong><\/p>\n

The worms that we try so desperately to treat in our children, even when we\u2019re not sure they are there, have been around for 3 million years, and guess what? One third of the world\u2019s population are carrying them with no problem at all.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, they protect many of us in third world countries from developing certain diseases which are common in rich countries.<\/p>\n

These diseases are called auto- immune diseases.<\/p>\n

The immune system is that system in your body which fights against diseases, but sometimes it gets out of control and actually attacks the body to cause diseases.
\nAmong these are Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which include ulcerative colitis and Chron\u2019s disease which cause, among other things, ulcers in the intestines, pain, and bleeding.<\/p>\n

There is a worm called Trichuris suis, a whipworm found in the intestine of pigs (swine). It is called a whipworm because of the tail which can give you a serious lash. Just kidding, it\u2019s too small to do that.<\/p>\n

Taking a solution containing live worm eggs can help IBD. Not only that, but Lupus (SLE), Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Psoriasis. Of course, we\u2019re looking into some others.<\/p>\n

Now taking a solution containing thousands of eggs every two weeks will do wonders for IBD.<\/p>\n

Pig whipworm causes no adverse effects in humans, because it is not recognized as foreign.<\/p>\n

HOW DO THESE EGGS WORK?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quite simply, they secrete a substance that calms an overactive immune system. So auto- immune diseases are not manifested. Again, that is why many of these diseases are not known in many Third World Countries. Sanitation is poor, worms thrive, and they protect us. See? We always look for the worst in people and God\u2019s creatures, but He put them all here for reasons. We just don\u2019t always know those reasons.<\/p>\n

HAVE NUFF RESPECT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who would have thought that leeches, maggots, worms and lizards could be of such benefit to us humans? Next time you see or talk about these creatures of the Animal KINGDOM, do it with nuff respect and reverence.<\/p>\n

See you next week.<\/p>\n
