Hooked on Gut Health: The Truth About Autoimmune Disease and How to Heal

What if the key to modern health isn't another new drug, but a return to an ancient alliance we have almost completely lost?

For most of human history, our bodies lived in constant symbiosis with helminths—tiny intestinal worms that shaped our immune systems and kept inflammation in check. In our modern, sanitized world, these old allies have vanished, paving the way for an explosion of allergies, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory disorders.

In this book, Jane Puckey explores the science and real-life stories behind helminthic therapy—the deliberate and controlled reintroduction of these misunderstood organisms to restore balance to our immune system.

What you will discover in this book:

The science of symbiosis: How the disappearance of our ancient biological partners has profoundly disrupted our immune systems

Practical solutions: Protocols, clinical research, and an insider's look at a cutting-edge therapy

Inspiring stories: Journeys to remission for numerous chronic diseases often considered "incurable"

The author’s personal story: Her own recovery from systemic sclerosis and myositis after eight years of immunosuppressive treatments

The book covers a very wide range of conditions, from autoimmune diseases to neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as inflammatory, allergic, and cardiometabolic conditions (a complete list is available at the end of the description).

Blending scientific rigor with deeply moving personal accounts, this accessible and often surprising book challenges our assumptions about what it takes to be truly healthy. It demonstrates that our well-being is inseparable from our ability to live in harmony with the invisible world within us—and that this path is within everyone's reach.

An essential read for anyone affected by a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory, allergic, metabolic, or neuropsychiatric condition—or for anyone supporting a loved one in search of answers.
