Science? Pppfffftttttt
Well, BigPharma is a worm that tries to hook the unsuspecting.
So the analogy/metaphor works.
To: Sacajaweau
Personally it would be a little too unsettling knowing that there’s a big old worm in my gut

No way would I undergo deliberate introduction of a parasite.

With that therapy we’re just a couple of ticks and tapeworms short of a cure. What’s next, adding a couple leaches with a coupon?

Maggots are very effective at healing necrotic skin diseases. We have adapted along with these creatures and it makes sense there are benefits to certain parasites. We are all covered with mites, bacteria, yeast, and democrats. One of them serves no purpose but to destroy.

Years ago I had a prize Ewe that got her hoof torn off to the bone in a barn door mishap. The vet suggested a blow to the head with a spiked maul to put her down, but I noticed she was eating, drinking,and nursing her lambs, so I wrapped the bone stub in cling bandages and put her out under a tree with food and water. Her lambs could stay with her as she would succumb to sepsis. But she didn't.
After a few days I changed the bandages. Inside it was just boiling with maggots. The tissues were clean and pink. I put on new bandages and did so again in four more days. Still bowling with maggots, but now hoof tissue was growing on the bone. After a month the maggots were gone and she had a brand new hoof (a little crooked though). The maggots saved her life and limb.
She went on to have six sets of twins and two sets of triplets after the vet said to put her down. Amazing lesson in my book.

Hookworms are the perfect pet.
They go where you go. They eat what you eat.
To: Red Badger
Is that not the disease also known as “gay” bowel syndrome?

The vet was trying to do the most efficacious thing. Considering the work involved and uncertainty of result. You went ahead with brains, kindness, and faith. You and the mama sheep were correct. Sometimes ya’ gotta go with what works. Not an experts opinion.
