==Medical support== Helminthic therapy is currently not approved for use by doctors anywhere in the world, so few doctors are willing to condone it, fearing the loss of their license if they do. As a result of this, the therapy has been developed by patients who treat themselves. In 2015, the number of individuals worldwide who were self-treating with helminths was estimated at between 6,000 and 7,000. * [http://www.yourwildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/galley-proof-v2.pdf Overcoming Evolutionary Mismatch by Self-Treatment with Helminths: Current Practices and Experience] In the vast majority of cases where patients are self-treating, their doctors are willing to continue to provide them with routine medical care while the patient arranges for, and pursues, helminthic therapy independently. * [http://helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/index.php/Introduction_to_helminthic_therapy#Working_with_a_doctor Helminthic therapy: Working with a doctor] There are several health professionals with extensive experience of helminthic therapy who offer one-to-one educational consultations about the therapy. This service may be valuable to anyone wanting to understand if and how helminthic therapy self-treatment might be of value in improving their health. * [https://helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/index.php/Helminthic_therapy_practitioners Helminthic therapy practitioners]
