Helminthic Therapy Available in Taiwan?

Question by Dreamer of Dreams: Helminthic Therapy Available in Taiwan?
I live in Taiwan as an English teacher with my wife. For the past several years, I have been living with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, and was recently counseled by a concerned 3rd party in the US (I am visiting here until March) to seek Helmenthic therapy (whipworm therapy) to try and help combat this autoimmune disorder. It supposedly has mixed results, and I am willing to go through the risks/cost of getting it. I just have no idea if they offer such a therapy in Taiwan where I live. If anyone could give me an answer, preferably with links/citation, I would be very appreciative. Thank you for your time!

Taiwan’s web sites do have the information about the study of Helminthic Therapy. But there is no info regarding any hospital provides the treatment.

According to the following post, in Taiwan there were 500 reported cases of Crohn’s disease in 2011. And there are government approved bio drug treatments:

And here is more reference of the treatment methods:

The article is from 2009, and is from Mackay Memorial Hospital. If you like, you could talk to this hospital. Here is web site in English language:
