Re: fatal error
Hey there, I hate to be argumentative, but must beg to differ. Enclosed is a post regarding a case history of a Taenia solium patient, in, of all places, the down under. After reading that article and possibly a few in the U.S. it becomes quite obvious to the casual obsever that this parasite, in particular, unlike some more exotics, is QUITE ubequitous, although perhaps much more rare in the more developed world as opposed to the underdeveloped, with even this being dependent on several factors, such as natural and geographical boundaries between those stated areas.

Without beating the carcass here, I'd like to simply add that as many others have appearantly pointed out, the symptoms of parasite infection/cleansing are overwhelmingly, similar to the onset symptoms of ALS. To put it simply, the 2 illnesses are not, by any means mutually exclusive, and I think the dynamics of this dialog should clearly carry on to their most logical conclusions.
With an open mind, I believe much can be gained in both arenas with closer examination of the issues and factors that are shared. There appears to be a misnomer regarding parasites. Make no mistake, we are living in THEIR world so any association with such a major issue as ALS, being however casually associated with parasites merely serves to underline the inequivacobility of it all. Soon, with issues such as these, we may begin to ask where one begins and the other ends; for clearly they are, again, not mutually exclusive. Only then will we truely begin to achieve any answers of value. Pointing the blame is not nealy as important as simply acheiving a deeper understanding overall.
