Re: I think my 76 yr old dad has a head tape worm. Tests?
hi jessesmom....I've been thinking of his symptoms and possible causes, these
parasites can just freak you out wondering how extensive something may be.
the blood pressure spike can happen with
parasite cleansing, it's happened to me. my pressure went way up, 160/100, usually I'm under 110/70. I don't know how his other symptoms of visual problem and headache fit in with this, if it's part of the same cause, or something else, you'll know more once he gets it checked out.
the possibility of
Tapeworm in the head, I think if there are any
parasites right inside the brain, they'd have to be fairly small, like cysts, full grown
Tapeworms in the brain would cause so much havoc it'd be obvious something was very wrong, there'd be things like seizures, maybe convulsions.
I know how it gets with these things, you start to wonder how bad it is...when I had my blood pressure go up like that, it felt like my head was going to explode and I thought there could be something crawling in my brain, I thought I'd set them off with the herbs...given my high level of infection it seemed possible...but it was only blood pressure response to dying parasites...not hatching brain larvae, sure felt like it could be though. this was one case where I knew the adverse symptom was really die off, because my symptoms of subcutaneous skin crawling/itching resolved right after it.
he'll be okay...cayenne, by the way, is phenomenal to bring down high blood pressure.
