Yes they are tapeworms....I have seen the segments and the eggs and ID'd them online and I also had a Bio-feedback reading which is how I first found out I had them over 2 years ago. Having them in the head is not a picnic, for sure! And they do get resistant with the herbals over time. I am using Valbenza and getting relief. I actually had one behind my left eye socket and that is not a place I care to have them. The Valbenza killed it quick and most of the ones in my head but it is a on-going process. It also seems to paralyze the larger ones....the longer I am on it the less they move.
