Re: dr. not helping re probably tapeworm in brain

parasite forum can give you some info. However if you truly think you are a candidiate for a Tapeworm (and that is probably true for anyone who eats pork or vegetables), then do research about what works. You are not confined to what your doctor does for you. You can do what you need to do for you too. There are alternatives and I don't mean herbs or any kind. Albendazole is a very good broad spectrum which does not interfere with human biology, only worm or Cestode type helminths. Be careful, as there are side effects. Albendazole may need to be kicked up with Praziquantel, and Dexamethasone to protected the brain and other organs from inflammation caused by the dying helminths. Best wishes and good luck. Keep searching for the answer. You can find it if you do keep trying. Tweet
