They Told Her She Had a Brain Tumor…
Then They Found This

She couldn’t decide whether to be grossed out or relieved.

Doctors had given this newlywed woman the horrible news that she had brain cancer. So the neurosurgeons at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City cut open her skull, expecting to find a malignant brain tumor.

What they found instead was shocking.

So shocking, they didn’t even know what it was. It had them scratching their heads. They removed it from 42-year-old Rachel Palma’s head and placed it under a microscope.

Then they sliced into it and you won’t believe what they found...

Weird symptoms

The object of their shock? A baby tapeworm.1

Ms. Palma had consulted a doctor in the first place because she'd been struggling with some strange, annoying symptoms for quite a while.

She’d suffered from insomnia – and then from nightmares when she finally did get to sleep. On top of that, she had hallucinations – thinking things were happening that weren’t. That would be enough to disturb any of us.

In early 2018, her symptoms got worse.

She dropped her coffee mug on the floor for no reason. She became confused – leaving a message on her parents’ answering machine saying that the store where she’d purchased her mattress years ago suddenly wanted it back.

She also locked herself out of her house, showed up for work without her uniform, and stared blankly at her computer screen, unable to make heads or tails of the words on it.

Finally, doctors identified a lesion on her left frontal lobe. And because of its shape and location, they diagnosed it as brain cancer.

Grossed out, but relieved…

After surgery, doctors changed her diagnosis from brain cancer to neurocysticercosis, a parasitic infection in the brain caused by the pork tapewormTaenia solium.

Not that anyone would be thrilled to be told a creepy organism is ‘going viral’ inside them… but at least it meant fewer treatments than they would have prescribed for brain cancer.

What’s more, she’s not the only person getting a scare from Taenia solium, though it’s rare in the U.S.

There’s also the case of Sam Condero, a Tampa man who ate some undercooked pork. He had the misfortune of the parasite passing from his gut, through his bloodstream, and into his eye.2

After he started seeing black dots in his field of vision, doctors were called in to perform a very delicate surgery on his eye. If the parasite had died, it could’ve caused blindness or moved to his brain.

Dr. Don Perez performed the surgery. This was his second time operating to remove a tapeworm. The first was in 2012.

There have been only twenty documented cases worldwide of pork tapeworms reaching the eye.

About Taenia solium

Bobbi Pritt, Director of the Clinical Parasitology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic’s Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, says Taenia solium is uncommon in the U.S.

There are, however, two ways you can get it. The most common is eating uncooked or undercooked pork.

But there’s a second (often overlooked) way as well.

You can catch it from a person who already has the parasite, gets its eggs on their hands, and then prepares food that you eat. That’s just one reason it’s so important to wash your hands after using the bathroom andbefore preparing food.

If you become the parasite’s inadvertent host, its eggs can travel to your small intestine, hatch into larvae, penetrate your bowel wall, pass into your bloodstream, and move freely throughout your body. Yes, even into your brain or eyes.

However, this parasite is far more prevalent in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, China, and India than in the United States.3

Neurocysticercosis, the disease the tapeworm causes, is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. Just because you don’t experience symptoms doesn’t mean you’re not infected.

Sometimes the infection manifests as epilepsy, other times as headaches. But hardly anyone makes the connection between epilepsy and parasites, not even doctors.

Which is unfortunate, since treating the parasites could mean getting rid of the epilepsy and regaining a normal life. Perhaps the scariest thing about this disease is that doctors are very unlikely to be familiar with it. You’re likely to be diagnosed with something else, e.g. cancer or epilepsy.

Active neurocysticercosis is treated with antiparasitic drugs, and sometimes steroids.

Doctors often miss it

If you have symptoms that don’t resolve no matter what you do – or if you’re getting a second opinion on a serious diagnosis such as cancer – this may be a “box to check” that could save you a lot of pain and suffering. I want to stress this is not likely but it’s something to consider, especially if your doctor is stumped.

Among some alternative cancer experts, it’s an article of faith that cancer is caused by parasites, and many will include a parasite cleanse as part of their cancer protocol. When they do, it’s not uncommon for some wormy, squirmy things to be expelled from the patient’s body – little “guests” they never knew they had.

But conventional doctors typically believe parasites are never an issue in America. They are not going to take the initiative of chasing down this lead. More than likely they’ll dismiss the notion if you ask them.

David Edelberg, M.D., said that one of his patients handed her positive Genova parasite test to her gastroenterologist from Northwestern. He glanced at the lab work, tossed it back without even reading it, and blew it off as garbage because he’d never heard of the lab.4 (Genova Diagnostics, Inc., is popular with more open-minded practitioners.)

Nutritionist Alan Gaby, M.D., suggests that if you don’t have access to one of the parasitology labs (named below), you should take your specimen to a veterinarian and attribute the sample to your beloved pet – since vets are much better than conventional doctors at diagnosing parasites.5

Stool samples for parasites should go to parasite-specific labs. In addition to Genova, often-recommended labs include Meta Metrix, Doctor’s Data, and Meridian Valley.6 Samples should also be gathered over the course of a few days, not just once.

When a diagnosis is made, treatment is generally pretty straightforward – antiparasitic meds and/or antibiotics, followed by more lab work to ensure the parasite is gone.

You probably shouldn’t lose sleep over this

It’s probably not worth lying awake at night wondering whether a parasite is making you its home. While it is possible, it doesn’t happen too often in the US.

Doctors agree about two troublemakers – ameba (E. histolytica) and giardia (G. lambia). You can get them by the unsavory “fecal-oral” route, which is exactly what it sounds like. (Now go wash your hands.)

I got a giardia infection last winter traveling in a less-developed country (I didn’t follow my firm rule of drinking only bottled water.) Because I’ve had on-and-off intestinal problems for years, I didn’t know there was a new factor at work, so I didn’t consult my doctor. When I finally did, he knew at once it was probably giardia, and two courses of an antibiotic called tinidazole cleared it right up.

Not only that, but my “usual” IBS went away, too, which probably means I’d been a host to something or other for years. For years I’d been testing different types of foods, such as gluten, to see if they were the cause of my problem. Turns out they had nothing to do with it.

Nutrition is NOT the explanation for everything. Lesson learned.

Beyond ameba and giardia, there’s less agreement about other parasites, and they’re often missed in lab exams. They are linked to IBS.

As I learned the hard way, IBS is often protozoan in origin. So if diarrhea is a new event in your life, is unrelated to stress, and isn’t triggered by certain foods… as in, “I got traveler’s diarrhea while in Mexico and it never went away…” – it may be a sign that you should check for parasites.

Stories like Palma’s and Condero’s have great shock value. But don’t sweat it. Just do the things you should be doing (or avoiding) anyway, like…

  • Not swimming in dirty rivers and lakes
  • Washing your hands after you use the toilet and before you prep food
  • Filtering your drinking water
  • Only eating pork that’s fully cooked
  • Taking a high-quality probiotic
And yes, if you take a tropical vacation, it’s probably worth paying attention to new symptoms that suddenly appear.

I’ve strayed somewhat from the subject of cancer, but let me say one more thing: Fungus is the parasite most often mentioned as a cause or co-factor in cancer. In fact, there is a credible theory that cancer is really a fungus infection.

This is a big topic – we’ve done separate articles on it – and while there is not enough evidence to prove it, there’s enough to be credible. This is an area I’ve always wished would be the target of more research.

How to improve eyesight naturally
https://www.naturalhealth365.com/improve-eyesight-3026.html

In my recent research on the human eye, I came across a few simple things that you can do to protect against age related macular degeneration

One is by eating an orange every day it will reduce your chances of macular degeneration by a whooping 62%, an orange a week will reduce your chances by 23% and you get the benifit of the vitamins . (That's huge)
another is to make a tea out of Marigold petals
and another is saffron, saffron also has many other health benefits too, like killing cancer cells and more.
As you get older you realize just how valuable your sight is, please take good care of it

TAKE STEPS TO DETOX GLYPHOSATE
Of course, the best plan is to avoid glyphosate in the first place. However, with glyphosate toxicity all around you, it’s hard to avoid it 100%.

There are various ways to detoxify glyphosate that we teach in our Detox Your Hormones course. Today I’ll focus on one effective method: consuming raw apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar contains a bacteria that can metabolize (break down) glyphosate.

Here are three easy recipes:

glyphosate-toxicity-limeade.png

ACV Limeade:

2 drops doTERRA lime oil

2 teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar

7 drops liquid stevia

12 oz. cold water

1 lime, squeezed

ACV Grape Drink:
2 oz. organic grape juice

10 oz. cold water

2 teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar

Magnesium Super Drink:

6 oz. cold water

1 teas. Magnesium Chelate powder

1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar


No matter how hard you try you can't avoid the GMO plague, even organic veggies that you purchase at the market can be sprayed with Glyphosate, it can be used as a ripening agent on organic veggies:eek:. WTF, how comforting it is to know our food protection agencies are looking out for our good:mad::giggle: Always wash your veggies in a solution of 5% salt and 8% vinegar to remove the poisons.

I can’t believe Glyphosate can be used on organic produce. WTH?
We’re buying from a CSA that’s organic. This is f*cked up.
What food protection? They’re cracking down on raw milk but letting this stuff go on! :head bang:

Yep, but we just planted them about a year ago, it'll be awhile before they produce any fruit.


I was hoping that I got the tree thing right, since the beans may grow on bushes or something !
So it must be great having great coffee and cacao that’s grown on your own farm. Lucky! ️clink :)

I can't remember where but I got that hidden on an official site, USDA I think had it but wording helped to mask it a lot of people probably went right over it. Their the theory is that the glyphosate can be washed off so it's still organic, and the GMO gene isn't inbred into the seed that grew that product. I'll try to find the info in my archives but here's something you also might not know...

GMO.... means produce grown using genetically modified seed and use of GMO sprays (roundup ready)

Non GMO.... means produce grown from non GMO seeds, these crops can be sprayed with GMO's during and after being harvested

Organic... and this is how they class it:rolleyes:.... means produce that comes from organic seed but can't be sprayed with GMO's until after harvest

Some fucked up classifications huh?

It might be wise to pass on the dairy products as much as you can;)

I hope this helps you to better understand the GMO dilemma and makes you a more frugal shopper;):)

And please always wash your produce in a solution of salt @ 5% and maybe add 8% vinegar:cool:

The GreenMedInfo Newsletter
July 15, 2019

Dear Jim
I created GreenMedInfo.com over 10 years ago to raise awareness about the most pressing health challenges of our times , and ways to solve them. Because of this advocacy, I've experienced both a lot of support and push back, especially on topics related to your basic human right to informed consent, with vaccination being the biggest powder keg, and your right to use natural alternatives to drug-based medicine a close second.

But I'm here to tell you there is an even more ominous issue threatening to strip your health rights and compromise your bodily integrity, and which is being rolled out all around the world -- and even in space -- without your consent and with ZERO evidence proving it safe.

What is it? 5G. Don't believe the marketing hype. It's not just about faster connection and video streaming speeds. And is it not just a radiation risk to your health, as it can be used as a surveillance system and as a directed energy weapon.

Sound like science fiction or 'conspiracy theory'? Sadly, it's not make believe, and if the powers that be have their way, it will soon be found on every block of every neighborhood in this country, with many more countries around the globe soon to follow.

This is alarming situation is why I teamed up with my friend and colleague Josh Del Sol, the tireless activist and documentary filmmaker behind Take Back Your Power, to co-create the 5G Summit: Awareness and Accountability. In less than a month, Josh interviewed over three dozen of the world's experts on the topic - because time was of the essence, and we needed to get the information out NOW while we still have a chance.

Together, we have produced an extremely empowering event , focusing not just on the harrowing magnitude of the problem, but what you and I can do to take concrete steps, both in our homes, and communities, to prevent this unprecedented roll out from moving forward unchallenged. We have also gathered the information you need to mitigate and/or neutralize the dangers and harms that are already present associated with all forms of EMF we are daily exposed to.

Join us here to save your spot, and please share this with friends, family and colleagues, because it's only through grassroots, word-of-mouth activism, that together we can and will make a hugely positive impact!


Kind regards,

When I was on ECF, I brought up the issue of soy VG probably being GMO. A pretty large wall of silence hit me!
My organic delivery site has not been carrying milk lately, so I’ve been using coconut or macadamia milk. It’s slightly more expensive but it’s basically as good since it’s for tea and coffee.

I can’t thank you enough for these articles! Really grateful for them. If I ever have a question about something, I know where to go. So glad you’re back now!

Nearly all bottled water found to contain microplastics… you are drinking “plastic stew” that disrupts human hormones

Save up and get a Big Berkey it is one of the very few that will take Glyphosate and Flouride out of your water
In my articles i posted before are water filter test results on some top brands

Hey my friend I have been busy and haven't been stopping by as often as I would like to, but glad to see your posts. Enjoying Garden Vegetables already and eating more Salad lately then ever before~! My lettuce crop this year was amazing. Nothing better than homegrown produce even plain string beans taste different.

I always eat healthy my friend but during the summer I have been growing my own produce for years now with homemade compost as fertilizer. I don't know id it tastes better because it is natural and no pesticides or just a mental thing because I grew it. Still tastes wonderful.

Nope, true organics are proven to have more flavor so your taste buds are right on the mark
