Neurocysticercosis is the great harbinger of some gastrointestinal diseases like Ulcer and perforated stomach. This disease is not funny at all. That's where I found myself now. ULCER! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have read of the Circassians - a kind of mongrel Christians - who are said to divide their lives between sin and devotion; dedicating their younger age to sin and folly and their old age to sound repentance and communion with God. If this is your case, O if this is you, then I would not be in your shoes for hundred million worlds. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I have been asking a very pertinent question about the dietary regimen of the first man, our first ancestor, in the very beginning. Before the great disobedience, before the first sin and attendant punishment, before what the Christian would call Adam's great somersault and the consequent banishment from the garden of Eden thereof, what was he eating? What was man eating? I have been thinking about this recently. Was he reclining on stewed beef or sheep? Did he eat large amounts of cattle or ram or chickens? Perhaps he enjoyed himself with a sumptuously prepared fish stew or even pigeons? There is no doubt that man enjoyed himself to the fullest in the beginning, but what was his dietary regimen like. Was man sauteing pork or stewing snake? Is it Nkwobi or Periwinkles? Of course, the answer to all of these questions and more is a resounding no. NO! Man only ate what sprang up from the ground before he sinned. Man was a vegetarian in the beginning. He never ate any of the animals that were roundabout him. Ab initio, permission was given to him to eat only grains and fruits. Gen 1 : 29 Baldwretch: It was after he sinned (against God) that man started the vicious cycle of killing sentient beings for food. We read in Gen 9: 1 - 3 that he was now permitted to eat everything including animals. Baldwretch: Become a vegetarian, reader. Make up your mind to go full-blown veganism. Vegetarianism is good, but being a vegan is even better. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is absolutely good for you. There are a lot of plant-based alternatives that provide just as much protein as you can get from the animals and you don't have to put up with diseases of these kinds. Eating only plant-based products is the most ideal, beneficial lifestyle change you or anyone can ever undergo. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please do. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Neurocysticercosis has turned me to a vegetarian and a strong advocate of one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

In the wilderness, the bible record that God Almighty fed the people of Israel with a food called Manna for fourty (40) years, but he fed them Quail (meat) for only one month despite the people's persistent whining, complaints and bickering for flesh. Oh for some meat the people of Israel often cried. For some meat, they often complained to Moses. God knows us more than we know ourselves and like our people would say to things like this - E get why! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Most men think others are mortals but themselves. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Reminds me of that fine line in scriptures: And Adam lived nine hundred and so-so years years and then he died. What! Living for nine hundred years? And then the age continues that so-and-so lived another eight hundred and so-so years after the birth of his first child and then he died. He died. They died. Reality begins to dawn on most men when they are ill and they begin to agree with Seneca that said that "though death is before the old man's face, yet it may be as near the young man's back" ![]() ![]() ![]() If I get served a meal, whether at home or in a social gathering and you add a flesh on top - like a meat, a fish, or ponmo (hide), or whatever resembles one. If you do this one hundred times, I am definitely eating that first. Yes, the meat, fish, or whatever you put on top. Before I take a spoon to eat the food - before I even balance well, the meat, or fish, or ponmo, is already in my stomach. It's already gone. If you're a statistician and you decide to take a sample size of 100, 000 people in a popular Nigerian city who do this, well you might not find a single person. Isn't that strange! Isn't that a quite bizarre attitude of me! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, not anymore. Meat, or fish, or ponmo ooo, just count me out. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing humbles a man like illness. I bought beans yesterday and I bluntly told the woman that she shouldn't add stew. That if she adds tomatoes stew she's definitely eating her beans. I wouldn't pay for that, and I would not patronize her again. Haha, I am just kidding, I didn't actually say that but the message is quite taken. So let me make this clear because that is the reason for the update. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tomatoes stew or sauce, count me out. It seems the larva had perforated my stomach with its invasive approach and is not quite healthy for me at the moment whether boiled for a prolonged period or not. Do not take the words in bold seriously. If you must eat tomatoes, it should be boiled for a prolonged period, not cut out piece-by-piece to make a stew as we do in a tomatoes. What i said is not absolutely true. Avoid tomatoes altogether. |

The best and wisest of men are but men at their very best. There is just so much to know (about events, things, information and stuff) and just so little that man actually knows. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most men think they know, but actually - not very much! What kills adult worms in the human gut might not so much as singe the worm's larva and what kills the larva does little damage to the adult worms. The body of knowledge is a very deep, murky, bottomless pit. If you have ever consumed large amounts of concentrated salt solution, you would think that all worms should be taken out in an instant when these worms come in with a solution that has a large amount of salt added. Also, it might not occur to you that some "sugary" solution are quite detrimental to adult worms, but not the larva of the worm. That's sadly the case. Concentrated salt solution might singe the worm's larva, but not the adult worms. It seems to me that the adult worms have developed a coping mechanism against salt solution (even if added in excess) that prevents further damage. Two days ago, I was given canned Maltina. I didn't think that this 'sugary' canned drink is not friendly to adult worms. the moment I began sipping and relaxing while lying upwards with face towards the ceiling, two martial artist were fighting Kung-fu around my butt-hole. I was left wondering if it's the Malted barley in the drink, or the Hop extract, or the Caramel, or one of the added vitamins causing some serious ruckus around my butt-hole. Something concentrated salt rarely achieved. It seems Maltina paralyzes adult worms in the gut, but does no damage to the worm's larva since it cannot disturb the osmotic balance of the larva. Concentrated salt, on the other hand, kills the larva but does little damages to the adult worm. Have I made sense. |

In the School of Hard-Knocks, there used to be one notorious lecturer that brags and heaves in his own waters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The students in the university community are mighty afraid of this man. ![]() ![]() ![]() This man is a man of the soil and because he burrows into the soil as he grows, he also decays. Sometimes very, very quickly. This decay permeates many parts of the man and becomes endemic. The parts that decay are usually very diseased and the students usually have the - Well, I have bought this man, I can't throw him away. kind of mindset. The parts decays with all sorts of colours around and especially within - shouting with loud decibels the danger involved.

Three or four days after I made this enlightening post, not a single comment yet. This thread is conspicuously dry, or is it the Health board? Written in the last decade, I looked at my Project defense work which was submitted in partial fulfillment for the award of a Bachelor degree. In the first page, you have the "Certification." In the second, you have the "Dedication," and in the third page, you have the "Acknowledgement." I smiled reading the Dedication page. It reads: "To the "Summum Bonnum" (meaning, the Highest good). "Bonnum in quo omnia bona." I.e, the good from which all other good emanates. There is an extreme excess, a cornucopia of all goodness and beauties in HIM. Health has not the comfort of beauty, nor beauty of riches, nor riches of of favour, nor favour of comfort itself, nor comfort of sovereignty - but God is the source, the spring, and the fountain of all goodness James 1 : 17, and to the loving memory of beloved Chrysostom who once said that if he were to preach a sermon to the whole world gathered together in one congregation and had some very, very high mountain for his pulpit from where he might have a prospect of all the world and he were furnished with a voice of brass, a voice as loud as the trumpet of the archangel that all the world might hear him all at once, he would choose to preach upon no other text in Holy scriptures than that in the Psalms, 'O mortal men, how long would you love what is worthless and pursue a lie?'" Psalm. 4 : 2. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited slightly. Do you like it? |

There's a limit to how many words the title bar permits. The title of this thread is: Neurocysticercosis - (worms in the human brain/tapeworm): The harbinger of Epilepsy and the foods you should absolutely avoid I am hurting so much because of this disease. If you have something to add, corrections to make, suggestions, recommendations for neurocysticercosis patients (like myself) that would offer some reliefs, please do. I created this post to get solutions that actually work. In two, three, or even four years' time when internet s from around the globe (battling with this very disease) stumble on this page, they would find the content helpful, thanking both the poster and the contributors. ![]() ![]() There's an embarrassing absence of materials on the web on the subject of "worms" - especially the foods you should avoid if you're a victim of a certain kind of worm infection that affects the brain. I learned about this just recently from the University of Hard-Knocks. No one taught me and I didn't learn about this from anyone. If you stop by at the university at any point in time, take a cab, just tell the cab-man that he should hurriedly take you to the University's library. It is a great, huge, beautiful library called the Book of Human Experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Okay, so let me cap a little before I talk about the foods you should avoid. Pardon me. I was in a low-budget restaurant in a certain part of the city I live - on the 23rd day of June 2024. This restaurant would usher me into unprecedented misery and inconvenience. The madam who manages the place should have renamed her restaurant to give intending customers an honest evaluation of what she's all about. That she doesn't take food hygiene seriously. That the quality of the produce she purchases in the market doesn't really matter as long as it is more money in the bank. She should have, for example, called her restaurant: "CHOP-AND-DIE," or "DIE-QUICK-QUICK!" or "DIE-HERE," or "AWESOME-BURIAL" restaurant. At-least, that way, we know that eating in her space is at the threat of death, or for someone who wants to give in to assisted suicide (euthanasia) or something similar. There are days, so many days in a man's life that he very easily forgets. That he never re! There are events in the calendar of a man's thoughts that are bygones. But ah, ah dear readers, ah! I would never forget this day. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() God said to Job: "If you lay a hand on it, you would certainly the battle that follows. You wouldn't try that again." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I would watch my back. I can see my "back." I always the battle that followed! I no chop for your place again. Madam abeg ooo! God abeg ooo! ![]() ![]() The restaurant is somewhat in an open space, but what should have drawn my attention was the vegetable soup I ordered. The soup, in a big pot, was not covered. It appears to have a not-very-green colour. The vegetable leaves taste differently. You all have been in my shoes before where you said to yourself, "Well, I have paid for this one; I cannot throw it away," and other customers beside you are eating it. ![]() ![]() That was the beginning of the beginning. The end is not in sight yet. It's almost ten months now and I have not seen the end. If you know how I could see the end, please tell me in the comment. So on the 25th, I was on lock. As in, TOTALLY! Total lock-down. I could not go to the construction site where I worked. I could not do anything, but shit. You read that correctly - but shit! Counting, I would say I used the toilet at-least twenty-five times that day. In minutes or seconds, I was rushing to the toilet. At a point, I stopped flushing the toilet because of how frequently I used the toilet. The diarrhea was on a different level: extremely severe, intolerable, and prolonged. I had lost so much fluid and electrolyte, and as the saying goes: I don shit my intestines. Whenever I touched a side of my lower abdomen in those days, I could feel something moving upwards. It seems touching that part of my body (where the worm stays) is a great disturbance to it, so it moves away. That is an adult tapeworm moving in my body. A medical condition called Taeniasis. The next day, the status quo had worsened; it had not stayed the same. I drank concentrated salt water several times hoping I could kill the worms; I couldn't even eat that day. I vomited twice. I didn't even take my bathe. I had never, I repeat - I had never experienced anything like this in my entire life. If you asked me before this incidence what it means to de-worm one's self, I would just be looking at you and smiling, or speaking grammar - "No be just to comot worms for body." Not all worms can be "comot-ed" in an instant especially if they've formed base very well in your body. On the 27th, I had become (fill in the blanks): you wouldn't be lying if you called me the-man-who-cleans-his-asshole with water every twenty-twenty minutes, especially at night. At night I feel a ringing, burning, and itching sensation around my butt-hole as the worms do their thing. The worms as research shows are the Pin-worms. They were responsible for this. With the benefit of hindsight, I would say that I had mixed infestation of intestinal worms, not just Pinworms, or Whipworm, or even the Tapeworm. As at then, I didn't know. Some weeks later or so, it's almost as if I am cooked. Taenia Solium, from this very same vegetable had formed base in my body. The worm's larva goes straight to the brain and form cysts there. This medical condition is called Neurocysticercosis. Tapeworm in the brain! It also travels to other parts of the body but there, in the brain, the larva multiply, forming cyst that calcify. Calcified cyst, if anything, can cause epilepsy. The other species, Taenia Saginata, causes Hydatid disease which is a disease of the lung, liver, and peritoneum. I had both. It becomes apparent as the larva of both species multiply quickly - causing the victim serious discomfort. I have been rid of all the other worms except the tapeworm. There is still so much I would like to say, like the brands of tapeworm drugs I have used, where I get my drugs for cheap, which is better: tablet or oral suspension, why I am getting re-infected, why my infection has tarried for this long and more. I would save that for you, if you ask. I have rambled long on my experience of these worms. Let me talk about the more important stuff, the koko, and this brings us to the food you should avoid as you treat brain worms. Avoid seeded fruits with all your life especially seeded fruits that naturally contain a substantial amount of water. These fruits are a viable habitat for worms and their eggs. You might not see the worms, but the eggs are able to thrive in these fruits and are unnoticeable. Tomatoes naturally contain water and it is seeded, so tomatoes sauce and all its varieties should be avoided. If you must eat tomatoes, it should be boiled for a prolonged period, not cut out piece-by-piece to make a stew as we do in a tomatoes sauce. Avoid Guavas too. Overripe guavas are usually the most susceptible to worm infection because their skins are tender. And as you know, Guava's, like Cherry (agbalumo) is a seeded fruit that birds could very easily bore holes into leaving void for all kinds of parasitic take-overs. I got re-infected eating guava fruits three months ago or so, even though I should have known better. I especially enjoyed the guava fruits, but I am not enjoying myself now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Water melons, too, because they are seeded, contain water that is just balanced, and are often exposed. Date palm and others. If a fruit does not have a hard exocarp like the coconut and it contains water that is close in PH levels to what humans consume, just avoid, even if it is not seeded. You might have to turn vegan/vegetarian in the meantime by avoiding meat, fish, and some diary products in their totality. Why do I say this? I ate beef (goat meat) recently that worsened my condition. It didn't cause much problems for others who didn't have an underlying worm infection in their brain, but it certainly did for me. It seems there was so much tapeworm eggs in the beef (or the worms had bore holes into the flesh shielding the eggs from the heat since they are deep in the flesh). Regardless, I would argue that it wasn't thoroughly boiled. Worms are capable of boring holes into the flesh of animals we eat and hide their eggs there. Be careful. Be very careful. I would also add that goats, like other omnivorous animals, eat worms as part of their diet, so you'd do yourself a great good to avoid their flesh. What about fishes? Fishes eat worms too. Sometimes ago we ate fish in a takeaway foil and left the foil outside the apartment just beside the air-conditioner. Lo and behold - four or five days later, there was so much worms in the foil that you could not keep count of the worms that had emerged from this one single foil. That's why I think fishes, too, should be avoided. They are fore-runners of worms. Avoid them if you have neurocysticercosis. The bottom-line is this: animals like cattle and goats ingest these worms and their eggs as they forage for food and we are the ones (patients of neurocysticercosis) who suffer the most when we eat their flesh. I learned this from the university's library. I wish I knew this earlier. LOL. It is best you avoid these foods for the mean time. It's not a permanent arrangement. You want all the larva and the ensuing cysts in your body dead. My feces has shown a remarkable lower count of the worm's larva and even lesser of their cyst - which is actually a strip of white colour laced around the feces. It takes a while to achieve this, but with God's help, we would succeed. If there are other foods to avoid, please let me know in the comment. Eating all these (and more) re-infects you which lengthens an already long process. You're better off being safe than sorry. ![]() ![]() Eat the hide of cattle instead (ponmo) if you please. Ponmo is quite hard; worms cannot bore into it. What am I even saying, don't eat ponmo. I seem to be confused, but I have already told you why. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have been avoiding some of these foods of recent and it seems I am running low on bodily vitamins and nutrients. The LORD is my strength. If you are aware of any medication I could use to relieve me of these worms in an instant, please let me know. That's primarily the reason I created this post. I have been battling this for close to a year now. I had wanted to ask nairalanders what to do to overcome this, but I thought it wise to also contribute my own quota (for s who might be fighting this disease in the future and google-searching) as I ask you guys. Cheers! cc:@Seun |

It is the blood given in exchange for a life that makes purification possible. Leviticus 17 : 11. In this way, he (the man specially assigned to bind the scapegoat) will transfer the people's sins to the head of the goat. Lev 16 : 21 The real goat has died.
