I wonder how many food service jobs he had.

God knew what he was doing when he told his followers not to eat pork!!!

[Trillian]

Was he treated with ivermectin?

[ZOOKER]

So the authorities are assuming he picked up this bugger in Guatemala 17 years before, and it took that long to manifest?
I'm skeptical. 17 years? Can't help thinking he was infected more recently, but I'm no expert on brain-eating parasites.

I came across that medical term years ago when I was a medical transcriptionist. I thought the doctor was stuttering at first and then spent 20 minutes researching what I was hearing. I rarely heard the term again, which is surprising since I live in the Phoenix area and we have tons of Hispanics. TB, on the other hand, was an ongoing patient issue at the last hospital I worked at.

Grilled the pork chops a bit too much tonight. Glad I did after reading this article.

Maybe Biden ate some bad pork?..................

Thanks for that great find.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite current guidelines recommending use of albendazole with or without praziquantel for neurocysticercosis, our case (as well as 4 other cases documented in the recent past) suggest a possible use of ivermectin as potential therapy for neurocysticercosis. We recommend continued research regarding other cases of ivermectin use in similar patients and even comparison studies with albendazole with or without praziquantel in terms of efficacy and side effects in order to better treat this international endemic.

Can you believe that? The doctor went against CURRENT GUIDELINES (probably the "gold standard" of care) and used IVM to treat his patient with great success. It doesn't sound like he had his license revoked, either.

Where have heard this story before? Except for getting your license revoked for even merely MENTIONING IVM or suggesting it might be efficacious, much less using it.

Why is it OK to go off-label and use IVM to treat Neurocysticercosis, but strictly verboten to do the same thing to treat COVID?

He was confused, uttering nonsensical words and tried to resist being taken by ambulance to Massachusetts General Hospital. Sounds like Biden

A very well armed scolex.

THIS is exactly the reason why we need to irradiate our foods.............
