What is an effective cure against intestinal tapeworms?

Question:

I have a cousin in Europe who has been struggling with a parazite in her intestine (Taenia solium, a flatworm from pigs) for several years. Her condition is deteriorating rapidly with no hope for cure. She has been treated with Albendazole, Niclosamide, Parazitin
(Vaxa) and several homeopathic products (male fern extract, pumpkin seed extract, black walnut extract) without any success. If anybody knows any cure, I will greatly appreciate their sharing of the information.

Answers:
This disease is highly curable with good medical treatment and fatal without. Quit the homeopathic stuff as this is wasting time when the disease is progressing and causing brain damage. The article linked below describes treatment. If you need to sign in to access it, don't worry as access if free. Print out the article and have your cousin take it with her to a hospital for treatment. The various curative drug options are listed towards the bottom of the web page as are additional treatments for the damage being done by the flatworm. good luck as this ailment sounds horrible.

Other Answers:
Umm, I would ask a doctor, but I think they have to be removed. And I don't mean with a laxative.

Hasn't your cousin seen doctors over the years that tell her what she can do to get rid of it? She obviously knows what her condition is, surely doctors would know better than us. :-x

they could remove it surgically.. thats what they do in extreme cases. unless your cousin is in a poor country.
