My husband's first CT without contrast was followed by a MRI without contrast of the brain. The radiologist indicated possible etiology toxoplasmosis. Should not this radiologist have recommended to repeat the MRI with contrast to confirm not toxoplasmosis verses glioblsatoma. In one year my husband had 19 CT/MRI. Only one MRI was with contrast and it was ordered not to be intrepreted. IS this normal. It says that the MRI with contrast had a radiologist but no intrepretation given since ordered not to be intrepreted. Is that odd? Prior to brain surgery does not the neurosurgeon often order the MRI with contrast?

Concerned about preventive treatment if needing to travel overseas I visited a vitamin shoppe for a natural cure where I purchase my all natural female hormones without a doctors persription. It was recommended that I take two products daily to address the parasites and the eggs of the parasites that hatch later into parasites. The names of the two products were TEA TREE OIL AND FRESH GREEN BLACK WALNUT WORMWOOD COMPLEX. I tried thet products for a month and did not experience any side effects. The cost was $29.00 total. Many foreign countries cure diseases with herbs not pharmaceutical agents. When one get lice in their hair you must treat the lice and their eggs. Parasites are the same. The store representative implied that someone with paraistes in their blood would have to take the products for a long time. More like a year or more. I suggest that many look into these products and understand how they change the blood system not to support the parasites any longer while not causin harm to the body.
