I just got diagnosed with neurocysticercosis. My cist size is 6.5. I wonder if this ever goes completely away or do I have to take medicines forever? I do not believe in changing the body's natural chemistry aand would also like to know is there a natural way to get rid of this and/or combat it? Thanks

hello everyone...I was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis 2 years before i.e. in Dec 2010. I took all the medication until the doctor told me stop after verifying that I am cured [with MRI diagnosis]...but recently 1 month before I got a seizure and when did MRI it was found that I am having neurocysticercosis on the same spot. Is it possible? I am in search of the tablet Cysticide but we searched everywhere in Pune and Mumbai but still couldn't find it....plz if anybody knows where I can find it tell me
