DESCRIPTION: Chronic headaches such as migraines or "tension" headache symptoms may be a sign of pork tapeworms in the brain.

I previously covered the topic of brain infections with pork tapeworms in my videos:

• Pork Tapeworms on the Brain (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pork-tapeworms-on-the-brain/)
• Avoiding Epilepsy Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoiding-epilepsy-through-diet/)
• Not So Delusional Parasitosis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/not-so-delusional-parasitosis/)

Other parasites in meat include toxoplasma (Brain Parasites in Meat, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/brain-parasites-in-meat/), sarcosystis (USDA Parasite Game, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/usda-parasite-game/), and Anisakis (Allergenic Fish Worms, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/allergenic-fish-worms/). There are even some critters in some dairy products (Cheese Mites and Maggots, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cheese-mites-and-maggots/).

Eating Outside Our Kingdom (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eating-outside-our-kingdom/) describes a brain malady caused not by meat parasites, but by meat proteins.

One of the nice things about eating plant-based is that plant parasites, like aphids, don't affect people. When is the last time you heard of someone coming down with Dutch elm disease?

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chronic-headaches-and-pork-tapeworms/ and he'll try to answer it!
