Live tapeworm pulled from California man's brain








A California man is recovering after he had a live tapeworm removed from his brain during emergency surgery. Luis Ortiz was admitted to a hospital in Napa with what he called the worst headache of his life.In a brain scan, neurosurgeon Soren Singel discovered the larva of a tapeworm and told Mr Ortiz he had about 30 minutes to live. The tapeworm grew inside a cyst that cut off circulation and water flow to the rest of his brain. "I stood up and then I threw up," said Mr Ortiz. "The doctor pulled it out and he said it was still wiggling, and I'm like 'Ugh, that doesn't sound too good.'" The US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports larval cysts in the brain - neurocysticercosis - develop after a person swallows microscopic eggs passed in the faeces of a person who has an intestinal pork tapeworm.

A chart drawn for the solar eclipse of Sept.12 at Napa will help explain this strange affliction for Luis Ortiz.  The eclipse was placed exactly square the horizon axis implying that it was very significant for the place.  It was conjunct stars in the hind of the Lion about which Nick Fiorenza writes:

Zosma, Chort and Denebola are a triangle of stars that form the hind of the Lion, with Denbola marking the tail. They can manifest as emotional distress and agitation, often due to physical toxic congestion, which can also result in a depressed state of mind or view upon life, as well chronic health conditions, generally abdominal and intestinal. Alignments here can also indicate a need to clear any accumulated toxicity in a variety of areas of our lives.

In addition, the eclipse was in tropical Virgo (intestines) [1] and quincunx (illness)  Uranus in tropical Aries (head) [2] so that an ailment  of the intestines led to the headache which required an emergency brain surgery. So what caused the eclipse to be triggered? Well in the last few days of October and early November transiting Venus and Mars have been traversing the degrees occupied by the eclipse and the Node  providing the trigger for its manifestation.

And if we go a little further we can see the asteroid Hygiea (hygiene and health issues) on the IC conjunct the star Alphard, alphaHydrae in the constellation of the Water Snake. In our case here, the Hydra stands symbolically for the tapeworm resulting from water contamination that led to the problem.
