These might be my go-to intro to toxo for folks if brought into a series easy to nav, as I'm sure there's a lot more territory to cover in the future too. Sadly 404 here on those links 2019-07-24. But each one can be found with a google search on its title, and they are on target. :+1: For example, one pointed out: "The increased prevalence of toxoplasma in schizophrenics was demonstrated by at least 50 studies". Need obvious link one to the next in the series out there please. A search on folate shows vitamin B9, besides talk of B12. Really, hmm. B9? Can you clarify folate and B12 vs B9?
Can we just get a video where you mention what can be done to ELIMINATE/KILL the parasite if you're already infected?! These cliffhangers are brutal! Thanks.
Probably need to take a natural path here maybe to try and do this, maybe starve it out with some fasting and flushing the system? Most parasites seem to rely on a nutrient source of some kind to survive. There are some interesting supplement products around these days too, like nanoparticle zeolites which can cross the blood brain barrier, designed to bind and remove heavy metals but also some reports of flushing out parasites as well.
I read that the cyst that toxo creates are made from a special protien that the human body can't break down. You can only prevent it from killing you, it seems.
If 1/4 Americans are infected and it causes numerous problems, why don't companies and the government try hard to develop a cure? The parasite shouldn't be invincible... Have the scientists concluded that the parasites can never be removed?
It only causes problems in certain situations. Just like the bulk of humans have been infected with Herpes, but it's usually not a Problem.

Actually, doctors have to treat with antibiotics (e.g., a treatment with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine [antibiotic], plus folinic acid) patients with _Toxoplasma_ who have undergone an organ transplant and are taking immunosuppressants, patients who have undergone some anticancer treatment that temporarily debilitates or suppresses their immune system (including those who suffered leukaemia and have received chemotherapy to get a "bone marrow" transplant) as well as patients with HIV/AIDS infection. In summary any kind of immunocompromised patient parasitised by _Toxoplasma._ However, those drugs don't eradicate encysted parasites in the tissues: cdc.gov/parasites/toxoplasmosis/health_professionals/index.html
I'm betting DMSO either by itself or combined with something like nano silver (not colloidal silver) would kill it. Experts say DMSO crosses the blood-brain barrier like it's not even there. Also it's excellent at detoxing the cells and a powerful antibiotic/anti-fungal. The medical industry will never tell you about it because they can't make any money from it. Watch the old 60 Minutes segment on it.
@@SaleXchannel I did tell you to watch the 60 Minutes video (plenty of evidence sited in that video alone) and search the medical references for yourself. It makes no difference to me if you don't believe me or them. It will only matter to you when you need help healing. Organic sulfur and silver have helped much in accelerating my healing. DMSO is similar, so I expect it will increase the effectiveness of O.S. and silver.
Also when I go to restaurants they ask if I want pork cooked?!?!??! Is it insanity? Do people not know??? Beef it’s what I thought it would be ok to have it not well done, but pork or veal?!?!
Listen, if you're not immune suppressed or pregnant, or thinking about getting pregnant, you really don't Need to be worried about this. Just practice good hygeine like hand washing.

tamcon72 Look at the playlists on that dude’s channel - he thinks vegans are “buffoons.” Lol! He’s just here to randomly troll, and today was your lucky day. ;) Hope YOU have a great day, tamcon72! :)
tamcon72 If cat owners keep their cats indoors, they’re fine. If the cats are indoor/outdoor cats, not recommended, owners need to make sure they wash their hands after scooping or cleaning the litter box. Which they’re probably doing anyway. The test, as mentioned in a previous video, is if you like the smell of cat urine you’re infected.
The cyst is incurable and very scary. When the immune goes down, the cyst startes to infect the person. It is opportunistic. Now days,it is very common to see the pet's poop everywhere.We are living with infection even without having any pet.Our Lack of knowledge and ignorance are taking us to hell.What goes around comes around.Pet is not for everyone. If you don't know how to handle it, don't have it.Because, you will die of it.
There is a test, he mentioned the military using it in one of the videos. He also mentioned in a previous video that, if you like the smell of cat urine you’re infected.
There's a well-known test that has nearly 100% accuracy, and in terms of how you can eliminate it, you can't. I'm not joking when I say it will stay dormant in your brain until you die or until it activates again, which can be at any time.
Hi! Neighbourhood cats about 6+ come to my baclyard and poop all over and in the front yard. How do i sterilize the soil after them? Can I pour diluted bleach on the spot? What proportions? Thanks
New studies show that about 30% of household own cats and separate study that 30% of people tested show signs of infection. A recommendation was that people who have cats should use disposable litter boxes and change them daily. Sifting cat litter and reusing it is not recommended due to dried feces containing eggs being inhaled. Apparently the eggs are tiny and almost impossible to destroy short of using a flame thrower.
Uncooked beef, like (raw) filet americain is a problem. It can be infected too and is popular in Yerp. In France a lot of infection is assumed. However, if you freeze this meat to -19ºC for 48 hours, the parasite is said to croak, according to an RIVM study.
I feel like the info about stray cat infection rates was mis-characterized. The text of the paper seems to indicate that 6% were actively shedding during the study. I believe that leaves open the possibility that literally ALL the stray cats studied were infected.
how do you test for this? how do you treat this if you have it? also is that 3/4 cup cooked spinach measured before or after cooking? it takes a LOT of raw spinach to make 3/4 cup of cooked spinach.
@@_______.____._______ You have to have a valid REASON to make an appointment with a physician... You want me to take 1/2 day off work and pay my co-pay, and take my doctor's valuable time just to ask this question? Since Dr Greger brought this up and is educating us about this, he should be able to answer some simple questions. I think I should be able to get the answer right here.
Freezing meat solid for a couple days is said to kill it. True? Recent study shows correlation also with oral sex. New Zealand has highest rate of domestic violence, six sheep per person (80% infection), they eat mutton and sometimes even fermented rather than cooked. Victims lose empathy, this is tied to the loss of GABA in the brain. Why? Welp, here's a possibility, come to think of it: When one loses inhibitory neurotransmitters (GABA), the individual would lose control, so glutamate (the go-go-go) neurotransmitter has to step up and try to play the role of holding one back. Ergo constant anxiety, fighting one's self. With systems all tied up worrying about self, a continuous battle, there are no resources left to be able to tune in to the atmosphere of another, any appearance of an act of kindness, while laudable, is manufactured, forced, rather than genuinely spontaneous. Unfortunate, because, I submit that we are all sweet souls in our core and just messed up by toxoplasma gondii flying under the radar, highly underestimated.
Or at least make sure you wash your hands after handling the raw meat and also after scooping/clean. Also disinfect the areas that came into contact with the raw meat. Alternatively, there are now some vegan foods available that have been especially formulated for cats. You could look into those.

Well, Neurologist know that you replace the toxo line for a variety of cerebral lesions and you ger the same curve of psyquiatric and cognitive decline as with toxoplasmosis.
