New science report on Toxoplasma gondii "..latent toxoplasmosis represents a large and so far underrated public health problem"

Important: It is a misconception that TG is related to cats or felines...there is no real scientific evidence supporting this....and it is wrong. TG is to be found i many, many species - from birds to arctic whales to humans.

During 2016 several new scientific articles and reports reinforce the raised questions;

**Update june 23rd**
Based on the - gigantic - volume of scientific data concerning TG, it is safe to conclude the following:

1. TG is a global challenge and affects both society and individuals.
2. TG is involved - one way or the other - in most chronic diseases, physical and physic. TG exhausts the immune-system and "highjacks" the Amygdala and other important parts of the brain.
3. TG infection-rate is app. 25-30% on average for humanity as a whole.
4. The risk of infection adds over time, i.e the older you are, the higher the risk.
5. People infected by TG are always affected - following a bell curve, as to how seriously it manifests in the individual.
6. TG infection is higher among people in executive positions/people dealing with decision making and more women than men get infected.
7. There are many - simple - ways to cure an individual.
8. Unfortunately TG has spread to several animal spices.
9. There MIGHT be a (global) solution, and it might be based on frequency.
10. There is a strong correlation (and perhaps causation) between TG and the concept of archons.
11. TG is the cause of Wetiko

Thread: Sophia's correction - happening right now - and WE influence the outcome.
Thread: A new species : Archon. The problem we all share and the essential culprit in global fear-events.


**Update April 15th 2014***

PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE just released stating that TG is a "GLOBAL THREAT"
[link to www.plosone.org]
"Toxoplasmosis is becoming a global health hazard as it infects 30–50% of the world human population. Clinically, the life-long presence of the parasite in tissues of a majority of infected individuals is usually considered asymptomatic. However, a number of studies show that this ‘asymptomatic infection’ may also lead to development of other human pathologies."

Toxoplasma Gondii - the main culprit ?
...work in progress, please share, analyse and discuss

Journal of Pathogens, Vol. 2013:
"Toxoplasma gondii is not only implicated in schizophrenia and related disorders, but also in Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, cancer, cardiac myopathies, and autoimmune disorders”.

Overview (that could not have been made without GLP crowdsourcing!) :


Toxoplasma Gondii is all over.
30-80 % infection rate, i.e a majority of the worlds population is infected
Affects +3000 genes in a human being
Connects to almost all “large” health issues - both physically and psychologically
Connects to a number of societal issues
Is extremely old and very sophisticated

Connects to….
Cancers, Diabetes, Lupus, MS, Autoimmune conditions, Cardiac conditions, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, Depression, OCD, ADHD, Parkinsons, Alzheimer's and so forth.
Also connects to “perception of time”, “human error” and cognitive dissonance.

TG is extremely intelligent
Prof. PhD Robert Sapolsky, Stanford:
“TG knows more about neurology than thousands of human experts”
See this 30 minute interview with this great scientist:

TG subtly affects the psychology of an infected person…… this is extremely important!
Reduces interest for novelty, i.e it reduces Curiosity and promotes fear - fear is poison to curiosity
Promotes aggressiveness in males and conformity in females
Controls synthesis of Dopamine - the key to the human psyche

Mainstream science says: TG could be controlling our brains...

“Highjack of Amygdala”
TG can control the synthesis of Dopamine (and Testosterone) and thereby “highjack” the reptile brain.
Seems as if TG is instrumental in Fear Conditioning

….more that half the population of the world is expected to be infected.

Culprit in many diseases….

Interesting results from Chinese scientists:
Prevalence of T. gondii infection in cancer patients ranged from 24% [18] to 79% [19]. Prevalence of T. gondii infection varied with different cancers. Rectal cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma sufferers in Changchun city had the highest infection,with prevalence of 63.6% and 46.2%, respectively [18]. However, T. gondii infections in patients with breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric carcinoma in Henan Province were much higher than with other cancers, with a prevalence of 78.9%, 77.8% and 61.1%, respectively [19].

Turkish scientists made these observations:
Investigation of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in patients with neoplasia
Anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies were detected in 68 (63.0 %) patients and in 21 (19.4 %) of the controls, which was a statistically significant difference.
We found the seropositivity rates of anti-T. gondii IgG in Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukaemia, multiple myeloma, lung carcinoma, larynx carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and their ratios were as follows: 68.0, 60.0, 66.7, 73.3, 38.5, 50.0, 80.0, 60.0, 80.0 and 63.0 %, respectively.

Affects the human psyche and culture (!!)
“While latent toxoplasmosis is usually benign, the parasite's subtle effect on individual personality appears to alter the aggregate personality at the population level.”
[link to rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org]

Possible angles of attack for curing
Growth can be stopped and or killed by Haloperidol, Pyrimethamine, Artemisinin, lack of Vitamin B, probably THC/CBD, probably Nicotine, Garlic (!) and various herbs….
DMT and Anandamide could be of importance
Melatonin seems to play a crucial role together with the Pineal Gland.

Interesting affiliation with Plasmodium and Artemisinin
[link to books.google.ro]
….it is possible that through learning how to eradicate/control TG we will perhaps find the key to do the same to Plasmodium…...thus solving the problem of MALARIA !
Some interesting science on that subject here:
[link to www.medicalnewstoday.com]
Research led by a team of investigators at the Indiana University School of Medicine has detailed the discovery of a new protein and other proteins it connects with, which they say could lead to the development of new drugs that control toxoplasma gondii - the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis.

The history of TG
Excellent PDF on discovery (100 years ago) etc.
[link to naldc.nal.usda.gov]

….and much, much more
The amount of available data, scientific analysis and facts concerning TG is almost overwhelming.
The overall picture is very clear - and there is a statistical significant reason to believe that TG is the most important mental- and physical healthcare issue of this century.

True. Hard to digest and accept - but never the less true, and scientifically provable.

Parasitism is en evolutionary strategy. It is one of three generic strategies: Individualism, Collectivism and Parasitism.

Toxoplasma is the epitome of parasitism - and it certainty is "intelligent" in the sense of it being deeply embedded in the system of evolution.

Tg's ONLY defense is not to be discovered - and that is why it suppresses Curiosity, through mastering the synthesis of Dopamine.

AGAIN we see science warn us about the consequences of Tg.....but there is NO public awareness.

Journal of Clinical Phsyciatry, November 11, 2016
"T. gondii seropositive status was associated with higher aggression"

"These data are consistent with previous studies suggesting a relationship between T. gondii and self-directed aggression (ie, suicidal behavior) and further add to the biological complexity of impulsive aggression both from a categorical and a dimensional perspective."

[link to www.psychiatrist.com]

Even WHO is trying to raise awarness:
"WHO November 9th, 2016: Toxoplasmosis: Greater Awareness Neeeded"

"Across the WHO European Region, the risk factors for infection of Toxoplasma gondii, particularly for pregnant women, and the consequences for infected babies or immunocompromised adults, are largely unrecognized."

[link to www.euro.who.int]

Again science points out Toxoplasma as being dangerous:

"The global seroprevalence of latent toxoplasmosis is estimated to be higher than 30%. The presence of slowly dividing parasites in tissue cysts located mainly in immunoprivileged organs was long considered asymptomatic. Recently, many studies have shown that latent Toxoplasma infections could have serious impacts on human health. "

"Results of the present cohort study, along with the previous data from many case-control studies or ecological studies suggest that latent toxoplasmosis represents a large and so far underrated public health problem."
