Tryptamind (OP) User ID: 535532 Canada 10/28/2008 08:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to pr.caltech.edu] Parasites in the Brain? At a recent evening lecture at the California Institute of Technology, a neurologist was explaining the ins and outs of new brain-imaging technology to an audience composed of Caltech professors, students, and members of the general public. The audience was rather quiet, lulled by the technical tone of the lecture. But when the neurologist mentioned in passing that the disease afflicting one of his patients was caused by a brain parasite, the whole room sat up and made a collective noise of disgust and alarm. Brain parasites! But, in fact, parasites infect us all the time. They live in our bodies, even in our cells, and most of the time we do not even know that they are there. The brain can provide a pleasant, nurturing environment for parasites, because it has structures that prevent many of the immune system’s cells from entering, at least in the early stages of infection. Add to that plenty of oxygen and nutrients, and the brain seems like a rather nice place to live. Despite its seemingly idyllic home, a brain parasite’s life does have its hardships. To begin with, the parasite has to find a way into the brain. Invasion of any organ is difficult, but the brain is an especially tough nut to crack due to a protective barrier between the bloodstream and brain fluid, called the blood-brain barrier. This barrier is made up of cells that make a tight seal along any blood vessels so that most stuff from the bloodstream (including brain parasites) can’t leak into the brain. If the parasite does manage to successfully enter the brain, it then has to deal with the attack of the immune system. The cells of the immune system act together to rid the body of any foreign organisms. In humans, the immune system is highly organized and efficient; parasites’ evasion mechanisms have evolved to be good enough to thwart the immune system, at least for a little while. Unfortunately, the most effective parasites are the ones we really have to worry about. In fact, millions of people worldwide are infected by these efficacious brain parasites. If you haven’t heard about them before, it is probably because most infected people live in nonindustrialized countries, where living conditions are not very sanitary. Many of these brain parasites cause debilitating conditions and sometimes even death. So, in addition to being interesting biologically, brain parasites are also important in the context of human disease. Two parasites with disease-causing capabilities are the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, and the amoeba Naegleria fowleri. In addition to their medical importance, these two organisms illustrate the many ways that brain parasites are able to affect their hosts through their methods of invasion and survival. Tapeworm: From Pork Chops to the Brain The pork tapeworm is one of the most common disease-causing brain parasites. This parasite infects over 50 million people worldwide, and is the leading cause of brain seizures. It is usually contracted from eating undercooked pork, and once in the gut, it attaches to the intestine, and then grows to be several feet long. Under certain circumstances, these worms can also invade the brain, where thankfully they don’t grow to be quite so large. Why does the worm sometimes attach to the intestine but at other times travel to the brain? It all depends on what stage of its life cycle the worm is in when it is swallowed. In its larval stage, the worm will hook onto the intestine; however, if eggs are swallowed, they hatch in the stomach. From there the larvae can enter the bloodstream and eventually travel to the brain. But in order to reach the brain from the bloodstream, the larvae must traverse the blood-brain barrier. Unfortunately, researchers still don’t know exactly how this happens. Many scientists think that the larvae can release enzymes that are able to dissolve a small portion of the blood-brain barrier to allow the parasite to get through into the brain. Once the larvae reach the brain, they cause a disease called neurocysticercosis, by attaching to either the brain tissue itself, or to cavities through which brain fluid flows. (Brain fluid carries nutrients and waste to and from the brain, and acts as a cushion to protect the brain against physical impact.) Once attached, the larvae develop into cyst-like structures. The location of the cysts determines the symptoms exhibited by the host. If the larvae attach to the brain tissue, then the host often experiences seizures. This occurs partly because the presence of the larvae causes the activity of the brain to become wild and uncontrolled, thereby causing a seizure. On the other hand, if the larvae attach to the brain-fluid cavities, the host experiences headaches, nausea, dizziness, and altered mental states in addition to seizures. These additional symptoms occur because the flow of the brain fluid is blocked by the larvae. Often, the presence of the larvae also causes the lining of the brain-fluid cavities to become inflamed, further constricting the flow of the brain fluid. Since the cavities are a closed system, blockage of the cavities exerts pressure on the brain. This increased cranial pressure forces the heart to pump harder in order to deliver blood to the brain area, increasing the pressure on the brain even more. If the condition is not treated, the heart eventually cannot pump enough blood to the brain, neurons begin to die off, and major brain damage occurs. See ya. |

Tryptamind (OP) User ID: 535532 Canada 10/28/2008 08:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This shit is scary...how do you know if you've been infected with a parasite? Quoting: The_Venerable 412220Hahaha. Sorry. This topic of discussion usually makes people cringe. I think being aware of your own actions and behaviors is probably key. There is not enough research or application in Medical Science yet to determine if you're a host to a brain parasite. In some occasions it becomes apparent. Brain scans and stool samples are not exactly very accurate diagnostic methods. I think actions and behaviors will be a key determining factor in the future for investigating these bugs. I think some companies, especially in the Mental Health field, already know a Parasite is responsible for the illness, instead of a cure though, they seem to tweak molecules around to become long term treatments. I really do question Eli Lilly, who's main cash crop narcotic is derived from a anti-parasitic compound in Nature, but passed off as a treatment for BiPolar disorder and Schizophrenia. Eli Lilly also markets the compound for all kinds of health disorders... Hmmmm.... See ya. |

Tryptamind (OP) User ID: 535532 Canada 10/28/2008 08:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The interaction between the immune system and the cysts is quite amazing; it is a great example of how evolution can produce two complementary systems. The immune system is seeking to find and destroy the parasite, while the parasite is attempting to stay hidden and alive. One way that the cysts are able to “hide” from the immune system is by degrading the antibodies that attach to them. There is some evidence that the antibodies are used as a food source, and that the cysts are able to coax the immune system to make more antibodies. The cysts can even disguise themselves as part of the host’s body by displaying proteins on their surfaces that identify them as part of the host—much as Wile E. Coyote hides from Sam Sheepdog in a herd of sheep by wearing a sheepskin. Finally, the location of the cysts is itself conducive to escaping detection by the immune system. The brain is not easily accessible to the cells of the immune system due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier, and so the parasites are partially protected from random encounters with the body’s defenders. Only when the immune response is in full swing can the immune cells enter the brain in large numbers. Besides hiding from the immune system, the tapeworm parasites are able to prevent the immune cells from killing them by using several strategies. For instance, the parasites are able to prevent the complement proteins from attaching to their surfaces. The tapeworms can even release molecules that act as decoys, tricking the killer proteins into leaving them alone. The cysts also release other proteins that are able to protect them from being eaten, although how exactly this is accomplished is still unknown. There is some evidence that these proteins are able to prevent phagocytes from accurately targeting the cysts. One of the ways that phagocytes are able to go to the right place in the body during an infection is by following a chemical trail. This trail is produced by other immune cells at the site of infection. Some of the proteins released by the cysts are able to obscure this chemical trail so that the phagocytes become lost on their way to the infection. Cysts are also thought to release a second set of proteins that decreases the activity of new phagocytes. These proteins affect another group of immune cells that control the activity of new phagocytes; these regulatory immune cells then decrease the number of active phagocytes. Finally, a third set of proteins released by the cysts is thought to be able to prevent phagocytes from producing the proteins necessary to kill the cysts. See ya. |

Monarch User ID: 537669 United States 10/28/2008 11:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just recently lost my favorite cat to what two Vets disagreed on(after he was misdiagnosed 4 times, for like you said, other more common ailments.! One said FIP(Feline Infectious Peretinitis-also commonly know as mutated Corona Virus) The other (who is the leading expert in FIP (practicing in the UK)said ToxicPlasmosis(parasitic-the one pregnant women can contract from changing kitty litter). Never did get the answer. The Vet Hospital here refused to change treatment! The other two cats are doing OK now. One started showing some symptoms of not feeling well and I started giving them the Colliodal Silver Solution(ionically charged negative like the blood) I sell. They're both doing OK now. After reading what you posted I'm starting to understand why! Same thing, T-ghondi, that you were mentioning. It's a parasite that often gets mistaken for other things because of the simularity in appearance to other bacteria. I only found out it would work on that a few days after my cat died Wondering about the diagnosis of MS that my daughter was just given by brain scan. She donated one of her kidneys a year ago, and would be susceptible to TP which can mimic MS.

doc house User ID: 71715 Australia 10/28/2008 11:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: TryptamindOne thing the Psychiatric community doesn't take into consideration is that Mental Health related illnesses maybe an effect of Parasites, and not necessarily related to Genetics or Experience. Some people will make the claim that all mental health issues maybe related to Parasitism. Nice theory, but highly dubious since scientists have discovered and isolated certain genes responsible for Schizophrenia and other Dopamine related situations within humanity. ... I believe the link is actually a link between the presence of certain genes and a person having schizophrenia. That does not imply the genes directly causes schizophrenia. The gene could be responsible for creating elevated dopamine levels and other associated chemicals which in turn provides the ideal environment for a particular parasite to thrive, which in turn then causes schizophrenia. So the theory involving parasites as the main causal agent of schizophrenia is not high dubious but imo rather likely. |
