Toxoplasma makes men dumb, women promiscuous

YES FINALLY SOMEONE REALIZES THIS

FUCK

Cornell researchers recently discovered how T. gondii evades our defenses by hacking immune cells, making it the first known parasite to control its host's immune system. Immunologists from the College of Veterinary Medicine published the study Sept. 8 in PLoS-Pathogens, describing a forced partnership between parasite and host that challenges common conceptions of how pathogens interact with the body.

"Toxoplasma is an especially promiscuous parasite," said Eric Denkers, professor of immunology. "It infects nearly all warm-blooded species, most nucleated cell types and much of the human population. Although it lives in vital brain and muscle tissues, it usually causes no obvious reaction. Infection can seriously harm people with weak immune systems, yet most hosts experience no overt symptoms because Toxoplasma has found a way to coerce cooperation."

"We found that Toxoplasma quiets its host's alarm system by blocking immune cells from producing certain cytokines, proteins that stimulate inflammation," said Denkers.
"Toxoplasma hijacks immune cells to enforce a mutually beneficial balance," Denkers said. "Until recently we thought it walled itself away inside cells without interacting with its environment. It's now clear that the parasite actively releases messages into cells that change cell behavior."
"Cells infected with Toxoplasma produced no messages to trigger inflammation," Denkers said. "Our colleagues at Stanford University found that Toxoplasma produces a specific protein called ROP16 to suppress inflammatory responses.

I'm certain this is the cause of many societies ills. My one friend tol me one night he sleptwalked and ate his cats shit. I told him it was TG.

Anyone who has cats has this.

It can be spread.

It's why people like the smell of their farts and scratch and sniff their ass. Seriously, people have varying levels of it.

We need to find a cure ASAP.

Daraprim. Is the cure. Too bad Turing upped the price 5000%...................

Wormwood kills it, but absinthe is out of fashion and heavily vilified these days!
Thread: Inhibition of Toxoplasma gondii by derivatives of Wormwood

Im infected with this shit for sure and I havr a cat but I wont blame him he is a good little angel sent by god but yeh what other cures are there for this shit parasite fuck?

Wormwood pills do the job?

What about chemo? Would chemo therapy kill it?

Are you sure? I hear a-lot about wormwood. Im also thinking since toxo has a strong Cyst stage that wormwood would essentially be negated.

Maybe sugar plays a role? We can survice off a Keto diet, but what about toxo? Gotta do more research.

Sugar has nothing to do with this neither does Keto diet, there are many carnivores infected with toxo.

Yes uncooked meat. I was just assuming because most parasites cannot survive without glucose. I should research this more.

Glucose link

Infected pig meat is a source of Toxoplasma gondii infection for humans and animals in many countries. This parasite also causes mortality in pigs, especially neonatal pigs.
Currently used molecular and histopathological methods are insensitive for the detection of T. gondii in pork because of the low concentration of the parasite in meat destined for human consumption. There is no vaccine to prevent T. gondii infection in pigs but efforts are being continued to develop a non-viable vaccine.

I watched the youtube video in the other thread, and he talks about the amygdala. Maybe this is being PURPOSELY ignored to reduce the fear in the population. Prepare them for invasion...Chem Trails? God Damnit.

Yup the only way to starve Toxo is to stop intake of glucose and Glutamine...

So it turns men into women and women into men?

Nope, glucose is also produced in the liver!

The liver produces, stores and releases glucose depending on the body's need.

So were fucked.

So, that's the WORST this parasite has to offer? Does it have any physical health risks at all? Or is it just mental? What's the big fucking deal, really?

No one is gonna be like, "oh shit, i think I have toxoplasmosis." Like, seriously, are there any REAL symptoms?

I've owned cats my entire life (age 33 now), and i have never suspected anyone having this parasite?

So, what's the deal?

Now that is funny!!! Thanks for sheering me up this AM
greymatter

suicidal tendencies in combination with risk seeking (often without care of lethality for self or others), brain cysts, muscle cysts, increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects (amongst infected mothers)...and more (which I can't recall off the top of my head right now).

The stuff is nasty.

You drink toxic waste fluoride so you don't care about shit.Go watch some Sports or play a video game.

Sounds bout right, all my wives and GFs were nymphos and all I ever did was sit around and eject noxious fumes from my ass.Cats were always present.

Remembered some more:

Extreme personality changes...which sometimes encompasses the realm of ethical/moral/religious behaviors, mood shifts, depression, seizures...

In infected mice it makes them not afraid of cats.

I'm pretty sure anyone who has had cats and cleaned up after them has been infected. Also anyone who eats pork. I have been exposed to both, so no doubt I have it and I bet you reading this have it to.

Nucking futz yoo

In the not so extreme cases where the parasite lay dormant other common symptoms: muscles spasms, nervous disfunction, numbness and localized swelling where a cyst has formed, headaches, dizziness, appetite change (usually goes with personality changes as well), cycles of rapid weight loss or weight gain, change in sleep patterns, mobility issues, sudden loss of muscle control (usually not chronic but lasts for a duration of month or years)...

I did not notice any thing.
