Upon re-reading the analysis in Live Science, I would like to point out another easy-to-miss (and in my opinion tragically incorrect) assumption since that assumption contradicts logic, yet it conforms to the "classic" view (i.e. the tissue cyst is "harmless").

Live Science:

"Infection with T. gondii triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to fight off the infection, called toxoplasmosis. Most people, except those who have weakened immune systems or are pregnant, can easily control toxoplasmosis and subsequently don't develop any symptoms.[<— okay so no symptoms, right?] In fact, more than 40 million adults in the U.S. are estimated to be infected with T. gondii, though the vast majority don't know it. However, the parasite often remains in the body — for example, as slow-growing cysts in muscle and brain tissues that trigger low levels of chronic immune activation and the upregulation of pro-inflammatory molecules called cytokines."

[<— so, according to this, it is the immune system causing the problem because it is for some reason is reacting to those totally harmless tissue cysts, silly immune system, doesn't know it's harmless. Never mind the fact that there is a protozoan parasite hanging out there and multiplying, stealing nutrients, etc. As if our bodies ever do anything for no reason!!! On the practical side, I bet that the moment the industry makes something to sell against bradyzoite form of toxo, they will say (accurately, in my opinion) that they are not harmless.. But they will not say it until they sort out the sales part!]

Great point!!!! It is always the human body that is to blame.

Imagine someone is attacked. They put up a fight and get injured. The doctor is called and the doctor blames the person for resisting the attack. If only they had just accepted their fate, they wouldn't have all these injuries. .. 🤔🤷

Yep makes perfect sense!!!!

Exactly!!! It's like excusing a robber and blaming the person who is trying to deflect the robber!

What needs very close scrutiny is... that's actually happening in the "law enforcement" circles!! Self defense is becoming a criminal act!!!

Do you believe there are any good solutions for toxoplasmosis?

Expand full comment

ancient people, did cleanses in spring and fall...often with anti parasitic herbs, like the zinc ionophore wormwood. wormwood does some interesting things with iron --that kill both cancer cells and parasites. you should not take it every day tho.....traditional parasite cleanses, could do the trick. hulda b. clarke has a good one....or you could grow your own.

Thanks for the recommendation, I appreciate it! I would love to know if any research or anecdotal evidence suggests it has healed people from toxoplasmosis though.

You cannot avoid being unique. if i were you, i would experiment, if i thought i had mersa, for example, and i do...i would take sheppards purse. try different parasite cleanses. i probably have toxo, my entire family does. i find different people need different herbs. garlic prevents a quorum, in some . so combining that with other herbs is a good idea. even parasites have community. biofilms are real. molds and fungi play key roles...but which one? if you grow your own plants they can better know what needs you have. they are master chemists. no one size will ever fit all or even most.

Make your own CLO2!! It's simple, cheap, easy and... it's works!!! That's why the Pharma Mob suppresses it!!! And why Jim Humble had to turn himself into a church!! Wikipedia hits it with some big(!) hammers!!! And...Dr. Kalkers instructional videos have all but disappeared!!

Expand full comment

healing is not possible, in the way i think you mean it. toxo will always be with you. you can give yourself a fighting chance to be you and not, it. it can be repressed. but will always be waiting....the human body only lasts a short time. do not expect too much of it. all you can do is buy time.

I'd be willing to bet that, since toxoplasma gondii is a parasite... ivermectin and fenbendazole would get rid of it!!

I wish that were true, but like many creatures it is pleomorphic, and has forms very hard to kill.

Your explanation makes sense. I keep thinking about it and re evaluating my beliefs. I find this process of seeking the truth very fascinating.

A few thoughts:

1. Contagion: I believe that people may or not be susceptible to contagion depending on their situation (physically, emotionally, energetically, beliefs, spiritual evolution etc. ). There have been accounts of spiritually advanced people doing amazing things. For the vast majority of people though, I'd say contagion is a possibility and we might be best served by aknowledging and respecting this fact.

2. Fear is a natural part of the human experience that insures our survival. It is necessary and useful.

On the other hand, the psychological fears that have been imposed upon us, keep us locked in a cage and diminish our quality of life. Those are completely unnecessary.

There's a difference between healthy fear in the presence of a potential danger and being bombarded 24/7 with messages that create anxiety or maybe even panic...

I agree, Deby, and thank you for expressing it so eloquently.

"Fear" does not(!) "insure our survival"!!! It only serves as emergency activator of immediate threat avoidance!! Fear shuts down the cognitive/thinking process which is actually what "insures our survival"!! That's why tyrants and other criminals use it to control people!!!

About the only thing Frank ever said that was true is... "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!"

Expand full comment

The way I see it: the fight or flight response is a survival mechanism. It optimizes our bodies to react in an emergency. It does shut down the cognitive process because, during an emergency, it's probably best to rely on reactions we have successfully used/ learned in the past.

The problem with all this is that people who want to control us have highjacked this normal reaction. They have created a situation where we are constantly in fear, where the sympathetic nervous system is always activated and -of course I agree completely - where we cannot think clearly and decide consciously.

To give a practical example, if I see a speeding car coming towards me, I absolutely would like to be energized by the flight or fight response and get out of the way without wasting time to think.

Sometimes fear might make us freeze, of course. I see that as a consequence of unheeled trauma and not necessarily a problem with fear itself.

Expand full comment

I think it may be more "the fear itself" than it seems!! I've been in situations where fear would have definitely been counter productive!! In such moments I tend to go into an extreme focus state and actually get so calm that I function almost without error!!

I know what you mean! We can definitely control our emotional state and respond productively.

If parasite similar to organism causing malaria, then ivermectin might help. Your entire premise would explain why ivermectin helps so many things

I’ve recently started following the work of Laura Senger. (She writes about a lot of crazy stuff like nephslim hosts) But she too is convinced that parasites not only plague most of us but that some might even control us in various ways!). At any rate, she posted a natural cleanse for “everyday, healthy” people that includes daily shots of lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a couple OTC cleanse supplements. I did it (took about ?4? months to go through it). I’m generally pretty healthy so I didn’t feel huge changes but I certainly didn’t feel bad doing it and it’s kinda a piece of mind. I’m traveling now but if anyone is interested I’d be happy to find her suggestions when I’m home and post them here.

Thank you, Beth!! I am happy to check out anything you want to share!

In general, my feel about it is that it is good to go through detoxing / antifungal / antiparasitic routines when healthy (in a balanced way, lol), and there is not "one size fits all" anything. People may have individual allergies, unique microbiomes, what not. So one has to really sort it out from the inside and hopefully talk to good, honest, naturopathic doctors!!

Thank You, Tessa.

We have been weakened by junk foods and junk lifestyle indoors, looking at screens.

Our normal defenses are bolstered by a diverse microbiome of gut flora, which is a line of defense. Our immune systems need vitamin-D from sunlight to function normally. We don't get enough potent sunlight. We are trained to take in refined sugars and harmful chemicals, which leave us with cravings for what we are not getting, so we eat and drink more industrial-food-like-products.

This leaves us open to buying pharmaceutical products.

If only there were some way to remediate this predicament!

:-o

Merry Christmas! Fruitful and productive 2024!

Random thoughts … I like where you are going with this. I have similar thoughts on westerners and parasites from you and other authors. I do worry if toxo gets blame, what will happen to all the pet cats? Will people dump them? Will people try and outlaw? Landlords? Etc. I learned a lot about various dementias (the umbrella term) over the past 13 years. Docs know more now, but not as much as they might try to lead you to believe. Heaven help us if toxo, herpes, shingles, gingiv, result in dementia. That is probably most of the US population. How can we get “them” off the vax train!? Ofc just say no. But if they keep making them, some freaks are going to want to physically force people to take them. We really need to get the human body back to the fighting machine it is made to be. Oh last thing. Any suggestions on suspected-toxo detox?

Also elder care facilities sometimes have cats. Residents love them.

Good points, I am not your Other!!!

I just responded about cats in another thread, here is the link. I think the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, and by now, there are many more ways to get it. There have also been studies about horizontal transmission some years ago, then they mostly disappeared. https://tessa.substack.com/p/study-correlates-inflammaging-with-toxo/comment/45984637

Tessa, are you familiar with the story of Jennifer Daniels? I learned of her terpene protocol years ago but forgot about it until just now:

Seems to me it would fork for T. gondii infestations. Apparently it got her license yanked:

Your article is fascinating to me. I really think you are "right on" with your thoughts and theories. I say this because of my own health journey. I was a sick kid on tons of antibiotics for respiratory stuff. I am now 56. Throughout the decades my gut has been bad and I continued with respiratory infections. Despite this I still felt relatively healthy and was active skiing, backpacking, working too hard in my career. Then I got (never tested-but probably) Covid. I was already low weight for 20 years but lost MORE weight and went into menopause. Ever since my health has declined. I got the fungal infection Histoplasmosis last spring and am frail (low weight and sense I don't have nearly the resilience I used to have). Interestingly I had a gut test last spring and it showed this gondii parasite. The results said I either had a present infection or had had one previously. It is uncanny how you describe what seems to be going on with me. I am a sensitive person who can tell this thing will continue to weaken me and put my in an early grave if I don't reverse it. I am in the process of working on healing. I have hired a woman who specializes in treating fungal, bacterial, parasitical and all manner of gut problems.

Thank you for helping me to put more pieces together and validate my own similar theories.

Don't forget Epstein-Barr virus, whether it is a virus or not, ( to go along with the viruses don't exist people ), the symptoms and remedies for EB currently fit my state of decomposition pretty well, and adding anti- EB strategies to my comprehensive background health approach seems to help. As long as I stick to remedies like essential oils and herbs and red light therapy, which are probably also effective against toxo and a myriad of other possibilities, it doesn't matter so much whether viruses exist. What matters is that I have a pretty good model that is guiding me in a productive way. Just looking for improvement. We are all experiments with N=1.

Tessa, what an amazing discovery. Imagine that a simple toxo "bug" could be responsible for the general malaise (feeling lousy) of millions of elderly people. You may become the patron saint of senior citizens. The scary thing about this is that Big Pharma will probably see this as another opportunity to jab people with another so-called mRNA vaccine. The eugenicists will not like the possibility of lengthening old peoples' lives should reliable diagnostics and a real cure become available. You have done wonders, again.

Good article. Yes, isn’t everything so much about keeping people ignorant and fearful—for control & profit, of course? Excluding many trauma emergency care & surgical procedures to save life after an “injury,” I believe almost ALL methods most doctors are educated about for treating disease is completely flawed. In fact, manmade disease-creating followed by bogus big-Pharma “treat the symptoms” totally corrupt—for profit. It’s one of the main reasons I left the medical field for good and now just do clinical research.

I’m currently doing a deep dive into the use of Chlorine Dioxide as a method for eliminating the root cause of many pathogenic, metabolic, inflammatory related illnesses, but also in conjunction with correcting what most believe is good or healthy for you; removing grains & flour, many vegetables, processed foods and seed oils out of the human diet while going back to some fruits, grass-feed beef, K2 & sheep dairy, as well as real free-range eggs, particularly egg yolks. I’m convinced this method is far superior to vegan diets or the use of antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatments, for everything from toenail fungus, heart disease, Lyme Dz, HIV, COVID and even cancer. But because of the “fear” being spread about so many “natural, cheap solutions” that actually “cure” disease, such as herbal supplementation, Vit D & C, Chlorine Dioxide (which is NOT Bleach), many fall right back into the “fear trap,” strapping on their face masks and standing in line for their next bogus boosters. Yes, I am anti-Vaxx.

New to Chlorine Dioxide? This vid will blow your mind wide awake—while sparing you from WOKE Dz.
