How Cats Control You with a Parasite - Toxoplasmosis and Its Effects

[link to www.ijaaonline.com]

Zingiber officinale and Sophora flavescens Aiton are some herbs effective for toxoplasmosis treatment

Thank you Scrump!

Epic.
I envisioned Stewie narrating this for some reason.

cats are fucking disgusting, so are the people who keep gangs of them

I got stoned once and thought I heard Lion-O speaking to me. Man that shit was fucking wild.

OK HERE'S MY FINDINGS REGARDING POSSIBLE DEFENCE OR DETOX OF THE BRAIN..

P.S GREAT THREAD THANK YOU.

DMSO
It is an effective pain killer, blocking nerve conduction fibers that produce pain. It reduces inflammation and swelling by reducing inflammatory chemicals. It improves blood supply to an area of injury by dilating blood vessels and increasing delivery of oxygen and by reducing blood platelet stickiness. It stimulates healing, which is a key to its usefulness in any condition. It is among the most potent free radical scavengers known to man, if not the most potent one. This is a crucial mechanism since some molecules in our bodies produce an unequal number of electrons and the instability of the number causes them to destroy other cells. DMSO hooks on to those molecules and they are then expelled from the body with the DMSO.

Dr Stanley Jacob working with DMSO in the 1960s

DMSO also penetrates the skin and the blood-brain barrier with ease, penetrating tissues, and entering the bloodstream. Furthermore, DMSO protects the cells from mechanical damage and less of it is needed to achieve results as time passes as oppossed to most pharmaceuticals where increasing doses are required. It has a calming effect in the central nervous system and it reaches all areas of the body, when absorbed through the skin, including the brain. That is, DMSO applied to one area often leads to pain relief in some other location due to its systemic effect.

It acts as a carrier for other substances or drugs and it also potentiates their effect. In fact, certain drugs dissolved in DMSO, such as corticoids, antibiotics and insulin, may be used in a lower dose than usual without reducing their therapeutic efficacy and in addition, their undesirable side effects are greatly diminished. Also, drugs are able to pass through the blood-brain barrier which is usually impenetrable.

DMSO promotes the excretion of urine and functions as a muscle relaxant. It boosts the immune system, increasing the production of white cells and macrophages that destroy foreign material and pathogens in the body. It also has anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. DMSO also increases the permeability of cell membranes, allowing a flushing of toxins from the cell.

I HAVE BEEN USING DMSO FOR VARIOUS AILMENTS MENTIONED ABOVE,FOR JUST OVER A YEAR NOW.IT REALLY IS AN INCREDIBLE ADDITION TO YOUR MED CABINET.

May I ask how much of it you typically use for types of ailments being treated? I understand it's pretty powerful if applied topically, so I'm curious if it needs to be diluted.

Cats are also vectors of ringworm:

Thanks for this post, quite excellent. I also found the bolded part VERY interesting... it's crossed my mind, in the past, that cats are sometimes 'beamed up'. But adding this whole 'spy tool' thing to it, just really puts the icing on the cake.

I wasn't able to find a whole hell of a lot of interesting stuff in my 'cats in ancient history' search...

It's gonna require some deeper digging, methinks.











Absolutely excellent post as well...

VERY good contributions to this thread, so thanks!

I found the part about black pepper pretty interesting (good thread link there BTW). I crave black pepper.

WTF!

This just gets better and better.

I will be doing ongoing research about this entire topic in my spare time...

It may take a while but I will be sure to share any info I happen upon.

A further thought on this topic just occurred to me...

If cats are a spy tool, and the parasite is an additional spy tool, to get around to where cats may not always be present all the time...

Then I wonder what the rate of toxoplasmosis infection is among people who claim to experience alien abduction.

Cats evolved alongside humans in a unique way.

That is why the Egyptians enjoyed their company so much so.

That is why cats bring us the offerings of their hunt.

We have history.

I love kitteh... and kitteh bugs. Mmmmm, kitteh kitteh.

What about people who are allergic to cats?

Could this be a naturally evolved human survival mechanism to warn us away from getting near them?

Strictly subjective, personal observation here:

Over the decades I have instinctively learned not to trust or get close to anyone who owns cats, or is sentimental about cats. (does not apply to rural landowners who have outdoor barn cats for pest control)

Meet a new coworker, get aquainted, find out she (or he) keeps one or more cats = Distance myself, gut level reaction.

Invariably 'cat people' get drawn into drama, conflict, or self-destructive behaviour.

Dog owners, on the other hand, generally prove reliable and trustworthy.

Now I understand the science behind this.

You know, now that I think about it, almost every cat I've ever had has just come to me. They just show up on my doorstep or someone gives them to me. Random chance or was I their "mission"?

Demon Cat (or D.C.)

is the name given to the ghost of a cat which is purported to haunt the government buildings of Washington, D.C..

The story of the Demon Cat dates back to the days when cats were brought into the basement tunnels of the Capitol buildings to kill rats. Legend states that the Demon Cat is one who never left.

Its home is supposedly the basement crypt of the Capitol which was originally intended as a burial chamber for President George Washington.

According to legend, the cat is seen before presidential elections and tragedies in Washington DC, allegedly being spotted by White House security guards the nights before the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln.

The cat is described as fully black and the size of an average house cat; but witnesses report that the cat swells to "the size of a giant tiger", 10 feet by 10 feet, when alerted.
The cat would then either explode or pounce at the witness, disappearing before it managed to catch its 'victim'.

In the 1890s the cat is said to have inexplicably vanished when some Capitol Hill guards fired at it, and another supposedly died of a heart attack after seeing it.

The last official sighting of the Demon Cat was in the 1940s.

Opie has the Cat Aids!

Very interesting observations...

I've definitely known of a lot of examples of the dog person... they do generally tend to be more laid back.

I do consider myself a cat person, and may be prone to deviousness... but I'm definitely not a fan of drama or conflict!







I've known cats like this as well...

Ones that just show up...

In particular, there was this one black cat I used to know...

He was seemingly psychic, and would show up at random times when his presence was beneficial. He had serious attitude. Not really a lovey type of cat, but once during a Twilight Zone marathon, he did lay on my chest asleep for a few episodes. I didn't dare disturb him, and I was mind controlled to be his willing slave by the parasite.

He was sort of a 'towncat'... he visited different houses, but came to mine the most, I like to think.

Didn't see him for a while, then was talking to the lady at the local bank who said she also took care of him... she said one day this young couple were in the parking lot and he walked up... she said she saw them put him in the car and left... and he was never seen again.

Pretty sure she was lying to me and he got run over or something...

But you never know.

Sometimes I do wonder what became of him... he was a very pretty cat... a total asshole, but lovable at the same time.






LOLWTF??

Okay, that's a weird story.

But the part about it becoming 20 times bigger makes me think maybe it was a shadow...

Does anyone remember a story that came out a few years ago? Genome sequencing of the big cats revealed that one of them (can't remember if it was the leopard or cheetah) had the characteristics of being cloned. I searched briefly but couldn't find the story. This information would support the theory that cats (or some cats) were genetically engineered.

I agree with the poster suggesting "cat people" seem to attract drama. It would make an interesting study.

ceiling cat is watching yer banana masturbate MO!

I will be waiting for the answer. In the mean time I will try and stay busy doing other things.

I had a cat when I was little it slept with me for years had her kittens in my bed. I eat a lot of nutritional yeast loated with vit B's. Have had those systems most of my life. Interesting.

I eat a lot of garlic which has always taken away the symptoms
for a week or two. If I stop they return in a few weeks. I stay on top of this.

Well an organism (our body) is actually a collection symbiotically living organisms. Even down to the cells of our membranes. So if something doesn't "add to the family" or "hurts the collective", your immune system would usually do something about it. If not, then, oh well. In fact, problems like cysts have to do with your immune system overreacting or transacting poorly with some subsystem.

Thus my earlier question about cat allergies.

Perhaps those of us who are allergic to cats do have a healthy response warning us away from them.

cool thread by the way.

Cats Rules Of Life

Although cats are the best and most wonderful creatures on this planet, they are quite bizzare... After Conspiring with the Cats Association for Taking over Earth (CATE), I have managed to steal some Top Secret information about the mysterious guardians of the underworld. This is their rules of life (that every cat MUST stick to) in order to take over the world! But how these rules will help to achieve their objectives still remains a total mystery to humans.

BATHROOMS:
Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare but occasionally rub their legs.

DOORS:
Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get door open, stand looking sad at the humans. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door opened, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is particularly important during very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito season.

CHAIRS AND RUGS:
If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, shag is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so it is as long as a humans bare foot or expensive clothing.

HAMPERING:
If one of your humans is engaged in some activity and the other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping," otherwise known as "hampering." Following are the rules for "hampering:"
When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and then picked up and comforted.
For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book, unless you can lie across the book itself.
For paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work as possible or at least. Pretend to doze, but every so often reach out and slap the pencil or pen. Bite when you're moved on.
When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to jump on the back of the paper. Humans love to jump.
MOST IMPORTANT When human is working at computer, jump up on desk, walk across keyboard and write a short story. Bat at mouse pointer on screen as if it were real. Then lay in human's lap across arms, hampering typing in progress.
WALKING:
As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in front of the human, especially: on stairs, when they have something in their arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This will help their co-ordination skills.

BEDTIME:
Always sleep on the human at night so he/she cannot move around. Even better- lie on his or hers face, making sure your arse is right on their nose. When she is wearing an expensive silk nightie, don't forget to paw it. This will create lovely patterns!

LITTER BOX:
When using the litter box, be sure to kick as much litter out of the box as possible. Humans love the feel of kitty litter between their toes. The smell is also very attractive.

HIDING:
Every now and then, hide in a place where the humans cannot find you for a few days. This will cause the humans to panic (which they love) thinking that you have run away or are lost. Once you do come out, the humans will cover you with love and kisses and you will probably get a treat.

SLEEPING:
In order to have enough energy for playing, a cat must get plenty of sleep (at least 16 hours per day). It is generally not difficult to find a comfortable place to curl up. Any place a human likes to sit is good, especially if it contrasts with your fur color.
If it's in a sunbeam or near a heating duct or radiator, so much the better. Of course, good places also exist outdoors, but have the disadvantages of being seasonal and dependent on current and previous weather conditions such as rain. Open windows are a good compromise.

HUMANS:
Humans have three primary functions: to feed us, to play with and give attention to us, and to clean the litter box. It is important to maintain one's Dignity when around humans so that they will not forget who is the master of the house. Humans need to know basic rules. They can be taught if you start early and are consistent. You will then have a smooth-running household.

FOOD:
In order to get the energy to sleep, play, and hamper, a cat must eat. Eating, however, is only half the fun. The other half is getting the food. Cats have two ways to obtain food: convincing a human you are starving to death and must be fed NOW; and hunting for it oneself. The following are guidelines for getting fed.
When the humans are eating, make sure you leave the tip of your tail in their dishes when they are not looking.

Never eat food from your own bowl if you can steal some from the table.

Never drink from your own water bowl if a human's glass is full enough to drink from.

Should you catch something of your own outside, it is only polite to attempt to get to know it. Be insistent -- your food will usually not be so polite and try to leave.

Table scraps are delicacies with which the humans are unfortunately unwilling to readily part. It is beneath the Dignity of a cat to beg outright for food as lower forms of life such as dogs will, but several techniques exist for ensuring that the humans don't forget you exist. These include, but are not limited to: jumping onto the lap of the "softest" human and purring loudly; lying down in the doorway between the dining room and the kitchen, the Direct Stare, and twining around people's legs as they sit and eat while meowing plaintively.

Not My Work ;)

How about having a simple blood test done? Generally when a person is infected with a parasite, then on assay there is a marked increase in immunoglobulins. The kind of infection tends to cause certain increases in specific ones based upon the length of infection. Of course that's not very specific, but then they can follow up.

The 2nd one is peer-reviewed.

In truth there's a higher incidence rate among cat owners in the US, particularly elderly folks as they have more immune system compromise. I researched this once, and it was shockingly high. Now what might happen is you might detect antibodies, which means you were exposed at some point, but not necessarily is it on-going.

Then there are the creatures who live in our eyelash follicles, and the Museam Beatles who live on taxidermied animals and eat the skin or hair of both. In Africa there is the horrible parasite you get by drinking contaminated water and the tiny eggs turn into worms that live in the humans' eyeballs.

I think I have toxoplasmosis too, I had a test for it and it came back inconclusive whatever that means. I was having the symptoms listed by Mr. Obvious and I always wondered what that meant that the test was inconclusive, I was living in Netherlands at the time.

I'm probably slightly nuts, but now I wonder about all this, and almost wish I hadn't seen this thread.

verified by wikipedia ? lmao, your a joke MO.
