It seems as though the effect of parasites on cancers (and human health in general) is massively underrated. Modern medicine seems to approach diseases as being either bacterial or viral, and it seems parasites are ignored except in obvious cases. Yet livestock is typically de-wormed twice a year, and farmers de-worm their families twice a year too! So why do most doctors know next to nothing about parasites?

So the fact that most people have never de-wormed themselves in their life is kind of interesting to think about. And some of these parasites could live in your body for your whole life, and what those parasites excrete could be toxic in a way that builds up and causes cancer. Think about all the different things people eat throughout their life, it only takes one infection.

Some classes of fungus are similar to parasites in the way they're ignored by medicine. Like the "candida" infection most people have, it's a yeast which is a fungus. It makes you literally crave sugar. When the candida parasites in your intestines are deprived of sugar, they emit a hormone that makes you as a human being crave sugar to eat. So if you try to stop eating sugar you feel very bad. I saw a report of someone taking ivermectin and then all their sugar cravings permanently stopped, after a life of craving sugar. Because the parasite was dead for the first time ever.

How many cravings are driven by parasites like this?

And this is wild, but to take it a step farther, imagine you own a huge international sugar company and you want to sell as much sugar as possible, and you know about candida infections. From a profit perspective, it would be logical to encourage candida to flourish across the human population, and to downplay or diminish any anti-parasitics or anti-fungals that might reduce candida infections in humans, because that will instantly result in a loss of sales of sugar. The parasitic sugar salesman literally relies on candida parasites to prop up his profit model. Infections = profit. Seriously, the people who own the sugar industry must know this, right?

And then there's toxoplasmosis... worlds most common parasite, humans get it from cat feces and bad food. It's estimated 60% of humans are infected by this parasite. But does anyone take anti-parasitics for it? No... Even though we know in mice it causes brain changes resulting reckless and dangerous behavior that increases the chance of cats eating the mouse so the cat can get infected which increases the toxoplasmosis spread.... yet somehow when 60% of humans have it we just shrug it off? Why?

I've read from some people who take ivermectin that they feel extremely clear-minded after their first dose. Which makes sense given the hormone influence of the parasites over the human brain. But the first dose clears you out and additional doses don't give a similar mental boost. A lot of people also report having a lot of energy like 24 hours after they take it, which again makes sense if parasites are literally stealing the nutrients from your food, as well as your body having to deal with the parasites and their waste materials.

I also read about Black Walnut oil being good for killing parasites, it's an older treatment that works well and is cheap and easily available. Apparently on old farms a century ago families used to drink kerosene to de-worm, thank god we don't have to do that anymore.

I learned all that in the last few weeks, so I figured I'd share.

in India, where the delta variant came from, they had a massive black fungus problem, it was reported on a little bit. I don't think delta existed, it was just regular covid, but covid is more dangerous when someone has a comorbidity, and fungus can and does weaken the immune system.

Interesting thought. In South Texas there is a lot of black mold in houses and air conditioning systems because the humidity levels and temperatures are always so high. I often wonder how that impacts general health.

Mold is everywhere. I'm always fighting leaks in my basement. Trying to seal them. I notice dehumidifiers are all sold out right now. I think there is a lot more rain cuz of climate change and this summer was very rainy in particular.

Maybe I should get a dehumidifier. I guess A/C helps dehumidify, but not enough to get rid of the mold.

I need to get one but yeah going to home depots website or ebay or whatever all the good ones are unavailable right now. A hurricane happened this year and they went quick. I want a 70 pint one for my size basement. It might also have to do with a chip shortage and supply issues. Down south they don't have basements, they have the right idea.

Weird. It seems certain random things are completely out of stock at random times. I don't know if it's because of all the shipments at sea not being able to unload or what. Which I hear is itself a manufactured crisis.

Yeah down south we can't have basements because they always crack and flood lol. Would be nice to have during tornado season though
