About a third of the worlds population is chronically infected with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest that about 11% of the U.S. population aged 6 years and over is infected with the parasite, while in other countries the infection rate has been shown to be up to 95%.
Researchers from 16 institutions across the U.S., Canada, England, Scotland, and Australia have now analyzed genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data from infected individuals, and from studies in cell cultures, to link T. gondii infection with a number of brain disorders, including epilepsy, Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseases, and even some cancers. "This study is a paradigm shifter," stated co-author Dennis Steindler, Ph.D., director of the Neuroscience and Aging Lab at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. "We now have to insert infectious disease into the equation of neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, and neural cancers. At the same time, we have to translate aspects of this study into preventive treatments that include everything from drugs to diet to lifestyle, in order to delay disease onset and progression."
Most people with a healthy immune system will develop no symptoms from infection with T. gondii. Individuals with compromised immune systems, however, are at risk from potentially far more serious complications of the infection that can affect the eyes, brain, and other organs. A pregnant mother who becomes infected can also pass the parasite to her unborn child, with severe, potentially fatal consequences.
Prior research has indicated that T. gondii infection in rodents and in primates can cause subtle behavior changes, including loss of the animals aversion to the smell of the urine of their natural predators. Some epidemiological studies in humans have linked T. gondii infection with neurological...

Next time you get a blood test you could ask for it. Not too expensive

Not sure what good it would do to test for it if not an active infection.
You can get it from meat. Not sure what else besides meat and cats.
Ever since I retired I want to sit around and drink beer and smoke cigars all day. I am spending more time with the cat. Hmmm?
Rice frequency device kills it:
Toxoplasmosis Gondii : 0.17, 0.32, 32.50, 47.50, 60.00, 125.71
Latent Toxoplasmosis and Human

Could Toxoplasma gondii have any role in Alzheimer disease?

Do you mean Rife’s frequency device.
A family member tried to use one who had cancer.
You bring up an interesting point re cat ownership.
My MIL had Alzheimer’s and she hated cats. She and her husband had Cocker Spaniels until their last child became an adult and left home.
A current friend with Alzheimer’s was/is allergic to cats.
None of our friends, relatives, in laws with Parkinson’s has/had cats. In fact they are real dog people. Whenever, a dog goes to doggie heaven, they get a new one.
“My parents both had / have Alzheimers. They never had a cat.”
Were your parents like my MIL and our current friend with Alzheimer’s, disgustingly healthy until the Alzheimer’s came?
Subtract mass immigration from the equation and America’s infection rate probably drops to zero.
Here are different Rife gizmos.

If I remember correctly, our family member who had one had a visitor who had Alzheimers. Had to be shut off because it created unwell feelings in said person.
Cancer patient did not fully utilize it to it’s full use. Probably quackery but can’t say based on that person’s experience since not used as it should have been. In other words, didn’t kill the cancer. Didn’t prolong life since died at almost the exact day as indicated in first diagnosis...which was wild.
“Yet again we learn that cats are evil creatures of darkness - they carry this parasite.”
I think we’re all in trouble then.
Interesting. After Dad died Mom got an inside cat for company. Ten years later she had Alzheimer’s. Who knows?
Well, gee!
Knock me over with a feather!
What do you know about that?!?
Such an odd coincidence.
Who would have thought such a thing?
And as I read this, my big, black tomcat is happily purring on my lap.
Yeah, he’s not going ANYWHERE. :P
This is my shocked face ——>
A simple blood test can check for this parasite, and there are drugs that can get rid of it for you. As the article makes clear, most people will not appear to have immediate symptoms from it, but long, slow brewing damage, particularly in the brain, could be happening.
Isn't that common in cats too?
My six cats have Alzheimer’s. They are constantly forgetting they just had treats moments ago and insist they need some.
I am familiar only with the Rife Beam Ray.
I know two people who were cured using it *after* chemo/radiation failed.
One had prostate cancer - 2 months cured.
One had merkel cell carcinoma - 2 months cured.
Quackery is when a guy in a white costume gives you radiation and poison drugs and most of his patients die a humiliating death.
To each their own.
Pretty sure the Beam Ray is what was used with our family member. I remember back then it was crazy expensive but money was no object. I think the pulsating lights is what caused the problem with the Alzheimer’s person not the actual frequency range.
Looking at the stats of that site it isn’t as good as some of the others but haven’t really looked into it.
I do remember the lights effected me. Can’t remember if good or bad.
