Scientists find 'unknown link' between lung cancer and common parasite (Active or latent Toxoplasma Gondii found in 100% of lung cancer patients (72/72))
Medical XPress / University of Salford / European Respiratory Journal ^ | May 30, 2019 | Jaroslav Bajnok et al

Posted on 11/02/2021 9:01:23 PM PDT by ConservativeMind

Toxoplasma gondii, a microscopic parasite that gets inside our cells, is present in about 10 percent of the population in the U.K.

But in tests on lung cancer patients, all were found to be infected with the parasite.

"It's a remarkable result which we don't fully understand yet," states Geoff Hide, Professor of Parasitology at the University of Salford. "It is possible that the presence of the parasite in these patients is exacerbating their symptoms of cancer or interfering with their therapy."

Working with Professor Dave Singh, clinical consultant at the Medicines Evaluation Unit at Manchester University, they tested 72 tissue samples from patients diagnosed with lung cancer and found the parasite in all of them.

Further analysis of parasite life-cycle stages suggested that 96 percent of these patients had active infections. Control samples returned only a 10 percent positive match, consistent with the national average.

Reporting in the Journal the European Respiratory Journal (Open Research), the team conducted diagnostic tests using five Toxoplasma specific PCR markers and specific immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the infection was present in lung biopsy samples.

T. gondii is capable of infecting virtually all warm-blooded animals, and is commonly acquired by consuming raw meat or infected water or soil or handling cat litter. It can also be transmitted from mother to unborn baby and induce miscarriage.

First thing I thought. Also thinking of my brother who died 2.5 years ago from lung cancer.

I have been meaning to try to find an article (I only read the headline on a few months ago) that stated ivermectin may kill certain cancer cells.

Also if applicable I’ve wondered over these past months if ivermectin had been used on a large scale basis as a Covid therapeutic, as should have been done, what other diseases could it have possibly have been shown to help.

Parasites

Dr. Clark was known worldwide for her knowledge about and expertise on parasites.

She was the first to recognize that one does not get parasites only in tropical countries. Parasites can cause great damage to the human body, weakening our immune system and cause disease.Only the adult stage is the one that should “normally” live in humans (and then only in the intestine). Instead Dr. Clark realized that the human species are now heavily infested with parasites. Globalization has also given its contribution to this. Global travel reduces our planet to the size of our backyards and in order to keep our own backyards clean, the neighbors must keep backyards clean too. So it is with keeping our bodies free of viruses, bacteria and parasites. We all must be free of them. We can do this electrically with zapping and Parasite Cleanse which removes more than 120 species of parasites without any side effects.

For more obstinate parasites such as ascaris and tapeworms, refer to the Mop-up Program

BUT WHAT IS A PARASITE?

A parasite is a tiny organism that lives on or in another host organism and is fed at the expense of its host. In other words the parasites that live inside us use up our vitamins, proteins and all other nutrients. Not only do they do this, they also do their “business” inside us releasing their toxic bacteria and viruses inside us.

There are three principal groups that cause sickness in humans:

PROTOZOA – unicellular microscopic organisms such as plasmodium, cryptosporidium or entamoeba
HELMINTHES – multicellular organisms visible to the human eye such as flatworms (trematodes), cestodes (tapeworms), acantocepalins e round worms (nematodes)
ECTOPARASITES – bigger insects – these act as vectors transmitting illness such as ticks, lice and mites

Heavy parasitism is caused also by the water and food we take in.

Flatworms such as Trematodes (Flukes) are small suckers that attach themselves to our tissues, suck and release eggs. They can release from 25’000 to 50’000 eggs per day
MAIN FLUKES MENTIONED BY DR CLARK

FASCIOLOPSIS BUSKI:
Associated with intestinal problems such as colitis, Crohn’s , endometriosis, HIV and the malignant part of cancer

FASCIOLA HEPATICA:
Liver parasite associated with Crohn’s disease, chronic fatigue, allergies

EURYTREMA PANCREATICUM:
Pancreatic parasite associated with diabetes and a low immunity

CLONORCHIS:
Liver parasite associated with Crohn’s disease, chronic fatigue, allergies. Can cause carcinoma of the bile ducts and liver

PARAGONIMUS:
Lung parasite associated with Pneumocystis carnii, EBV and CMV
NEMATODES (roundworms)

DIROFILARIA:
Dog heartworm associated with migraine headache and heart disorders

ASCARIS:
Biggest intestinal parasite. About 1 billiard people worldwide are infected. Many children as it come from the soil, food and feces. They can stay in our body asymptomatic for many years while robbing us of our copper and iron, weakening our bones. Releases 200,000 eggs per day.
Associated with herpes, eczema, psoriasis, joint and muscle disorders, allergies, swollen eyelids, indigestion and inflammation, anemia, coxsackie virus, adenovirus, mycobacterium, mumps. Its larval stages are associated with lung disorder , seizures and asthma.

TAPEWORM STAGES (Cestodes – flatworm):
The head called the scolex has 4 vents that attach themselves and absorb our nutrients . The neck produces segments and each segment produces eggs. A segment can produce up to 50’000 eggs and an adult Taenia solium can have up to 1000 segments and grow up to 7 meters.
Associated with colds. Produces malonic acid that inhibits the Krebs Cycle and produces harmful bacteria.

SHISTOSOMA:
Bladder parasites associated with bladder disorders

ANCYLOSTOMA:
The species that infect man are the Ancylostoma Duodenum and the Necatore Americanus.

They can come in through our skin and go preferably to the duodenum. They cause bleeding, anemia, arthritis, joint and muscle pains, schizophrenia and intestinal problems.

STRONGYLOIDE:
Associated 100% with headaches, arthritis, joint and muscle pain.

ENTEROBIUS VERMICULARIS:
Infects about 09 million people worldwide. Comes from food, water and dust. They live in the colon and the females make up to 15000 worms.

TRICHINELLA:
From meat and pets.
Muscle parasite that causes joint and muscle pain. Associated with fibromyalgia and brings bacteria such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Costridium and Camphylobacter. It can also go to the muscle of the eye.

Copyright notice – Excerpts taken from “The Cure of all Diseases” written by Dr. Clark

Dr. Clark was the first to realize that we are heavily infested with parasites. Man has always had parasites and the normal cycle is that our immune system should eliminate them. What causes them instead to dwell and thrive in us in all their larval stages?

Dr. Clark shows us that just as man has food preferences, parasites, which are also living things, have their own food preferences and have adapted to the solvents and metals in our environment much more quickly than their human hosts. Parasites are also strongly associated with food allergies.

This is bad news for us because parasites will use up our food, our vitamins, and our minerals while releasing their own harmful bacteria, metals, viruses, toxins, and other waste products in us.

The healthy of us have few, the sick have many parasites.

Unfortunately, globalization is deciding for us how our food should be sterilized, how our water should be cleaned, and the purity standards for our food supplements.
In order to stay healthy, it is vital that we return to nature as much as possible, preparing food from scratch and finding clean sources of water.

For humans it is also the food and water that decides our health and whether we are heavily parasitized and destined to a life of low energy and lots of medicine.
PARASITE FOOD PREFERENCES
FASCIOLOPSIS BUSKI :

Food requirement: onion
Preferred solvent: alcohol isopropyl
FASCIOLA HEPATICA:

Food requirement: wheat (partly digested into gluten and gladin)
EURYTHREMA PANCREATICUM:

Food requirement: LIMONENE- found in lemons, orange oil, pine needles, peppermint etc
Preferred solvent: methanol
CLONORCHIS:

Food requirement: oats
STRONGYLOIDES:

Food requirement: potatoes
DIROFILARIA:

Food requirement: milk sugar
ASCARIS:

Food requirement: QUERCITIN - found also in cantaloupe, cheese, cucumbers etc
ONCHOCERCA:

Food requirement: corn
PARAGONISMUS:

Food requirement: lemon
Preferred solvent: benzene
ECHINOPORYPHIUM RECURVATUM AND GASTROTHYLAX:

Food requirement: cinnamon
ECHINOSTOMA REVOLUTUM:

Food requirement: sorghum, acetaldehyde

By eliminating these foods for 3 weeks you will have starved most of your parasites. You can then start to introduce one food once a week.

Also food oils need to be eliminated until the body has digested all the accumulated food oils. Food oils are the food for most Oncoviruses which are released by parasites and give immortality to cancer cells and to bacteria cells. You can help to remove accumulated food oils by taking enzymes such as pancreatin-lipase or digestive enzymes.

Parasites also trigger our food allergies. Allergies open the door to inflammation, which opens the door to more bacteria and viruses.

I had a large pine tree go bad, and it was infested with pine beetles. So it would easy to conclude they killed it. But what really happened was the tree’s base was covered by 8 inches of new top soil when that area was sodded, and the pine beetles just went after a SICKLY TREE. So could be the case here where this parasite just swarms onto sickly tissue.

Yes this is the parasite that prevents pregnant woman from handling cat feces. Which puts quite a dent in the national pastime.

You have to get the infection, first. You can’t spontaneously make T. Gondi in your body.

It’s equivalent to having a tick—just more common. No one is immune to it.

Even ivermectin cannot eliminate this. It can only help beat down a currently active infection into becoming latent.

Once you get T. Gondii, you will never get rid of it. Nothing can fully clear it from our bodies.

It’s like HIV. It is always there.

Which is better than nothing.

I remember that you suggested that to me back in September. I did the research as you recommend in this post. What an eye opener. I thank you very much for your advice.

My wife is the one with unmethylated Glioblastoma Grade IV. I was able to find human grade fenbendazole and put my wife on it during the last week of her radiation and chemo. She has been on fenbendazole for about 6 weeks. She is taking the every day regiment and has had zero side effects.

At the end of her 6 week radiation/chemo treatments, the doctors warned us that the remaining tumor would look larger due to the swelling caused by the treatments. The MRI they took a month after the treatments showed that the spot where the tumor had changed significantly. It is now called “inclusion” rather than tumor. It was also 40% smaller than in the last MRI, rather than larger as they predicted. That wasn’t supposed to happen. It was so small that they could not tell if it was cancer or damage from the 30 rounds of radiation. The oncologist was surprised at the results and verbally said so.

I have no idea if it is really working or if the standard treatments did well out of shear good luck. I will need follow up MRIs to show if the trend continues. If the inclusion disappears, I would have to say that the fenbendazole was the key. This very well may have saved her life.

I highly recommend that people take your advice and do the research. There is plenty out there, even clinical trials.

Most definitely, and why I posted the article.

Beat the problem down to possibly help kill the cancer.

"Derouin and Chastang (9) investigated the in vitro effects of folate inhibitors on T. gondii grown in MRC5 fibroblast tissue culture found that three sulfonamides and four dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors have important inhibitory effects on T. gondii. They studied sulphadiazine at 0.001, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 2, 10, and 20 μg/mL concentrations, the %50 inhibitory concentration estimated from the regression model was 2.5 μg/mL for sulphadiazine.

Ivermectin is a derivative of the avermectins, a family of macrocyclic lactones produced by the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. With ivermectin, we found a significant inhibitory effect for concentrations 2.5 and 5 μg/mL (p<0.001), and a slight inhibitory effect for 0.15, 0.3, 0.6 and 1.25 μg/mL (p<0.01) and no inhibitory effect for 0.035 and 0.07 μg/mL (p>0.3) at 48 h incubation. The 50% IC50 of ivermectin was estimated to be 0.27 μg/mL [OD=358.38–23.35 ln(c)] after 48 h of exposure. Our in vitro results obtained with ivermectin are in agreement with the studies performed by Guzzo et al. (10).

Our results indicated that ivermectin significantly inhibited replication of the tachyzoites of T. gondii RH strain. Therefore, the present study results may be useful for further studies in combination with other drugs and animal models to develop a better treatment model for toxoplasmosis in humans."
