Great, something else to worry about....
He never did give tips for treatment like he said he would!
I would try SWEET ANNE plant also called Artemisia Anua. It kills Malaria parasite, so it would most likely kill this one also.
a cliff hanger inside a cliff hanger, super
TOTALLY!
Please for those already infected what should they do ?
What the hell, Dr. Greger! Such a cliff hanger, I got nutritionfacts blue balls
🤣😂🤣
😂 😂
Lmao
Good important topic but why does he talk so strange
As a healthcare worker for over 22 years, and science fiction writer, once asked a Doctor friend of mine what he thought about the possability of parasitic infections contributing to personality disorders. And he was very excited to engage in that conversation, as he had been studying that subject for many years. Hailing from a country with a less developed healthcare system, he had expirienced many phsychological disorders in poor people with severe parasitic infections. Without getting into to much detail, he assured my inquiry to be very true, as well as my fear of parasites. I think doctors should correctly diagnose mental illness, but also look into the cause. As killing a parasite may be quicker than a lifetime of disabeling medications, and institutionalization. And wouldnt that also be much cheaper to treat?
I agree. Recently diagnosed with a glioma. Was wondering how that even happened. I just read a few days ago, that Toxoplasma, can cause brain cancer, especially gliomas. I grew up with lots of cats and two dogs. I'm guessing I could have had a parasitic infection that didn't show any symptoms, until the tumour itself started to make its presence felt. There could be something here. It could explain why some cancers go away with anti parasitic meds.
@@parvez7106 I wish you all the best. And I hope they find a cure very soon.
Thank you!
If you would say more on this subject I would appreciate it!
Microbial driven diseases is a fantastic subject that should be addressed so that everyone is informed to live a much more productive and happy life!
I really want to live longer than a hundred as long as I’m productive and happy!
I’m 63 and hate cat pee! So my immune system is not to compromised, but all it takes to drop my immune system is a fall or sickness!
Thank you again for what you do for all of us!👏
Microbiology is the most fascinating subject to me, and nutrition. This video is a dream, can't wait for the next part!
The scariest thing of all? It turns you into a crazy cat-person.
This is absolutely terrifying.
Then let me ruin your life...
Rabies, Staphylococcus aureus (which is responsible for staph infections) ringworm, cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, bartonellosis, hookworms (researchers are now finding a link between infection and developmental delays and cognitive impairment in children) and of course the before mentioned; "toxoplasmosis."
And guess where you can get all of this?

thanks, very helpful content
Não disse nada de como previne ou trata isso. Será que tem continuação? Obrigado 🇧🇷
He'll probably post another video next week.
the THUMBS DOWN on this video came from old ladies who "blindly" love their cats (but I gave this video a thumbs up because I found out about 20 years ago when a cat of mine died from it suspect by the vet who treated her)
For profit feral cat advocates are against this information. They also try to downplay these findings.
Also, toxocara canis roundworms from dogs, which they crap out all over our neighborhoods, do the same thing. They get into our brains and can cause all sorts of problems, like schizophrenia, epiilepsy, and many others.
More videos like this please!
@W sure...
Is there a video on prevention and treatment?
Prevention, don't let feral cats take over your area. This parasite can only replicate in cats stomachs. This parasite is one of many reasons why people are against feral cat release practices.
I need to speak to a researcher on this topic asap
so you didn't say how to treat or prevent it like you said you would
he probably will do that in other video and probably it's with a whole food plant based diet
@@alvaromartinezmateu2175 omg spoilers

Antibiotics and wash your hands after handling cats and rodents.
I suddenly regret having nutrition facts on notifications
Angelica Jane it’s okay our plant based immunity will do the job!!! Like so many fungus and bacteria and viruses , if we’re weak ,they gonna get us😉
Sure... Because ignorance is bliss.
I am guessing that the cure has something to do with avoiding animal product and eating garlic.

The most common way to get infected with this virus is by eating not fully cooked meat. Bear that in mind. If your cat is infected, you can have a vet treat it with the right antibiotics... Only about 30% of pets are infected. One way to keep your cat from being infected is to fully cook the meat it eats, and to keep it from hunting outdoors. Also, keep it indoors. Curious why this was not mentioned.
Interesting!
I'm so infected!
Ya nasty thaang!
Wow! Just amazing! Thank you Dr Greger!
Stfu! He said nothing about how to kill or clear it.
Guys, Here is our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER (Genesis 1) HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)

He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
How is it treated?
France has a high level of infection. There is an expensive perfume in France that has ingredients similar to cat urine. People seem to like it. Coincidence?
I guess some ingredients in cat piss has some sort of alluring quality
@@speakswithtreesIf you have Toxoplasmosis that is

Microbiology was my favorite science subject, I think the microbe slides look beautiful. Toxoplasma gondii is so interesting.
I just finished a microbiology course. It was fascinating, and I wish it could have been 2 semesters.
S O N J A
How does one diagnose an infection? I didn’t hear him say?
@@livthedream91 generally serological testing is done to check for immunoglobulin G. CSF can be tested as well.
S O N J A
Thanks😱. Is everybody gonna go ask their doctor for this test now? Lol. I know I am😂😂😂.
@@livthedream91 good question 🤣🤣🤣. It's usually asymptomatic, but given the info in this video it seems like the symptoms are just not what's generally looked for 🤷
Your doc refers you to a psychiatrist for your symptoms. Your psychiatrist doesn’t check for hidden infections or address your diet and lifestyle. Your psychiatrist prescribes you a drug to cover up your symptoms. This drug causes your more symptoms requiring another drug to over up the new symptoms. You are promised that you just need to find the right cocktail of drugs to put you back in balance. So you keep trying different drug combinations but never find wellness and your mental symptoms get worse. You are told that your condition is progressing yet it’s the toxic prescription drugs that are damaging your brain. All of this goes on and the root cause of your illness was never addressed. And so the story goes. 🐈
Very true. Happened to me, got drugged up for years. Never got tested for parasites even though I started coughing up worms in the mental ward and was denied proper medical care and they wouldn't give me a dewormer or test for parasites. I've not taken any psychiatric drugs in years, I just take veterinary dewormer/anti-parasitic in a dosage for humans every few months when my feet start going numb or when I wake up "drunk or high" and I'm better within a few days
@@wolfie1719 You have to take dewormer every few months?? Are you a racoon living on garbage?
@@Kj16V its as easy as drinking bad tap water and you'll be infected with toxoplasmosis for life
@@wolfie1719 did that make the schizophrenia go away? Please answer back with what you take?😪
@kari777l Yes, it did go away completely. 3 years no antipsychotics. I used mebendazol dewormer and doryx antibiotics to treat t.gondii infection. I take high potency vitamin B complex, zinc, selenium, and eat a lot of meat for iron to maintain proper brain function. I hope this helps you
This is significantly disturbing after watching and relying on your efforts to encourage and reinforce healthy eating habits. The 1 in 4 chance of already being "brain inhabited" by schizophrenic inducing parasites is terrifying! This isn't your normal preventative, "how to avoid message" so please inform us of tests to detect or how to not get "inhabited" in the first place. Once these brain dopamine doping , suicide inducing parasites have "signed a lease" I'd like to know the eviction process.
Why has nobody mentioned trainspotting?
CRAZY!!
Ok but what about prevention? Treatment?
I bet it's a whole food plant based diet lol
@@tedcoombs7762 oh, pls be right
Nice username...
That’s ridiculous I have had toxo for 35 years and I can’t stand the smell of at pee but I do hit a lot of stuff with my car 😩
Wait - you didn't say how to fix it! :-0
Another cliffhanger. At least he hasn’t made Bran the Broken king...yet.....
Toxoplasma also come from Tick bites
Ticks and cats! One just as nasty as the other!
So, have schizophrenics been shown to have weak immune systems (at least those carrying toxoplasma)? Do their schizophrenic symptoms improve when their immune systems are strengthened?
Wow.
Ahh this and the last video scared me
Most people already carry toxoplasmosis. Either its dormant or they are actively suffering and being medicated incorrectly.
i did have cats so could i be asymptomatic and can it go away on its own since i don't have cats any more. plz answer 😓
Sorry but I think it doesn't go away.
Mmmm dopamine... I´ve been a dopamine addicts since my teens, I´m probably infected...
haha ;D
everyone is addicted to dopamine.
its what makes you wanna live at all
Oh, yeah that´s right and cat pee doesn´t smell appealing to me at all, so perhaps I´m just fine...
@@eelkeaptroot1393
are you a cat person or a dog person?
I don´t have pets myself, I´d say I prefer cats over dogs cause they´re more quiet and require less attention. I actually think it´s better if pet ownership is abolished.
@@eelkeaptroot1393 I've personally never understood why people like their pets so damn much, my mom is probably infected she talks to her dog like a crazy person
A lot of cat comments, I really hope most are jokes. Just need to clarify, one, a cat doesn't necessarily have toxoplasmosis. Especially if they're indoor only. Two, even if your cat does have toxoplasmosis, you won't necessarily get infected unless you don't clean after handling the litter. Three, even if you have toxoplasmosis, these symptoms are tendencies and averages. They are correlations and not direct consequences of infection. There are many, many more factors in the conditions mentioned here (a lot of which are much more significant factors. Example with schizophrenia genetic predisposition is a vastly more important factor).There is a vast misunderstanding of this video in the comments below.
ok Dr Greger, I had toxoplasmosis, is there a way out of this? please let it be plants or I'm screwed
why would you wanna get rid of toxo?
it makes you smarter than other noninfected humans.
also: its like herpes, youll never be able to get rid of it
kolo, how does it make you smarter?
@@koloblicin I'm reading about it and the dopamine transmitters or whatever, when overstimulated die, which makes you engage in more risky behaviors to produce more dopamine
@@MissMarinaCapri
excess dopamine stimulates brain growth, as far as i know.
dopamine is also a neurotransmitter.
its one of your natural stimulants that your body produces.
@@Elven.
hm, dopamine transmitters should not be damaged badly from toxoplasmas dopamine,
you need A LOT of dopamine to overstimulate/damage them.
as far as i know, toxo has a relatively small (but nonetheless noticable) effect on dopamin levels in your brain, not nearly enough to overstimulate your receptors.
Dude!!! 💓
Toxoprumpla?
So what's the cure? Why don't they use Serotonin drugs on Schizophrenics more often instead of anti-psychotics?
V Fran because that does not treat schizophrenia. As the video mentions, schizophrenia is characterized by excessive dopamine. It must be treated via dopamine antagonists
I guess I am safe for now.
wtf? can a GP test for that?
Aka Tom & Jerry 😂
rip tommy from trainspotting
These studies bring a whole new light onto the expression 'crazy cat person' with all the science backing this weird reaction from this infection 😲
I'm not sure if all cats carry this infection to the same degree , but I've personally noticed that in some cases I get a crazy allergic reaction to the scent of someone's place just because they have a cat , to the point that I get a life threatening fit of asthma if I stay at their place.
It also explains why some people consider getting a pet the perfect remedy to depression 😅
Howwwwww do we safely kill and clear it????
You cant.
Dr. Greger this is now your second video I have watched about Toxoplasma but in both videos you failed to mention that the parasite can also be transferred through blood transfusion as well as working with raw meat, or touching it and/or eating it.
Its not just cat pee thats the culprit........would you mind correcting this.
Source?
Stay tuned for episode #3. Or perhaps 4, 5 and 6! Nasty-ass cats can carry a lot of diseases that can infect people! No doubt, he could do a whole series on disgusting cat diseases! And now that I think about it, he probably should! Education is enlightenment. And your sweet little pussies... Are nasty! Nasty! Nasty!

What are your thoughts on Dr. Zach Bush presentation ruclips.net/video/O1aD5NpTLXY/видео.html on the microbiome? This could be the reason why we have so many vegans and meat eaters that are getting sick even on whole foods, and would explain why certain people are immune to toxoplasmosis and in some it reaps havoc.
I grew up with 8-44 cats...Mom was crazy cat lady. I suppose needless to say, but I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety about 10 years ago. I haven't "wanted" to live in 20 years.
Clorine dioxide kills the parasite - look up Andreas Klacker - Forbidden Health.
I guess Ted Nugent was right about at least this.
Holy shit
Haha I guess theres no way to treat this with diet, huh.
Sounds like Bruce Lipton talking
The fact that mice get it is scary cuz they come n go n are hardly around unlike a cat owner 😮
After the black plague, industry went through a boom phase. Could a side effect of plague spreading be the spreading of toxoplasma? This would leave the European population more risk taking which is perfect for private enterprise to thrive.
FreeGoro There are upsides to everything, personally if the only symptom if this parasite was risk taking, I’d infect themselves, however I’m not too keen on the other symptoms.

Marc H, just had my cat put to sleep still heartbroken.She was 17, and a sociopath but I worshiped her, must have gotten infected with the brain parasite. My wife thought I was under the Paw.
@@andrewwelch1040 under the paw! lol!
@@bookmouse770, yes I just can not help myself round those felines, 52 now and earliest memories of trying to feed local cats my sugary confectionery, needless to say I got scratched but also beguiled by those snakes with fur.
At one time, i rescued a stray cat who was born to a momma cat who ran away from a crazy cat lady with 50 stray cats she had lured home, so risk of toxoplasmosis high (the hunting, the feces laying about, the wide territory the cats came from increases the risk). My cat was indoor /outdoor, a hunter, i scooped the litter, i had never heard of toxoplasmosis. Also, as a child, i played with farm cats on my grandparent's farm. Also hunters, which increases the risk of tozoplasmosis.
When i got pregnant, they told me about the risk to the fetus of toxoplasmosis infection, but only the initial infection is a risk. Then your body makes antibodies, and keeps the virus under control. So we tested to see if i had toxoplasmosis antibodies in my blood. I did not. So i had never been infected. So i carried on taking care of my cat, being more careful to be sanitary, though i had always been sanitary, except when i wss a young child on the farm. My first cat was wild and bit me many times, but i loved that wild cat. Also i've had many scratches that bled. Also, i'm a nail biter. And i sleep with my cat(s). My cats are usually spoiled and walk on the kitchen table and counters, though i tell them to get down. I'm not a clean freak by any means. Still, not infected. (Am kind of schizo, though. Must be something else).
Over the years, I've had many indoor/outdoor cats, I love cats, although i now just have 1. But, just because you have a cat doesn't mean you have toxoplasmosis. And just because you love cats doesn't mean you have it.
@@lilyroza just because there are no antibodies in your blood, does not mean you dont have it ;)

Does Toxoplasmosis have a symptom called Tinnitus?
I have cats and tinnitus, but still hate cat pee. Had cats way before tinnitus. Mine started after the ⚡ company installed the smart meter 12 feet from our bedroom. You might research that as well as 5g. EMF "smog" is causing major health issues as well as GMOs. Watch the Secret Ingredients video. Scary stuff. Very healthy, active people crippled by GMO food got better when they changed what they ate. Same with many people affect by WiFi, cell phones, "smart" meters, led/fluorescent bulbs. Mine is improving with proper sleep, intermittent fasting and removing toxic products as much as possible. Moving to the other side of house from meter is next. I always unplug WiFi when not using and keep cell phone in airplane mode especially when moving in a vehicle. The (free) Real Truth About Health videos will help inform you.
-Toxoplasma Gondii-
Could it be connected to the rise of patriarchal religion/the abrahamic traditions? 🎉
So is that why I'm so obsessed with cats!?
YES!
BS 😂Do people really believe those stupid myths? Cats are pets and we love them because they deserve to be loved, and not all cats are infected. People need to stop spreading misinformation.
Like I said in the previos video, these helps to explain why human kind feels more attracted to cats everyday, we're more infected everyday
That's false....why would a disease make you more attracted to cats? Who comes up with this stuff? That's stupid. People have been domesticating cats since a long time🤦♀️ diseases happen and not only cats carry diseases, also not all cats are infected.
I knew it! We are all just puppets with someone's else hand up our aaa

Toxoplasmosis occurs in almost all cats, that's why you should wash your hands and wear a breathing mask when cleaning a litter box. Antibiotics will eliminate the parasite in humans.
Or you could just not have a cat in your life or home. Because; "He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas"
Please forgive the "dualistic apologue."
