THE PROBLEM OF TOXOPLASMA |
| Romny, Ukraine |
Depending on various reasons medicine does not pay enough attention to the
role of infectious- parasitary problems in etiology of diseases. One of the
leading places in development of diseases occupies toxoplasma gondii, whose
spread is overwhelming. It causes practically all major contemporary diseases:
coronary vascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, neuropsychic diseases and numerous
pathologies of digestion, the musculoskeletal system, urinary tract and urinoexcretory
ways and many others. Atherosclerosis is very common and until now the medicine
has attributed cholesterol to its cause. Despite of this no single patient in
the world has been healed from atherosclerosis and other coronary vascular pathology.
However over the last decade a virus nature of this pathology has been broadly
debated. Then why does antitoxoplasma treatment prevent the progression of the
atherosclerosis? Why the medications that work against toxoplasm are even by
the conventional medicine are called antiarrhythmics. How to explain that antiparasitary
preparations reverse the development of pathology,
restore the correct heart rhythm although the blame is laid on cholesterol
and viruses which are not sensitive to these preparations? This might be applied
to other spheres and in particular to neuropsychic diseases. As an example,
schizophrenia is cured with antitoxoplasma preparations whilst it is not acknowledged
as its cause. It seems that it will not be possible to ignore the problem of
toxoplasm in future. Professor Flegr from Karlovy University in Prague testified
that toxoplasm so negatively affects car drivers that they are in 2,7 times
more susceptible to accidents. The researches including Americans Gloria Mender,
Kevin Lafferti showed that due to toxoplasm exposure the characters of nations
change. Fuller Torrey, The Stanley Institute of Medical researches, Maryland,
USA proved that toxoplasm is directly associated with schizophrenia. Ultimately
Prof. Glenn Makkonki, Univesity of Leeds demonstrated at a biochemical level
the process of the development of schizophrenia through neurotransmitter dopamine.
The spread of toxoplasm is aggressive and there is no reliable diagnosis. Antibody
tests and PCR detect only 40% of the parasite. There are no preparations that
meet the necessary requirements. The existing medications enlist a couple of
preparations to which toxoplasm promptly adapts. This makes the situation even
more serious considering the fact that the parasite prevails in an encysted
form.
