This is the last in a 4-video series. To catch up, check out Toxoplasmosis: A Manipulative Foodborne Brain Parasite (https://youtu.be/B3yNPBHR1Z8), Long-Term Effects of Toxoplasmosis Brain Infection (https://youtu.be/e3hu1Tpp4AU), and Does Toxoplasmosis Cause Schizophrenia?

The cyst is incurable and very scary. When the immune goes down, the cyst startes to infect the person. It is opportunistic. Now days,it is very common to see the pet's poop everywhere.We are living with infection even without having any pet.Our Lack of knowledge and ignorance are taking us to hell.What goes around comes around.Pet is not for everyone. If you don't know how to handle it, don't have it.Because, you will die of it.
New studies show that about 30% of household own cats and separate study that 30% of people tested show signs of infection. A recommendation was that people who have cats should use disposable litter boxes and change them daily. Sifting cat litter and reusing it is not recommended due to dried feces containing eggs being inhaled. Apparently the eggs are tiny and almost impossible to destroy short of using a flame thrower.
Also when I go to restaurants they ask if I want pork cooked?!?!??! Is it insanity? Do people not know??? Beef it’s what I thought it would be ok to have it not well done, but pork or veal?!?!
The speakers rising and falling intonation are incredible! The entire video is an example of perfect prosodic control in speech.
Sadly most of us already have it, over 80% of us. Theres not much to stop haha
I love this channel!
Hi! Neighbourhood cats about 6+ come to my baclyard and poop all over and in the front yard. How do i sterilize the soil after them? Can I pour diluted bleach on the spot? What proportions? Thanks
Did toxcoplasma effect on married life ?
I feel like the info about stray cat infection rates was mis-characterized. The text of the paper seems to indicate that 6% were actively shedding during the study. I believe that leaves open the possibility that literally ALL the stray cats studied were infected.
This is scary. Is there some sort of treatment for toxo if it is so widespread?
Howwwww do we safely kill and clear it??????
how long does it live in the human body? :S
SOOOO WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU HAVE IT??????
GAH! What's the safe cooking temp of pork and lamb? I eat a ton of undercooked pork and lamb
Why do Americans use inaccurate, arbitrary, and impractical volumetric units of food measurement? Everything should be grams. If possible raw grams and cooked grams to be clear.
Not super related to this video, but in general this triggers me.
And there are some people following a raw meat diet.. cough sv3rige cough
KILL ALL CATS !!!!!!!!!
So as it produces dopamine, what does it do to an Adhd patient?
Why does this have to exist
0:55 How are cats not food animals like other animals? When you eat cows, why should you not eat cats?
How do you know if you are infected?
Well, Neurologist know that you replace the toxo line for a variety of cerebral lesions and you ger the same curve of psyquiatric and cognitive decline as with toxoplasmosis. The dopamine and folate story is no more than a tale. There are better reasons to take good care of cats and to eat vegetables than this story.
No wonder the US uses folic acid in processed wheat, it reduces intelligence in the population by blocking real folate uptake from food.
Can you do a “what I eat in a day” video
What do you think about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qDYl4zHmAg
Raw pork is eaten a lot in Germany, it's called "Mett"
All Hail Brain Slug!!!
Just wow. I've been speculating about this for years. In Germany parasites are taken far more seriously. All my suspicions have been validated.
how to cure it when you have it?
No more Chinese buffet .
Wait, but can you please cover if there's ANY available treatment? My sister developed schizoaffective, I'm at high risk (two people in immediate family with schizophrenia/schizoaffective), and there's a strong chance we could have toxoplasmosis from having outdoor cats all our lives. You said in a previous video that common anti-parasitics don't work on toxo, so are there ANY treatments? Please help, Dr. Greger!
Thank you Dr. Greger I'll make sure we put our cats out for adoption. All this is so informative!
Thank you for this!!!!
So, what tests are available to determine whether you have this or not, and if you should have it what can be done to eliminate the Toxoplasmosis?
What about raw spinach?
lol vegans need to supplement with b12? Organ meats have tons of b12 and are so delicious
Can we just get a video where you mention what can be done to ELIMINATE/KILL the parasite if you're already infected?! These cliffhangers are brutal! Thanks.
There was news in 2015 of a well-established hypertension drug, guanabenz, being effective at treating the latent cysts in mice (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26303803), but there do not seem to be any human trials as yet. Could one be crowdfunded?* It would need to be possible to check the cysts have diminished in live humans. I do not know if brain scans can see them.
*With the drug I guess being off-patent, it is very unlikely a pharmaceutical company will fund any such research. However, enough people are affected by this, that if some reasonable proportion of them chipped in, perhaps it could be done. Is there any way to crowdfund such research and feel empowered vs waiting in hope that something comes up? A pharmaceutical company would ideally develop a drug that does not cure the problem, but helps contain it, providing you keep taking the medication.
Toxoplasmosis goes away on its own in few weeks.
Has anyone heard him speak of how to get rid of the toxoplasmosis protozoan parasite? If so, WHERE?
Okay. So how would a person get rid of the little buggers if they already have them?
Toxoplasma eats B12 and folate. So eat more of it to make sure Toxoplasma really thrives. Doc you are a bright one NOT.
Well…at least we didn’t have to wait 2 years for the ending of this series! 😉
How bout killin it?
Well this explains why Sv3ridge is so crazy.
Now that cats are villified in this matter is ridiculous. Millions of people have cats. Total hygiene and abstaining from meat raw or cooked should be highlighted. Dr Greger did not even mention blood transfusions and organ transplants as another reason which has been proven that it is on fact so.
He mentioned that this virus cannot be detected in raw meat before its packaged and sold on the market. Billions of animals are slaughtered for food yearly therefore an obvious reason this virus will be sold in meat undetected. Lets include backstreet butchers and sales. I think this problem has still not been fully investigated only the tip of the ice berg has been revealed
