Parasitic Infections – How Parasites Effect Emotions and Contribute to Mental Decline

Parasitic infections are quite common today and can get inside you in too many ways to list. We’ve covered some common concerns previously concerning Junk Food and Parasites, so learn more there. Here, we address another concern and now proven certainty that parasites effect emotions – and in a very profound way – for a vast portion of the population.

Why and How Can Parasites Effect Emotions?

Parasitic infections ultimately find their way into the brain with one goal – to manipulate the host in ways that will ensure its ability to survive and reproduce. Anything that can get inside your head can affect your brain function and emotions, which makes finding natural parasite elimination solutions essential for mental health!

One of the most noted studies indicates that once infected with the common parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, rats seemed to forget their innate aversion for cat urine. Rather than avoiding the smell, the rat subjects became attracted to it, making them perfect prey for cats. See a summary of the National Academy of Sciences study here. View the typical life cycle of this particular parasite below.

During the course of this cycle, the parasite has achieved its goal and infected a new host – your pet – and is now seeking to find a way to infect a larger host such as you!

Mental Disorders and Parasitic Infections – Not Only a Third World Issue Anymore

According to Dr. Frank Nova, Chief of the Laboratory for Parasitic Diseases at the NIH, “In terms of numbers there are more parasitic infections acquired in this country than in Africa.” Just about all scientists accept the reality that all humans and creatures have at least ONE parasite thriving within them, but more realistically, the numbers of parasitic infections are estimated to be far higher.

This is alarming on any level, but now that several notable scientific studies are showing the correlation between mental disorders and parasitic infections including Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, Bipolar, Anxiety, and how they can even contribute to tendencies of violent aggression and suicidal behavior.
