The next experiment drew on the demonstration that many antipsychotic drugs commonly used in the treatment of schizophrenia inhibit the
replication of T. gondii tachyzoites in cell culture.25,26 Such observations provided support for the hypothesis that the antipsychotic and
mood-stabilizing activity of some medications may be achieved, or at least augmented, through their inhibition of T. gondii replication.
I do have to speak about certain personal experiences to demonstrate my following points.
"I" was once a "normal" person in the eyes of our society. This guy had never even visited these forums! I did hold my own views about "aliens"
"conspiracies" etc but was not exposed to something with a wealth of information one finds while visiting this site.
After releasing a build up of "trauma" I had carried with me over an accident in my family, my world took a sudden and strange turn. Long story short,
I found myself in a mental hospital. I was discharged 7 days later, with a few diagnoses and a handful of meds.
The "official" diagnoses was schizophrenia. I was horrified to say the least. They told me I had to apply for social security disability because the
meds I needed to take (for the rest of my life) were not cheap and with no way other to pay for them I had no choice. They also told me this was a
disease in my brain and it would only get progressively worse as I aged. Although part of me knew what I had encountered and was going through was
actually healing for me ( I was clearing my body of past trauma I buried deep in my psyche), part of me was so afraid to think at what my life might
become with this brain disease. I started taking the anti-psychotic and a few other meds prescribed.
Shortly after taking them I noticed things began getting "worse" mainly my dreams at night, and also a few of the "hallucinations" during my days.
Before the meds I would find myself meeting with relatives who had passed, my hallucinations during the day were "scary" but not as "scary" as when I
had the drugs in my system. With the meds in my body these peaceful dreams of communicating and exchanging messages with deceased loved ones, were
replaced by some of the worst nightmares I have ever encountered. My thoughts during the day made me feel like a disgusting person who had deserved
this insanity.
I have always been a cat lover, growing up and as an adult I have always had a cat to keep me company. If they did test my blood for this parasite,
they did not tell me about it. However, I am pretty sure this parasite is now part of who "I am" I have a very vivid memory of a cat scratch (I
believe this is when it entered my blood stream) when I was 5 months old. It seems silly but I have confirmed this and many other memories from that
age with my parents and they turned out to be true.
During my "hallucinations" an "alien" element was for sure a big part of them. It makes sense to me now why my "fears" got worse after I began taking
the anti psychotic meds.

The parasite lessons fear, the anti-psychotic meds decreased its ability to do so.
Thanks for reading, see you soon. At some point I want to discuss the Egyptian culture in relation to this "alien" parasite.
