Summary of Important Parasitic Diseases of the CNS and their Prevention. Jorma Jyrkkanen, Researcher. 2025-04-14 SUMMARY OF PARASITIC DISEASES AFFECTING THE CNS AND THEIR PREVENTION Jorma Jyrkkanen, Researcher 2025-04-14 Key Points Research suggests parasitic diseases like cerebral malaria, toxoplasmosis, neurocysticercosis, and schistosomiasis significantly affect the CNS, causing severe neurological issues. Prevention methods vary, including vector control, hygiene practices, and avoiding contaminated sources, but effectiveness depends on local conditions. The evidence leans toward these diseases being more prevalent in resource-limited settings, with ongoing challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Overview Parasitic diseases affecting the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to serious health problems, including epilepsy, encephalitis, and long-term neurological damage. These infections are particularly common in areas with limited resources, but they can also affect travelers and immunocompromised individuals globally. Below, we break down the main diseases and how to prevent them, keeping the information clear and accessible for everyone. Major Parasitic Diseases and Their Impact. Several parasites can invade the CNS, causing a range of symptoms from seizures to severe brain inflammation. Here are the key ones: Caused by Toxoplasma gondii, it often lies dormant but can reactivate in people with weakened immune systems, like those with HIV, causing brain inflammation. CAT LITTER Neurocysticercosis: From the tapeworm Taenia solium, it’s a major cause of epilepsy worldwide, particularly in areas with poor sanitation, affecting about 30% of epilepsy cases in some regions. Caused by Schistosoma species, it’s less common in the CNS but can cause spinal or brain issues due to egg deposits, mainly in endemic areas like Africa and South America. Cerebral Malaria: Caused by Plasmodium falciparum, this is a leading cause of death, especially in African children, with about 400,000 deaths yearly. It can lead to severe brain issues, and 30% of survivors may face long-term neurological problems like epilepsy. Prevention Methods Preventing these diseases involves practical steps tailored to each parasite: Cerebral Malaria: Use bed nets treated with insecticide, spray homes to kill mosquitoes, and take preventive medication if traveling to high-risk areas. Quick treatment is crucial to stop it from reaching the brain. Toxoplasmosis: Avoid cleaning cat litter if pregnant, cook meat thoroughly, and wash hands after gardening to avoid the parasite’s eggs. Neurocysticercosis: Improve hygiene, treat infected people and pigs, and vaccinate pigs to break the transmission cycle, especially in endemic areas. Schistosomiasis: Avoid swimming or wading in fresh water in areas where the parasite is common, like parts of Africa and South America. These methods can reduce risk, but their success depends on local health infrastructure and community efforts. Survey Note: Detailed Analysis of Parasitic Diseases Affecting the CNS and Prevention Methods This section provides a comprehensive examination of parasitic diseases impacting the central nervous system (CNS), drawing from recent research and health guidelines as of April 14, 2025. The analysis aims to cover all relevant details, ensuring a thorough understanding for health professionals, policymakers, and lay readers interested in global health challenges. Introduction Parasitic diseases affecting the CNS are a significant public health concern, particularly in resource-limited settings. These infections, caused by protozoans and helminths, can lead to high mortality and morbidity, with survivors often facing lifelong neurological sequelae such as epilepsy, sensory impairments, and cognitive deficits. The complexity of parasitic life cycles, geographic distribution, and overlapping clinical manifestations pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, necessitating robust prevention strategies. Detailed Disease Summaries Based on recent literature, four major parasitic diseases stand out for their impact on the CNS: Cerebral Malaria Causative Agent: Plasmodium falciparum, transmitted via Anopheles mosquitoes. Epidemiology and Impact: This is the most common parasitic cause of mortality, with approximately 400,000 deaths annually, predominantly affecting children in sub-Saharan Africa. Cerebral malaria results from infected red blood cells obstructing cerebral vessels, leading to severe encephalopathy. Research indicates that 30% of survivors develop long-term neurologic complications, including epilepsy and cognitive deficits (Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System – PMC). Clinical Presentation: Symptoms include altered consciousness, seizures, and coma, often requiring intensive care. Toxoplasmosis Causative Agent: Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan with a global distribution, infecting up to one-third of the world’s population latently. Epidemiology and Impact: While typically asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, it poses significant risks in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV and CD4+ counts below 100 cells/mm³. Reactivation can lead to toxoplasmic encephalitis, characterized by focal brain abscesses and neurological deficits (Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System – PMC). Transmission: Occurs through ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat or oocysts in cat feces, highlighting the need for hygiene practices. Neurocysticercosis Causative Agent: Larval stage of Taenia solium, a tapeworm transmitted through fecal-oral routes, often linked to poor sanitation. Epidemiology and Impact: It is the most common helminthic infection of the CNS and a leading cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide, accounting for approximately 30% of epilepsy cases in endemic regions. The disease’s clinical presentation varies based on the number, size, and location of cystic lesions, as well as the host’s inflammatory response, making it a significant preventable risk factor for adult-acquired epilepsy (Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System – PMC). Global Burden: Particularly prevalent in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and parts of Asia, with increasing cases in the United States due to immigration. Schistosomiasis Causative Agent: Various Schistosoma species, including S. mansoni and S. haematobium, transmitted through skin penetration by cercariae in contaminated fresh water. Epidemiology and Impact: Endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, South America, the Caribbean, Southwest Asia, and the Middle East, CNS involvement is rare but significant, presenting as myelopathy or encephalopathy due to ectopic egg deposition leading to granulomatous lesions (Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System – PMC). Clinical Challenges: Diagnosis is often delayed due to overlapping symptoms with other neurological conditions. Prevention Strategies Prevention methods are tailored to the transmission routes and lifecycle of each parasite, as detailed below: Disease Prevention Methods Cerebral Malaria Vector control (insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying), chemoprophylaxis for travelers, rapid diagnosis and treatment with antimalarials like artesunate ( WHO Malaria Treatment Guidelines ). Toxoplasmosis Avoid ingestion of tissue cysts/oocysts: Do not clean cat litter boxes during pregnancy, avoid undercooked meat, ensure good hand hygiene after handling raw meat or soil ( Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System – PMC ). Neurocysticercosis Prevent fecal-oral transmission: Improve sanitation and hygiene, treat human and porcine populations, vaccinate pigs against Taenia solium ( Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System – PMC ). Schistosomiasis Avoid skin penetration by cercariae: Do not swim or wade in fresh water in endemic areas, use protective clothing if unavoidable ( Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System – PMC ). These strategies aim to interrupt transmission cycles, reduce exposure, and enhance community-level interventions, particularly in endemic regions. Additional Considerations Research also highlights emerging trends, such as the impact of climate change and increased international travel on the spread of these diseases to non-endemic areas, as noted in recent studies (Emerging and Re-Emerging Parasitic Infections of the CNS in Europe – MDPI). The HIV pandemic has further complicated the epidemiology, increasing susceptibility in immunocompromised populations. Diagnostic challenges, due to overlapping clinical manifestations, underscore the need for advanced imaging and serological testing, as discussed in recent clinical reviews (Parasitic Diseases of the CNS: The Diagnostic Challenge – Contagion Live). Conclusion The burden of parasitic CNS diseases is amplified by their long-term neurological sequelae, reducing economic productivity and causing social stigma. Effective prevention requires a multifaceted approach, combining individual hygiene practices, vector control, and public health interventions. Continued research and international collaboration are essential to address diagnostic challenges and mitigate the global impact of these infections.

MOJMIR BABACHEK ON EMF FREQUNCIES ON PHYSIOLOGY HEALTH AND BEHAVIOUR REPOST OCT 2023

In the year 1962 the American scientist Allan H. Frey carried out experiments with pulsed microwaves, which produced clicking, buzz, hissing or knocking sounds in the heads of people at a distance of up to several thousands yards. In his report, he also wrote that with the change of parameters he can produce pins and needles sensation or perception of severe buffeting in the head and claimed that this energy “could possibly be used as a tool to explore nervous system coding… and for stimulating the nervous system without the damage caused by electrodes“ (see this). In other words, Allan Frey was on the path to finding the way how to manipulate the human nervous system at distance. This was quickly understood by the U.S. Government. For the next two decades Frey, funded by the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Army, was the most active researcher on the bioeffects of microwave radiation in the country. Frey caused rats to become docile by exposing them to radiation at an average power level of only 50 microwatts per square centimeter. He altered specific behaviors of rats at 8 microwatts per square centimeter. He altered the heart rate of live frogs at 3 microwatts per square centimeter. At only 0.6 microwatts per square centimeter, he caused isolated frogs’ hearts to stop beating by timing the microwave pulses at a precise point during the heart’s rhythm (see this and this). In 1975, Allan Frey published his research on blood-brain barrier in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, where blood-brain barrier (protecting brain from poison entering it together with blood) of rats, illuminated by pulsed radiofrequency, allowed dye to penetrate into their brains. His findings were confirmed by 13 different laboratories in 6 countries and with the use of different animals. In 2012, Allan H. Frey wrote an article where he described how the American Brooks Air Force falsified his experiment by selecting a contractor, who injected the dye into the intestines instead of into the blood, and in this way made sure that the dye will not appear in the brain. This was supposed to help the U.S. Air Force to obtain the aproval of people to build radars in their vicinity. According to Frey, the same Brooks Air Force Base later tried to “discredit unclassified research in the microwave area” in order to cover “a classified microwave-bio weapons program.” Allan Frey concluded: “funding for open microwave-bio research in the United States was essentially shut down.” For that matter the general public (in the whole world) does not know anything about the possibility to control their brain activity at distance by the effects of pulsed microwaves on their nervous system until now. In March 2021, the American scientist James C. Lin wrote an article on Havana syndrome, where he wrote that this trouble caused to American diplomats and government agents in Cuba and elsewhere, was most probably produced by pulsed microwaves (see this). On December 5 2020 the U.S. Academy of sciences published a study on Havana syndrome, where it stated: “Overall, directed pulsed RF (radio frequency) energy, especially in those with the distinct early manifestations, appears to be the most plausible mechanism in explaining these cases among those that the committee considered.” But on March 2, 2023 the American television CNN published an article on the report of the 7 U.S. intelligence agencies. It said that “there is no credible evidence that a foreign adversary has a weapon or collection device that is capable of causing the mysterious incidents“ (Havana syndrome). In this way the U.S. intelligence agencies tried deny the validity of the scientific report by U.S. Academy of Science and to hide from the world general public the fact that pulsed microwaves can be used to attack their minds. There is a large body of scientific experiments proving that extra low frequencies of electromagnetic radiation can produce effects in the human nervous system. What is common to microwaves and extra long electromagnetic waves is that both of them carry electric and magnetic fields. The neurons are full of ions and this electrolyte can easily function as an antenna, in which electromagnetic waves will produce electrical currents, which are essetial parts of nervous impulses in the brain. At the International Conference on Nonlinear Electrodynamics in Biological Systems in 1983, sposored among others by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Office of Naval Research, Friedeman Kaiser from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Stuttgart lectured on effects of extra low frequencies of electromagnetic waves on the human nervous system or “extreme high sensitivity of certain biological systems to very weak electromagnetic signals.” He stated: “In the brain wave model… The external stimulus may only serve as a trigger to start an internal response signal… The system obeys the external drive, it oscillates with the external frequency…the slow external drive leads to an increasing modulation of the amplitude with the external frequency.” He called this phenomenon “entrainment“ and suggested that “excitations of the proposed types could possibly lead to changes in the behavior and function of biosystems” (pg. 394). There is no better explanation for the Friedman Kaiser’s lecture than that the ELF electromagnetic frequencies produce electrical currents in the electrolyte inside of the nervous tissue. In the closing speech at that conference Samuel Koslov, a leading personality of the mind control project Pandora of the American Navy declared: ”If much of what we have heard is indeed correct, it may be not less significant to the nation than the prospects that faced the physics community in 1939 when the long-time predicted fissionability of the nucleus was actually demonstrated. You may recall the famous letter of Albert Einstein to President Roosvelt. When we’re in a position to do so in terms of our proofs, I would propose that an analogous letter is required” (pg. 596). Already in 1980 John B. Alexander, former director of the U.S. Los Alamos National Laboratory in his article in the Military Review on remote control of human brain’s activity, wrote: ”whoever makes the first major breakthrough in this field will have a quantum lead over his opponent, an advantage similar to sole possession of nuclear weapons.” In 2014, Chinese scientists published the results of an experiment in which they searched for microwave conductivity of electrolyte solutions. In the introduction they stressed that their experiment “plays an important role in investigating the interaction between electromagnetic waves and biological tissues that have high water content and a significant concentration of ions.” For their experiment they used a solution of salt. The chemical formula of salt is NaCl. It means it contains atoms of sodium and chloride. Ions of both of those atoms play an important role in the firing of nerve cells. The experiment proved that this electrolyte is conductive for microwaves up to 20 GHz frequency (see this). It is highly reasonable to expect that if those microwaves are pulsed in the frequencies of the frequencies of activity of neurons in the brain they will be “entrained“ to oscillate with those frequencies. The MCS America organization, which fights against pollution, confirms this conclusion in its study on Electromagnetic Fields Sensitivity. The study states: “The body can collect the signal and turn it into electric currents just like the antenna of a radio set or a cell phone. These currents are carried by ions… flowing through the living tissues and in the blood vessels (a system of tubes full of an electrically-conducting salty fluid that connect almost every part of the body) when these currents impinge on cell membranes, which are normally electrically charged, they try to vibrate in time with the current” (let us note that a neuron is a cell as well). The veracity of those “speculations“ or “conspiracy theories“ is confirmed by the experiment, where 20 volunteers were exposed to the pulses of 217 Hz used in cell phone telephony and at the recordings of their electroencephalograms evoked potentials (or simply told electrical currents in the frequency) of 217 Hz were found (see this) or another one, where cell phone microwaves pulsed in 11 to 15 Hz produced changes in EEG during the sleep in 30 volunteers (see this). As well Australian scientists found out that: “Not only could the cell phone signals alter a person’s behavior during the call, the effects of the disrupted brain-wave patterns continued long after the phone was switched off (see this).” To complete this information it is necessary to say that the nervous system functions digitally and nervous actions differ by frequency and number of nervous impulses in which great number of neurons synchronize their action. In this way the activity of the human brain can be completely controlled including the thoughts. Robert Becker, who has been twice nominated for the Nobel prize for his research on electric potentials in organisms published in 1985 a book “Body Electric“, where he quoted the experiment, which was released voluntarily on basis of Freedom of Information Act. The author of the experiment J. F. Schapitz stated: “In this investigation it will be shown that the spoken word of hypnotist may also be conveyed by modulated electromagnetic energy directly into the subconscious parts of the human brain — i. e. without employing any technical devices for receiving or transcoding the messages and without the person exposed to such influence having a chance to control the information input consciously.” In one of the four experiments subjects should have been given a test of hundred questions, ranging from easy to technical ones. Later, not knowing they were being irradiated they would be subjected to information beams suggesting the answers to the questions they had left blank, amnesia for some of their correct answers and memory falsification of their correct answers. After 2 weeks they had to pass the test again. The results of those experiments were never published. But evidently already at this time the secret services were working on technologies how to impose thoughts to human beings with the use of pulsed microwaves to transmit into human brains human speech in ultrasound frequencies, which the brain perceives, but the human being does not realize this since it is not hearing the speech. For governments it is not difficult to pulse the cell phone signals in the brain frequencies and in this way manipulate the thoughts of their own or foreign citizens. The difference between pulsed microwaves and extra long electromagnetic waves is that pulsed microwaves can be targeted on one person (or the whole nation if cell phone signals are pulsed in brain frequencies) while extra long electromagnetic waves, transmitted in brain frequencies, with their length up to 300 hundred thousands kilometers will reach brains in large areas. For sure so far the legislations around the world (except the Chile and Brazil) do not prohibit such actions to the governments or anybody else on human brains (for example Elon Musk is building system of 20.000 satellites around the planet and working on neuralink research at the same time). Neurotechnologists around the world, who do not dare to disclose the national security information they had to sign, before starting research in the area, are calling for creation of legislations protecting people against such manipulations of their minds (see this). The proposal of such legislation presented to the European Union, signed by 11 world organizations, you can find at the address (see this). * Click the share button below to email/forward this article to your friends and colleagues.
