Re: What about bipolar?
In my early days of research, I came across a few publications on Schizophrenia where people were studied and parasites were cited. If I remember correctly this was perhaps in Italy? I wish I didn't lose it and could find it again -- the computer crashed and that was that!
Dr. Howenstein talks about mental illness in his article; it's a great eye-opener. I don't see why bipolar wouldn't be added. For a long time I've questioned what is really bipolar whenever I've heard someone mentioning it; it seems like another label from big pharm... but that's another discussion. I really question a lot of "diseases" these days because the more I learn, the more I'm seeing some kind of parasite connection -- whether it be worms, fungi, bacteria or whatever -- they are all parasites. Once infected by any or all, your entire body changes.
If a family has a mental disorder, is it really genetics or has the family become infected by something from birth, or otherwise, altering their behavior? Genetics doesn't always play a role in diseases or disorders. I believe that I've posted an article or two about genetics and misconceptions.
