continuing from that thread (and still trolling for a newport nugget of truth)



Herbs and oils effect
The maximum survival rate for T. gondii tachyzoites was 21.7% and 29.8% in doses 100 and 200 mg/kg/day by using ethanol extract of Piper nigrum respectively. Using the Curcuma longa ethanol extract, the survival rate was 1.4% and 0.8% in the two doses used respectively, which means the inhibition of growth was better at 98.6% and 99.2%. Similar results of inhibition of growth (99.3% and 98.7%) in vitro for the T. gondii proliferation were recorded when the alcohol extract of Torilis japonica and Sophora flavescens at 156 ng/ml in media added to wells containing T. gondii were used.[12]

The results of the oils of all home spices were considerable. Piper nigrum was more active as a growth inhibitor for T. gondii tachyzoites giving the percentage of 94.2% and 100% in the doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg/day, compared with that of Curcuma longa. The proliferation of the tested parasites was inhibited at 98.6% and 99.2% in the same doses used.

In conclusion, results of all the tested home spices from black pepper to the rhizome of curcuma using water or ethanol extraction solvents as growth inhibitors for the parasite, T. gondii were encouraging.
