That is quite true. Furthermore, the literature seems full of evidence that clearly appear to point to a DIRECT relationship between parasites and hosts at the 'neurochemical' level. I have read many papers on this subject, and they seem to be well considered facts. Personally, while I can't prove it scientifically, I'm convinced of this relationship as much as one can be, based solely on personal observations and on logic. It all seems "logically" obvious to me.

Please don't think that I disregard your theories because of these logical cautions that I express. On the contrary, I think they're truly 'ground-breaking' (your theories) and I'm almost sure that eventually many truths will be derived from them. The thing is that at least for me, there are way too many 'loose' variables that could influence verifiable results in any such experiment, which is what leads me to show caution and to 'hold my enthusiasm', so to speak.

In any event, I can only admire and respect your display of courage for taking the steps you're taking in such a fashion.
