Parasite based, interesting.
Half joking but the shift from understanding szr as an intrinsic psychological condition versus being causally related to parasites remind me hilariously of the midichlorians reveal in star wars.
- radicaldreamer 4y agoI think we'll probably see a lot of this kind of synthesis as our ability to model grows stronger. Seeing yourself as a collection of billions of separate but symbiotic, sometimes competing organisms rather than as one coherent one is a big paradigm shift which will likely result in a lot of fruitful theories and hopefully eventually treatments for disease and illness. Crucially, we're getting to a place where we can model some of this and then directly attack several other pieces which were inaccessible to us before due to sheer amount of complexity.

- bitL 4y agoSo Ivermectin for everyone?
- bawolff 4y agoI was under the impression that ivermectin wouldn't affect a protozoa. And even if it did, it wouldnt pass the blood brain barrier so it would be useless here. [I am not a doctor and dont know what im talking]
- bitL 4y agoPer this article protozoa could be affected: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8918027/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8918027/ One would have to administer it in early stages before it passes BBB. Pity it got such a bad rap because Zapp Brannigan mentioned it (despite winning a Nobel Prize).
