    Here is what happens when you take that parasite to lose weight.

    From World War Z
    Max Brook's theory on human zombies is that it is a parasite that takes control of its host, which is not that far removed from actual biology in the parasite that takes control of the ants.

    That species has been known to influence brain function, so sure.

    Lol! I saw a video that said candida is a parasite that makes you crave sugar.

    Candida was the first name of my ex's divorce lawyer so there's some truth to that.

    EXACTLY! (although mine hung around for another 18 years or so. Persistent buggers.) And yeah, you sure do notice if you have them.

    Hi Guys,
    I have seen some videos about parasites in your body that could be small or big, but controlling your cravings and mind completely. How true is that? Is there a way to kill them? or even finding out if you have them? I'll appreciate any input.

    When I read this I thought of the alien carrots from outer space from Lexx.

    Mind controlling parasites? No.

    "normal" parasites - yes. If you have pets they should be wormed and so should you. You should be able to buy the medicine over the counter at the pharmacy - no need for a doctor.

    For gut flora just eat yoghurt and it will be happy - gut flora is a good thing and you need it.

    I'm going to respectfully disagree with the worming for either species as a preventative. Worms are easily detected and cheaply treated but it's not benign.

    I don't think I said that worms were benign - in fact they are far from it - they can seriously effect the health of all animals including people.

    Gut flora on the other hand live in intestines and are beneficial organisms that aid in digestion.

    I'll be perfectly honest. I thought that's what this thread was going to be about.

    Not sure about cravings, but T. gondii is a parasite aquired from cat feces that is known to change behavior in mice- not sure what it does to humans...

    The parasites name is Dr. Oz and they are trying to figure out why stay at home middle aged women are so susseptable to catching him. Research so fat points to a condition called "ain't got nothing better to do between my soap stories."

    What I meant is the worming meds are not benign and without stress to the body. They aren't meant to be used as a preventative in humans or pets

    Ok. I'm not sure what this has to do with gaining weight, but true story. There's a parasite called something like toxoplasma gondii that lives in cats and then infects mice and makes the mice lose their fear of cats. When people are infected it...does something to us...and might be responsible for crazy cat lady syndrome. So, the moral of the story is that maybe?

    Wow people are really judgemental on this site. I've had two Russian doctors tell me we all have parasites. Russian doctors, in my experience having lived both there and here are way more educated and qualified. They are also not in it for the money, or at least not back when I lived there in the USSR days. I've never ever had an American doctor ask me about parasites, because they are not trained on it, which does not mean that we as Americans should never talk about it. I know that some parasites are common and can cause serious illnesses long-term. There are natural herbal remedies out there and medications to cure them... Definitely go to a doctor who is trained in this if you suspect you have them... it's not the sort of thing I would try to self-diagnose...
