Great perspective in topic of health - and how NOT using “needles” for young kids impacts their health- no autism, no speech loos, no allergies… time to connect dots, and not blindly following … the system.

Trichomonas (specifically Trichomonas vaginalis) infection, a parasitic STD, is associated with an increased risk of developing psychiatric disorders, including 🙂‍↕️bipolar disorder, according to some studies. Research in Taiwan suggests that trichomoniasis increases the risk of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. While the exact mechanism is unclear, the parasite may influence the gut-brain axis or trigger immune responses that contribute to these conditions.
Key findings
A 2019 study found that psychiatric disorder subgroups, including bipolar disorder, were significantly higher in individuals with trichomoniasis compared to a control group.
The risk of developing bipolar disorder in individuals with trichomoniasis was higher than in those without the infection.
Some studies indicate that treating the parasitic infection with the antibiotic metronidazole (MTZ) may reduce the risk of psychiatric disorders.

Background Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite that causes trichomoniasis and annually infects approximately 276 million people worldwide. We observed an ambiguously higher probability of trichomoniasis in patients from the psychiatric department of Tri-Service General Hospital. Herein, we...

Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, has been found in all tested lipstick brands and shades, raising serious health alarms.
Linked to kidney, lung, bone, nervous system damage, hormone disruption, and cancer, cadmium can accumulate in the body over time especially with regular lipstick use. Even small, repeated exposure through the lips can lead to long-term harm.
It interferes with calcium metabolism, weakens bones, disrupts hormones, and acts as a known carcinogen through DNA damage and oxidative stress. Regulatory limits vary, but even trace amounts may be unsafe.
Experts urge consumers to check for safety testing and demand cleaner formulations. This study reveals an uncomfortable truth: beauty might come at a cost far higher than we think.

Fast fashion… polyester city ! Not only Kmart many „fancy” bands full of polyester including sport wear, joga pants etc. Not only toxic to the Earth body- it is toxic for your body too ! Hormonal system destroyer! Kids, teens, adults. Flooded with plastic. Make slower choices, make more conscious choices.

Hi 👋 You! 📣 Looking for some inspiration and real health insights?
Check out this powerful YouTube channel diving deep into the amazing and often unknown benefits of Vitamin D – not just for bones, but for your entire system.

☀️ Vitamin D impacts:
• Hormone balance – it’s technically a steroid hormone, not a vitamin
• Children’s development – supports immunity, brain growth, emotional stability
• Mental health – linked to lower anxiety, mood swings, and depression
• Stress resilience – regulates cortisol and adrenal function
• Menstrual cycle – helps ease PMS, supports regular ovulation
• Menopause – reduces hot flashes, joint pain, and low mood
• Memory – supports clarity, focus, and long-term brain health

✨ This is not your typical sunshine advice. It’s next-level health education.

A common brain parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii is estimated to infect between 10% and 30% of the U.S. population.

This microscopic organism, typically contracted from undercooked meat, contaminated water, or cat f***s, forms cysts inside neurons where it can persist for life.

While the majority of infected people show no symptoms, recent scientific studies have revealed that the parasite can significantly disrupt how brain cells communicate—even when only a small number of neurons are infected.

Research published in 2025 by UC Riverside and featured in PLoS Pathogens uncovered that infected neurons release fewer extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are essential for neuron-to-astrocyte communication.

This disruption impairs astrocytes' ability to regulate neurotransmitters like glutamate, leading to higher levels of glutamate in the brain—a state linked to neurological problems such as seizures, excitotoxicity, and cognitive dysfunction.

Additionally, the parasite alters the content of the EVs it does release, injecting parasite proteins and microRNAs into the surrounding brain environment, further affecting nearby cells that aren’t even directly infected.

Animal models and in vitro studies support the idea that T. gondii infection can change the structure and function of neurons, damage synaptic connections, and affect behavior.

Although some correlations have been drawn between chronic toxoplasmosis and mental health conditions like schizophrenia or risk-taking behavior, conclusive evidence in humans is still being gathered.

Nonetheless, these findings point to the parasite’s underestimated influence on brain physiology and highlight the need for further investigation into its subtle neurological and psychiatric effects.

In essence, Toxoplasma gondii isn’t just a silent passenger in the brain—it actively interferes with neural communication, even if the infected person feels fine.

❤ not just eggs - LOVE ! BEYOND anything else 🙂
I'm thinking of writing (or .. I already started)... an eBook called “Chickens for Beginners” — a blend of our homeschooling journey with chickens (with extra addition about Benefits of raising chickens for neurodivergent minds + food as medicine)
