ANTIDEPRESSANTS KILL PARASITES & Calcium Chanel Blockers to stop scattering.


The following show promise for treatment of parasitic infections:
* Lithium orotate
* SSRI antidepressants! (Celexa, Lexapro, Zoloft, etc.)
* MAOI's (Nardil)
* Tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine, amoxapine, etc.)
* Antipsychotics (Zyprexa)
Which raises the question as to whether Depression is just a symptom of an underlying infection.... and it is a definite sign that all psychiatric disorders that respond to the medication could be because of the medications anti-parasitic effects first and foremost.

*** "Antidepressants can destroy the organisms of various parasitic diseases, inhibit the growth of the intestinal parasite giardia lamblia, and have antimalarial properties. Antidepressants enhance susceptibility to chloroquine in resistant malaria, and can destroy such parasites as those of sleeping sickness. Antidepressants are lethal to disease causing fungi, remit recurrent vaginal candida, have antibacterial activity, and synergize Antibiotics against several bacteria. Evidence to date shows that lithium has antiviral and antibacterial properties, while antidepressants have antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasitic, and fungicidal properties. While laboratory studies show that lithium and antidepressants have direct antimicrobial properties, their actions on the brain would seem to be responsible for their immune stimulating properties."

I have had the bad experience of feelings parasites scattering to my brain. I did some research however and read that calcium plays a huge factor in this, so in order to completely eliminate the symptoms I have successfully been using medications and supplements that I feel immobilize the parasites. Ones that I have found very useful based on experimentation:
* Gabapentin (Neurontin)
* Magnesium
* Beta-blockers such as propranolol and pindolol
* Benzodiazapenes (Diazepam, Clonazepam, Alprozolam)

*** "Apicomplexan parasites rely on calcium-mediated signaling for a variety of vital functions including protein secretion, motility, cell invasion, and differentiation. These functions are controlled by a variety of specialized systems for uptake and release of calcium, which acts as a second messenger, and on the functions of calcium-dependent proteins."

*** "Propranolol along with a number of other membrane-acting drugs have been investigated for possible effects on P. falciparum and so the treatment of malaria. "

Search "parasites calcium" or "malaria calcium" or etc. on google.com or pubmed.com if you would like to research the role Calcium has on parasites.

Drugs to stop the symptoms of scattering should only be used as a temporary fix until the parasites are eliminated. I feel they are an important addition however in order to prevent symptoms from becoming overwhelmingly debilitating. Magnesium and Lithium orotate can safely be used indefinitely though. Gapapentin too is a very safe drug with a very low side effect profile.

"Impaired immune function has been demonstrated in depressives, and antidepressants are known to stimulate immune function. While lithium is effective against some bacteria and viruses, evidence for its effectiveness against parasites and fungi is lacking. Antidepressants, on the other hand, are effective against various bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. As lithium and antidepressants have immunopotentiating as well as antimicrobial properties, they stand to be effective against a gamut of microbes. The response of infection to lithium and antidepressants mirrors the treatment of Depression in which subjects respond to tricyclic antidepressants, specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors or lithium. An infection should not be labeled refractory to antidepressants until many, if not all have been tried. Many studies with antidepressants are biased by the generalization that “antidepressants” lack a specific property when the study involved only one. Antidepressants are highly specific and humans remarkably variable."
