75% of Patients Show Cryptosporidium Parasite Once Limited to AIDS Patients
The Ultimate Human
270. Dr. Tania Dempsey: Mast Cells, Chronic Fatigue, & Hidden Inflammation
"I was taught that Cryptosporidium is a parasite that only infects people with really suppressed immune systems, cancer patients, HIV. I see it probably in 75% of my patients. That tells me that part of this mast cell activation syndrome is suppressing the immune system so much."
Dr. Dempsey reported finding Cryptosporidium, a parasite traditionally seen only in severely immunocompromised AIDS and cancer patients, in approximately three-quarters of her patient population who are not HIV-positive or undergoing chemotherapy. This suggests widespread immune suppression far beyond what conventional medicine recognizes. The finding indicates mast cell activation syndrome may be causing immune dysfunction comparable to serious immunodeficiency diseases.
