>>My personal take is that is a fungus that spreads throughs intergalactic dark matter and infects souls.
Look up Systemic Candida, it controls us through the vargus nerve and makes us stupid as shit through it's acidic metabolites and other goodies such as methanol.
Autisitc kids have high concentrations of the acidic fungal metabolites in their blood and there is such a thing as Adult Onset Autism when people get more emotional, ADD, less able to reason for hte same reasons mentioned above.
Systemic Candida is not just the Candida but by the time it is a major problem and noticed then the vicitim will have other bacteria/virri/pleomorphic/fungi/worms living as a colony working together under a bioshell that need s to be destroyed before the candida,etc can be attacked directly.
Modern medicine does not recognise it but it is the main root cause of all our chronic diseases - many cancer types included, als osee cachexia in AIDS patients.
