"Toxoplasma is a single-celled parasite that infects at least one-third of the world’s human population. It’s famous for its ability to manipulate its hosts".. Is this why they didn't want us learning about HCQ and Ivermectin? Both are known to kill parasites.

The whole study of microbiomes is fascinating and your line of thinking is correct. There is technically more foreign DNA in you, and on you, then there is of your own existing DNA. So, who is running who?
A very large amount of neurotransmitters are manufactured in the gut. The gut is a very substantial part of the immune system as well. So, if the gut is not working properly, the body does not work properly. The mind-gut relationship is very real. The microbiome of the gut controls a wide variety of genetic processes like regulating certain gene suppression and expression. The enterotypes of the gut are not set in stone and can be shifted to one that is more compatible to health.
I was sounding the alarm in this area long before it was even being looked at by my colleagues. Unfortunately, many still do not take it seriously. Gut health is always one of the first places I look when patients are suffering with chronic disease. Sadly, most patients do not want to do the work it takes to shift their gut flora. Those patients are in the minority for sure. Most just want a pill and don't want to invest any effort beyond picking up a script.
Thanks for your reply.
I am not a medical professional but I am open to the idea that we only know what we know. Information about how our biochemical machines work seems beyond measure.
I follow The Institute of Human Anatomy on YT. Recently watched a vid on the kidney. They just look like little meaty lumps but that all those meaty pieces (cortex, pyramids, and calyx) have a specific function which controls whether you live or die is unbelievable. This one about the gut is pretty interesting too.

Have you ever thought about fecal transplants? I have seen a lot of literature on how the procedure has actually cured people with serious gut issues. I think that kind of thinking is going in the right direction.
You are most welcome.
Fecal transplants are honestly the only curative treatment for C.diff infection - an infection related to prescribing antibiotics to an already out of balance gut biome. About 10 to 15 years ago I noted an explosion of C.diff infections that led to hospitalizations and years of chronic disease. Whenever I would mention fecal transplants, colleagues and patients both, were not receptive. Sometimes patients are their own worst enemies and the medical establishment is all to happy to indulge them in their own destruction.
Thanks for the link. The one good thing about YouTube is the educational videos on anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology. Even a clinician like myself finds them useful to dust the cobwebs off material that needs refreshing without having to buy newer textbooks and attending butt-numbing lectures.
