Dr. Stoller amends the last missive from Dr Henricks with science on AD. As with many disease states, to include polytrauma from combat and BLAST injuries, there are confounding and compounding Mechanisms of Action. Alzheimer’s is a mixed infection that can be driven by a neurospirochetosis.
Miklossy J. Alzheimer’s disease – a neurospirochetosis. Analysis of the evidence following Koch’s and Hill’s criteria. J Neuroinflammation. 2011 Aug 4;8:90. doi: 10.1186/1742-2094-8-90. PMID: 21816039; PMCID: PMC3171359.
The accumulated knowledge, the various views, and hypotheses proposed to explain the pathogenesis of AD form together a comprehensive entity when observed in the light of a persisting chronic inflammation and amyloid deposition initiated and sustained by chronic spirochetal infection. As suggested by Hill, once the probability of a causal relationship is established prompt action is needed. Similarly to syphilis, one may prevent and eradicate dementia in AD. The impact on healthcare costs and on the suffering of the patients would be substantial.
