ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE : A CHRONIC INFECTION

Herbert B. Allen DOI: 10.9734/bpi/mono/978-81-947979-7-5   ABSTRACT During the past few years, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been shown to be a chronic infection originating with a spirochete. These spirochetes form biofilms like most other microbes; moreover, in large measure, the biofilms contribute to both the chronicity and the pathogenesis of the disease. Once in a biofilm, the microbes become undetectable and resistant to the immune system and to antibiotics. Stroke, diabetes, nicotine, haloperidol, diet soft drinks, and others have all been shown to cause worsening of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by their impact on biofilms. Penicillin, administered before the spirochetes form biofilms, would very likely prevent the disease. Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; cause; treatment.   2020_BP_5781D-Complete...
