A global team of researches and clinicians recognize that there are specific microbes in elderly brain that could be the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. These are herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), Chlamydia pneumoniae, and several types of spirochaete (cause of Syphilis).
The scholars had published a paper at the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease in which they gathered substantial published evidence to stress the need for further research on the matter. They summarized a large amount of data that implicates these microbes with Alzheimer’s disease. Until now, these studies has been largely ignored or dismissed as controversial, despite that there is no evidence of the contrary.
“We are saying there is incontrovertible evidence that Alzheimer’s disease has a dormant microbial component, and that this can be woken up by iron dysregulation. Removing this iron will slow down or prevent cognitive degeneration – we can’t keep ignoring all of the evidence,” said Professor Douglas Kell, one of the editorial’s authors.
