To Rick, Lisa, Brett, Linda, Brooklyn, and Elimy A team
Im grateful to my family and friends for encouraging me to write this book and for understanding when research and writing kept me away from other activities. Special thanks are extended to Marv Miller, my dear friend and illustrator, who created all of the images in this book. My thanks are likewise extended to SammyJo Wilkinson and Randal F. Hubbard for their help in wading through an enormous amount of medical literature.
Id also like to thank the many researchers who have worked to elucidate and explain the causes of Alzheimers disease, especially Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD; Steven Gundry, MD; David Perlmutter, MD; Joseph Mercola, MD; Mark Hyman, MD; and Rodney Dietert, PhD. Id also like to express my gratitude to Layla Milholen at McFarland for always being ready to answer my questions and for being patient as I deliberated for two years, waiting to find an important, fascinating, and meaningful topic to research and write about.
When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers disease (AD) in 1981, there were no effective therapies for this condition and little was known about its causes. As a clinical chemist with an interest in alternative medicine, I bought her various supplements designed to increase acetylcholine levels and improve memory. My pharmacist brother gave her medications intended to help increase cerebral blood flow. None of these therapies helped. Her gerontologist checked her thyroid, vitamin B12, and folate levels and found them to be within the normal range. All we could do was offer comfort and support as her condition deteriorated.
Over the years, I kept up with advances in AD, volunteered at a nursing home for AD patients, and wrote two books on the subject. From scrutinizing the results of studies presented at international conferences, I learned that a lack of exercise, chronic stress, and a high-sugar diet were considered contributing factors to Alzheimers disease. These factors marginally helped to explain the probable causes in my mothers case.
However, in pondering causes, I recalled hearing about the time that my mother was paralyzed for one year when she was six years old. Too many years have passed to determine the cause of this paralysis, but I had to wonder whether my mother had suffered from reactivation of a herpes virus, particularly Cytomegalovirus , or if she had been infected by a variant of the polio virus or contracted Mycobacterium avium from the chickens our family raised. I also considered the DDT trucks that barreled through our neighborhood in the summers and the pollution from the Lake Erie fish we ate.
This past year, when my husband developed Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO), which is a condition of shingles that affects patients eyes, I was surprised and alarmed to find that recent studies showed a strong association with developing AD within five years. However, it was encouraging to learn that while the risk of dementia remains high, treatment with antiviral drugs reduces this risk by a factor of ten.
I was also surprised to learn that numerous viruses, bacteria, spirochetes, and fungi had been found in the brains of patients with AD. Considering that Treponema pallidum has long been known to cause a similar form of dementia in patients with syphilis, the pieces to this intriguing puzzle grew clearer. However, the question remained regarding whether many different microbes caused the neuroinflammation that leads to AD or if one particular organism was the true cause.
