Alzheimer's disease - a neurospirochetosis. Analysis of the evidence following Koch's and Hill's criteria.

Spirochetal infection occurs ***years or decades before the manifestation of dementia.***

As adequate antibiotic

and ***anti-inflammatory therapies***

are available, as in syphilis, one might

prevent and eradicate dementia.

Thank you for posting this Marnie. My grandmother died in 2004 of what was labeled alzheimer's. However, she had a documented history of lyme disease and was treated with only 6 weeks of doxy months after first demonstrating a bulls eye rash. I remain convinced that it was chronic Lyme that killed her, as she was never the same after getting bit.

Thanks again for sharing this. Jess.

As lyme can be connected to many seemingly different neurological illnesses, this next set has many good links that could be of help to anyone with any kinds of neurological questions or conditions:

HEAVY METALS - must be considered for anyone with any neurological symptoms.

And many with lyme have elevated levels.

Elevated Heavy Metal burden (even without a chronic stealth infection) can cause symptoms of all kinds of neurological conditions.

Most LLMDs and LL NDs know about this and many know what to do.

However, as with lyme, most regular doctors (and even specialists) are not just clueless but dismissive.

Search at www.mercola.com for more about Heavy Metals, Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, etc.

Mercola is a very strong leader in researching the top experts in this area - as well as for the best quality of nutritional supplements.

He is not a LLMD, though he has had good lyme articles at his site. His work regarding support options is still a vital help to all with lyme.

Another excellent site that posts research about heavy metals that the main stream media (and most doctors) totally miss:

http://www.naturalnews.com/

Just search. This is a top notch site.

PARASITES is also a topic (I know, not a fun or elegant one, though).

Parasites often travel with lyme and, again, this point is totally missed by most regular doctors.

I can't get into this to even post a concise links set but it's very true that parasites along with lyme can make everything much harder to treat if the parasite issue is not addressed.

And parasites can CAUSE all kinds of neuro trouble (even without lyme).
