Is Alzheimers Caused By a Bacterial Infection of the Brain?Posted by Paul Jaminet on June 28, 2010Leave a comment (11)Go to commentsAs I noted earlier (http://perfecthealthdiet.com/?p=86), everyone gets chronic bacterial infections; infection rates are nearly 100% in the elderly. In most people, however, the infection doesnt progress to overt symptoms until old age. The first symptoms, apart from loss of athleticism and energy, often appear in the brain and nerves. This is because neurons are a uniquely cozy home for bacteria. Because they cannot burn fats, neurons have high levels of the energy substrates that bacteria rely on pyruvate, lactate, and other products of glycolysis.Loss of memory is one of the primary symptoms of bacterial infection of the brain. I myself had a chronic bacterial infection that caused loss of memory, and my memory was recovered with antibiotic treatment. (I now, thankfully, have a 100% functional brain.) The experience persuaded me that Alzheimers was very likely due to a bacterial infection of the brain.Several recent findings support that inference. Alzheimers patients almost invariably have infections of the brain and nerves. C. pneumoniae is the most common agent. Post-mortem autopsies found that C. pneumoniae infections in 17 of 19 Alzheimers brains, but only 1 of 19 non-Alzheimers elderly brains. [1]The characteristic physical feature of the Alzheimers brain, clumps of amyloid-beta, are plausibly the result of the brains antimicrobial defenses. It turns out that amyloid-beta is an antimicrobial peptide, part of the brains defense mechanisms against bacteria. [2]These findings are consistent with a bacterial origin for Alzheimers. In the Alzheimers brain, the bacteria are parasites, stealing fuel and nutrients. This may be why the early signs of incipient Alzheimers are similar to the cognitive symptoms of hypoglycemia.If Alzheimers is indeed caused by bacterial infection of the brain, then it is a treatable often, curable condition. Ill discuss in my next post some steps that will treat and help cure Alzheimers.[1] Balin BJ et al. Chlamydophila pneumoniae and the etiology of late-onset Alzheimers disease.
