The link between Alzheimer's disease and Lyme disease has now proven! It's been a hypothesis, until now...Please read my new article in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports that just went live.
This Substack has huge implications both for chronically ill Lyme patients as well as Alzheimer's patients, so please share this Substack with everyone you know and care about. I did a deep dive into the implications of this finding in this Medical Detective Substack which explains why all 16 MSIDS factors need to be screened in AD; why a biofilm/perisister drug regimen was effective in lowering down p-tau and improving Beta amyloid where prior regimens may have failed; and why, based on these results, if you are a chronically ill Lyme patient and/or AD patient, you need to show this article and Substack to your doctor and neurologist because other options are now available that may be able to help.
I want to thank all of the researchers who laid the ground work for this article, including Dr Judith Miklossy, Dr Eva Sapi, Dr Alan McDonald and others, who had published in autopsy studies that Borrelia was associated with biofilms, Beta amyloid and p-tau, showing that rates of AD were at least 10x higher when Borrrelia and associated spirochetes were present. I also want to thank my office staff, and especially John Fallon and my good friend Phyllis Freeman, who were instrumental in my helping to get some of my prior research done.
This is new era in medicine. See my prior Substacks on AD and how to test for these biomarkers, and to see more research supported by the MSIDS Foundation, please see our website at the end of the Substack, as well as the link for the upcoming Doctor Talks Lyme Summit, where I will talk about this study and its implications in great detail.
Onwards and upwards!
