I work with several clients who have Alzheimer's. Once so very articulate minds now have to be reminded to do simple tasks or shown familiar/common places like the bathroom.

LOOK AT LYME DISEASE. Lyme disease is growing faster than AIDS.

IT's the same thing! Same symptoms when it's in the brain. It's hard to treat!

They are finding a link between Alzheimers and Lyme Disease. Long term non detection can lead to Alzheimer's.

I have lyme disease and have come across all this information that needs to be shared. People need to be educated. Our environment is having problems and its in our backyards. and insects. And that is a topic in itself.

What if Alzheimer's is caused by an insect bite's venom? These super bugs manuever like this video, that's what they look like and they colonize in the host. Lyme changes its "protein Coat" to hide themselves and go deeper in tissues.

THEY LOVE THE BRAIN.

This Scientist from the movie "Under our skin" dissected 10 Alzheimer's brains and found lyme disease in 7 of them. There are links to Dr. Alan MacDonald's reports and findings: http://www.lymediseaseresource.com/wordpress/genetic-frankenstein-a-link-between-chronic-lyme-disease-and-alzheimer's/

Because of the political controversy surrounding Lyme Disease, Richard Blumenthal is making a good case out of it.

These are bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and most therapies because it can change it's protein coat: http://www.lymediseaseresource.com/wordpress/genetic-frankenstein-a-link-between-chronic-lyme-disease-and-alzheimer's/
You can looking at International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society at: http://ILADS.org
Check out the movie, "under our skin": http://www.underourskin.com/ or you can watch it on Hulu.

This hopefully will help those also suffering from Huntington's Disease, where the same thing happpens, protein build up that kills the brain cells. My husband died at age 57, our daughter, age 40 has HD and her son is at 50% risk. No cure for HD. Personally, after seeing the horific things they go thru, I could care less about some rat! We have domain over all animals.This may also help those with other neuroligical brain disorders.For mor HD info, go to hdsa.org

know of two people with the disease. one just died and the other is still alive. it's an awful disease to see in what was once a lively, intelligent, human being. it's really not a joking matter but can understand people joking about it who have not seen the disease up close and personal.

"- through early detection and treatment, before it has a chance to spread,"


I don't understand why they wouldn't have been doing that to begin with.

They didn't know how it worked before. Duh...

To me, it's just common sense that that should have been one of the things they were looking for.

My Father and all of his Brothers died of this disease. You would not be making jokes about this if you knew what it did to a person you loved. He didn't even know who his children were. It hurts when your own Dad don't remember who you are, even when he lives with you.

Let's look at the bright side:

1. You always meet new people.
2. No more watching rerun on TV.
3. You can hide your own easter eggs.

I don't think you would find Alzheimer's disease so funny if it happened to someone you love. This is not a joking matter.

Sounds like good research and I hope it does help find a way to stop the disease.
