New Study: Common Hospital Infection Could Trigger Alzheimer's

7. No, it means every nasty bug known to medical science

can be found in or on the body. It's why we mask and glove and spend so much time washing our hands.

It means there are small colonies of nasty bugs, kept in check by a healthy immune system.

Epidemiologists have implicated other infectious organisms with initiating Alzheimer's, this isn't the first time. None of the research has come up with a clear link.

I think it will turn out to be a genetiaclly programmed autoimmune disease, most people starting to show signs like decreased vocabulary in their 50s and 60s even if they don't develop clear signs of dementia until their 80s or 90s. That's certainly the case in early onset Alzheimer's, most cases traced back to a family in Nonza, Italy.
