Interestingly, presence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and another member of the Herpesviridae family, varicella zoster virus (VZV) have been associated with amyloid plaques in the central nervous system and recent evidence shows that amyloid plaques and tao-neurofibrillary tangles, hallmarks of Alzheimer’s pathology, are actually antimicrobial peptides produced by host defense mechanisms. A recent very large case-control study of people with Alzheimer’s showed a highly significant increased history of infection with HSV-1, and HSV-2, or VZV. [Liu, Y, et al. Association between herpes simplex virus type 1 and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease: a retrospective case-control study. BMJ Open 2025;15:e093946. Doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2024-093946] Is this case-control study showing greater prevalence of Alzheimer’s in people with a history of herpesvirus infection actually reflecting causation of the dementia by the virus?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers46 views0 answers0 votesDr. Alan Inglis, in his March, 2026 Newsletter, Nutrition and Health, had an article titled: “Alzheimer’s Disease: The Viral Trigger We’ve Been IGNORING.” It describes research on the association of Alzheimer’s disease and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1). Is this, indeed, at least one viral cause of dementia cases, including Alzheimer’s? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers60 views0 answers0 votesDr. Inglis points out that HSV-1 is more likely to enter the brain in those who carry the APOE gene. Is having that gene a predisposing factor to viral pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers45 views0 answers0 votesDr. Inglis describes using Cat’s Claw liposomal extract as a possible preventive measure for Alzheimer’s as the inner bark of this plant species, Uncaria tomentosa, has confirmed antiviral and anti-inflammatory activity. He said that a clinical study of a Cat’s Claw cream performed as well as an antiviral cream containing acyclovir for topical treatment of HSV-1 cold sores. Would an oral Cat’s Claw supplement be an effective preventive measure for Alzheimer’s?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities54 views0 answers0 votesIs Vibration Therapy using the Power Plate Personal Machine a significant benefit for helping to counter a number of aging-related impairments causing a decline in function, or is it being over-hyped?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Healing Modalities113 views0 answers0 votesIs Vibration Therapy using the Power Plate Personal Machine of particular value in helping to reverse or prevent problems in the elderly, from cognitive decline, obesity, loss of muscle mass, hypertension, and bone loss, to reducing muscle aches and pains, stiffness, joint pains, and beneficial hormone increases?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Healing Modalities127 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Can I ask directly if Creator sees I am at high risk from cancer or Alzheimer’s or any other illness?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers333 views0 answers0 votesIs the description I was sent of the Japanese nutritional supplement, Cho-Wa, accurate in portraying it as having remarkable rejuvenation benefits, including elimination of many health problems? Or was this just hype?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities457 views0 answers0 votesHow accurate and reliable is the May 2024 paper in the journal Nature Medicine claiming that the presence of two copies of the APOE4 gene significantly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease through mechanisms involving gene dose dependent risk, toxic effects, loss of protective functions, and impact on amyloid pathology? This research suggests the APOE4 gene is a genetic cause of this disease, not merely a risk factor indication. Although these findings are disputed, is this research connected to the recently approved Alzheimer’s treatment Leqembi from Eisai and Biogen, a drug that removes amyloid from the brain? How beneficial will Leqembi be as a treatment for Alzheimer’s?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities407 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Would CDS (Chlorine Dioxide Solution) also serve as a treatment and prophylactic for the 3 forms of dementia perhaps including Alzheimer’s?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities507 views0 answers0 votesIs Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) equal in effectiveness to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for prevention and treatment of dementia, and would it be more or less safe for chronic use?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities484 views0 answers0 votesOn average, which of these two commonly used drugs, ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, would be more effective in reversing dementia in patients?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities463 views0 answers0 votesWill some virus strains causing dementia respond better to one drug more than the other (ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine)? Is there an advantage in taking both together, and would that be safe? Or would it be better to try one for a period of time and then switch to the other if there is no apparent symptomatic relief?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities394 views0 answers0 votesDr. Osborne has stated, “In the past four years, there has been a 200% surge in diagnostic rates for early-onset Alzheimer’s among women aged 30 to 64.” Is that statement an accurate reflection of an increased incidence of illness, and if so, what is the cause?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers503 views0 answers0 votesCan either ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, or both used together, reverse severe Alzheimer’s disease as exhibited, for example, by a person who cannot carry on a conversation? Or will these agents only help slow down or prevent further cognitive decline in people with early signs of illness?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities454 views0 answers0 votes
