A recent post in Neuroscience News highlighted a new study that reveals a possible link between common herpesvirus infections and the early biological changes that precede dementia. “The strongest viral associations were seen for Epstein-Barr virus and HHV6 (human herpesvirus 6)…These findings support the hypothesis that chronic viral infections may accelerate neurodegeneration and raise dementia risk independently of genetic factors.” (“Human herpes viruses are associated with steeper age-dependent increases of serum biomarkers for dementia in cognitively unimpaired women” by Lisa M. James et al. Scientific Reports). Is this a valid clue supporting the viral causation of dementia?

A 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?

How 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?

Is 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?

Will 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?

Can 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?

A fifth type of dementia is associated with limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). LATE causes symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s, including problems with thinking, remembering, and reasoning, but has different underlying causes involving abnormal clusters of the protein TDP-43. This protein is also involved in frontotemporal dementia, but LATE exhibits a different pattern of brain changes and tends to affect people over the age of 80. Is LATE also due to a virus?

Are all viral-caused dementias due to strains of Epstein-Barr virus or is some other, or a variety, of organisms involved?

When chronic depression is caused by a virus, are the strains involved ones that can lead to dementia? Are these conditions just different degrees or perhaps reflecting different inherent vulnerabilities of the host to viral attack?
