Dr. David Eiffrig wrote a column about urinary tract infections: “Emergency physician Erika Kube, M.D. mentioned in 2021 in the Columbus Dispatch, “Altered mental status is often the only symptom of a UTI in an elderly person. Behavior such as increased confusion, hallucinations, agitation, dizziness, falls and poor motor skills are often mistaken for early stages of dementia, but all can be caused by a UTI.” Also called delirium, this rapid worsening of the mental state is more common than you’d think. It’s found in nearly 30% of older folks with UTIs.” Are these cases all from bacterial infections or are those people with UTIs showing dementia symptoms a subset with viral infections, either alone or along with bacterial infection as well?

A 2018 study estimated that infection triggers roughly half of all cases of delirium in seniors. As for the reason why, scientists suspect a UTI triggers inflammation that can disrupt how our neurons function. And UTIs are the second-most-common type of infection in adults aged 65 and over at hospitals and community-living centers (with lung infections ranked No. 1). What is Creator’s perspective about the frequency of viral vs. bacterial causation?

As has been conjectured by researchers that pathogenic bacteria from chronic gum disease might find their way to the brain and influence or cause dementia, could chronic viruses from inflamed gums seed virus to cause sites of infection not only in brain, but in other organs and tissues, like the cardiovascular system, kidney, liver, pancreas, thyroid, etc?

He asks: “The problem is that science has determined that we have the equivalent of a common plastic spoon of microplastics in our brains and that the amount of same has increased dramatically over the past 8 years from 2016 to 2024. Cadaver brains of dementia patients had up to 10 times more microplastics than those with healthy brains (Dr. Ben Miles: https://youtube.com/shorts/91g6tepzFCM?si=QI54DVU1MFVJfIHh). What are the implications about health effects from long-term exposure to microplastics in human organs?” What is Creator’s perspective?

He asks: “An operation named Superfood Evolution recommends what they identify as the top four supplements that help remove microplastics: Probiotics, chlorella, activated charcoal, and antioxidants including reishi, black seed oil, turmeric, olive leaf extract, and green tea (https://youtube.com/shorts/ObiAaTLiRII?si=z8xvGr2hR70nRk2x). Will the recommended Antiviral Regimen be safe and effective for removing microplastics, or just supportive through repairing tissue injury?” What is Creator’s perspective?

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?

You told us that the supplement, Pineal Guardian X was an effective cognitive enhancer and neuroprotectant, despite its unstated and likely modest concentration of its ingredients. You said you could help us resolve the mystery here after we do some research on what the supplement contains. What I have seen is that 8 of its 9 ingredients have been confirmed by scientific studies to possess antiviral activity, at least at high concentrations, while the manufacturer only describes other varied properties of these phytonutrients. Is there something being missed by researchers? Does one or more substance have much more potent activity on certain viruses than yet appreciated? Is there an unexpected synergistic effect of this particular combination of what may be only modest and weak antivirals? Or is there some other property making the supplement beneficial? What is most important for us to know?

You told us that the supplement Pineal Guardian X was the second in ranking among five we have asked about for preserving and improving cognitive function. Does it have any clinically significant antiviral activity within the central nervous system?

I am having trouble accepting your recommendation of Pineal Guardian X. Although it has nine ingredients, the dose of these is unstated, and the consumer only ingests one eye dropper of liquid daily, so none can be present in appreciable concentrations. Can you confirm how this product can not only be of benefit, but ranked second among other doctor-recommended nutraceuticals for cognitive enhancement?

I found a website offering Pineal Guardian called pineal-guardian.com. Why was the promo piece I asked you about using the brand name “Pineal Guardian X?” Are these marketing the same supplement from the same supplier or is one an imposter/imitator?

You suggested the following rank order preference in overall benefit of supplements promoting cognitive function: Advanced Memory Formula, FocusIQ, Ceretrol, and RediMind, in that order. Where would you rank Pineal Guardian among these?

Would it be safe and advantageous for those in need to take Pineal Guardian along with Advanced Memory Formula, FocusIQ, Ceretrol, and RediMind, if affordable?

Are there two or three supplements for enhancing cognition which would be of particular value used in combination if taking all of these [Pineal Guardian, Advanced Memory Formula, FocusIQ, Ceretrol, and RediMind] becomes unaffordable?

A supplement called Pineal Guardian reportedly contains: Yamabushitake extract (Lion’s Mane mushroom) to increase pineal gland size and reduce calcification; Spirulina that is rich in tryptophan to enhance melatonin production; “Phantom Miracle Tree” extract, sourced from a unique species of Moringa that has 90 nutrients for enhancing brain function and increasing melatonin as it reduces pineal gland calcification; Elder Tamarind to reduce pro-inflammatory molecules in brain tissue; French Maritime Pine Bark Extract to produce antioxidants and increase brain blood flow; Chlorella, Elder Mahogany Neem, Ginkgo Biloba, and Bacopa Monnieri for reducing oxidative stress in the brain, improving memory, protecting neurons and neuroplasticity, and preventing brain cell death. Their banner claims: “Data-Driven. Science-Backed. AI-Powered Results. What Happens When AI Reads 10,000 Clinical Studies? You get a formula that’s smarter, cleaner, and more effective. Designed by advanced AI. Verified by human experts. Built for real results.” Yet, they do not give a company name. Their narrative keeps quoting a “reclusive” Dr. Harrison, without stating any affiliation, and that Pineal Guardian X has been proven to work in 49,881 men and women, without citing any formal studies. Is this a safe and truly helpful product for treating cognitive decline, including severe dementia?

Aside from the merits of Pineal Guardian, is their thesis correct that pineal gland calcification driven by fluoride accumulation causes lowered melatonin production which impairs brain function?
