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 1 day ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers11 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 5 days ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers40 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 5 days ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers29 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 5 days ago • Healing Modalities35 views0 answers0 votesA review article shows little or no benefit of supplementing patients with vitamin D3 for bone fractures (T. Gatt, A. Grech, and H. Arshad. The effect of Vitamin D supplementation for bone healing in fracture patients: a systematic review. Adv. Orthopedics Volume 2023, Article ID 6236045). However, the supplement doses of vitamin D3 were either low, 800-2000 IU daily, or quite high loading doses orally or systemically of 100,000 to 300,000 IU. Was their negative assessment justified or were the studies flawed? Would taking a 5000 to 10,000 IU dose of vitamin D3 daily, give significant benefit for healing bone fractures?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions206 views0 answers0 votesI found a single published case report of someone with recurrent periodontal disease who was studied and found to have a high Epstein-Barr viral load subgingivally. Antiviral treatment with Valtrex for a period of 10 days reduced the virus to the detection limit and the periodontal disease improved dramatically. The condition was stable when checked a year later and the virus was still barely detectable. [PT Sunde, et al. Patient with severe periodontitis and subgingival Epstein-Barr virus treated with antiviral therapy. J Clin Virol 2008 Jun;42(2):176-8.] Viral screening is not done routinely for patients with chronic gingivitis. Was this a meaningful example of what could be achieved readily with a shift in thinking by periodontists to try an antiviral in patients, especially those with severe chronic gum disease?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers132 views0 answers0 votesAs 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?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers116 views0 answers0 votesYou told us in a channeling that in about 80% of periodontal disease cases, the chronic gingivitis is actually caused by a virus, and a search of the literature turned up some scientific support of viral involvement in that disorder. A paper by M. Kazi, et al. (J. Clin. Diag. Res., 2015 Jul, Vol-9(7): DC05-DC08) describes that among 75 patients with periodontitis, 81.33% as a group had detectable HSV-1, HSV-2, Epstein-Barr virus, or cytomegalovirus. Although scientifically, this is only showing an association of virus presence, is this actually reflecting true causation of the illness for those patients?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers142 views0 answers0 votesWhat percent of migraine headaches are caused by chronic viruses present in the body?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers288 views0 answers0 votesIs fatty infiltration of the pancreas actually a consequence of a chronic viral infection, as is the case for fatty liver disease?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers276 views0 answers0 votesWhat percent of proctitis cases are viral in origin?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers251 views0 answers0 votesA viewer requested a session to help her issues: “1. Work. New management. Feel like I can’t do anything right. I’m being left out of key decisions and initiatives. Don’t know who I can trust. 2. Mind. Brain fog and memory issues. Making mistakes I would never make before. 3. Weight loss. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to lose weight. Lack of energy. Feel emotionally, spiritually, and physically drained. Not sleeping or dreaming like I used to. 4. Feel alone, mostly at work but don’t feel like I have a lot of friends to turn to.” Are any of her issues the result of chronic viral infection or targeting?
