Many studies over the years have shown evidence of an association between herpesviruses and dementia, suggesting at least some influence on susceptibility or progression, if not frank causation. 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?

The Kiva Black Seed Oil, cold pressed, gelcaps (1000 mg each) I have been taking are no longer available. How would you rank the Micro Ingredients Black Seed Oil 240 softgels, 1000 mg each also containing 1000 IU of Vitamin D3, versus Horbaach Black Seed Oil, cold pressed, softgels, 1000 mg?

Dr. 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?

Dr. 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?

Dr. 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?

I asked previously: Would a 1000 mg dose of purified squalene have more effective antiviral and anticancer effects than a similar dose of shark liver oil? And you answered: “This would be a superior choice to be taking for anyone concerned about malignancy because it would be more potent.” Is a 1000 mg daily dose of squalene safe to use as a routine supplement? Is that dose more appropriate for treating a known malignancy, and is so, what would be a safe routine prophylactic dose?

How effective is the Balinese immune booster, galangal, versus vitamin C for prevention and treatment of chronic viral diseases? You ranked vitamin C higher, bumping galangal off the list, but would galangal be worth substituting for any of the others on the list if they are not locally obtainable?

A recent paper describes health data from 8,407,849 citizens of South Korea, comparing those within one year of receiving shots for Covid-19 with a group never receiving shots. There were statistically significant increases in overall cancer risk and for six types of cancer: thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and prostate. Risk of cancer was greater with both mRNA vaccines (thyroid, colorectal, lung, and breast cancer) and cDNA vaccines (thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers). Administration of booster shots was associated with increased risk of three cancers (gastric, pancreatic, and leukemia). [Kim et al. Biomarker Research 13:114, 2025.] Are these data accurately reflecting a real risk from receiving such shots? Is the increased risk of cancer despite the type of vaccine, pointing to something sinister which is not the vaccine technology itself being dangerous?

DR FOSTER offers a supplement with CoQ10 600mg Ubiquinol, plus Vitamin E 45 mg, Phytosterols 50 mg, PQQ 40 mg, and Black Pepper 3 mg along with lipids for extra absorption enhancement. It lacks the Resveratrol in the Zebora supplement I take currently, but would it be preferable to have this more bioavailable ubiquinol instead of the ubiquinone?
