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?

Arguably, the biggest champion over the years for cancer as a metabolic disease and largely ignored by medical opinion leaders, has been Dr. Thomas Seyfried who has promoted ketogenic diets as an adjunct to conventional treatment. A state of ketosis lowers blood sugar which tumor cells need, and elevates ketone bodies which normal cells can use for energy but tumor cells can’t. But even he seems blind to the clues about viral causation. In a 2014 study in Cancer Letters, he augments his theory of the central role of metabolism in glioblastoma in describing how 90% of brain tumor cells are infected by cytomegalovirus, “which is a supercharger for allowing tumor cells to use glucose and glutamine.” That biochemical pathway allows energy for tumors to grow despite inadequate oxygenation. But he doesn’t ask, why are viruses there to begin with and what other role might they play? Is this an example of mind control suppression to limit scientific progress?

In 2001, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched a trial to lower blood glucose levels in diabetic patients to reduce their risk for heart attack, stroke, or death from cardiovascular disease. The trial, called Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes, or ACCORD, involved over 10,000 Type 2 diabetic patients who had either been previously diagnosed with heart disease or had two or more risk factors for heart disease when they entered the study. Half received standard treatment and half were treated aggressively with higher doses of antidiabetic drugs. The trial was halted 18 months early because of a 26% increase in deaths in the aggressively treated group. The NIH said there was no conclusive link to a particular medication. Were these outcomes just a fluke or was over-medication involved? What is Creator’s perspective?

The diabetes drug rosiglitazone, sold under the trade name Avandia, has come under scrutiny. From 1999 to 2009, nearly 50,000 people on Avandia suffered heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death. In Europe, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended in September 2010 that the drug be suspended because the benefits no longer outweighed the risks.[10][11] It was withdrawn from the market in the UK, Spain and India in 2010,[12] and in New Zealand and South Africa in 2011. It is still being prescribed in the U.S. following a review of safety data by the FDA. Is this drug safe to use or are there cardiovascular risks? What is Creator’s perspective?

Are clinical studies in less prominent foreign scientific journals more likely to be reliable than what is reported in major U.S. journals, due to less interloper interference with the studies or their interpretation?

Did the saying known as “Occam’s razor” arise, or has it been perpetuated in human culture, as a consequence of mind control manipulation to keep people from thinking very deeply about the improbable as an explanation behind the problems of the world and thus promote simplistic thinking and complacency?
