Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / January 2008What will the "experts" create next: Frankenstein?
While there's no cure in sight (except guesswork) from the experts on Lou Gehrig's Disease, Chronic Fatigue, Parkinsons, AD, MS ALS, Lupus and a host of others, they now want to clone monkeys, animal/human varieties and humans! Has this world gone mad?

Since your little groupy has been unable to provide me, and the viewers, with scientific evidence that Alzheimers is NOT caused by a viral infection, or provide me with the names of the "smart experts" studying AD, fess up. We agree on two: Alzheimer's Disease IS caused by a viral infection.

There is indeed some recent evidence that the Herpes Simplex Virus, (HSV) the cause of the common cold, may play a role in AD. See: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070103110103.htm However it appears from the above article that very little is known about this other than that mice with the ApoE-4 gene, which is more often associated with AD than other versions of the ApoE gene, have more frequent HSV outbreaks. There's no doubt that AD is a very, very, very complex disease. There are genetic factors, aging factors, possible viral factors, and very likely other unknown factors that appear to play roles. I think it would be a mistake to say at this stage of our knowledge that AD IS caused by a viral infection. It's probably a mistake to say there is one cause. And it's always a mistake to say that because we don't have scientific evidence that AD is NOT caused by a viral infection that it must therefore be so caused. We also have no evidence, I think, that AD is NOT caused by cosmic rays, gravitational perturbations, cell phones, mosquito bites, or eating bananas. Alan >> ...
