This makes no sense.   Considering the number of alzheimers patients who end
up in nursing homes costing the goverment huge amounts in medicaid, it would
be absolutely more cost effective (if there really WAS an effective
treatment) to treat it.   Considering that there most likely isn't any way
to treat it, and that this posting is most likely just another of the flakey
spammers with all sorts of bizarre miracle treatments to sell, I am just
going to ignore it as it deserves to be ignored.

:  There has been articles,showing a strong decline in alzheimers patients.BUT
:  the antibiotics that,slow the process are expensive and insurance companies
:  dont give a darn,about the patients problems.Blame the good ole USA.

The Globe article you'd cited suggests there may be some benefit from
doxycycline, one of the two named antibiotics mentioned in the
article.  If it's true then the good news is generic doxy @100mg is
very inexpensive in the good ole USA -- less than $10 for a month's
supply even for non-seniors w/o prescription coverage.  Maybe need to
blame someone else?

The problem I see with this bit of nonsense is that, AFAIK, Alzheimer's
does not respond to antibiotics since it appears to be an organic
degeneration rather than an infection.

Blessed be,
