I note that amyloid is an antibiotic / anti bacterial, I note that gamma globulin is being trialled for neurodegenerative disorders. Prana's original drug is on old antihelminth medication, I note your postings on antimalarials being used in other neurological degenerative conditions; yes PBT2 is a chelating agent and that seems to help reverse the degenerative processes in Alzheimer's and other CNS disorders , but is it treating a symptom rather the disease itself ? What is causing the metal homeostasis problem in the first place? Associations I listed are indicative that the problem maybe an infection of some description , any interesting publications screening diseased CNS tissue for foreign DNA, rna to indicate a pathogen ? I believe there is a traditional Chinese herb to treat dementia - what is it called and how does it work? PS I am a medical doctor but not a neurologist, so my postings are to be considered educated guess work only, my apologies skint , your detailed replies are most illuminating I am very grateful and flattered by your considered responses -you seem to be a scientist by training - or are you self taught.? If so very impressive indeed. Stock Analyst.
