Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 There may not be a THE cause. Individual biochemistry mitigates against a one concept cause. Most modern medicine is based on the canard that all human bodies are the same. Nothing could be further from the truth. But until the aluminum issue is resolved it would seem wise to stay away from unneeded exposure to some types of aluminum. Population studies have linked alzheimers to aluminum levels in water. Aluminum has been shown to produce brain degeneration in animals that is similar to alzheimers. Aluminum is often found in senile plaques in patients with alzheimers. Aluminum-fluoride and sodium-fluoride have been found to cause brain damage in rats. Perhaps fluoride is a co factor. Whatever the cause, it is clear that the US has far more cases of alzheiemrs than any other country in the world so I suspect the cause or causes are an environmental toxin. In the US we are exposed to hundreds of chemicals daily that have never been evaluated for toxic effects in humans. We lead the world in chemical exposures. Neither western medicine nor western science are generally interested in attributing medical problems to any commercially popular substance, chemical or otherwise, so there are few studies in those areas. I expect that the medical community will eventually conclude that an unknown virus causes alzheimers because that is always the response of the medical community when they have no idea what is going on. But for someone who already has alzheimers, the cause may no longer be relevant. Reversing the problem is not likley to be as simple as removing a toxic substance.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I agree with what you say and you have said it very well. This is not some kind of Conspiracy Theory, it's been known for at least 20 years. If someone already has Alzheimers, there would be more reason to use stainless steel or porcelain coated cast iron because why add to the problem if you are giving or taking meds to help reverse it?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Never said it would be unwise to NOT stay away from it. (Does that qualify for a triple negative sentence? *blink blink*) In other words, never advised cozying up to it. And yes, that was my point, it may NOT be THE CAUSE, so let's not couch it thusly. That's terribly misleading. Thanks. Thousands of studies have linked thousands of things - it still doesn't make them the CAUSE. Sharon, NH There may not be a THE cause. ....But until the aluminum issue is resolved it would seemwise to stay away from unneeded exposure to some typesof aluminum.Population studies have linked alzheimers to aluminum levels in water. Aluminum has been shown to producebrain degeneration in animals that is similar toalzheimers. Aluminum is often found in senile plaquesin patients with alzheimers.
