I came across this when down the 36 egg rabbit hole.

It seems this angle is being studied more in Europe and Asia than the USA today. Sure this is a concern to me at the age of 67 but that it is striking people in their 40's now is alarming leading them to have to drop out of their active lifestyles.

    I worry about the objectivity of any study that is pushing untested vaccines as a solution.

    Well the vaccine option is for the 11-26 age group that for the most part are not on MFP. :)

    I am not sold on untested vaccines either. I am concerned with learning the causes of dementia and what I can do a senior citizen to bypass life shorting dementia.

    I wonder what impact a viral inhibitor - like Elderberry extract - would have on the dementia, with or without the presence of HSV1...
