Does Herpes cause Alzheimer's Disease?

Thought some here might find this interesting. It will be interesting to see if the greater medical community pursues this or tries to sweep it under the rug. If the cause is Herpes, there's really no money to be made out of curing Alzheimers...

Interesting to see more discussion of this role infection plays. More likely, I think, multiple chronic infection, again, with herpes playing some role.

They are in the third stage of trials for IVIG usage in Alzheimers patients. The results have been very promising. If it is b/c of infections you can easily see why. Why has it taken us so long to start reconnecting the brain back to the rest of the body??? A rhetorical question--just infuriating.
