ā€œTeams have started to link persistent pathogens to the Alzheimer’s disease process… the plaque could be an antimicrobial peptide,ā€ said Dr. Proal on Adam Rinde, ND’s podcast. ā€œIf they put a herpes virus into a [neuronal] model, the Alzheimer’s plaque forms right around the virus.ā€

It was great to be a guest on this podcast. I discuss mechanisms by which persistent #infections can contribute to a wide range of chronic diseases. This includes the potential ability of viral, bacterial or other pathogens to ā€œseedā€ Alzheimer’s plaque: open.spotify.com/episode/3asb8F…

Yes! And we are excited that a grant to PolyBio will allow more imaging, and gut biopsies analyzed for #SARS-CoV-2 RNA, to be performed on participants in this trial

The VIPER program has huge potential, and this is a great summary! But to clarify - we are still in the process of getting VIPER fully funded by private donors. We have a slide deck on VIPER that can be shared with interested donors. Email [email protected] to inquire.
