Alzheimer's Disease Revealed: Causes

Alzheimer's disease is not fully understood by scientists, however, light appeared at the end of the tunnel for the scientific world. Studies have confirmed that doctors have a chance to prevent or predict a common disease among the older generation.

The increased concentration of herpes viruses HHV-6A and HHV-7, according to scientists, is the root cause of the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. The published results of the study in the journal Neuron, were immediately criticized by other pundits. In the media, innovators were accused of unreliable results.

In the group of 1000 people diagnosed with Alzheimer's, only 30% of patients showed an increased concentration of herpes viruses HHV-6A and HHV-7.

The link with viral ethology in the 30% sample is insufficient. To be sure of a positive test result, 51% is required. In addition, scientists concealed that in healthy people who were not struck by Alzheimer's disease, an excess of the herpes viruses HHV-6A and HHV-7 was detected. Professor of Genetics, University College London, John Hardy, recommends continuing research and not getting distracted by hasty conclusions.

Alzheimer's disease is a disease that affects people over the age of 60 years. Short-term disorder and loss of long-term memory with impaired speech and spatial orientation are basic symptoms. Progressing, the disease leads the body to death. So far, the disease is considered incurable.
