One alternative theory is borreliosis (Lyme disease).

  Any evidence of this? In the United States, Lyme disease is mostly confined to the north east. https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/images/maps/2015-dot-map-title.jpg https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/images/maps/2015-dot-map-title.jpg But Alzheimer's is not confined to the north east. It's not even more prevalent there. http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/arts/culturebox/2014/05/deathmaps/Blatt_Death_10.png.CROP.original-original.png http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/arts/culture...

    There are claims by an american pathologist, Dr. Alan MacDonald. You can find his research and videos online.

    And it should be non existent in other places like Australia if true.

  If true, what can people who already have Lyme disease do to prevent Alzheimer’s?

  Lyme Disease has been known to mimic the symptoms of so many diseases that in medicine it has the distinction of being known as "The Great Imitator". Also, tests for it are not completely reliable, some people have it and go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed for many years, and there are all sorts of anti-medical-establishment conspiracy theories surrounding it. As a result some people think that symptoms or diagnosis of just about anything could really be caused by Lyme Disease.
