In that paper the authors suggest that 1) inflammation may _contribute_ to AD, and 2) the microbiome may be _a_ source of that inflammation.
Their conclusion: "Many experimental data support the involvement of a polymicrobial community in the pathogenesis of AD."
The authors do NOT claim that anyone has been cured of dementia by reducing inflammation or altering patients' microbiome. They suggest only that the microbiome and its role in inflammation may be worth further investigation.
- vimy 5y agoThe hypothesis is my own based on my own experience. Then I found out some researchers believe the same. It’s just a one paper I quickly googled. There are more but I lack the energy to link them all. Just google ‘alzheimer's infection theory’ if you want to dig deeper.
- nick__m 5y agoIn support your point the authors also state that : It would be very optimistic to imagine that an antibiotic therapy may be administered and cure, or at least prevent progression of AD. It is clear, however that no antibiotic regimen has been developed to cure periodontitis which has a similar implication of chronic infectious microorganisms and biofilms.
