Re: people wanting ME to be an incurable virus rather than a psychiatric condition and also how alzheimer's is considered a psychiatric condition.
Why is it that alzheimer's has been linked to the herpes simplex virus then?
Eli Lilly developed a drug to get rid of beta-amyloid plaque yet people got worse rather than better. Dr. Ruth Itzhaki and Mark Wozniak found that the beta-amyloid plaque contained the herpes simplex virus. It's thought that the body produces this plaque in order to protect the brain from the virus. They want to see if anti-virals will be a good treatment for AD.
