See these images of Borrelia DNA in Alzheimer's disease brain tissue - Including Specific DNA probes.
This is may be a great breakthrough for Alzheimer's medicine, there are some very compelling images of Borrellia (Lyme disease) spirochetes.
More research needs to be done on this topic. There is a very strong indication of borrelia spirochetal infection of the brain causing Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, etc. When autopsy reveals spirochetes in 7 out of 10 brains of those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the medical community needs to get up.

Alzheimer's Medical Alert Bracelet – How to Use It
If you or a member of your family is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, you may want to think about a special Alzheimer's medical alert bracelet. It can come in handy if you ever have an issue with your parent or spouse or whoever the patient wandering off somewhere they shouldn't. It can be very difficult even for law enforcement or emergency medical personnel to assist such ones if they cannot verbalize themselves their condition, or give them an emergency contact name and phone number.
Such persons undergoing from chronic conditions have been using medical alert bracelets for years as a means to inform emergency services of their condition, allergies, medications, and so on in the event they are found unconscious. An Alzheimer's medical alert bracelet works in much the same way. It can alert medical personnel of the patient's condition and any medications they're on. Moreover, it can help law enforcement in the event that the patient is found wandering or someplace they shouldn't be.
There is an entire business now built around making good-looking Alzheimer's medical alert bracelet, so there's no need to think that some clunky military-style chain is your only option. In addition, there is no law or regulation that states what information must be on such a bracelet, so don't think that your patient will be neglected if they're not wearing the "right" style of bracelet. Normally anything with the medical alert charm will alert the proper personnel that the patient has a condition. Any additional information after that is helpful. Some Alzheimer's medical alert bracelets can even be homemade with regular beading kits, and you can add your own charms and links.
Apparently you don't need to make your own Alzheimer's medical alert bracelet if that's "not your cup of tea." There are many places online that sell them in a variety of styles. There are some companies that have even designed a small type of GPS system that fits into the bracelet to be able to find your patient if he or she should wander off. This type of Alzheimer's medical alert bracelet is helpful if your patient has a tendency to wander off or if he or she is experiencing uncertainty. It's rare that such a patient cannot be found but it does happen, and so this type of small chip in a bracelet may be worth the few extra dollars it costs.

What Is the Alzheimer's Patch
It's believed that the medication Exelon is to some extent successful at treating the early stages of Alzheimer's dementia. It helps to protect the brain's cognitive abilities and slows the progression of the disease. Nowadays, many patients are being offered Exelon in the form of an Alzheimer's patch rather than a pill and there are a few reasons why a caregiver might prefer the patch over the pill.
For one thing, sickness, vomiting and diarrhea were reported as common side effects of Exelon. Using the Alzheimer's patch seems to reduce on these side effects, as the medication is more easily absorbed into the system and does not wreak such havoc with the digestive system. It may also help the medication to work as it retains its full potency. When any medication is taken orally, it gets broken down in the stomach and goes through a partial digestive process before it is absorbed in the bloodstream. To neutralize this, oral medications are usually stronger than any other form, and have a greater tendency toward side effects. They also take longer to reach the intended area of the body that they need to affect. An Alzheimer's patch does not need to go through the digestive system this way. It can be better absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin and starts to work almost immediately.
There are also sensible reasons for choosing the Alzheimer's patch over pills. Most Exelon patches need to be adhered only once per day. This makes it easier for the patient who may suffer from lapses in memory and is not sure if they have taken their pills, or who may have difficulty remembering to take them at a definite time. They are easier to manage physically than pills themselves, as Alzheimer's patients often have difficulty with swallowing. Also, caregivers do not need to worry if the medication has been administered to their patient or not. They can easily check the Alzheimer's patch on their patient and see if it is new or needs replacing.
Side effects for the Alzheimer's patch seem to be minimal, and don't normally cause skin problems. There is still some nausea with some patients, but only about one-third the number of those who report nausea with the pills. In general, most patients and caregivers tend to prefer the use of the Alzheimer's patch over the pills.
