Gut health has recently been linked to Alzheimer's disease (and therefore, probably, many cases of dementia as a whole). The study can be found here, "Common Gut Infection linked to Alzheimer's Disease". Any other industry, on learning this, might be expected to ask the next question.
What is causing this infection, why has our gut been harmed?
But not, of course, pharmaceutical medicine! Whilst, for example, a car manufacturer might want to learn about problems that arising in their vehicles in order to remedy it, drug companies are weary about doing so as it might just identify one (or more) of their drugs as a cause of an unhealthy gut. And this would, of course, be bad for business!
Over 15 years ago I produced a list of pharmaceutical drugs that had been (and still are) linked to dementia and Alzheimer's disease. As you can see they include:
- vaccine ingredients such as mercury and aluminium derivatives
- the 'flu vaccine
- antidepressant drugs
- antipsychotic drugs
- statin drugs
- Benzodiazepine drugs, and other sleeping pills
- anticholinergic drugs
- antihistamine and other allergy drugs
- proton-pump inhibitors
- painkilling drugs
- epilepsy drugs
- HRT (hormone replacement therapy)
- and many more.
So is it any wonder that dementia, in all its forms, has increased to epidemic proportions during the last 70-100 years, mirroring the enormous rise in the consumption of all these drugs? Another common drug prescribed in vast quantities during this time are Antibiotic drugs - designed to kill bacteria - usually taken by mouth directly to the stomach - and so let loose on the beneficial bacteria of our gut microbiome. A direct, and surely an undeniable link!
So is dementia caused by pharmaceutical drugs?
And does the pharmaceutical industry want to ask this question in order to discover what has been causing the epidemic of Alzheimer's disease?
We can be absolutely sure that the drugs do; but the industry don't! My e-Book, "Iatrogenic Disease: the "Disease-Inducing-Effects of Pharmaceutical Drugs", demonstrates that most common chronic diseases are, to one extent or another, linked to well-known 'adverse drug/vaccine' reactions.
Yet you will never hear this from the pharmaceutical industry, or the conventional medical establishment, or government, or the mainstream media - most of our main sources of information.
Why?
The drug industry is just too powerful to permit it; and it uses its vast wealth and influence to ensure that we do not get to know about it.
